TheUltimateWinner Posted 21 April 2013 Posted 21 April 2013 Lost all respect from me, will support him when on the pitch, but as a person he can whistle. Hope he's stripped of his captaincy next season and given to someone more influential and deserving (Kasper). Performances count, but so do lives.
shade Posted 22 April 2013 Posted 22 April 2013 pretty poor to be fair, what's also worrying is why a professional athlete is going 24 hours without sleep AND drinking alcohol.
somebum Posted 22 April 2013 Posted 22 April 2013 Just another arrogant disgrace of a footballer who thinks he is above everyone else because he has more money. Nothing more than a waste of organs...why pay to watch these shitheaps???
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 22 April 2013 Posted 22 April 2013 Not very impressive to say the least. Drink drivers are killers on wheels!
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 April 2013 Posted 22 April 2013 Not what you want from any player. This..

Foxes Blue Blood Posted 23 April 2013 Posted 23 April 2013 Why all the criticism before he is found guilty? Reading the article is very misleading, Some quotes from the article.......................... Peter Quinn, prosecuting, said a breath test at the scene revealed Morgan was over the drink-drive limit. Phillip Lucas said there was no evidence of him driving while unfit through drink, that the proper procedure for interview was not followed, and that Morgan was interviewed in between a breath test and a blood test. Sergeant Dan Skoraczewski "I could smell alcohol on him," he told the court. "It was only weak. It was noticeable but it wasn't overpowering. He appeared fine. "He appeared normal." Why was he interviewed between a breath test and blood test? surely normal procedure is to do interviews the next day when sober. (or have I been watching too many T.V programmes?) no mention of the breath test at the Police Station I don't drink, and if he was drunk behind the wheel he deserves everything the law throws at him but I will wait until the court delivers a verdict, hopefully they will have the full facts.
ADK Posted 23 April 2013 Posted 23 April 2013 I think the fact he crashed makes it rather obvious he wasn't fit to drive.
Sydneyfox11 Posted 23 April 2013 Posted 23 April 2013 I know this has no relevance what so ever about what he has done because its disgusting!!! But was this last year as the article said it was early hours of may 1st or is it a typo?
Guest MattP Posted 23 April 2013 Posted 23 April 2013 Wow. Amazing the difference in people's attitudes towards drink driving when it's a footballer they like involved.
hackneyfox Posted 23 April 2013 Posted 23 April 2013 I suppose we're all guilty of that though, I can't believe how much leeway Coco is given by those who like him, similarly those who like him can't understand how harsh some of us are on him.
davieG Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has been fined £2,000 for careless driving after he “dozed off†at the wheel of his BMW and crashed after not sleeping for almost 24 hours. Morgan was found guilty today at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court. ​ Leicester City captain Wes Morgan pictured outside court at an earlier hearing District Judge Morris Cooper ruled there was no case to answer on a second charge Morgan denied of driving whilst unfit through drink. Morgan (29), a father-of-two, of Brooklands Drive, Gedling, had a trial in April on both charges and returned to court today for the remainder of the evidence to be heard. But the second part of the trial did not resume after his defence lawyer, Phillip Lucas, put forward a succession of legal arguments on the driving whilst unfit, winning his lengthy submission there was no case to answer. The prosecution claimed Morgan told police he dozed off at the wheel and when he woke up was “swerving on the road†and “had a collision with himselfâ€. That night he had drunk brandy and coke, been to an awards function and a club, before returning to his home in Gedling, his trial previously heard. The accident happened on the A46 in Bingham, on a bridge over the A52, in the early hours of May 1 last year, the court heard. Mr Lucas said there was an accident but no damage was caused to other vehicles or property. “The likely cause of this is the defendant nodded off briefly, went briefly onto the grass, and over corrected and lost control. “He was tired but he did not feel sleep was overtaking him until it did and that was, unfortunately, the time when the accident occurred. “He is a respectable, hardworking person.†As well as the fine, Morgan will pay a £15 victim surcharge and court costs. He will have five penalty points added to six points he already has on his licence for speeding.
StanSP Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 £15 surcharge and court costs. He must be reeling from that.
Craig Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 £15 surcharge and court costs. He must be reeling from that. I'd imagine the court costs are on top of the victim surcharge (and not quoted) rather than the total of them both being £15
bluesbrothers Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 So he wasn't drink driving after all. He was just knackered after a hard day being an absolute tank. Fair play.
StanSP Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 I'd imagine the court costs are on top of the victim surcharge (and not quoted) rather than the total of them both being £15 Even so, can't be that much really! Even the £2k fine seems minor.
Guest MattP Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Not good, seriously dangerous thing to happen and you expect better from a captain of a professional sports club. Hope he has learnt his lesson.
Guppy Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 11 points on his licence That's nothing... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2158605/Zak-Whitbread-keeps-driving-licence-despite-racking-17-penalty-points--claiming-exceptional-hardship.html
