Apologies Drumcondra, i just saw your comment and posted a reply, didnt get the full story!Originally Posted by Drumcondra 69er
If that was my point why would I have said 'I think he's right to be coming down hard on him btw, only making a point.' in my previous post?
Simply pointing out the irony and thinking it'd be funny to see how Keane would react if a player behaved like he did in his early career.
Some people are very defensive when it comes to matters realting to RK obviously, it was a light hearted comment hence the smiley at the end of the original post.
It wouldnt be like citizen to jump to conclusions either would it??!!! See Liam Brady thread!!
Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don't show up tomorrow don't bother showing up on Monday.
Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend

No bother mate. (I'd put a thumbs up icon here if one existed!)Apologies Drumcondra, i just saw your comment and posted a reply, didnt get the full story!

Yes there is a distinct lack of icons.
Must be some sort of expresion rationing.
Rumours about another incident regarding Stokes on Sunderland message boards.Noticed he has been left out of squads by Keane recently.Hope its not true but some mackem supporters reckon himself and Halford will be shown the door this transfer window.
I wouldn't be too upset tbh if he left. He needs coaching and games more than he needs a bollicking.
i think he needs all three eirebhoy........They seem to be comparing him to Thornton...don't think they are far off the mark at the moment...Has talent ..whether he has desire to succeed and be a major star is out woth the jury at the moment
Bring back the plank
I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as people make out though. Sean McCaffrey can't speak highly enough of him. He always comes across really well in interviews and has an intelligent head on his shoulders.
I hope Strachan takes him on loan.
Is there a link to this ?
Heard those rumours about 3 Sunderland players. Ian Harte was also involved. Could be rubbish.
Always look on the bright side of life
What's the rumour?
In Trap we trust
There's the cover story anyway...
Sound like boll1x to me. Wonder was Harte on the decks??!!
KEANO'S IN A HUSH-UP
6 January 2008
STOP the presses ... Roy Keane does have a soft side, after all.
The Sunderland gaffer found further evidence that managing a football team doesn't just mean picking 11 players and sending them on to the pitch when he had to step in to sort out a dispute between his forward Anthony Stokes and a neighbour.
Keane's office took a phone call from an irate woman demanding to speak to him and, when she was told people couldn't just ring up and get the Irishman, she replied in no uncertain terms that if he didn't return her call within the hour she'd be going to the newspapers.
Ten minutes later Keane, wisely, belled her up and the woman lodged a complaint that Stokes had been playing music too loud at all hours of the day.
And it seems her complaint hit the mark. Keane assured her there would be no more parties, Stokes found the remote and, two days after the call, a bunch of flowers arrived from Keane and the club offering their sincere apologies.

Edited to say beaten to it by Neil!
Teenager listens to loud music. The lad's career is finished. He's a wrong 'un, irredeemable.
Yeh but allegedly the music was Westlife.There is only so far you can go defending people however young.
Seriously though I still think this lad has serious talent but it is worrying he is not even making the Sunderland squad atm.A loan move to a championship club could be the making of him.
C'mon Anthony you have the ability, make us proud.
Absolutely disgraceful "journalism."
Even worse for the people thinking he's going to be a failure because of that.
The guy has talent and he's not even 20 yet.
Take the microscope off him and let him get on with it.
It is a different rumour that is apparently keeping him and halford out of the squad. ..Won't state what it is as it is only a rumour at the mo and I don't want the forum getting into bother...Stokes is talented and looked class underage..hope he comes through all this and becomes a star
Bring back the plank
A quick google of Sunderland, forum and Stokes will reveal the rumour.
Suggests all three have been sacked.
Very serious if any truth in it.

Pretty stupid thing to do, in fairness.

My post or what they allegedly did?
I get the impression it's not true anyway.
Apparently they're in the reserve squad.
Edit - According to official website all three in reserve squad tonight.
