George, as a Derby fan, if you are right on what you write, then I am totally in agreement with you. No sympathy for me for any and all punishment they get. However, the only certainty so far is they have been charged with drunk driving. There are no witness statements, no video, no police statement, no club statement that they were racing. If they were then jail time is called for IMO. There also a lot of Twitter posts suggesting certain powders being involved. They don't come from the East Midlands, not even Nottingham. This is mischief making and is, thus far, no more than fiction. Should that be true then I would call for an even longer jail sentence. Some of you have a look at DCFC fora from time to time. I think you will find that nobody is condoning these actions and very many are in the same vein as the concensus on here, namely, sack the drivers.

IMO, this is way too serious an affair to have you and us "having a go over it", especially considering fans of both clubs appear to be of one thought, namely, the repercussions should be severe. My own thoughts are that the drivers shouldn't play for the club again. The passengers should be severely dealt with but, as the club said, should be rehbilitated back into the fold. Cocu has already said all of them will be doing a lot of work with the DCFC Community Trust. That will greatly curtail their afternoon rounds of golf and I am all for it.
