    How tall is he?

    Six feet, one inch. Scored a shedload of goals at Celtic and Hibs. Flopped at Sunderland, from where he was loaned to Palace in 2009: 13 apps, one goal. A few years ago he head-butted a man in a Dublin bar; a court ordered Stokes to pay the victim, who worked as an Elvis impersonator, 230,000 Euros. Simon Jordan tweeted: "That's about the same amount I paid Stokes to impersonate a footballer".

    The amount of grief Elvis has given me through the wife id of headbutted him as well.
    What you do step on her blue suede shoes?
    Nah, she started to sing "Suspicious Minds".
  • Personally wouldn't give a toss if he turned up for training in a Bobby Sands t-shirt singing republican ballads if he scored 20 goals and got us promoted.

    Problem is though that he won't, firstly because we won't sign him, secondly because he's utter shite - he's scored 5 goals in English football in 69 games

    Ched Evans coming here would ruffle a few feathers.

    Robinson has dismissed a link to Hibernian’s Anthony Stokes.

    Charlton have agreed a loan deal to bring in an attacker - but boss Karl Robinson isn't revealing who the player is.

    The Addicks are hoping to bring in Crystal Palace winger Sullay Kaikai on loan, while Robinson played down reports linking Hibernian striker Anthony Stokes to the club.

    The Valley boss said: "We got the green light for one before kick-off. So we worked very hard through the other night.

    "I spoke to the player, spoke to the football club. I’m not going to tell you because I don't want to jinx it. Hopefully we can get one or two things over the line.

    "He’s a good size, great shape, he’s 6ft 1ins or 6ft 2ins, he’s quick left-footed. So it will be nice to give us that balance as a lefty.

    "But as a striker he can play as a nine. Hopefully we can get him to the training ground on Monday and finish it off.

    "We’ll pick up [the Kaikai deal] tomorrow morning. We want to get it over the line. He’s a special talent, I know they've turned down a lot of bids for him.

    "I never thought there would be an opportunity to bring him in. His goals to game ratio is as good as most people we've had here.

    "I know he went to Brentford and did well and scored some wonderful goals. Maybe the Premier League is a bit soon for him."

    It’s already been denied we’re in for him, whatever religion/allegiances he has are irrelevant either way.

    Think the confusion came from the player being a left footer.

    A very silly comment, but hardly an immediate ban. Maybe a temporary one, unless we know he said it as a troll.

    Very, very silly.

    "hardley an immediate ban" wot the fuck should be then ?
  • Agreed GH - promoting a terrorist organisation who murdered many many British people over a prolonged period is as low as it gets.

    I’m guessing (but happy to be proved wrong) that racial or homophobic abuse etc would result in a ban??

    That was far worse!!

    The only reason I have to support Charlton is that I live in London due a Protestant British Soldier as a father (from NI), and a mother who has Catholic roots from Cork. They married.

    I heard horror stories of an uncle shot at on a motorcycle because he was RUC. An uncle who lost his teeth through an IRA "checkpoint". And a father who was on a kill list. There's more but it's pointless.

    I've got flagged before for claiming that the IRA were murderous bastards. But I don't want him banned, for all I know it was a misjudged joke. Lets leave it.

    But also let's allow this shit to sink. The thought of petty idiots clinging on to football and using secterian violence as an excuse is disgusting. Fuck fans of either side that cling on to violent histories. It's alright from where they sit, but lives and communities were destroyed.

    Sink. Move on.

    Looking at his otherwise faultless posting history it was probably a bit of weird satire gone awry.
