Hamza Choudhury

[Molson Canadian]

Not a good situation.  Has more than enough money to find a safe ride home.  A refusal to take a breathalyzer and not cooperate makes it worse on him legally.  I wonder if he was required to provide a blood test sample when being booked at the station. 

 

I wonder what his drink of choice is.

The Palestinian flag has nothing to do with it.

He’s a reckless idiot for drink driving. 
 

I think the flag waving might be popular amongst certain people. But it isn’t with me.

Also the two things can be mutually exclusive. No person does everything right. He believes in something and feels he should voice his support, at the same time a moment of idiocy causes him to make a stupid decision. No one is perfect, just because one act is deplorable doesn't mean all his actions fall into the same category.

Agree with your point but he’s got 3 young kids as far as I know so what’s he doing at 1:45am around town. Something not quite right as he’s got previous: covid party for one.

 The severity of the offense?

 

having a drink and getting behind the wheel isn’t an offense.  Being over the limit of course is of course .All I’m saying is we need to find out some more details - there’s a reason why there are different levels of punishment and if he’s been a melt and drank a bit much that’s one thing as stupid as it is.Being 4 times over the limit and hardly being able to stand is something different though.  Both are punishable but with different severity.. just trying to find out exactly what’s happened before we throw him to the wolves..

“Having a drink and getting behind the wheel isn’t an offence” is an absolutely pointless argument when he’s been found to have been over the limit and charged with the offence. 
 

Doesn’t matter if you’re a tiny bit over the limit or way over the limit. You’re over the limit. It’s irresponsible. Like I’ve said, he was “driving without due care and attention”. There’s no excuse for it, no defence. The limit is there for a reason.

Makes me laugh, I bet 50% of people on here have been over the limit and drove.

Honestly if you really sit back and think about it, how many people with young kids still have the occasional night out? You are talking about 2 situations 3/4 years apart. We all act like we are holier than thou, just because they are football players they must be complete saints. Yes some footballers are worse than others but they are all human. Not condoning his drink driving however, that's just plain stupid and maybe arrogant (kind of above the law situation)

I’ve never said there an an excuse for it or a defense… I have only ever said there’s different severities of offense and different severity of punishments  and I’m waiting to see exactly what  that is before I truly react.

Wonder what his favourite tipple is?

[FOXYTALK]

Stupid behaviour. Would it count as gross misconduct or a breach of his contract?

If I'm not mistaken, refusing to take breath test in itself either at the road side or in custody, means if it goes to court he'll be charged with drink driving. For me Choudhury doesn't seem to learn. He comes across a decent lad, but his judgement and actions at times are somewhat misguided. If he doesn't sort his social life out, he may find the club lose patience with him.

He's already been charged aint he facing to provide a sample he ain't got a leg to stand on

Surely, if he has refused to do a breathalyser then we will never know the severity of it? Without knowing his blood/alcohol level there is no accurate way of telling if he was a little over the limit or completely sh!t faced.

I got told the club didn’t know.

No not at all but you’d think by most people on here they’d never done anything wrong. Must be great to never make a mistake.

No every footballer has a drink drive clause,and stupidity regulations,because they were taken from school has minors before they could do a pub crawl educational police tour..

Refusing to take a road side breath test is an offence in itself however he seems to have been charged with three offences.

 

It seems he's refused to provide at the road side, resulting in him being arrested. When in custody,  he's gone on the evidential breath test machine and blown over, hence his charge of excess alcohol. 

 

And the third charge of driving without due care would suggest there was something wrong with his driving prior to him being stopped .

[Bryn]

He could, and probably ought to, do jail time here.

[David Hankey]

What a chump!!

[Sly]

He’s got a long list of misdemeanours hasn’t he? 

The raciest and sexiest tweets.

 

The Covid party after we lost to Man City with Maddison, Barnes and Perez.

 

The recent “From the River to the Sea” tweet.

 

Sliding into Elle Brooke’s DMs.

 

Turning up late for training

 

Drink driving 

 

Some players have a more dedicated and professional outlook to football than others. To others, it’s a job.
