Stokes tunnel bust-up with ref

ANTHONY STOKES is facing an SFA rap after being sent off in the TUNNEL following the Scottish Cup semi-final loss to Hearts.

SunSport understands Celtic hitman Stokes has been reported by ref Euan Norris for comments he made to linesman Willie Conquer at the end.

Hoops boss Neil Lennon is also facing ANOTHER charge after he was hauled into the ref’s room at the final whistle.

Stokes will be hit with a one-match ban after he was reported for offensive, insulting and or/abusive language.

The Irish hitman was summoned to Norris’ dressing room following his bust-up in the tunnel after the Hoops were dumped out of the Cup.

It’s claimed Stokes clashed with Conquer in the tunnel after Celtic lost the semi in controversial circumstances. Norris awarded a soft spot-kick to Hearts after the ball had struck Joe Ledley on the elbow.

Stokes will now be banned for one game in next season’s Cup.

Boss Lennon, though, could be facing a much bigger ban.

He charged on to the pitch at full-time to confront Norris over his decision to award Hearts the penalty.

He appeared to call the whistler a ‘joke’ after Norris penalised Ledley.

Once he was off the pitch, the Hoops gaffer was summoned to Norris’ room to be told he was being reported for adopting aggressive behaviour towards a match official.

In normal circumstances, a member of a team’s coaching staff would be hit with a two-match ban if it was the first offence that season.

If Lennon is punished for comments he posted on Twitter minutes after the semi-final ended, this will be the FIFTH SFA charge he has to answer this season.

He is already facing a grilling from SFA bosses over comments made about Willie Collum in the League Cup Final.

He’s also in hot water after being sent from the dug-out at half-time in last month’s Old Firm clash.

Lennon has also been asked to explain comments asking for a strong referee before a 2-0 win over St Johnstone.

He is sure to be in more trouble for claiming that refereeing decisions against his team were now ‘personal’. That could mean a huge touchline ban for the Hoops gaffer that could easily stretch into next season.

Well, after complaining like fuck that the referee in the game at Ibrox wouldn't talk to him after the final whistle, I'm sure he was grateful to be invited to attend the referee's room at Hampden.

Can just see the legal arguement to get stokes off...............you have to understand the our client has just recently found out his dad is not his dad, in fact he is his brother/daduk.gif

Ans with regards our manager oops our other client the manager of the club..................this man is under untold pressure re wondering what is coming through the post or when the next teaxt arrives saying he has another child or when he will need to get a set of dentures , or wen the bank may discover it was his signature on the loan guarantee.

This is a family man who is ridiculed and the subject of many lies, indeed his enemies even got a double to be videoed singing sectarian songs.

This man should not be punished it was just banter.laugh.gif
