Would be curious to know the % of drivers on here who have never drove while over the limit (even if only an extra pint), never driven a car uninsured or have never blatantly went at least 10 mph over the speed limit...

I won’t even drive after only having one pint mate, the only thing I’ve done is gone over the speed limit on a motorway.

Did we sack Duncan or Steven Pienaar for the same thing? No. Is what JPG did wrong? Yes.

I’m not saying anyone is absolved because of who they are, just let’s not have double standards.

We seem to have given Ferguson a job for life and made Pienaar a club ambassador.

I’m sure that we’d love to move him on, but who in the right mind would take him on? Hasn’t he played about 4 games in 4 years?

I think we are going to be stuck with him for another two and a half years, and he will be nothing but useless throughout.

Not even 3 full games all told in two years now.

We'll loan him out I imagine.

Do I remember one of Gibson's escapades being that he managed to collide with a couple of petrol pumps in a filling station?

Petrol pumps are notoriously difficult to go around. He didnt cause a fire or explosion. No harm done!

He made a mistake, he been fined. No need for the lynch mob here. Let's move on and get him playing

Get him playing what ? Chess

I had a lucky break about 35 years ago being slightly over the limit and a decent copper (they existed back then) letting me off and i have never had a single drop of alcohol while driving since.

I think he took out a cyclist as well, so extra cudos there too!!!

There’s still 24 hours to go, he could trip up on a rolled up carpet yet.

I don't think he'll laugh at the fine, I'm sure he's not exactly chuffed to have been in court mate. He's not evil, he did something stupid. Fortunately nobody was hurt, fortunately he has been punished as he should be. The club will/have already punish(ed) him too.

We may well move him on in January if possible but right now we can't and it's been dealt with and he's been in squads since it happened, so Benitez - who I doubt was happy - is clearly not finished with him.

It's not an example of footballers being above the law. A hell of a lot of people with DUIs do not get sacked from their jobs

Do you honestly think to the nearest €50k he knows how much he has in the bank? Not even a slap on the wrist for a millionaire. He's been in squads possibly because if he wasn't we'd have no chance of moving him on. Minutes on the field, that's what counts and doubt we'll see much of him. Getting fit doesn't appear to be high in his list of priorities.

Few cocktails before diner will do that, Richard Wright and his loft come to mind.

Calling it now. He’ll smash in a 95th minute winner followed by

What a weird week in the JPG story.

The drink driving news made me reassess the real reason we haven't seen him (tooth abscess and all) - and now that seems like nonsense because he's available for tomorrow. The last thing I expected to hear.

It's all just so weird with him.

Wasn’t it Wright that also injured himself in the pre-match warmup at Stamford Bridge when he tripped over the “Do Not Warm Up Here” sign lol
