Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[Navin R Johnson]

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

Without a doubt, I was invited into a side room for a spanking if I didn't shut my mouth when complaining about a mate's wrongful arrest and DD charge at Dunstable (he genuinely wasn't the driver but still got a 12 month ban, he was a gobby twat but not driving the vehicle he was a passenger in, I guess he was due). What was deemed acceptable in the eighties doesn't go on nowadays I'd hazard.

There was so much ducking, diving and lying between the police and witnesses it's a whole other conversation on it's own.

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.

Have many spurs fans sung that? Found that song highly distasteful personally

 

[Guntz]

Should be stripped of the captaincy and given to Jan.

Everyone makes mistakes, but you're one of the figureheads of the club and need to set a good example.

 

[DannyNZ]

But neither of you answered the question? What’s the difference between someone on the limit and someone 0.01 over because there certainly won’t be a cognitive difference, so what are we punishing? Not to mention the fact alcohol affects everyone differently. That’s undoubtably a grey area.

I agree with others the limit should be 0 and then be taken on a case by case basis as to whether there should be further punishment I.e if the drink was yesterday and trace amounts were left over

Blindingly obvious, one is breaking the law and the other isn’t. There is no grey area.

 

[DannyNZ]

Correct, I really hope it's not the core of his defense.

Agree it would be unlikely to be fruitful.

Getting behind the wheel of a car after a drink is an elective action. It can be avoided by simply not doing it. To do it begins to create a danger.

An former colleague of mine lost his wife and daughter to a drink driver and that guy wasn’t massively over the limit.

I’m getting tired of this apologist nonsense. He is a public figure, an idol to youngsters and a highly paid professional athlete whose physical health is important. It is also a risk to get behind the wheel over the last limit. At least two machines independent of each other have shown scientifically that he was over the limit. That means he was irresponsible as an employee, a public figure and as a member of the general public.

Do you know that next to guns drink driving is one of the highest causes of death in America ?

If you’re behind the wheel and over the limit not only are you a criminal, you’re flat out risking lives. It’s utterly farcical that people are being called holier than thou for caring about the lives of innocent people. In fact, it’s despicable.

I wholly agree with your sentiment - but this statement is utter, utter bollocks. I just don’t want anyone to get the impression that this is even anywhere near being slightly true - it’s bullshit of the highest order. You don’t need outright lies to support your position.

Otherwise I completely agree with your sentiments.

 

[fortworthspur]

oh Hugo. you're loaded - call a cab. Im disappointed but we all fuck up once in a while. he has always been a perfect gentleman with his head on right - I believe he is very ashamed and will learn from it. but fuck.

Heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer's, strokes, cancer - all the stuff going on in my life and my contemporaries.
RTA's dd related or otherwise ain't even in the top twenty.

He only lives up the road from the West End, somewhere up Highgate etc near the Lycee

The laydeez of the night around Kings X are a rough old skanky bunch. Zut Alors

TBF, before age 40 motor vehicle accidents are behind only "poisonings" (I assume drug OD) and suicide as a cause of death in the US, and half of those are associated with alcohol. Homicides are actually 5th. But yes, if you take everybody into account MVAs dont even make the top 15. In any case, drunk driving is a HUGE problem here because our public transport is crap.

 

[mano-obe]

Silly boy I'm sure he regrets it. With all the money footballers earn just gets a cab or private driver

 

[Flashspur]

He’s been a naughty boy but he will learn from the experience

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

"A naughty boy" is someone that says something silly on Twitter. What Hugo did was fucking stupid.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

As hugely distressing as this is, and as much of an idiot as Hugo is for having done this, luckily nobody was hurt or killed (Alonso) and no damage was done (Tony Adams). When he’s tried on 11.9.2018 and sentenced, his sentence will be reduced due to his very obvious good character to date, amongst other factors (early guilty plea, remorse, etc). That is where he will be judged and dealt with, then that will be the end of it from a legal perspective and as such, it should be for all of us,

If we supported King after he went on a racist tirade against a bouncer, celebrated Woodgate’s goal v Chelsea and still love Van der Vaart after slapping his wife around, not to mention Gazza after two decades of atrocities, then Hugo, who to date has never put a foot wrong, is entitled to have his case dealt with privately (as we all would be were it any of us) and to be given a second chance by us.

Someone can do a bad, even a terrible thing and still be a good person. I am sure I applied to many of us in here. Life isn’t black and white. The important thing is to learn and improve, and I hope Hugo will. The person who will suffer most because of this will be Hugo, who probably should play v Man Utd, not because of a punishment, but because until after his case he is going to be riddled with anxiety and his ability to perform will be impaired.

 

[spursfan77]

I wonder if he’s already in at the training ground today cleaning the bogs. On top of the stupidity I bet Poch isn’t happy if he went out and they had training yesterday (I’m assumkng they did).

 

[iddebu52]

Hope the Lloris debacle has not taken the concentration of the players from the MNF match. so stupid of him! Hope he does'nt loose the respect of his fellow players. I believe Poch will drop him for the Monday game. Pity but.....

I agree. I think that all most of us were saying was that there shouldn't be any attempt to mitigate what he has been charged with doing.

Because two can put you over the limit.

One drink can also send you over the limit.

What I mean is what affect does one drink have on you? If no affect then what is the point? and if it does have an affect then you shouldnt drive after one

I see so many people have half a pint, or one bottle etc and im there just thinking what? I love Uber and use it everywhere.
