2021/22 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

Drink-driving is a heinous crime because of the sheer oblivious contempt a perpetrator has for the rest of society. It's also utterly needless - and it is this needlessness that magnifies the contempt. In these people's minds, their "need" or oblivious entitlement to drive when drunk totally trumps societal safety. It's a sociopathic act. It opens a window into the worldview of these people.

Thankfully nobody was hurt - even Gbamin, amazingly - in this incident. But the club is, essentially, without standards if it tolerates this kind of thing. It's been clear for a while that this transfer has utterly failed. People have had to be patient with the player who, through no fault of his own, has basically been a liability since he signed. But I can't see why anybody would feel the need to extend that patience now. Realpolitik probably means the club perseveres, but from a fan's perspective, it'll be hard, rightly or wrongly, to support a fella like this in the shirt, or more accurately in this case, on the treatment table. What a collection we seem to have gathered at Everton these days. Between drink-drivers, anti-vaxxers, and expensive and under-investigation former Swansea City players, we're hard to like right now.

Drunk people do very, very stupid things.

Aint no drunk person ever made a good call.

Its not a great thing to do, but I think calling them sociopaths is a bit harsh.

I didn't call him a sociopath. I said the act was sociopathic. Regardless, I have zero tolerance for this and no respect for anybody engaging in it. Too many people have been maimed or killed or bereaved by this kind of anti-social behaviour.

I once booked a flight when I was steaming then found out at the airport I had a 14 hour stop over in Abu Dhabi airport. Was intensely boring. Think I commented on every single thread on here and signed up for theevertonforum

I did say pay him off.
 
He's been training. Wasn't involved in the running at the end though or the intense game by the looks. More that he was the extra man in the passing drill. Possibly makes the squad for Saturday if the next two days go well, you'd think.

come on mate you know the drill. He’ll be walking into rakes like sideshow Bob tomorrow morning.
 
I see the morality police are still lurking about. The lad make a mistake, got the correct punishment and had a talking to/fine from the club, end of matter. If it was anything more serious he wouldn’t have played or been a squad option between the Southampton and Burnley games
If it was a player people "liked", people wouldnt want his contract cancelled.
