Drink driving

[Just_Jimmy]

Three times over the limit.

Total prick.

Might seem strong but nah, it's selfish as it comes.

Banned for a year for drink driving.

What a daftie! Luckily, doesn’t seem like any one was hurt.

Good statement from Hibs - except for the use of upmost!

The first sentence doesn't make sense either

[hibsbollah]

The first three sentences look like they’re written by someone who doesn’t have English as a first language. It’s just weird.

It’s something I’d expect from Budge.

[Nicho87]

Hibs player or hearts player it’s nothing related to football

One of the most selfish acts is drink driving

Should never be allowed behind the wheel of a car again. IMO

There is such a thing as rehabilitation you know?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

What is it with some people / football players?

How many Hibs players in the last 10 years - there’s been a few.

players have a choice but if they Choose to be athletes then getting hammered during the season is at odds with that no?

Was he “hammered” then?

Drink driving is clearly unnacceptable behaviour.

Getting "hammered" during the season? Don't neccessarily have a problem with it every now and again. Some players can handle it and as long as a player keeps performing well then it doesnt have to be a major issue.

Half the Hibs team was out getting "hammered" in the midweek before we humped Hearts 6-2, our biggest home derby win in decades. Some good team building that night contributing to the performance on the Sunday.

Saw a current player knocking them back in an Edinburgh bar the Saturday before our LC Q final win at Tannadice this season. He was tremendous up at Tannadice.

Players don't have to be robots.

3x the drink drive limit isn’t ‘hammered’ either (it’s not right either btw before anyone says) - but the DD laws here are next to nothing, a lot lower than England for example. He’d probably had 3/4 pints and then jumped in the motor.

Also - it’s not just footballers, it’s society as a whole. Thousands every year get done with DD and it’s wrong. The punishment should be harsher for me. 9 months licence loss isn’t enough IMO, should be a few years.

Doubtful he was hammered after 3 or 4 pints

[Zambernardi1875]

Don’t understand players who drink during the season

Agreed. It's ridiculous to put that crap in your body when you need to be at peak fitness. Top level athletes don't do that crap

[CentreLine]

4 units of alcohol in two pints of beer. Generally speaking it takes one hour for the body to process one unit of alcohol.
These days that is more than double our drink drive limit whereas it was unlikely to have you over the limit in the past, depending on factors like body mass, what you’d eaten and so on. Unlikely he had more than two and a half to three pints to be 3x the limit. It’s wrong but is also wrong for anyone to suggest he was hammered.

The fact he was driving slow rather than driving normally suggests to me he had consumed more.

Yes it’s possible but the reported level he was found to have in his system suggests not much more if at all. The guy is utterly wrong to have been behind the wheel but in no way was he hammered. He could have been drinking a lot more but over a number of hours. That would allow some of the alcohol in his system to have been processed out by his body. There is not enough information in the reports to allow us to make a judgement call on that.

I'm annoyed at our player being on the sauce during the season in the first place. It's not the 90's anymore.

It tells me he knows he shouldn’t have been driving so (in a daft way) was trying to avoid being pulled over by driving slow rather than fast. My thinking is ‘I’ll only get pulled for speeding’ - but his slow driving worked against him and that also got him pulled.

Agreed. But football players have a huge amount of down time and there are no end of stories of how that is too often filled with “social activities”.

Bottom line is it has been dealt with by the court and by the club. If Joe Newell has take that on board then the matter is closed

[lyonhibs]

Silly selfish ********. At least he only harmed himself on this occasion, but I have absolutely no time for drink driving at all.

[Iggy Pope]

The police dealt with it, the courts have dealt with it, his employers have dealt with it.
I’m sure he feels like **** enough without his habitat, tendencies, athleticism and behaviour being debated publicly by the experts on our chat group.

It's not his job to decide what can and cannot be debated on here. One of our players made the papers for commiting a serious offence. Of course its going to be talked about on here. He's rightfully getting a bit of stick, hell be getting worse off of those around him. I still think he's a great player.
