CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 How come he's a "former Chelsea footballer" when he does something bad?! He spent just as much time at united. If he were receiving an award I'm sure he would have been a former united footballer instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_President 404 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 can't believe shit like this gets into the news and is read by so many people. Drink driving is wrong, of that there is no doubt, but if he was not 'famous' this story wouldn't have been printed. Nearly as bad as all those stories about players having affairs etc.. who gives a shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly as bad as all those stories about players having affairs etc.. who gives a shitHe deserves it IMO. Famous footballers are role models for children, they also ears a lot of money. But it's also means a lot of responsibility, they can't do anything. Driving drunk is a disgusting thing, many-many people dies because of it every years.

I don't believe that because these lot earn more money than most they should have every aspect of their lives under media scrutiny. I also don't think publicly shaming people for drink driving will have any effect on reducing the rate at which people commit the offence because, when one is drunk, they do not think about consequences.. as i'm sure Mr Wilkins will attest.

I like Ray but shame on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Ray but shame on him.yes, but should we shame the other 83,975 who were convicted of the same offence in 2006 (couldn't find more recent stats) just in England and Wales? (source: http://www.drinkdriving.org/drink_driving_statistics_uk.php)I agree, shame on all of them, but not in public, unless you do it for the other 80+ thousand. One rule for 'celebrities' and another for regular people? I'm just baffled by the number of people that read this stuff about drink driving, affairs and minor convictions of celebrities. Anyway, I suppose we're derailing the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arief 40 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Still remember the downfall of chelsea after he leaves us in don carlo's era. And we sold some of our experienced players in midfield like deco & ballack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
