Bristol Rob Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Jailed for 10 weeks for failing to provide a specimen of breath. Maybe he'll use this time to work on a new 'after dinner' routine, rather than the entirely fictional account of when Brian Clough apparently tried to sign him, which turns in to 15 minute routine that seemingly mocks an addict.

Brian Clough was a larger than life eccentric with a drink problem who despite all that achieved miracles at, not one , but two unfashionable provincial clubs . He deserves more respect from a bloke who isn’t fit to tie the great man’s bootlaces . His story makes BC out to be a complete clown and a fool and he only uses it because people are still interested in the legend that was Cloughie years after his death. I don’t find the story funny at all and I’m sure that if BC were alive today then he wouldn’t dare tell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Im guessing this is his first offence? For the judge to give that sort of sentence, he must have took a real dislike to him.

NcnsBcfc Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Very unusual for him to get a custodial sentence for drink driving. Normally it would only apply if it was aggravated by causing damage or injury to others. Hate drink drivers of course; but not surprised that they are appealing the sentence. Even the judge must have thought it was at the top end of sentencing; as has granted him bail, pending the appeal. Rather than sending him straight to custody.

Not according to the BBC; Saunders was refused bail and his application to appeal will be heard at the crown court at a later date to be fixed, Mersey Cheshire Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed. Saunders, who was sent straight to prison, was "in shock" and "disappointed" with the sentence, his lawyer said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing to provide? @Fordy62 Normally carries an automatic 18 month ban on first offence. If you know you're way over, then briefs will always advise you to not provide. If you are 3/4 times over, it would be 2-3 year ban. A long time since I've been on the intoximeter I think the judiciary know that the sentence was on the harsh side. Hence why he's only spent one day in jail, and then been released on bail pending his appeal. Will get knocked down to 2 year ban I reckon.

The consequences of drink driving are horrific, I am utterly baffled why people do it, and why the penalties aren't stiffer. And when you have the means and wealth of Saunders it makes it all the more inexcusable and bewildering that he chose to get into his car rather than checking into a hotel or hiring a driver.

Does that mean you think 10weeks (actually only 5 locked up) imprisonment is harsh? I'd have thought another month or two on top would have been more acceptable, .. He's appealing against 5weeks (effectively) what was he thinking appropriate ffs? A week at Butlins and a guest appearance as a red-coat perhaps? Hope on appeal the sentence is deemed too lenient and increased (for the cheek of appealing) rather than any reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
