Heard that Huddlestone would have been in the car but they got fed up  waiting for him and drove off.

I heard he was still trying to turn, not sure if he was in a car or walking at this point

He is intelligent, at least more intelligent than most of the squad- but Davies in that situation would have I imagined told the players not to be so stupid and just get a taxi instead

Are we 100% sure that Curtis Davies wasn't involved?

I think it’s fair to assume that he’d have been mentioned by now if he was with him being the former captain

Your deviating from the original point, the post was that anyone who thinks TL brings anything to the team knows nothing about football. You then mention that managers only pick him based upon his “potential” and that’s because they are only here for a season. I brought wales into the equation, because that’s another manager who rates him enough to play him on a regular basis.

If I was him, id quite happily take the sack, move on and get away from the constant abuse he has taken throughout his time at Derby, criticism fair enough, but for some reason he gets more than his fair share for reasons unknown to me.

Because he a 1 good game in gods no’s how many games,everybody can see that,it’s not just made up to pick on him is it.

Not directly, but every club and every company has a culture, and that usually comes from the top. I'm not suggesting Mel was out there buying everyone Jaegarbombs, but C-levels and management have to be held accountable for the atmosphere of the their workplace.

What culture though? Some players went out the night before their day off after a meal. Hardly the Arsenal Tuesday Club is it?

Well not everybody agrees with you, so yes, yes it is made up to pick on him.

Richard Keogh put himself out for the rest of the season. He doesn't get away with blaming others here.

Bet they wish they’d taken the conga.

Mason Bennett at the wheel,

Keogh how does your knee feel?

Lawrence wrapped around a lamppost,

Whatever happened to Efe Ambrose?

Tommy Lawrence went to Joiners in his Range Rover

He and Mason had a crash, now Keogh's season's over

If that’s the case then why is he a regular on the team sheet ?

Jesus, they aren’t kids. They are adults that should be able to be trusted. 

Would you like to put shackles on them too

They have been proven to act like kids, so should be treated as such

Well he'll have to move to somewhere with a good bus service

I have never seen Keogh as a captain and it is no good just saying he isn't intelligent. He is the captain, during the season he has to lead by example, what if his antics had dragged a younger player into this such as Knight? A player looking to fit in?

I have always seen Derby as a community club, one for families. Keogh is the representative of that, at a club social event he still has to hold the example, particularly if out in public. 

If they held the club or fans in any regard, they would have not found themselves in this mess.

Mel, Cocu, their team mates must be absolutely furious. We can cope without Lawrence and Bennett but Keogh is a huge loss as a player. All should know better, these are supposedly professional athletes, there is nothing professional about this. No excuses and I can't believe anyone could try to slightly justify it based on age or intelligence. But there is no point us arguing about it.

The best thing to do is just get behind Cocu, support the players who get picked because the manager and those sensible players need all the support we can give.

The language the club is using doesn't fill me with confidence that any real disciplinary action will be taken. 'Skipper' Keogh is 'sidelined' apparently. That implies injury on the field. He was injured because he got in a car with a drunk driver.

And screw talk of rehabilitation. There's no reason any of them should pull on the shirt again, but I'll bet they get a stern lecture and nothing more.

The langauge at this point means nothing - they will be subject to disciplinary proceedings which will determine the appropriate punishment - it's way too early for ther club to say anything else....

No not at all. I might have even dreamt it or it could have been a meme...guessing probably the latter if no one mentioning it

[Chester40]

Bit gob-smacked at the sheer stupidity and idiotic recklessness of the players.

Not one for a knee jerk reaction. But as more and more comes out...Jesus Christ....this is mind-bogglingly ridiculous behaviour.

Feel sorry for cocu..they obviously didn’t even think of the consiquences,which to me is a big two fingers up to cocu.

Really? What about the club, the fans? This is nothing to do with Cocu. They were club nights like this when Lampard was in charge.

You can't tar every player with the same brush though.
