Toonpack 9940 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Punishment should be relative to how far over the limit he was, a couple of pints can have you over the limit and make you a drunk driver, if he's had a monster sesh then penalty should be comparatively bigger. The fact that it was a 1:30 a.m. stop makes me think the latter but still depends if he was in "I must be OK" territory or "I know I shouldn't be driving" territory. Could maybe fine him a weeks wages to make a point, with right to review/increase that when the facts are all known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a cunt for doing it. But like someone said we don't know the full facts. I am sure the club will do something about it. They will know the full facts and will deal with it accordingly, as will the courts. To add. I don't understand drink driving. But that's because I lost my best mate to a drink driver when I was a kid and I saw what his parents and brother went through. His brother is still at a loss from him 30 years on. If you need to drive, IMO, just dont drink. Edited January 13, 2023 by wykikitoon 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lets not forget Whilst he was probably 99% certainly over the limit / maybe just over / and knew it.........he might have and its a big might......have been in a club drinking coke all night and had his drink spiked by a jealous mackem bastard working behind the bar.......unlikely but you never know Edited January 13, 2023 by Rosco 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46027 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'm not that arsed about this like. He shouldn't have done it, he's hopefully learned his lesson, and he got caught so he'll be punished. Done and dusted. I'll reserve my disappointment for if he does it again. The mackems hero worshipped a grown man that was fingering a 15 year old so they can FUCK OFF. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4825 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Watching the press conference I get the feeling he’ll play. Eddies tone was much more towards helping than punishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Darren Gibson gave the Mackem's a perfect excuse to get rid He was an alchy, crap for them and they saw a chance to save some money. If Ross Stewart did the same you can guarantee there would be a different outcome (ala Adam Johnson) Joelinton is a tit but it doesn't make sense to impose a sanction that is detrimental to the rest of the team. Fine him the maximum amount, donate it to a charity, make him do some community work on behalf of the club etc Edited January 13, 2023 by Kid Dynamite 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35573 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I’m not saying they’re hypocrites but there’s now more posts condemning Joelinton in the resurrected Darron Gibson thread on there than there is people having a go at Gibson 👍🏻 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21986 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 £29,000 fine, just over the limit. Probably equivalent to having a couple of pints and getting straight behind the wheel. Not defending this at all but at least he wasn't completely pissed. I do wonder why he was pulled over. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-64412529 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46027 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Nothing earth shattering to read, but nice to see him getting the plaudits. I'd love to see him get his goals tally to double figures for the season. Just the three needed from the next 7. Piece of piss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
