I said earlier in this thread that it wasn't appropriate to condemn or punish him without more information, and I still believe that should have been the case.

Well, now, condemn and punish away. What a fucking dickhead. It's difficult for the club not to act now that the details are in the public sphere, surely?

He's been dealt with in court. That's the way the law works. What are you blathering on about.

I can't quite put together the fairly limited amount of alcohol (yes, too much for driving...) and the sick, slurring and stumbling.

Doesn't sound like he had anywhere near enough for the latter unless he'd had double training that day, not eaten and doesn't normally drink... or am I missing something on that front?!

Seems a bit of a disconnect. Anyway, taxi next time please Hugo.

Yeah it sounds like he either is a regular drinker, so if an average person drunk what he did that night it would show on them as nearer 150mcg rather than 80, but doesn’t on Lloris because his body is used to it...... or he may have been unwell, caught a bug/virus etc which has helped the vomit come out. 80mcg certainly doesn’t usually produce stumbling and vomit. If he was on any meds then that would play a part too.

Either way, he’s still handsome.

I was in the camp of "wait for the hearing before you judge, it could have been a case of a random breath test and a few points over". Now the state he was in has come out, I don't think these are actions that become of a captain in 2018. Think it would be best if he was removed of it and it was given to Harry and/or Jan.

Oh, really? I didn't know that. Are you telling me that private organisations can't reprimand according to their own standards, because that would be new.

I was comfortable with how things stood, but now more details have emerged into the public sphere about the severity of the offence, I would expect something to be done by the club, perhaps to do with the captaincy. It would actually be pretty poor PR if they didn't act at all, but with the way our PR department has been ran in the last few months it wouldn't be surprising.

On a similar note, this is a typically excellent take from Daniel Storey from F365 on this.

I believe he was in a restaurant having a meal prior to the offence.

Is it just me or does he not look particularly well?

I've got a mate who can drink a fair few pints and be absolutely fine. The moment he has a shot or two he's hugging a toilet.

But it could also mean he’s such a rare drinker that an amount which wouldn’t usually cause such bad symptoms in most people caused them for him

Basically there’s no way to tell Hugo’s drinking habits from any of this

True. 3 or 4 pints. The vomit and the stumbling out the car thing is a bit weird for only twice the limit, which possibly suggests he is a regular drinker so it wouldn’t show big in his system and he may well have had a few more than 3 or 4 pints despite what he registered.

All guesswork of course. Anyway, must be so embarrassing for him, on top of the world one minute and then this a month later...
But to be slurring his words and covered in vomit???? Seriously something doesn't add up. Being over the two times over the limit wouldn't leave you like that.

I'm aware of quite a high number of offences were the alcohol readings don't seem to tally up with the amount consumed or how drunk a person was said to be, it's as if there's a considerable lag between the alochol intoxicating someone and it showing in their breath or bloodstream.

We need to get serious about drink driving in this country. Behaviour like Hugo's should result in a large amount of community service, not just a monetary penalty.

This will be an unpopular sentiment I'm sure but I'm not keen on fines, I think they're a tool for legitimising poor behaviour. Whether it's for offences such as speeding right up to drink driving, I'd rather see fines slashed and punishments tripled. Nine points for a speeding offence and zero fine so you know if you cross the line one more time you're banned, as regards drink driving-two years ban as a very minimum, zero fine and hundreds of hours of community payback-losing one's leisure time is a far greater disincentive to a millionaire than a paltry (in their eyes) fine. I'm not keen on justice where fines are not level across the board either but that's a whole other conversation.

Possibly, but if he was a rare drinker, I’m not sure 80mcg would equal vomit. It would probably be higher. I read somewhere that his lawyer said something along the lines of ‘well wishers were showering him with drinks’ so it sounds like he had a good few, meaning if he was a rare drinker, his reading would’ve been higher than 80.

But yep you’re 100% correct, it’s impossible to tell his drinking habits from one reading. All guesswork really. The main thing is he’s handsome.

Wrongly assumed this was one of those borderline cases. Incredibly disappointing from our captain. He needs to step back from the captaincy, bite the bullet and show a sincere apology because like it or not, he is looked up to by not only spurs fans, but millions of French fans as well.

The decision seems incredibly easy to me. Give harry the captaincy. Hugo is 31 not some kid, the senior player in the team. Him remaining captain sends completely the wrong message. He was double the limit and acted recklessly this isn't a tabloid sensationalised lads night out in ibizia or what ever.

Not really up to the judge or his personal thoughts. It's the right sentence for the offence by law. It's just that the law is shit, which is down to politicians

The law has a range of sentence conditions attached to it and the judge applied them as he saw fit. He even makes mention of this in his judgement.
