Tipps69 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Ok, so when does Diedhiou take the fall for this & get banned for being nowhere near the incident? At the very least the FA must ban him for 23 games for having been in Derby in the last 3 months! Guilty by association & all that! On a serious note, I hope they throw the book at both of them but fully expect them to get a fine that isn’t in line with their vast salaries & a ban that won’t really matter because they’ll just employ drivers! Unlikely that they will of learnt anything from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Shame their fines will be paltry and they won't get banged up, if Keogh is out for the season he may learn something from the incident - I doubt it though. Just order a taxi FFS (or a limo in their case). Trouble with people who are so far from reality is they think they can do whatever they want with no consequences and luckily they never injured an innocent person caught up in it. 6 minutes ago, 1bristolcity said: Oh! how I got slated for the booze culture, well here you go proof that there is a huge price to pay, could be career ending for Keogh.

BobBobSuperBob Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Keogh out for season looks like they got off lucky Appear to have crashed into each other with a Derby Poster offering what allegedly happened ! Derby county statement As a club, we cannot, and do not, condone the actions of a small group of players on Tuesday evening. The players were out as part of a scheduled team-building dinner with staff and while the majority of them acted responsibly and left at around 8pm and were not involved, a small group, including the team captain Richard Keogh, continued drinking into the night. They should have known when to stop and also ignored the opportunity to be driven home using cars laid on by the club, and chose to stay out. As a result of an alcohol-related incident, Richard Keogh has sustained a serious knee injury that will prevent him from playing until the end of the season. The players involved in the incident on Tuesday evening will be subject to a rigorous internal investigation under the club’s code of conduct and disciplinary procedures, but over and above any punishment they receive we will be expecting them to become involved with the excellent work the Community Trust does helping the communities we serve. We have been very clear about our attitude towards alcohol and the players know that at certain and specific times of the season they are permitted a drink together as a group in a controlled environment. Those involved in Tuesday’s incident know they will pay a heavy price for their actions, but also that we will support them with their rehabilitation back into the squad and team. We fully support the work of our partners at Drinkaware and the unsanctioned actions of this small group of players is totally at odds the stance that both Drinkaware and Derby County Football Club take regards alcohol. We will be using this situation to redouble our efforts in highlighting the dangers posed by alcohol. We would also like to thank the emergency services for their swift help.

Gazred Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 At 33 you'd think that was the end of Keoghs Derby career. It's lucky nobody got killed or suffered more serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course... Some footballers drink driving and crashing their car is exactly the same as some innocent football fans being illegally detained whilst definitely not under the influence of alcohol.
