Lawrence and Bennett...

I may be ‘out of step’ on this one but, I feel sorry for the bloke.
He made a mistake and it looks like certainly his Derby career and probably his entire football career may now be finished as a result.
He’s not been the greatest player and he’s not been the greatest of skippers either imo, but until last Tuesday he’d been Derby’s ‘Mr. Reliable’, one of the few to play through the pain barrier and never one to hide or shirk responsibility.
Seems so sad that all that should come to an end in the way it has when all he actually seems ‘guilty’ of is getting ‘pissed’.
Don’t suppose there’ll be any testimonial and possibly no insurance claim in the circumstances and that too is sad for a guy who has done far more good than harm where Derby County are concerned.

So, he'll get at least another 18 months wages?
He's 33 now?
Probably 35 if he was ever to get fit?
Eactly how do you call it career ending?
It was over already in reality. Just the clock running down.
If anything, this has palyed into his hands. Can start being a football pundit no doubt. Radio /tv. Republic don't seem to have too many.
If he hasn't banked enough by now, then being a piss head is his next career move.
The testimonial crap is way out of date anyway.
Sympathy? Nope, not from me.

Tricky there are times when I think your not only heartless your also brainless . Testimonals are not out of date they happen all the time the monies don't go to the player nowadays it's usually for local charities You must be brainless if you expected us to think you would be sympathetic to anything Derby You have a short memory because this site was full people saying nice things about Chris Cohen when he had to finish check it out

Tricky, we seldom agree which doesn’t bother me one jot, but you’re out of order here.
If the diagnosis is as Stenson describes then his career is probably over...that’s how I call it ‘probably career ending’.
Will he get another eighteen months wages? I have no idea and I doubt if you do either.
He’s picked up a career threatening injury in a way that wasn’t directly related to his profession. Will that be covered? I don’t know...that was my point but maybe you who know everything know better.
You have absolutely no evidence to substantiate calling him a ‘piss head’. He was allegedly drunk last Tuesday...we’ve all been there...all made bad decisions under the influence. We haven’t all had to pay such a heavy price.
Not sure how easy he’ll find becoming a pundit. As we’ve all noticed from his interviews he’s hardly a ‘wordsmith’ and his reputation has taken a battering.
Not sure what it’s got to do with you and I doubt very much that RK would welcome sympathy from such a sanctimonious prat as you anyway.
