Title: Player caught again for pissed up driving without a licence?
Post by: Dave Clark Five on January 09, 2013, 10:28:58 AM
I was told last night that one of our players, currently banned for drunk driving, has been nicked again on the same charge.

Any truth in this?

How many have we got banned? If its the true and its the high profile one, then i can't possibly see how the club could keep him.

Smells like bulls**t to me. Can't imagine he'd have been selected if true.

I would have thought that drink driving while serving a ban for the same offence carries a fair risk of a spell inside.

That's true. Still, if it is true, it's a totally indefensible breach, and the club should sever the contract.

As Damo says, if true almost certain to end up in chokey anyway.

If true, make them be a crash test dummy for some drinking driving test.

Unless of course he's a good defender, if which case cover it up, blame somebody else and sweep it under the carpet.

Well it's not Bannan anyway.

 There was some kind of joke circulating where there was a Range Rover crashed and they said it was him.

Cant we sever his contract anyway, for being shit.

Mmmm....I heard something over xmas from someone normally very reliable that 'one of the players who had been banned from driving was ignoring the ban'. Looks like there may be some substance in this.

I remember noting with interest that when Chelsea cancelled the contracts of two players for unprofessional practices, as luck would have it the two players concerned were on lucrative contracts but not contributing much on the pitch.

They even managed to sue for a 'transfer fee' for one of them when they subsequently signed up at another club.

really simple. Sack the player concerned. If he's had his warning then there is no room for leniency. If it's who we are thinking it is then he's been little use of late anyway. We have to set an example and the potential consequences of drinking and driving are way bigger than football. Once is too many, twice is inexcusable.

let's hope all of this is bullshit then and if it is true it isn't him. A lot of people on here are pro-Bannan "the player he can be" and much less the "wanker he often comes across as", or the "player he thinks he is, and clearly isn't"

Knowing us, the player in question will be Benteke, we'll get rid of him, then have to pay his new club £25m for taking a risk with a criminal.

A handful of internet nerds discussing whether or not he's done it - he's not exactly being "hounded" is he

He got more stick last night from those Asian lasses in the home end every time he took a corner. That was funny

I dont think he is a wanker, or one of our promising youngsters either, purely on a football basis the best way to describe him is that he "flatters to decieve"...he has ability, but he should be contributing a lot more, now he is more established in the first team.

Agreed, though he's been miles better this season than before. I think he should play further forward, always looks more dangerous when advanced, and clearly doesn't have the presence to be secure in a midfield two.

We need help not them, most of them are on crazy wages and perform abysmally - we are the ones who support  the club and suffer the results .

Maybe this explains why they've all been so shit for the past two years, because the boss has on both occasions been Scottish and knows of no other way to get through the day than to gt completely wandered on the falling down water....

It's all coming together now....
