See what happens but if I was walking about waving a bottle about/metal pole about outside a nightclub or a pub in an aggressive manner, I'd expect a thump.

If he isn't found guilty I'd say he's served enough punishment from the ECB for the games he's already missed.
Well yeah I probably agree
But we’re not blaming the ecb for him going out and getting pissed I assume?
If you were a professional cricketer representing your country a few days later I would hope you wouldn’t be out pissed as a fart at that time of the morning

Don't see a problem to be honest. He's entitled to go out and have a drink and enjoy himself
You don’t see a problem being pissed up a few days before a game? You think he would perform at his best?
There is defending him and there’s just talking shit

No problem at all.
Yeah ok. You’ve met him, we get it. So you will defend everything he does

If stokes does get , a sentence of community service, found not guilty
And
The FTECB decide to ban him from England service, does it follow, he would be available for Durham?

What were your thoughts on Darron Gibson having a drink and enjoying himself days before we played Derby last year?

"Days before" i assume you mean 3 or more in which case fine.

It was the Ramside incident almost 6 full days before the Derby game, if that changes anything.

Don't see a problem with a sportsman having a drink 6 days before a match. My issue with Gibson was his drink driving. Can't comment so much now we don't go in but the Durham players used to knock some drink back in Austin's during the season, some more than others, nobody ever used to say anything

Was he driving on the Ramside evening? I thought he was just enjoying a drink in the hotel where he was living.

No idea I was merely pointing out that was the issue i had with Gibson. Drinking 6 days before a match, absolutely no problem at all.

No problem at all with Darron Gibson and the Ramside incident then?
No, because a fit and healthy adult (which clearly he is as a professional sportsman) can quite easily get over the effects of drink in two days.
The game was 24/9 - the next game was 27/9. In my view, that’s more than enough time to recover.
Nope, this is entirely on Stokes and I'm sure he's been hammered by the coaching team, Strauss and the ECB behind closed doors.
And no, I don't think players should be drinking 6-10 drinks a few days before a match and I'm sure you'll find any number of nutritionists, dietitians and physios who can tell you why not. Regardless of what the Durham players used to do in Austins.
