Nothing can ever replace the loss of those two brothers but he should be allowed to continue his career.

Very true, but it's going to be hard for the family of the boys.

It is very hard for them irrespective of his profession but if he wasnt a footballer in the limelight they wouldnt read about him now and the case wouldnt have made so many headlines at the time of the crash..
 
I'm not entirely sure that if I was to get pissed, attempt to drive home, kill 2 young boys and serve time in prison my empolyers would re-employ me.

football has it's own rules, most of them are shit.

I'd be interested to know what he has he said about his crime.

Not disputing you but would your boss not want who he considers to be able to do the job best to have the job.

You used to be an employer, no?

Would you pick the best person, despite knowing he had killed someone or would you pick the next best person?

He made a mistake. It could have been the first time, it could have been the first of many.

I am sure there are a proportion of drink drivers who will never drink drive again. That could have been the first time he risked it and paid the (almost) ultimate consequences (killing himself as well). There are probably those who will drink drive until they are caught out. There are those who will drink drive and never get found out; ad finitum.

Would you employ a convicted drink driver who killed someone?

I fell into the bracket of one that ignored the DD law but never got convicted but 3 people in my family did and I thought that is too close so packed up about 20 years ago and haven't done it since. The thought that I might have an accident and kill somebody never came into the reckoning as like most DD drivers I considered wrongly that I was a good driver whether having had drink or not. Being a publican I would probably say no to the question of employing such a person because I would consider the handling of alcohol all the time too much of a temptation. What I would do as a football manager or owner is probably different, I think that I might but would need to meet and talk to the man first before deciding.

Christ, not another 20 pages of handwringing please! Enough already. We've done it to death (no pun intended) too many times.
 


Plymouth Chairman:

"Luke is remorseful and deserves his rehabilitation"

No, no he doesn't, he deserves NOTHING of the sort, he deserves to be vilified everywhere he goes by everyone he meets. He deserves to be reminded daily what he did.
