TRL Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 3 minutes ago, Up The City! said: I think once they refused a lift home, especially if they knew they had brought their own cars, then the sensible thing would have been for Derby to of made sure an official made sure they didn't drive their cars. Do you think club officials carry on with them after the club function has finished? its their own time they are drinking in, not the club's, its like going on the works Christmas meal, once you are out of the restaurant you are are not on works time or works responsibility. you could argue the club should have taken all the players from the ground or wherever they meet to wherever they went in club transport... but horse has bolted after that decision wasn't mad,e so responsibility lays with the player to take a taxi to wherever they are going. either way, responsibility still not with the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player should have his ******* contract torn up in that case, what a ***** and what a bunch of pricks his teams mates are for letting him drive, no sympathy for anyone concern here. **** drink drivers, if you drink and drive you should get jailed for 12 months min. Had to disagree with most of that, although the manager and the club see fit to play one and have the other on the bench. I know the case hasn't gone to court but doesn't send out a good message IMO.

There are no winners here & I'm not defending the players, I would have sacked all of them as matter of fact, BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE LET THEM ******* DRIVE HOME DRUNK UP IF I WAS THE *** WHO GOT THEM PISSED UP FFS!

I think you’re missing the bit that the three players involved went on to other venues drinking after the team meal was over. They didn’t walk out of the restaurant and get straight into their cars with the knowledge of the club. They could easily have taken taxis home when they finished their night out much later than all the other staff and players - but they chose to drive/be a passenger - nothing to do with Derby County at all ...

Unan Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Lawrence called up to Wales squad Well I hope we've all learned a valuable lesson from all this.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Would be interested to know what as a periodic contributor to this forum who supports them, @DerbyFan makes of the whole saga, reintegration etc. Also sounds like things going well on and off the pitch...?

Yeah exactly this, do what you want when you want, there is nothing to answer for. Mind you it wasnt so long ago we had players in jail for scrapping around corn street.

Club, fans, together all as one- a tough old week, that ended on a high note (2 wins). We'd started the season badly, but in that week we came back from a goal down to win 3-1 at Northampton and not only did we go a goal down but Carey or his teammate (name escapes me now) got sent off for fighting. Then on the Saturday after the prison thing v Brighton, it felt a bit of a siege mentality- may have been coincidence or not, we really hit form from quite a low point. Such events can actually galvanise a club, potentially- whether it's right or wrong is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 A lot of Derby fans very unhappy with team selection last night. Quite a few saying they won’t be attending future games even though season ticket holders. btw three other players were in the cars including Chris Martin who has been playing and scoring since.

Don't drink and drive if you're an international professional footballer or you'll miss one fixture (so you can get over the hangover). Just no morals left in football any more.

Guest Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I doubt Giggs gives a sh1te about a bit of drink driving, considering what he put his own family through. If anyone is expecting him to have any morals you are sadly mistaken. I hope it divides their squad and they really struggle on the pitch, along with their owners FFP pisstake it is going swimmingly well imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 A slight digression, as is my wont, and quite a lengthy article to boot, but I found it interesting and, as it does make mention of the Derby incident, I thought I would share it with you all.

Regardless of the driving incident which could have ended far worse heaven forbid, they are professional athletes and team bonding or not they should not be getting smashed a couple of days before a game.
