I don’t give a rat’s about the charges  the courts will look after that but... bolting and leaving injured teammates! How do you show your face in the change rooms after that.

We don't know what happened at that point so difficult to speculate - I've seen no indication that the '4th person' was injured in the incident - It's perfectly possible he was left to look after Keogh while the others went for help? Lawrence walking to the garage to ring the emergency services, Bennett back to Lawrence's gaff to get first aid stuff? We don't know the details of the incident well enough to judge one way or the other

@David or other mods please feel free to delete if this is too speculative - I don't think anyone on here thinks my random blathering is worth spreading anywhere else

As daft as it may sound, but maybe the teammates he left were fully aware that TL went to a garage to get help. I would guess they were both as keen as the players driving were, to try to keep this under wraps.

Only guessing of course. 

Are there many garages open at midnight?

Exactly my thoughts as well.

I do care about the charges etc, I'd like to see them get punished and not slap on wrist stuff. But yes, there's something very unsettling about that character wise. If it'd just been them pair, alright, not good, but leaving injured passengers....

apparently the average is to lose 1 unit per hour.  Being sick probably reduced MB's level pssibly

but these are elite athletes whose bodies are at an optimal metabolic rate,

I dont know whether this means they reduce the level quicker or it would show a worse reading like for like with a normal person

probs took him 45 mins to run to the shell garage up the hill!!!

 

to be honest if he got out ran to the garage to get help then thats not as bad as ducking off to sober up!

 

 

Pretty sure if a drunk Derby player had walked into that garage and got help it would have been reported or released earlier

Take your point, but this isn't the 1970s, all of them have mobile phones and no one goes to a petrol station to get help.

I meant help to cover it up, tow truck or something daft. Who knows what has gone off in their minds.

But when your are slightly drunk and panicking....I mean let’s face it, if you are doing a runner and thinking straight you don’t leave two vital bits of evidence behind so you, so who knows what is going through their minds.

Question:

If you were in a car accident, at approximately midnight, and your phone was dead. What would you do?

Sit around and hope someone comes by? Or think "there's a garage a mile away where I can borrow a phone"?

 

Going back to those readings. Could quite easily be 2 pints, considering their metabolisms.

or it could have been 6 considering their metabolisms which may expel alcohol more quickly, anyway it 's not my specialist subject
