Hales and Stokes

[Steak Pie]

Regardless of whether he has committed a crime or not, as an international sportsman he (and Hales) shouldn’t be out getting pissed a few days before a game.

This isn’t club cricket where we have a few beers and a laugh. This isn’t the 1970s. He’s getting paid a fortune to perform for his country, he shouldn’t be on the lash

He’s then stupid to have got himself in a situation where, as a high profile sportsman, he’s

1) an easy target for other pissed up lads
2) a public figure who may (or may not) be made an example of

A smoker as well, it turns out.

Dear me.

Anyway, glossing over your turn of phrase - I don't know. The footage shows he does jump in and reacts to the other two trying to bottle some other lads. He definitely does go in a bit hero after the bottling.

Doesn't help the bouncer testified that it was Stokes who was giving the gay couple abuse. Like you say though, just the one side given so far.

Pretty damning I think. Will be interesting to see if they are called as witnesses for the defence and if so what they say.

petrocelli. There's a blast. I wonder if he ever finished that wall he was building?

He didn't. the desert Apaches used to sneak in in the middle of the night and remove the courses of bricks he'd just laid that day …. the tinkers.

Apparently never finished his dream house and is still living in the mobile home, last seen at Seaton Carew caravan park.

Sounds like that is being suggested to be not true this morning.

@mirrorasap is a good account for updates

The bouncer is giving evidence now

Gordon Cole, barrister for Ben Stokes suggests to PC Adams that for six minutes the footage shows his client laughing and joking with Kai Barry and William O'Connor. Police officer agrees.

Mr Cunningham says the England players were "good as gold, all happy." #BenStokes

Mr Cunningham says the England players were "good as gold, all happy."

Also from Mr Cunningham..

Mr Cunningham did not recognise them as being famous. He said one of the men, with ginger hair, offered £60 to get in before they offered £300 and he still declined them entry.

He said the ginger man referred to Cunningham’s four gold teeth, telling him he looked like a c***. The ginger man then mentioned his numerous tattoos and said how s*** they were, the jury heard.

“It was quite a spiteful tone, quite an angry tone,” Mr Cunningham said.

Would you believe a bouncer?

 

[willo]

Long way to go in this but so far it’s not reflecting well on Stokes.

It’s not really if the 2 lads are backing stokes, which they have already

The only damaging thing is the video, the rest is absolute nonsense

Long way to go in this but so far it’s not reflecting well on Stokes.

Of course it doesn’t, he hasn’t offered s defense yet

To people on here actually not know how trials work? Some strange comments

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Mr Cole quizzes Mr Cunningham on his police statements and asks him why he said he had seen the CCTV at the time of the incident in Sept - but he told the court today it was the first time he had watched it. Mr Cunningham admits he cannot explain it. #BenStokes

 

[Parkside]

According to the Mail neither Mr Barry nor Mr O'Connor will be called to give evidence.

 

[brandon]

Bouncer told police in a statement at the time he’d seen the CCTV footage. However this morning he claimed it was the first time he’d seen the footage.

Everything he’s said in court should now be struck off.

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Would you believe a bouncer?

No, never. But he'll have to call them as witnesses now, otherwise it will look suss.

He's fucked himself there. Even if its not struck off, Stokes's barrister - who I should imagine won't have come cheap - will be allover him, absolutely ridiculing him to the point of irrelevance.

Absolutely this mate, it’s the reason why I thought it best if the mods lock the thread - because it’s f***ing embarassing reading shite from people who’ve already given him the death penalty based purely on the case for the prosecution

Mods, I know I’ve asked already, but please lock this thread, just to stop the moronic shite

If the mods locked every thread that was full of moronic shite, we'd have nothing to post on

 

[smoker]

How can two witnesses at the centre of the incident not be called as witnesses?

 

[brandon]

Can’t argue with that like, but this is moronic shite that could have legal implications

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Staggering the 2 gay blokes won't be called to give evidence. The bouncer has been proven to be a liar.
