    West Brom Training camp incident - makes ours look a bit tame!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43089347

    Stole a taxi....!!! Wonder if anyone will get the sack....? If all Stokes did was chase a player with a fire extinguisher and break curfew and he got the boot then it looks pale in comparison.

    It was Gareth Barry, Jonny Evans, Boaz Myhill & Jake Livermore.

    They’re senior players and should be setting an example particularly in the situation they are in.

    If they are the leaders of the team, no wonder they are ****ed.

    3 of their better players as well. Evans probably the best at the club and in demand. So they won't be getting sacked then!

    I like the way the article carefully doesn't mention the players' names, then the quote from the journo below talks about Pardew being unable to control his most experienced players.

    The West Brom players merely inconvenienced a taxi-driver.
    Our lot inconvenienced an entire hotel - with fire alarms and extinguishers going off, and with an evacuation into the dead of night by pyjama-clad guests, including our very own Leeann Dempster.
    The West Brom high-jinks was light weight in comparison.

    You seriously believe that 4 stone cold sober senior players stole a taxi? I'm struggling to believe they were anything other than blootered.

    The players have just released A STATEMENT.

    Maybe Stokesy should have thought of that. A bit of public contrition can go a long way.

    Still at a deathly early time in the a.m., when most people are enjoying deep sleep.

    I’m afraid I can’t have any sympathy for a club managed by Alan Pardew.

    He is an absolute slaver of a man that makes a great living moving from club to club, yet consistently leaving them in a worse place from when he took over.

    Modern-day footballers sticking two-fingers up to the fans who spend a large % of their income and time supporting their bottom-of-the-league club - nothing new !

    Especially from their most experienced players. Hugely dangerous behaviour given you must assume they were hammered at the time.

    quite a sad situation for the Baggies fans. they must be livid after hearing of this. WBA were my favourite English team almost 20 years ago as I worked directly opposite the stadium for a few months and went to midweek games. the fans were superb, despite my obvious Scottish accent.Also, a former schoolmate and a boy brought up in my village signed for them aged 16 . added to the recent passing of one of their most famous heroes Cyril Regis the fans must be totally pissed off and raging that their bloody well paid modern day experienced players have made almost a 2 fingered gesture to the club's instructions.

    Means that at least one of them is guilty of drink driving. That makes it not so funny. Apart from the theft aspect. In a normal job you would likely be sacked for gross misconduct. Says a lot for the way Hibs dealt with Stokes who was arguably our star player.
