Aiston Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Fuck sake people defending him, the old 'aww hope he's OK/ not too down' bullshit. He put people's lives at risk !

Not defending him at all, as drink driving is shitty behaviour, but we don't know that he put lives at risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worman Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 One of the conditions of being convicted of drink driving is that you should be made to meet families of people who have been killed by those over the limit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Miercoles Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Does the premier league / FA have any rules about this for suspensions? In the NFL they have a whole crime & punishment schedule covering everything from DUIs to murdering your spouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 He was an idiot for doing it and he will be fined. Can’t see him being dropped though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

James Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Would generally support football introducing 6 month bans for drink driving, shouldn’t be up to clubs as we all know discipline is applied inconsistently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
