Somb is a cracking lad who lives amongst some very well known Sunderland lads, some you'd definitely know.

He's respected by them and most people on here and for good reason, hes a good poster and has been for many years.

You come on here when you're banned or having 'time off' RTG.

No offence to you but there's been far too much of people, who rarely post, coming on here trying to lay the law down.

If it was a choice between the two of you I'd choose him every time.

What a wonderful post.

I've just spent a few hours with Somb. He's most likely asleep in the bath, pissed, at the moment (he had 4 pints <cheers>); he's a true mate. What's interesting is how much support he has off most of the lads on here rather than the pathetic post from the poster we read earlier.
 
OK, let me spell it out as nicely as I can.
This board is a Sunderland board, not a scum unwashed board.
So with respect don't post just cos a few soft arses talk to you on go back on your beheaded board and talk to them thick geordie bastards.
I ****ing hate geordies.
Now that was as polite as I can put it.
Remember the Strawberry, what a day that was.
I’ve seen you post on both boards Bob and this type of post isn’t like you. I trust it’s an aberration and you’re ok in yourself.

Cheeky feccer!

I had a shower….
 
Given that’s what the Courts do it really isn’t that stupid. You can’t really be claiming that someone who is only 3 or 4 points above the limit is as bad as someone who is 3 to 4 times over the limit can you?

Most sensible fans have criticised him but as to which level of punishment he should face we (not the Club as they can find out from him) will need to wait until the Court case as the reading will then be disclosed.

It was wrong and stupid and dangerous but any criticism has to be proportionate to how bad bad was. What was the reading and what, if anything, actually happened.

Either way, he put himself, and members of the public in harms way, and that's inexcusable no matter how much you're overthe limit.

I agree.

But I’ll still wait for all the details before I decide, for me, exactly what I think of Joelinton’s behaviour and what punishment I think he should get. Not that my view will affect him or the Club.

What 'details' do you need? He was caught drink driving and he's up in court in 10 days time. What exactly is missing to allow you to make a decision?
 
the bloke was over the limit, no matter how much, it is wrong and i feel sure he will be duly punished...whether we agree with it or not that will be the end of it.

by the way, when AJ got done for his 'relationship' with that young lassie, does it matter that she was almost legal age...not a jot, he got dealt with exactly as he should.

The actual reading and what, if anything, else happened eg car crash etc.

Again, if it’s good enough for the Courts to require that information before punishing someone then it’s good enough for me as well.

I’ve already indicated that it was wrong, stupid and dangerous but I require as much detail as is available before coming to a final view eg sell him, suspend him or whatever etc. It seems fair to me to do that as it avoids over reaction and under reaction. Wouldn’t you agree?

If he's guilty of being over the limit ther is no wriggle room IMO. You cannot have half a hole.

It is an unforgivable act on the part of anyone, never mind a multi millionaire who could comfortably afford a taxi, a chauffeur, or a hotel room wherever he chose.

The only wait can be if he pleads innocent and disputes the reading. Other than that he's a slime bucket, as is every other individual who does this, and especially those with enough money to have multiple options.

Who is talking about “wiggle room”?

Just a simple case of getting all the facts before forming a final view rather than jumping in with both feet and forming a view based on only part of the relevant information. Bad is bad but as with everything there are degrees of bad. As with my example before I would take a much harsher view on someone who is 3 or 4 times the limit than someone who was just over the limit. They are both bad but one is clearly much worse than the other.
 
Years ago, my girlfriend went to the races with her friends. She used our car to take them there. When they came back, they carried on their afternoon in the local pub. My girlfriend wanted to have a drink, so I walked to the pub to pick up the car.

I wasn't feeling very well but as I arrived at tthe pub, they had bought me a JD and coke.

I left the pub within 20 mins to drive home.

The journey home by car was only about 3 or 4 mins.

I felt unwell, and pulled over in the car after about 200 yards from our house.

Behind me was a blue flashing light.

A copper asked me to step outside the car and get into his. He told me that I had stalled my vehicle at the traffic lights.

He asked if I'd been drinking....I said No.

He beathalysed me all the same and said I'd failed his test. I was taken to the Police station where they tested me a scond time.

I told them that I felt really unwell. They confimed that I was twice over the legal limit.

They charged me.

They then had to ring an ambulance as I had collapsed.

I woke up in hospital the next day getting treatment for a burst ulcer.

However, the Police were not interested in my health condition, which proved that I was in fact very anemic due to the loss of so much blood.

I was fined...I got points on my licence...and I was still banned for 12 months.


I only hope that Loelinton gets at least what I got...

You're condoning a potential killer. He got caught, he's getting done, nothing else to consider.

Are u saying he mixes with the chaps, or is mates with some of them

If you read what I said I haven’t.


condone
verb
  1. accept (behaviour that is considered morally wrong or offensive).


    How can I have accepted his behaviour when I haven’t come to a final view and simply want all the facts. By your logic the Courts have condoned his behaviour because they haven’t found him guilty yet nor imposed a sentence. Obviously not the case.
