Fuck sake people :lol: defending him, the old 'aww hope he's OK/ not too down' bullshit. He put people's lives at risk !

 

Hope he gets properly punished and isn't allowed to drive for a long time.

 

Not defending him at all, as drink driving is shitty behaviour, but we don't know that he put lives at risk.

What happens if he had killed someone as a direct result, after losing a close friend due to this scenario, I actually find your comment misinformed and stupid. 

 

 

 

Same, my auntie got hit by a drink driver - didn’t kill her but you can tell by my comments I have zero tolerance for it.

Can’t help but feel people will forgive and forget in about 24 hours like. Not buying into the narrative that other than a slap on the wrist, fine etc, it’s going to cause any effect whatsoever on our season. Howe will handle it well and all will be forgotten in a day or two.

 

He’s stupid for doing it, absolutely, but as has been said multiple times in this thread, for all we know he wasn’t even slightly impaired. I have family members who can easily have 6 pints and not be effected visibly at all, so if he’s had a couple of glasses of wine and is for all intents and purposes fine, then it seems silly to paint him with the same brush as someone who genuinely endangered people. Obviously these are details we don’t know so it’s pointless really speculating.

 

You can appear 'fine' but your reaction times could still easily be effected. It's that type of logic that drink drivers use as an excuse to get behind the wheel. There's obviously a scale but to say people who drink after a few glasses of wine aren't genuinely endangering people is really daft.

Ordem e Prosecco ??


Alongside the Zouma cat kicking comment and this, I’m in stitches.

 

Bad decision by big Joe and hopefully it will be dealt with properly and he’ll learn from it

I don’t think anyone is defending him to be honest, most saying he’s a dickhead for his mistake.  Just some are more forgiving than others.

Checks player status. Ahh we really like him.

 

Hard lines Joelinton lad, chin up fella and we hope you aren’t feeling too down and ashamed.

He could have though got fuck all to do with if he did or didn't. 

 

Hypothetically, he could have had half a glass of wine too many an hour before and driven a very short distance at a low speed.

 

I doubt that of course, but we don't know the facts here. Before I get straw maned, I'm not condoning it in any, way shape or form, I'm merely pointing out we don't know the seriousness of his actions.

He was over the limit whether it's half  a glass or not has fuck all to do with it. I honestly hope you don't have to lose someone close to you to realise this.

Well, here's Maxi's chance to get back in the side.


How do you say in French, “it’s just a coke, Joe. Drink up!” I knew there was a story within this story.

I know, my post makes pretty clear that I'm not condoning his behaviour.

Unless he’s broken club rules he can’t be getting disciplined by the club. The club should guide him and perhaps get him to do a bit for the Newcastle Foundation.

 

Let the Court deliver the legal punishment and learn from it. 
 

As for booing him, give your head a shake, he’s human, he’s made a really stupid decision.

You seriously saying the law is too blame for joelington breaking a law that existed well before he did it?

 

To quote jack white - you can’t take the effect and make it the cause

That’s absolutely not what I’m saying, no. 
 

if you read the rest of the thread then you will see it was a reply to a conversation that has nothing to do with Joelinton.

I’m pretty sure that a court appearance will come under bringing the club into disrepute, which I’m also pretty sure will be deemed a disciplinary ’offence’ by the club.
