Nile Ranger (now a free agent)

Recommended Posts

We should produce an instructional video starring Ranger and Sammy on the wrong way and the right way to deal with starting a premier league career as a young striker.

 

Have them both at different sides of the stage, Sammy in his striped pajamas having a cup of cocoa and praying his thanks for his opportunity, then bring up the lights on ranger having a west side story style choreographed fight with his gang of backing dancers.

 

Actually, wait, I want it to be a stage production, scrub the video idea.

Also don't blood tests mean he refused to be breathalysed or they suspected that he was on drugs?

Think it's just that a roadside test on its own isn't enough to convict. If you fail the breath test, you get taken in for the blood test.

Wrong, if you fail a roadside breath test you get taken in for a station breath test. There are then several reasons why blood might be taken.

 

1) the breath test machine did not produce a reliable reading. (mouth alcohol/malfunction/ readings too far apart)

 

2) the breath reading was between 40 and 49 and Nile elected to take his statuatory option to provide blood as an alternative over the breath test.

 

4)there was a medical reason why Nile could not provide a breath specimen. (highly unlikely a professional athlete couldnt provide enough breath)

 

3) the officers suspect drugs might be involved.

A further reason could be that there was no one available who was trained in the intoxiliser during his time in custody, happens a lot here as there are so few trained, particularly during the nights.

Not true sorry, its actually a camic machine that is used, and for an officer to go through the blood procedure they would have to be trained and authorised to do the breath procedure.

Maybe its different over here (N Ireland) but here there are very few staff trained in the station intoxiliser machine and often the easiest process is a blood sample taken by the FMO.

Nile ranger Lifes Too Short To Worry About Things. 7 hours ago.

 

Like turning up for training on time, your diet, your career, your future, other people's safety...

 

Yeah. Worrying isn't a good idea, but thinking comes in handy.

Only thing about releasing/sacking him, is that surely we'd have to pay up the 5 year contract he signed late last year?

 

Unless we can argue something about his behaviour/attitude, and offences (if charged)?

If he's sacked, we don't owe him anything.
