Jimburst Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 In Scotland there's no lower limit. You just can't drink and drive AIFIK. Seems very sensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid thing to do but he's human and will learn from it. Christ. 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.

No, but it's a resource for the highly paid, highly important player to the club to get home safely and stay out of bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 ‘Kin hell. It’s all a bit reactionary in here. He is a young fallible man. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 1) I'm glad nobody is hurt, it appears. 2) Some absolute saints on this forum, you lot are the best humans ever! 3) bad decision by Joelinton, hopefully he will learn from this and not repeat it and be properly punished as the law deems and the club too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems absolutely feasible for someone like that to have a person they can pay £200 to who basically just follows them like a little lapdog for 4 hours on a night out. Get your drinks, drive you home, lie to the missus, the standard 'reliable mate' stuff, but in a nice paid slavey kind of way. You don't even have to call a taxi and talk to the BLOKE behind the wheel. Your little errand boy is already sat in your lambo waiting at the door, revving it to make you look nails, but he's sober. Job done. But it's obviously this isn't commonplace for some reason. Might be a (very limited) business opportunity for someone here. They do have player liaisons to do basically anything they need. So yeah, this is on his shoulders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempiternal Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 By every measurable metric they wouldn't be “fine” though. It doesn’t mean he’s a POS, but he’s rich enough to not even encounter these issues. There is also the broader point of drinking mid week, in the middle of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
