Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Thanks for the clarification. I know for my own incident the 40mg thing was in effect, but that was more than 20 years ago. As I no longer drive, out of choice, had no idea whether that had changed or not.

Not changed mate. Still in play as the legislation is solid and there s been no changes to alcohol limits. 35 is the legal max, but there's 5mg 'top up' so at court, there's really no excuses.

No-one will even remember this in a year's time anyway.

Pablo.

Escobar?

Reading through most of the various topics on SC is like reading a trade paper.

Agreed, I'd be seriously surprised too. I'd like to think he genuinely thought he was under the limit.

The thing is (and I’ve read your posts in this thread so agree with you totally) if I think I’m going to be drinking at all when I go out I get a taxi and don’t drive. That all he had to do. It’s not difficult and for a person in his position to do it it’s lazy, arrogant, stupid and unprofessional.

But, it will be forgotten by fans in a year’s time. All we can hope is that it’s not forgotten by him.

The insurance company will.

As for a ban I reckon ..

Public figure = 18 months and a large amount of wages related fine I reckon.

The shame he will suffer and the knowledge of what he has done will haunt him for a long time.

Fortunately nobody got hurt or killed because of his actions, obviously assuming it is confirmed as
him being guilty. Everyone got to walk away from this one one, lessons will have hopefully been learned and
others deterred from making the same mistake

I don't think a zero limit makes sense. At that point you can be criminalising people who've drunk more than 48 hours ago, or haven't drunk at all but taken medication, used a mouthwash, or eaten certain foods (e.g. a bolognese) with trace amounts of alcohol. Road safety campaigns generally argue for a 20mg limit (compared to 80mg in England and Wales right now), which avoids this but means even a single half-pint that day is likely to put you over the limit, and I'd certainly go along with that.

I work for a company that has an alcohol and drugs policy, it's my duty to both obey it and brief it out. The human body's bloodstream, even in a non drinker can naturally contain the equivalent of 1/2 pint of beer (and we're talking beer in old money when it used to be about 3.5% rather than the 4 to 5% stuff usually sold nowadays), this is where the argument for 20mg rather than 0mg comes into play.

I've seen some incredible generalisations/ignorance in this thread, blood is not routinely taken at police stations, it's a last option, some people would seem to believe otherwise. It seems to me the people displaying the most ignorance throughout this thread are those who seem to have the biggest sticks up their arse. I love the way the internet has given a voice to those with a self righteous, draconian view of any given situation-they just used to be the boring bloke at the end of the bar in years gone past. (Not a single word of criticism is aimed at you, I'm just responding to your post having read the whole thread).

Hugo Lloris must also have lots of personal friends in this thread judging by the "he's the last bloke I would have expected at the club to get done for this" type threads, if they all know him that well or have such a personal insight into what type of person he is you'd think they'd have come up with a decent bit of ITK during the window.

Nothing I've said defends Lloris, he should have got a cab, I'm just commenting on the thread.

Levy might react stronger than Pochettino to this, it's not good PR and timing is bad as well with everything else that goes on these days. Have to factor that we've just recently signed a commercial deal with Audi, they do not want to be connected to drunk driving - just imagine if Levy is in talks with them for the stadium name.

 

[Navin R Johnson]

I read they held him for 7 hours, they don't do that for a giggle.

In my experience erm, a mate's experience they don't usually release you until they consider you're soberish.

I meant in the public sense. But I agree with you.

You are kept until a medical professional seems you 'fit enough to be charged'. In other words, it leaves no play from piss heads to say they were too smashed to understand what was going on!

Our Captain made a mistake. He still our Captain. He still Hugo

Luckily nobody was hurt.

 

[degoose]

They would if you were an HGV driver for Eddie Stobart!

But he isn't so great comparison there

Not in my experience. If I remember correctly you're a copper so I'd expect you to know more about it than me but my experience at Dunstable nick many moons ago suggests otherwise.

 

[nailsy]

I never understood anyone who will only have just the one drink... like whats the point of that? Maybe for another thread etc but like WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Because two can put you over the limit.

 

[Tottenham_God]

Alcohol is such a boring drug. Silly man. Hope Vorms ready

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Many moons suggests perhaps the whole custody management side of things changed since then. It's what should happen, at least nowadays.

In no way should any spurs supporter defend Hugo. We’ve spent the past few years singing ‘Marcos Alonso, he murdered a girl’ so I can’t see how Hugo can be defended as we’d be hypocrites. Hugo was just lucky that no one was hurt, thankfully. I hope he learns from this. In my opinion, give the armband to Harry or drop him for the Man Utd game. It’s the least sort of punishment he can get, and deservedly.

So can one.
