Renton 17580 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 2 hours ago, Gemmill said: I hope he selects Miggy as his legal representation. Mig in a wig. Extremely disappointing. I do think the circumstances are relevant, as there is a difference in my mind to driving pissed out of your head rather than be just over the limit the next day thinking you're sobre, which if we're honest, a lot of us might have done before without even knowing (pretty sure I have in the past before I read up about the risk). Not excusing him though, just saying its not completely binary. Is it usual for a club to apply a playing ban for this type of stuff though? I don't understand the logic of that. The courts will determine the extent of his fine and ban, and by all means we should penalise him financially on top of that, and maybe put him on some awareness courses. But he doesn't drive for a living so I don't get the logic of stopping him playing personally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17580 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 And if the mackems have the nerve to say anything about him playing while this is ongoing, a gentle reminder what tehy did with the paedophile Johnson is in order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 3583 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Very disappointing, especially as he seems a model pro. Hope there is not too much drinking going on, though doesn't seem to be affecting his fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8946 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Aye, Eddie's shown a hunger for glory and he's not going to let a silly little thing like morals stop him getting that sweet sweet competition bonus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's down to the person running the team. Howe is all about creating a unit - there's no way I can see him metering a punishment that will be shared by the rest of the team and its supporters. He'll impose a punishment that impacts Joelinton, and Joelinton alone. It'll be a fine and community service, but I can't see him dropping him. Other managers who are hell bent on making it clear they're in charge would do so, but that isn't Howe's style at all.

OTF 6129 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'm enjoying reading everyone's expert opinions on this with the scarcity of facts out there. At the moment I think I'm Camp Craig. Eddie will deal with it internally and won't engage in over the top posturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that but TP is right too. Punishment should fit the crime. It’s fucking stupid but relatively minor due to being just over. The magistrates will act accordingly, ie 12 month ban and fine. I.e. the minimum sanction. Although I think the fine takes into account earnings (which is fair enough). I think he’ll be sanctioned by the club, as he should, but also in line with the seriousness of it, so Howe won’t throw the book at him but will fine him and warn him about his future conduct Edited January 13, 2023 by Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19724 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 yeah, a lot will hinge on how over the limit he was. like renton said, most of us will have at some point driven unwittingly slightly over the limit. there's a big difference between that and driving home after 5 pints or a bottle of wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
