Lawrence and Bennett will get their punishments and will have to live with the consequences of their actions for a very long time. Not really sure what punishment the club can impose now, other than financial. That seems a bit lame, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take a very simplistic view - they have broken the law, they will be dealt with by the courts.. Probably fines, bans some form of community service. Derby County will impose their own sanctions on the individuals concerned and will make these public at the appropriate time. In the meantime the club has decided they should carry on with the job they are paid for. There is nothing morally wrong with this whatsoever. As has been said many times.. Drink driving is a stupid reckless dangerous thing. My brother was in a car with 4 friends and got hit head on by a drunk who was on the wrong side of a dual carriageway. His best friend in the front passenger seat was killed instantly.. 17 years old. Another friend of mine was drunk.. Fell asleep in the front seat of his mates car.. His mate then decided to drive home drunk and put my friend through the windscreen he was scarred for life. Horrible stories I'm sure many on here have many more. But I Don't hate Lawrence or Bennett or Keogh.. I don't know them. All I know is the courts and club will deal with the facts and take appropriate action and that is good enough for me. Excellent post. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a staunch defender of them. Out of interest, what would they have to have done to merit your disapproval? I'm really intrugued to know. The standards of behaviour you accept from highly paid professionals is quite low. Because potentially ending the Captain's career is no big deal and all just a bit of a laugh isn't it?

I bet most people if they did a bit of digging would find those considered as friends and family contain people have Drove over the limit and/or worse, albeit not getting caught doesn't make them less guilty unless you're a hypocrite. Human Rights mean you are allowed to earn a living until convicted, and as footballer wages are subsidised by appearance and win bonus money, leaving them out before a conviction is unfair. Disagree with the second paragraph, but the first is absolutely bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. Thanks for adding the "okay" at the end, which took the edge off your comment. Much appreciated - genuinely. Perhaps it's in tune with the EFL's promotion of MIND - to be more understanding about people's emotions and mental health. I guess that both a "flounce" and "being upset" - look the same, when written down in a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said in another thread that you stood on a milk crate on the popside as a small boy in 1977. In that case half the pits were shut by the time you reached working age and long gone 25 years after that, unless you were sat hiding in an abandoned pit shaft with your davey lamp and snap tin like a Japanese soldier ?

Absolutely not and I'm sure it's something which will stay with you for the rest of your life But whilst you may never recover society dictates that a punishment will have been handed (hopefully) to that drink driver with the aim of making them understand the damage they've done and hopefully to rehabilitate them No one is or would ever ask you as an individual to forgive or forget (that would be up to your personal choice) but society as a whole works to give people who make stupid mistakes a second chance - Derby County as an club/business/institution will always work more like the state/society when it comes to these things than the individual 2 hours ago, chezzyram said: You said in another thread that you stood on a milk crate on the popside as a small boy in 1977.

Down the pit as a youngster - let's say 5 years old in '77 - Then worked 16 hours a day which is 2x eight hour shifts - So every year can count as 2 working years - So then could have finished in '90 (?) just in time to have his first legal pint to celebrate It makes sense because unfortunately didn't even get enough schooling to correctly spell 3-letter words ?

If they had injured or killed someone then that would be an entirely different matter. Please don't say they injured Keogh, he's a big boy and should have known better. I am betting that nearly everyone who's criticised these two have broken the law in some way over their lifetime. Yes, what they did was idiotic, but reading comments from sanctimonious hypocrites is just a little galling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
