So Doherty hasn't, as yet, suffered a career ending injury then? Shame.

Well done Stokes!

[Sir David Gray]

I hope Ireland's matches are being held in London or else he won't make it.

[et_hibby]

This give him an extra lift on Sunday? :flag:

[NYHibby]

Neither him nor Doherty were actually called up yet. As the article states, they were named to a provisional 40 personal list which will be shortened before 20 March.

[California-Hibs]

Doherty?!?! Surely not! That boy is a grade A..

Not a fan of the guy but no need for this, embarrassing.

You embarrass easily.

You embarrass easily.

Not at all. Yours was a crass, Jambo-esque comment.

[marinello59]

Spot on.

Stick yer Jambo-esque pish where it belongs. The boy utterly disrespected MY club on an already pretty crappy day. You may forgive. I don't.

[AlbertK86]

Well done Stokesy ... Hope it gives you a boost before Sunday

As for Dohertyy. Thought he was a very good player and had some very good performances for us but his comments after the final turned him into a horrific signing in some folks eyes

I must have missed that. What did he do?

[Vini1875]

Well done Stokesy, I'm hoping this is the extra incentive to push him on to greater effort for us.

[Edson Arantes]

I must have missed that. What did he do?

I don't know this either.

[CropleyWasGod]

There's forgiveness, and there's wishing career-ending injuries. I'm in the middle.

[LustForLeith]

Interesting quote from Martin Oneill who says Stokes is one of the three laziest players he's ever managed!

[sleeping giant]

I've never really got the outrage from folk on here when someone wishes an injury on someone.
I've wished injury on plenty people in the past.

What difference does it make ? It's not as if the wish is going to happen is it?

Too many folk looking for stuff to get offended about.

Bore off.

[Andy74]

Doherty?!?! Surely not! That boy is a grade A..

I'm sure the squad is picked more on ability. He has been a regular for Wolves since leaving us (where he also did quite well).

Fairly sure a daft comment by him once won't feature too high on what his national team manager will be considering.

[ronaldo7]

I've got a good feeling about Stokes for tomorrow. Hopefully he can bag a couple.:aok:

[hibsbollah]

That can't be right. We were told on here by multiple knowitalls he had 'no chance' of being called up?
