SOCCER
James McClean has apologised to the broader Stoke supporter base for the comments he made on social media last weekend.
The Republic of Ireland winger described a section of fans that had been abusing him as "uneducated cavemen" in an Instagram post.
McClean was responding to a small number of Stoke supporters whom he claims were abusing him for his religious beliefs and upbringing.
The 30-year old says he apologises to the "vast majority" of Stoke fans, who may disagree with his decision not to wear a poppy, but are decent and respectful.

Liverpool's owners have issued a denial that they are looking to sell the club.
A report in the New York Post claimed that Fenway Sports Group would listen to offers in excess of 2-billion dollars for the Premier League outfit.
It was claimed John W Henry and F-S-G were engaging in a "passive sales process".
But a club spokesperson has called the report "unfounded speculation", adding that Liverpool is not for sale.
F-S-G bought the club in 2010, succeeding unpopular owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

BOXING
The Irish Athletic Boxing Association have expressed their concern at the sport's future Olympic status.
They've revealed that they voted for unsuccessful candidate Serik Konakbayev in the AIBA Presidential election last week.
The Kazak lost to Gafur Rakhimov, who picked up 86 of the 134 votes cast.
The International Olympic Committee have previously stated that boxing's continued Olympic status would be in jeopardy due to Rakhimov's connections to organised crime in his native Uzbekistan.
Over the years, boxing has accounted for 16 of the 31 medals won by Ireland at summer Olympics.
