Pretty much as the rumours suggested.

The final straw for Anthony Stokes at Hibs came after the Irish striker was responsible for setting off a 5am fire alarm in the team’s Algarve hotel, according to the Scottish Sun. Hibs players and staff, along with other hotel guests, were forced out of their beds in the dead of night after the Stokes-led prank went wrong.
The 29-year-old was said to have let off a fire extinguisher at two of his younger team-mates, one of whom scampered through an alarmed fire exit, setting off the alarm.
Stokes was joined in the prank by Danny Swanson and Martin Boyle. All three players were disciplined for their part in the incident and dropped from the club’s winter-break friendly against Willem II. Swanson and Boyle have since returned to the Hibs team, though Stokes was soon released from his contract. Manager Neil Lennon would later say he’d afforded the striker enough chances and had finally ran out of patience.

Pretty much on the money as I understand it. And witnessed first hand by a club director woken by the noise beforehand.

I just dont understand that newspapers ideas?
So what if it is true (and im not saying it is) its old news and has been dealt with!
This paper seems to have it in for anything Hibernian at the moment which baffles me!
OR is it because we beat the Rangers on Saturday........... stranger things have been known to happen!!

why are directors and LD all in Spain. Would think playing staff coaches only??? honest question. Silly boy but wonder if Lennon could have contained without directors knowledge if it would have been swept under carpet. Hes gone though and looks like best outcome for Hibs

The story of today for the press seeking controversial stories should of course be the headline -
How Did Referee Andrew Dallas Not Give A Red Card ToThe Hearts Player For Aiming An Off The Ball Violent Full Swipe Kick At St Johnstone Player?
But it wasn't and it won't be and then its no surprise when they instead muck rake up a now old story regarding Hibernian FC the club that could jeopardise their beloved huns third placing in the league.
mon the cabbage!!!

Not quite sure how old story in a newspaper could in any shape or form influence our efforts to finish up the table as high as possible.After all it’s no secret to anyone at the club and any readers who care will know that the club made the right decision in the right way.If anything it makes the club look ore professional.

It's a 50-50 and admittedly Wotherspoon leads with his boot but there's no connection whatsoever - however, the Jambo does what's natural to them and falls screaming to the ground, clutching it's leg in agony - only for it to bounce back up almost immediately (2 seconds - I've counted !!) to have a go at Wotherspoon !. No wonder Wright was going mental - it's not by coincidence they're called the 'Diets' when you see them getting away with things like that !!
