Lawrence and Bennett Convicted of drink driving

[ramjit]

Sky sport reporting they could be in contention to play against Barnsley..surely not..

[Coneheadjohn]

Yeah SSN saying in training and in contention.

Makes sense that they’re training,I’m calling BS on any chance of being involved.

Surely Bizzle is still pissed?

duck them. The team did a great job against Brum, why on earth would we consider putting the bad eggs back in? Keep them in the reserves and sell them in January. I'll be disgusted with Cocu if he picks either of them.

They’ve been ducking idiots but they aren’t intrinsically evil. 

Unless you then say that they’re bad eggs for drinking midweek, to which the counter-argument would be that four other drinkers started, one getting a goal, an assist and MOTM…

It could mean prison if they were found to be racing.

It might be argued that Keogh's injury was caused by dangerous driving, could spell big problems.

Depends what can and can't be proved. At the moment, all we know officially is that Bennett and Lawrence were charged with drink-driving, and Keogh was injured as a result of the crash. Anything else at the moment is rumour.

If they play, I don't think they'll get a great reception from either set of fans.

Court case needs to come first IMO.

Worth mentioning Steve Nicholson over at the DET has said they trained last week too but they probably will not be involved in the matchday squad on Wednesday.

Got to have a good laugh at all the angels on here who have never done anything wrong in their lives ?

My thoughts exactly!

[EnigmaRam]

Personally I would just transfer list them and try and move them on in Jan. just so everyone can put it behind them and move on including themselves.

poo happens and we've all done silly things at times but when your in the public domain and can afford a taxi home then there’s no excuse really.

[RadioactiveWaste]

I strongly suspect they'll be taking part in training but not selected until court matters have been decided.

Even if the club are looking to move them on in Jan, if they're fit and have been training it's an slightly easier sell.

 

[MuespachRam]

I wouldn’t have them anywhere near the squad for the Barnsley game, nothing to do with what happened the other night, just because they are both poo.

That's a very condescending comment, there's a whole world of difference between doing something wrong a driving at night completely drunk, with the potential to injure or kill.

But I suppose you just want a clever comment

They are bad eggs by electing to drive when over the limit ,when theres was transport laid on to take them home

The transport was arranged for 8, they decided to stay after the arranged transport left 

[Hathersage Ram]

Me personally I would like us to move them on as soon as practical, even if that means taking a financial hit on transfer price.

I'm not impressed that other players were out drinking heavily, but one assumes either they had club transport or taxi's home etc, although I have no knowledge either way on this.

I think the club should act (once court case has happened) with great speed and offer them for transfer in the January window to agents/clubs etc

I am not too sure either will be overly missed.

[TomBustler1884]

I would think they wont feature at all in either game this week. Then the court case is during the international break.

See where we are after that.

Let he who hasn't ever got pissed up on a night out, got in the car, put his mate in the back and driven home, had a shunt into another pissed up mate and seriously injured his mate, cast the first stone eh?

[SIWY]

I think that having them involved in training is probably the right decision, but not sure if they should be in contention to face Barnsley with their court cases coming up.

I never said they're intrinsically evil. But they're bad news, they bring a bad vibe to the club, and they'll make the atmosphere poisonous around games. I will personally boo them if they ever represent us again.

[Steve How Hard?]

I'm not part of the lynch mob that wants Lawrence and Bennett hung, drawn and quartered but there are a multitude of reasons why having them in tomorrow nights squad would be a bad idea. My opinion FWIW is that Sky have got their Guessometer out again. The same one they used when predicting the timeline for Lampard leaving.
