Anthony Stokes

* so there is


Back on topic, I hope he signs a new contract, don't want to loose both him and Hooper.

 

He'll be here next season.
Took up the option of anther season.

But of course * be here longer than just next season.

 

its unlikely he would move to a premier league club, but would definitely get a move to a championship club I think.

 

I think if he was leaving on a free he would DEFINITELY have interest from a few Premiership clubs. There are many far worse strikers than Anthony Stokes playing there.

Ant and decked: Stokes nightclub brawl with Elvis impersonator

All shook up ... 'bouncers separated them and turfed Stokes out'

NIGHTCLUB bosses told last night how they kicked out Celtic star Anthony Stokes after an alleged bust-up with an Elvis impersonator.
The 24-year-old striker was thrown out by bouncers following the altercation in the VIP area of a Dublin bar.
The brawl is said to have erupted after a drink was spilled on Presley fan Anthony Bradley.
And the singer, thought to be in his 50s, was treated in hospital for a broken nose and chipped teeth following the incident in Buck Whaleys on Saturday.
Police in Dublin are treating the incident as a “vicious” and “unprovoked” assault.

Probe ... cops are investigating claims
Last night a spokeswoman for the nightclub said: “A drink was spilled on Anthony Bradley’s coat. Bradley was there as he’s a friend of the band in the nightclub.
“Words were exchanged between two groups. There was no big deal over it.
“There was some altercation then and he was kicked out with his group of friends to avoid any further trouble. The bouncers were straight in, separated them and turfed Stokes out.”
The altercation is said to have happened in front a number of witnesses as the club was closing at around 3am.
A pal of the alleged victim added: “He performs at some pretty big events in hotels, his act is very popular.”
Performer Anthony — who didn’t know who Stokes was — reported the incident to cops who are investigating the alleged bust-up. It’s thought the row was also caught on CCTV cameras.

Controversy ... Stokes' dad John
A police spokesman confirmed: “We are investigating an allegation of assault in the early hours of Saturday morning.
“A complaint was made at Pearse Street police station.”
A pal of the Elvis tribute act added: “Anthony went to the police this morning and he’s been to the hospital as well.
“The whole incident was caught on CCTV.”
Last night sources close to Dublin-born Stokes — who is now on holiday — played down the reports that the striker had been involved in a serious bust-up.
A Celtic insider said: “Some guy came up and gave him a bit of jip but there was no headbutting, he was not thrown out of the club and there were no police involved.”
Buck Whaleys is one of Dublin’s most popular nightclubs with four bars over two levels, including a main club, a terrace smoking area and the VIP Boudoir Suite and VIP Parlour Bar.
Stokes has been hitting the headlines ever since he joined Celtic from Hibs in 2010.

Club ... star was in VIP bar of Buck Whaleys in Dublin on Saturday
Last December Hoops boss Neil Lennon blasted him for attending a tribute to honour Alan ‘The Model’ Ryan — the murdered head of the Real IRA in Dublin.
Republican band The Players Brigade — which includes Stokes’ brother Michael as one of its former members — played at the event and also sold a CD on the night containing a ballad about Ryan. On the day of his funeral in Dublin last year, Stokes tweeted: “Thinking of you Alan.”
In 2011 bigoted yobs targeted the striker’s West Lothian home — terrifying his pregnant girlfriend Debbie Lawlor who was inside at the time.
She was forced to flee the property, which the couple later quit for good.
And earlier that year his dad John was nicked by Dublin cops probing a turf war between crime gangs and the Real IRA.
The 55-year-old, was also ordered to take down a controversial banner from outside his pub in the city ahead of the Queen’s visit in May that year.
The poster, which included two pictures of the Queen, said: “As long as the British occupy one inch of this island they will nevere be welcome in Ireland.”
Celtic declined to comment on the nightclub brawl allegations last night.

Might ruin his new contract!!

 

Let's wait and see what the outcome is before people accuse him of anything

 

Bit strange, police weren't called straight away, why would he attack someone unprovoked

 

True,say it was do you think we'd let him go?

Lenny already said about brining problems to the club and since he's only just rejected a contract this IF true might be the end if his celtic career...

I definitely hope not!

 

It says unprovoked but sounds like either stokesy or one if his company spilled a drink over the guy accidently or not and its escalated from there pretty much..

 

Quite possibly, yes.

 

I would be beyond furious if Stokesy doesn't get his contract

I forgot all about that film

 

It's still mildly amusing :smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002:

 

Must say I'd be gutted to see him go, but looks like Lenny might be at the end of his tether with all the non football related *. Would understand him getting punted, no player is bigger than than the reputation of our great club.

 

Sounds like the media blowing another nothing incident out of all proportion.

 

Seems the Elvis guy is all shook up.

 

Uh huh.

 

All these suspicious minds, lets see how involved he was first but it does seem like there was a little less conversation-a little more action hope it wasnt him though,sort of nonsense you might see in the ghetto
