Why is it headline news and why do Stoke feel the need to investigate the goings on and punish them? It sounds like a bunch of footballers doing what they do in and around a football club? Am I missing something obvious? (again <laugh>)

Can you imagine how Gazza or a member of the crazy gang would have got on in this zero tolerance culture?
 
BBC:
Stoke City are to investigate after a pig's head was reported to have been left in the locker of striker Kenwyne Jones at the club's training ground.
Jones was said to have been furious and manager Tony Pulis will discuss the incident with his players on Saturday.
"A full internal investigation will be carried out," said a club statement.
"Those responsible for any unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with in accordance with the club's disciplinary procedures."
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Pulis said he would be looking into the incident before their final match of the season, against Southampton on Sunday.
"We have a smashing dressing room, and there are four or five lads who are always up to something. There is always banter going on.
"I honestly don't know what's gone on this morning, I've missed all of what's happened. I try to stay away from the home dressing room as much as I possibly can, I let the lads get on with it.
"We will look at it tomorrow, I will have a chat with the lads and find out exactly what has happened. From that point onwards we'll let everybody know exactly what the situation was."


Priceless! <laugh>
 
False alarm, Jones had forgotten that he'd stuck a mirror to the inside of his locker door.

To be fair Jones smashed his car window, which is criminal damage.

Wow what a big deal. Do you honestly think they don't damage each others possessions? Have you never heard the stories of flash big time charlies turning up in their Armani suits, only to find them burning in a bin after training. Tyres being slashed etc etc. I think Glenn will be able to stretch to a new windscreen. Boys will be boys.
 
Apparently Jones is Muslim which heightens the seriousness of the incident somewhat

Well, that would make it very serious indeed.

Only if Whelan is making some sort of religious statement. If he is just saying that Jones is pig headed or just being daft, and has been a bit thick/insensitive with regards to the significance to a muslim/rasta then no big deal. Apologise and move on. I find it hard to believe he will be trying to rile Jones on account of his religious beliefs. I thought he was rasta anyway? (still doesn't eat pork)

He will, put the fact of the matter is if tomorrow I smashed your car up, you would ring the police and I would get done for criminal damage if I was caught.
