This doesn’t turn him into a wrong un. Hope he is ok/doesn’t feel too ashamed and also hope, not that it really makes much difference, that he just misjudged and had a drink more than he should/or later than he should, rather than being absolutely bladdered/a risk to himself and others. Specially if his pregnant lass was in the car. Hope he doesn't feel too ashamed??? And why should anyone care whether he is ok?? It's his own stupid fault. It's abundantly clear you have never lost a loved one to someone who was over the limit. Edited January 12, 2023 by worman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonesJones Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Worst case scenario team wise, one of the players has had a family or friend involved in a drink driving incident. Christ that would be shite! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I have a feeling he'll get a good dressing down by a fair few our players too, not just Howe. Trippier & Lascelles especially. Could imagine a few more. Should hopefully be a tail between the legs moment for him in the lockeroom, on top of whatever official punishment he should receive.

LiquidAK Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Ah man, that's really disappointing. Especially because outside of this he's always seemed absolutely sound. Glad no-one was hurt and hope he learns from this. The club's whole policy of signing good guys is important - so for me there does need to be a bit of a statement that this isn't acceptable behaviour even if it might hurt our chances of a result against Fulham. Fine him, drop for the next match, and then back in the team imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 30 minutes ago, Shadow Puppets said: 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. 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...
