Stokes is clearly a #@&%!. But my understanding is that he grew up with these scumbags, and has known them since he was a kid. Not excusing him retaining links with them, but it's more understandable than Goram who grew up in England and sought out links to terrorists in later life, in order to gain kudos with the Rangers supporters. Much less excusable in my book.
As for Goram's explanations, they were so lacking in any credibility to the point that they were completely worthless. Black armband was for his auntie who had died 4 months previous... not much of an "out"
And he claimed he had a photo taken in which there was a UVF flag on the wall behind him and he didn't even know it was there... Less plausible when you see that's he's holding the thing in his hand, with a big grin on his mug.
