(Graphic) Stoke's Kenwyne Jones threw a brick through teammate’s windshield after pig’s head prank

[Renew Deal]

Stoke have launched an internal investigation after a prank gone wrong prompted striker Kenwyne Jones to reportedly throw a brick through teammate Glen Whelan's windshield after finding a pig's head in his locker. This comes just days after the Stoke boys dumped eggs and flour all over Michael Owen's car. Michael Owen apparently did not go on a rampage after that incident, though.

Jones is understood to have been furious after discovering the bloody carcass in his locker on Friday morning and threw a brick through the windscreen of Glenn Whelan's car as revenge. [...]

It is understood Whelan, the Republic of Ireland international, was behind the prank and he is expected to meet Stoke officials to explain his behaviour before Sunday's trip to Southampton.

1. I read about this yesterday..

and though I understand Jones is a Rastafarian, it was just a prank, and throwing a brick through a car window in response is an obvious overreaction. His girlfriend, Kissa Abdullah, sure isn't helping the situation with her tweets either.

Earlier Abdullah revealed what had happened, writing on Twitter: "Big men acting like kids a pigs head is not a prank its just disgusting!!!!! Wtf??? I don't get how was that sup 2 be funny!!!! Really???"

Then she wrote: "me as well I really don't get it at least do a fake one not straight from the butchers! Anyone would be pissed! … they put a huge bloody pigs head in his clothes at training! He warned them 2 keep him out of the banter or else! u kno the rest."

Regarding Jones's and her beliefs, Abdullah tweeted: "Listen 4 all those who don't get it lay the f! back! Where I come from that's not anywhere close 2 funny! Esp not knowing religious beliefs."

Another said: "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions mine is I don't agree wrapping a pigs head in his clothes!" She also retweeted another tweet that stated: "do you know what a pigs head represents in a Muslim religion ??" with an earlier tweet written by Abdullah, saying: "It just takes a minute to be sensitive to someone's beliefs no one says u can't have a sense of humour but let it be a joke! This wasn't!"

She also conceded that Jones's smashing up of Whelan's car was not the best way to have reacted. "you know wat agreed but everyone reacts differently !" Abdullah wrote.
