Dokko Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Pardew and the players in their statement only refer to the break of curfew, has this just been blown out of proportion? Especially as no arrests were made, I’d imagine they would have been if they did actually steal the taxi. Although my Spanish law/policing knowledge isn’t great. They were questioned by police, so it’s more than getting drunk and breaking a curfew. WBA and the players will naturally want to downplay whatever happened. If the taxi part of the story is true then they deserve sacking, but WBA are not in a position to do that, plus with them being senior players they are of significant financial value to the club and they will want to protect that value as much as possible until they can atleast cash in. Sacking? Fuck off, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was questioned by police after an assault in York city centre 3 years ago, but I wasn’t involved in it at all. Questioning means nothing, if they stole a taxi there would be huge amounts of evidence and more than enough grounds for arrest (at least in this country). West Brom's Evans, Barry, Livermore and Myhill apologise for taxi incident http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43092534 Mentioned in almost every Media source - it happened. “it is alleged” Maybe they did take a taxi, but the Spanish Police don’t seem too arsed by it, so it probably has been totally blown out of proportion from the grand theft auto initially reported. Maybe VI can provide a bit more clarity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is that you don’t get questioned by police for being drunk and breaking a curfew, something more obviously happened, even if they wern’t responsible.

Dr.Spaceman Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Fuck West Brom, I hope their club goes into liquidation for this snippet from their forum... The modern football fan has no patience. Our strike force of Rondon, J-Rod and Kanu are incapable of scoring goals, doesn't matter if Pardew is in charge or Alex Ferguson.

Mbemba Youre A Womble Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Probably the most interesting thing that's happened in Jake Livermore's career. At least he'll have something to shove in a book when he retires. Other positive is hopefully this rules him out going to World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Still need more details obviously but on the face of it it's not exactly crime of the century like. Nicking a taxi to get you back to a hotel is ridiculous but hardly worthy of more than a severe bollocking. What's a bit more sinister is the fact that it's being driven about by someone who, I'm assuming, has had a bit to drink. I've presumed that obviously but I don't think I'm going out on too much of a limb in saying that. That cranks it up a bit from just banter. I could be totally wrong like.

Yeah that's what I've been thinking since news came out. Surprised it hasn't been picked up on more from what I've heard/read about it all. Night out, and stealing a taxi, there's got to be alcohol involved for anyone to think that's a sensible decision. Clearly fucking idiots either way, surprised to hear that Barry and Evans are involved. They've been around far too long to be getting caught up in antics like this, and have always seemed decent enough pros. Wonders what a couple of months under Pardew will do to a man.

SEMTEX Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I mean, crime of the century, no, but theft of a vehicle tends to be a little more harshly punished than having a few beers and then driving.... Never mind the combination of the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
