Brace yourselves over Stokes...

How long before one of the bookies look to promote a boxing match between Stokes and Barton

Stokes would kill him

Stokes is a f**king idiot, I hope he gets everything he deserves thrown at him.
It pratts like this, that the younger generation of sports beginners will deem is the responsible way to act.
Absolutely mad

Not at all as I dont care about my post count its only other who worry about it but my point is had you and others like you not mentioned it nobody would have been any the wiser so you did him no favours, whether it be by design or not.

Utter crap. We live in a digital age. This sort of thing will go viral every single time, and will be massive news whether you choose to talk about it or not.

How many people on here had read it prior to the post on here I wonder, not as many as have read it now.

My son played cricket for Yorkshire (U10s) this season. He LOVES cricket and Stokes is one of his favourite players. I can assure you that neither he nor any of his cricket mates think that brawling in the street at 2.30 am is "the responsible way to act". He just thinks that Stokes has been a prat and hopes he still plays in the Ashes (as do I).

This role model stuff is massively overplayed. He's clearly been a dick but it shouldn't affect his sports career because kids might think it's OK to do the same. Provided their parents teach them right from wrong then what Ben Stokes does isn't going to make the slightest bit of difference.

Also, it was deemed fine to have a serial philandering, prostitute shagging, pisshead smoker as England football captain until recently.

Yes, but not proud of it, as it was after battering a chap who hit me with a bottle in my pub in Midhurst. He was about 25 and took liberties after I asked him to leave for being a nuisance, because I was as he saw it an old man I was actually 53 years old.

WHY have we not had a thread from UNREST yet about the THYME he was BEETUN up by a pub landlord in MIDHURTS, when he was 25?

Not contents with knocking a man when he is down he now starts a new thread about it.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Ben Stokes is EXACTLY the sort of character we'll need Down Under.

This. They are not gentlemen. We need to get amongst them. Stokes is key. Was not last time round the Broad not walking issue. They will be merciless if we let them.

You are right, it's just me sounding off.
I know most grounded kids will not act irresponsibly.
As for shrek, well I think there has already been a thread about him

We've all been there

Sorry if fixtures as only read first few (and last 2) pages. But........the guy who he started going for had a bottle in his hand and went to hit the guy with the gilet on. Not only can you see it but you can also hear the bottle drop when Stokes goes for him. Not condoning it entirely but it changes things if someone has a weapon. What would you do if someone was swinging a glass bottle at you and your mates? Think the two issues here are 1) Why were they out and getting into those situations on a Tuesday night at 2am (being professional sportsmen) and 2) Why did he not walk away when the little bottle-wielding coward seemed to be wanting to sprint off after seeing Stokes was an absolute beast?

On a side note - Hayles is always getting smashed out in Bristol. Saw him in Motion (warehouse nightclub) off his tits once with a bottle of champagne in his hand in the crowd - was jokes.

Incredibly you can still get 10/1 on Australia to win 5-0 this is amazing value. I've just lumped a monkey on it.

I just find this kind of attitude tiresome. Whilst he has clearly been an idiot, He's a young bloke and he has a life away from cricket. How many of never effed up in our teens or twenties? A couple of moments of madness shouldn't ruin a young mans life and by the way, I have a ten year old who loves cricket and Stokes. The British media just loves to build a hero to shoot down. He will be harrangued for years now.

Hey it was only IMO.
I know we've all effed & jeffed in our youth, but to batter somebody so severe goes beyond the pale.

....I remember Botham getting absolutely flamed for allegedly shagging a former Miss Barbados and 'breaking a bed', and allegedly smoking a bit of dope, and liking a beer or two.
