I saw Best play years ago, well past his prime and severely impacted by a life of abuse. Still it was one of the highlights of my football watching memories. Personally I haven't touched a drop for 18 years and my life is better for it beyond measure, but that doesn't mean I can judge others. The best solution for everyone is he gets his life in order, gets fit and either plays for us really well or moves on to play somewhere else. From the moral side we have no place to judge. From the criminal side the people who should judge him have done so and he will make reparations. I hope this is a wake up call.
 
Since the outcome of the Court Case the other day, I had been worrying about how Gibbo was going to get to and from all those Hospital appointments and trips into FF for his afternoon kip on the Treatment table.

Then I saw this....

Jobs a good'un.

Student gets a DUI, drives a toy Barbie jeep to school
Can’t drive after getting your licence revoked? No problem, just buy a pretend car from a little girl

You can say a lot of things about this 20-year-old student. But one thing you couldn't deny is that the girl knows how to find [Poor language removed] productive solutions in trying circumstances.

Tara Monroe from Texas has found a way to stay on the road after receiving a DUI (driving under the influence) for refusing to take a breathalyser test after a Waka Flocka show. Her father took her car away after her licence was revoked, but gave her a bike instead. And she was not impressed.

"Riding a bike around campus sucks, like really sucks," she told MySA.com. So she did what any sensible adult with half a brain would do and turned to Craigslist to find a new car. And found a small child named Charlene selling a Barbie jeep for $60. Perfect.
“When we drove up to buy it Charlene asked where the little one was to test drive it to which I replied, ‘I am the little one,'” she said.

Alright, so the 12-volt battery can only transport Monroe at a maximum of 5 mph; okay, it’s exceedingly pink and there's almost definitely no seatbelt or airbag - but it’s sure as hell less effort than riding a bike. Ew?

Obviously, now she’s become a local legend, with everyone in the area watching out for Barbie Jeep Girl.
 
It would be good for the Club to offer him support as he's clearly got issues but I never want to see him play for us again. What he did is completely unacceptable.

You just wonder how many other incidents get swept under the carpet by the various Mr Wolfe's that PL clubs employ.

I agree, no point and as others have mentioned he's only here because of his record.
 
On the whole wage thing, are the club straight up paying him a full wage or is there wage insurance that kicks in, does the club put clauses in to players contracts about long term injuries?
 

I think this whole debate hinges on who was hit. If it was your daughter, wife, sister or close family member hit, I think there would be an entirely different opinion. My opinion is, whoever commits a crime should be subject to the law and internal company policies. I believe this kind of incident falls under gross misconduct and sending a message that it's ok to behave in that manner is not acceptable. Yes, people can be depressed and resort to drugs and alcohol but stating "the club should help" is BS. Therapy 101, you can only be helped when you acknowledge you have a problem. I have no sympathy for anyone who is stupid enough to drive drunk (regardless of whatever problem they have, common sense should prevail), but then to shun the responsibility of stopping to help.....that's just not on. Can't blame that on depression or alcholism..... #rantover
