I very rarely drink but do you know what I think if someone has a couple then drives a few hours later In my opinion I think that's OK. But to be 3 times over is absolutely disgusting.
NO excuses.

If driven before after 2 pints of shandy and that then made me worry.

I appreciate being a professional footballer is a job.

And players are entitled to a private life etc,

But a couple of issues. One clearly is being guilty of drink driving which no-one can condone. This is not 30 yrs ago when a lot did it. You are endangering lives and there is no excuse in todays society. We should all have been educated enough to be aware of the danger. The fact he seemed to have been so over the legal limit is also damning . Shows a complete lack of self awareness or responsibility.

That it happened when it did and so close to games again shows a complete lack of respect for himself, the game, the club and the fans. It is his job to be in the best physical shape to play. Being excrement faced in the early hrs doesnt quite cut it.

The fact he played in between this shows me we might show some leniency and keep him, I’m sure he’ll pay for his mistakes in many ways

Quoted from jamesgtfc

Absolutely no sympathy and I don't want to see him play for us again. It doesn't represent the values we are supposed to stand for.

It would be a great shame if this ends his time with GTFC I thought he was promising and personally I preferred him to Efete.

Be interesting to see if the knives would be as far out and the noose tied so quickly if say McAteer, Clifton or another Town hero similarly copulated up

Bloody stupid thing to do but surely even Hurst and the new management team can allow a relatively young fella  one mistake

Quoted from jamesgtfc

The big difference is that he's supposed to be a role model and somebody that the community looks up to. There is also a huge difference between getting in the car at 4am and doing it the next day whilst still over the limit. It's on a similar level of stupidity to hosting a gender reveal party in the middle of a national lockdown.

I'm not professing to be a saint but there is a huge difference between getting in a car at 4am after a night on the ale and doing 34 in a 30 which is why one results in a few points on your licence and the other results in an automatic driving ban.

Since when did professional footballers act like role models? He’s a young lad that’s made a serious mistake that he’ll regret the rest of his life. He doesn’t need me or you to be judge and jury.

He’s from Newtown in Powys ? I genuinely feel sorry for him .

I have little time for drink drivers and I have seen some people on social media being quite vocal and forcefultrying to play it down by calling it a 'little mistake"

One of my best mates was involved in an accident caused by a drink driver, he was very nearly killed, he is very lucky to be alive, he was left with serious head injuries and was in coma for 3 months, now 3 years on he has permanent brain damage, he has actually do extraordinary well and recovered to a degree that has even surprised the doctors, and he is able to live a largely very independent life and able to work etc etc, however having said that there is still some brain damage which is permanent.

So maybe my opinion and feelings are tainted by what happened to my best mate but I feel drink driving is more than just a "little mistake"

dont think they are tainted opinions at all Arron, drink drivers are scum

Don't care if it was Macatee, Clifton or Sears. One thing I am convinced about Hurst is that they would be treated the same. Time and time again he talks of spirit, discipline and attitude.

I was asking about the attitude of those on here, not that of Hurst, if a more popular player had been as stupid
