But he wasn’t drunk, as far as I know. That’s the point of United Republic’s post, surely?Sure what’s wrong with drunk driving as long as you don’t hit anyone. No big deal.

Nobodies actually outraged, just pretending to be so they can insult a player they already don't like and demand they be sacked. Its the Maguire thread from last year agaianWhy the outrage he didn't hit anyone or drive drunk calm down.
He'll still get to training on time, he'll play the games it's not a big deal.
This. All those insulting have never done a wrong thing in their lives i'm sure.He did a dumb thing but this outrage is amazing, calling him a silly human, scum bag and all sorts? He wasn't drink driving, he was stupid but that's it. He'll get the appropriate punishment and life continues. Redcafe never disappoints with the over reactions, same with Maguire last summer.
I bet most people here haven't been dumb and twattish enough to have ever been banned from driving in the first place. Let alone gone out and driven again while already disqualified and with no insurance.This. All those insulting have never done a wrong thing in their lives i'm sure.
I'm sure they've done other dumb shitt. No need to insult though. People make stupid mistakes. He seems like a relatively good guy, but needs to calm down with his driving. Chalk this up to "welcome to the internet"!I bet most people here haven't been dumb and twattish enough to have ever been banned from driving in the first place.

We don't know how he got disqualified in the first place, but if we chalk whatever that was off as a stupid mistake, then going out and doing it again implies that he's either lacking in intelligence to a dangerous degree, or that he has contempt for the law.I'm sure they've done other dumb shitt. No need to insult though. People make stupid mistakes. He seems like a relatively good guy, but needs to calm down with his driving. Chalk this up to "welcome to the internet"!
We wanted him to get better in offence, not commit one!!!
Small bit dramaticDon't think there's any coming back from this. Fergie would have shipped him out the door immediately.
Can you read ? Did you not see the or, wow some people are amazing on this forum can’t belive I’m wasting a comment on you.Sure what’s wrong with drunk driving as long as you don’t hit anyone. No big deal.
Bang on.He'll get a big fine and, at worst, some community work. It shouldn't affect the first team.
Footballers are like your average 15 year old boy. But every negative aspect is dialled up to 11. Imagine the feeling of invincibility, exceptionalism and impunity that comes from being so young, fit, attractive and sheltered from responsibility. Our AWB seems to be affected worse than most.
Events like this, his speeding and also the story of how stupidly he his two timed his girlfriend give you an idea of how immature he is. Almost every roll of the dice he's had in his 23 years on this earth so far has come up with a double 6. This will be one of the rare instances where it's 3. He'll need to get used to it, because nobody is going to be that lucky for the rest of their life.
I used to be surprised hearing about players who couldn't change their own lightbulbs and had to call their parent club to send somebody around. At this point, I almost almost expect the majority to be men-children. It's not a good excuse. But it is what you get.

FreakIdiot
If he really has committed 4 driving offences to end up disqualified, and then driven while disqualified on top of that, it doesn't seem like learning from it is something he'll be capable of doing.Silly from him but thankfully it isn't something terribly irresponsible like drunk driving (which for some reason is what I thought it was).
Learn from it and move on.
AWB is great, I love him as a player. He's been an absolute idiot at least three times while driving. Several people I know have been either killed or maimed by speeding morons, and another guy I know is likely to kill himself or someone else ("funny" considering his dad just learned to barely walk a year after someone lost control of their car and crashed into him front to front).Nobodies actually outraged, just pretending to be so they can insult a player they already don't like and demand they be sacked.

I agree, it's really disappointing because I liked him but it's hard to respect him now. It's alright saying it's just a mistake but he's obviously already made several similar mistakes to lose his licence in the first place. No sign that he's learned from any of them, quite the opposite.Driving with no licence and insurance is exactly the sort of thing that only scumbags do to be fair. Draw a venn diagram of [all scumbags] and [all people who drive without insurance/licence] and the overlap is going to be almost all of them.
And that's for normal people who aren't earning £100k a week. No excuse for that. Not like he's new to the country or doesn't speak English either.
Probably the exact same thing. I’m not trying to defend him but 104mph in a Lambo probably feels like 80 in other cars. You put your foot down to overtake and next time you look down you’re doing 100.He was clocked doing 104mph in a 70 zone last year, got a measly £600 fine and 6 penalty points.
You'd have to question what else he did to be get the other 6, as you need 12 to be disqualified from driving for at least 6 months.
This year he gets caught in a car worth 170k whilst disqualified.
Incredibly stupid. He deserves to be insulted.
