Apologies to all of you who have already posted on the other thread. Given the amount of misinformation based on various rumours on that one it had to go.

He should be stripped of the captaincy for that.

**Gus** · 08-02-2010 03:34 PM

Baffles me....be on good money for his age &

1. Doesn't have a licence
2. Driving without insurance -

Why? It's not as if he was driving a teammate's car, or pumping his horn.

Ok I'll re-post this....

Before passing comment/judgement perhaps consider this...

How many have assumed that if you have comprehensive insurance that anyone can drive your car?

Well they cant - not without first informing your insurance company.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows this.....I'm also pretty sure that everyone knows that someone without a license should not be driving any car....

I have to hold my hand up and say that I was not one of those who assumed that.

While it's definitely better than the rumour that was doing the rounds earlier on, it is still stupidity of a high order. The guy seems to have a problem making bad choices...

On the contrary Scott, he seems to have a problem making good choices

Yep, Darren really needs to get to screw the nut.

OK well I'll hold up my hand and my mates. Luckily I called my insurance company to check first.

Both in our 30s at the time. So not exactly daft laddies.

Re. McCormack My oversight - without a license tho' - bit dim of the lad.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 08-02-2010 03:51 PM

I dont think the lad has much of a future at easter road. He does not look to me as someone who is getting any better. And again imho he needs games to do this. Perhaps a loan deal somewhere would help him, but at this moment in time, he's not good enough, and might need to move to get regular games? Making his headlines on the front pages of the paper, instead of the back wont help him either.

***KeithTheHibby*** · 08-02-2010 04:01 PM

I get the impression this guy is keen to press the self-destruct button on and off the park...

If there is a manager that can get the best out of him it would be Yogi.

You are asking people not to be too hasty in passing judgement/comment but what makes you think that the reference to 'insurance' is simply a wrong assumption/misunderstanding on McCormack and another party's behalf? Perhaps you may have more details about the incident than others. It might well however be a straightforward criminal offence of driving without any insurance at all.

No - I was too quick to pass comment

overlooked the no license bit. - DOH!

That's exactly what I was thinking J.

Silly laddie.

No licence, no insurance. So if he hits you in your brand-new car, writes it off and puts you in hospital - it's on YOUR insurance. Guess what happens to your no-claims?

There's obviously some sort of problem with this young man, and at 21 he's at the age where if he doesn't get himself sorted out soon, he'll maybe not get it sorted out at all.

Hibs depend on attracting young players - guys in their mid-teens - and developing them to the point where they can take a place in the first team. Darren should be one of those breaking through NOW. Hibs (and Yogi) have a choice - do they persevere farther with him, hoping he'll buckle down soon, or d they make him an example t the others by punting him? He's good enough, IMO, but is he too much trouble?

***Pedantic_Hibee*** · 08-02-2010 04:37 PM

He's becoming a bad egg that laddie, I've heard a few snippets about him before that haven't made the paper.

If anyone can get him to knuckle down it's Yogi. As Doddie says though, will Yogi give him the chance to repent?

His one saving grace is sparking out Clum.

There's also the issue of wanting to appear attractive to these kids parents, when considering which club their kid should go for, having the papers filled with tales of misbehaving Hibs players can't help.

At the least the club needs to be seen to be tough on discipline.

On top of his problem with the law is the question of who's car he was driving - I'm sure it is an offense to allow someone without a license (and hence insurance) to drive your car - hope no other Hibs player is involved

**northern-hibee** · 08-02-2010 04:43 PM

neither driving without a licence nor driving without insurance are normally arrestable offences and certainly not ones that one would normally be released on undertaking to appear. Perhaps more of this story to come?

**Ireallywasthere** · 08-02-2010 04:53 PM

There is no more to the story than that. There was more initailly but that was resolved and he has been charged with driving with no insurance and no licence

Spot on, sounds like he has had a drink after all.

On the street people lose their jobs for this, he's no different. Needs to be punted.
