Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[mark87]

Being out with Giroud and koscielny is enough to have the captaincy stripped from him anyway

 

[dagraham]

What does 0.08 equate to in terms of how many drinks any given person can have?

The limit imo should ensure that it’s no drinks, but as it stands with the current limit I’ve always gone by the rule of one drink ( whether a pint or a glass of wine - although usually if driving I won’t have anything at all).

Which is why I don’t buy this “miscalculated” thing. Unless of course people are unable to comprehend the difference between the numbers one and two. I’m which case they probably shouldn’t be trusted to get in a car in the first place.

 

[fecka]

No it's not. The facts will come out and law will take it's course. He will receive the punishment his actions merit under the law of the land the same as anyone else and after that has taken place he will have paid his debt to society. This is how it works and in my opinion is a better system than hysterical hyperbolic keyboard warriors organising lynch mobs from their fainting couches.

Having lost a family member to drinking and driving, I will not forgive someone caught doing it and if that makes me a hysterical hyperbolic keyboard warrior then so be it. I don't mind in the least.

 

[Makkaveli101]

Here we go again. I'm confused why people think committing a public crime has anything to do with his private life?

I'm confused why know-it-alls seem to think they hold all the cards when there has been no conviction or details about the incident yet.

 

[Saoirse]

Whilst I obviously don’t condone his actions, seeing Chelsea fans having the pure AUDACITY to say anything about it is really fucking me off.

They literally have a murderer in their team who killed a young girl by drink driving.

I know you can’t judge a fan base based on a small sample of them but i’ve only ever come across Chelsea fans who are either thick, racist or both.

Agreed, but we have to acknowledge that the difference between what he did and what Alonso did was luck. In another world Alonso is caught in time and arrested, while Hugo isn't pulled over, crashes and kills a kid.

 

[sam1972]

Nonsense. This isn't a case of the public prying into his private life. The idiot commited a crime and rightfully will get punished. Drink driving is a serious crime, if many of us did it we could lose our jobs. Don't underplay the severity of it because you don't care.

I should get punished, I’ve not once said he shouldn’t. But why should I care what he’s like or does off a football pitch.
Fun fact.
I worked for the uks biggest employer for years. In that time there have been many drivers been caught drink driving and have been moved roles. In the last month someone was arrested for drug dealing and still kept there job. People don’t lose their jobs over this.

Quite a few details out there actually

 

[Makkaveli101]

Uhm, no. An employer is perfectly entitled to take action against someone who's committed a criminal offence, compromised their performance, and put them into disrepute.

But they don't. You don't sack off a great employee who is good at his job because he made one mistake outside of his job.

 

[Makkaveli101]

Quite a few details out there actually

From the reputable fact based organisations that are social media?

 

[fecka]

I'm not sure about the procedures in the UK but they don't charge you here in Sweden unless it's been verified by both a blood test and breathalizer that you are over the limit.

What's the procedure in the UK? Only breathalizer?

 

[fecka]

But they don't. You don't sack off a great employee who is good at his job because he made one mistake outside of his job.

They do if it damages the companys image. There are plenty of examples.

Breathalyser then blood test at the Police station. If you fail the breathalyser but pass the blood test, you're free to go. He must've failed both.

Nope, roadside breathalyser, then further tests at the police station - they can do a more accurate breath test, a blood sample and/or a urine sample as necessary. I think general procedure is that they do the second breath test, and if it's a very clear-cut case they stop there, but if it's marginal (either only just over the limit, or near a boundary where the standard punishment increases) they'll move on to the others as well.

 

[sam1972]

No mate, that's exactly what you are doing by saying that reactions condemning the act of drinking and driving is over the top.

I’m sure I know what I’m condemning.

 

[dagraham]

2 glasses of wine (About half a bottle) don't get you over the limit in the UK if you're a fully grown adult male.

What?! It’s deemed ok to drive after drinking half a bottle of wine? In that case this country is fucked up and just proves is run and populated by functioning alcoholics.

I’m not a big drinker by any means, but although I wouldn’t be pissed or stumbling about after half a bottle of wine there is no fucking way I should be driving a car.

Its the same.

 

[fecka]

I’m sure I know what I’m condemning.

I'm sure you do. It's obvious what your attitude regarding drinking and driving is.

 

[Flashp]

Breathalyser then blood test at the Police station. If you fail the breathalyser but pass the blood test, you're free to go. He must've failed both.

The blood test is just taken and sent to analysis though, so it'll be a while before the results are revealed. In theory you can fail the breathalyser test, but in the time it takes to get to the station to have the blood test, you can have burned enough alcohol to be below the limit.

I knew there would be Gooners involved.

What do you mean?

Just read up, sackable offence now surely?
