Rumours abound with, as yet, no corroboration as to who was in the 2 cars but an incident did happen.

Other players in the cars as passengers. Plenty of (legal) room for up to 4 passengers in each vehicle. We might have been playing a completely different team against Brum had anybody been injured or killed. Fortunately nobody was.

If the two were racing, I believe jail time is inevitable.

The bar bill. Rumoured to have been £800. Sounds a lot but they won't have been in a Weatherspoon's chomping on sausage and mash for £4.99. It will have been one of the posher places in Quarndon and, if there was 10 of them then that's 80 quid apiece. Starters at a minimum of a tenner, 30 for a main and another tenner for dessert. Bottle of wine each and there's your £800. You shouldn't drink a bottle of wine and then drive. That's a given.

If the club doesn't have rules in place on when players can drink and how late they should stop then Cocu's 1st job is to put those rules in place. His 2nd job is to fine all those players involved. The 2 who drove will obviously get sanctions. Those who weren't driving should also get sanctioned as they should have had the sense to know their mates shouldn't be driving and have ordered taxis rather than driving.
