Lots of high horse riding on here. Were those of you keen to slaughter Hamza so harsh on Wes, who did the same? 

I would.  When I was 18, 5 of my friends died in a car crash when a drunk driver cut a corner and hit them at 75mph.  It's the one thing I really struggle to look beyond. 

 

As a result, I've never even had a single pint and then driven.

Wow Enzo that’s a massive massive error playing him after being arrested for drink driving 

 

club discipline will be a struggle now 

 

This has ruined my evening … now I’m really worried about Enzo 

 

shot himself in the foot 

[LFox99]

Utter twat, get rid - oh wait we can't cause he's somehow nabbed a fresh contract from our inept board. 

He's been in more headlines than starting lineups for **** sake

Gut is the club didn’t know about it hence the lack of comment towards it

If that's the case they'd do well to give him a lengthy ban from the squad. Made the club and the coach look like muppets for picking him now this has come out.

Suspend & fine him against Birmingham..and tell hell he’s a very naughty boy,

Then suspend him again against Swansea just to show we are very,very angry

This isn't something Enzo will just gloss over. Enzo put his trust in him because we're currently short on midfielders. Hamza probably decided to not tell anyone about this and now he's managed to make it look like he got caught breaking the law and was rewarded with a start for it by Maresca.

Does the club have a wider drinking culture?

Might explain why they run out of juice and conceed late goals. Anyone ITK?

Need to get back to the late summer drinking vibe, sun downers and winning ourselves late on week in, week out.

Why on earth he was allowed to play on Monday is beyond me. It was only a matter of time until this story broke; no damage limitation from the club. 
 

Hopefully he gets his comeuppance as community service and not a fine. 

[Marky mark]

Will the club pay off any cummunity service & tell the authorities he’s needed like they did with Simpson 

[Wortho]

In my opinion he made himself look a bit of a c**t waving a Palestinian flag around in the past.

Pretending he's some hero of social justice when he's put out racist tweets in the past, tweets mocking mental health issues, cheating on his missus.

Footballers tend to not be the smartest bunch but my word he's thick even for that standard.

Rodgers dropped the Covid partiers and it didn't do anything for discipline. If anything it felt like it backfired and started that season's bottlejob. 

[Cincinnati Fox]

I thought he was of muslim faith? And therefore is forbidden to drink alcohol?

This is fair, I do think that it is a spectrum though and depending on where he falls on that (ie did he have 2 pints which many people drive on) is important. 

 

I like Hamza but he definitely needs to grow up a bit

To be fair that is literally supporting an opinion the majority of his generation have.

 

Think the drink driving is quite a lot worse.

[SafewayFox]

Before the club offered him that new contract did they not think of his off field antics?

 

He seems to be more front page news rather than on the back pages.

 

At 26 and a player that Enzo has clearly put more faith than Rodgers did……you’d have hoped he’d realise the very fortunate situation that he finds himself in (being paid silly money at your boyhood club and actually getting minutes on the pitch).

I don’t do media,or wagging tong speculation..The lad was foolish,club & Enzo will deal with it has they see fit..Some fans enjoy

that adrenaline of Soap-opera discussion.I concentrate on the football,

training and gameday debate…

[Pliskin]

Drink driving has claimed the lives of many innocent people, destroying lives and families. Clubs need to take a firmer stance on incidence like this, it appears no one was hurt, but if you’re willing to sit behind the wheel of a car drunk, you’re willing to take the chance that you may recklessly seriously injure or kill someone. 
 

If he’s got an issue I’m all for the club helping him through it, but he probably shouldn’t be playing for the club again. You can’t be complicit in behaviour like this, not with this kind of profession.

Half agree, it’s an absolutely ridiculous thing to do. Not that it’s ok but I’m sure plenty in here have done similar. 
 

Don’t think any club has sacked a player just for being charged through drink driving alone.

Surely they would have to have known about it. I’m pretty sure most employees are obliged to tell their employer if they’ve been arrested? Especially given that it’s gonna come out in the media anyway.

But why take that risk at all? A multi millionaire (!) who could’ve quite easily got a taxi.

Completely agree. Fair point
