| Quote worksopwildcat="worksopwildcat"DJ. I am not looking for an argument with anybody and I hope that people with any illness mental or otherwise receive the treatment and support they need, but come on if getting behind the wheel of a car when you are drunk is "out of your control" then surely you should be in a secure environment where you can not be a danger to yourself or others. Like I've said on a previous post I know a mother who lost her daughter to a drunk driving a car head on into her....I think it is totally unacceptable behaviour.
I wont be contributing to this thread anymore....i think i have made my point....i appreciate it is at odds with what others think/believe and i am genuinley shocked that my view is seen as insensitive.'"
Your view is exactly that, YOUR view and you're entitled to it as much as anyone else. Our views are the product of our own experiences and knowledge of a subject or circumstance and as such they're not completely wrong or completely right.
Views are often polarised by events such as the one you know of and its harder to empathise with the other party in such circumstance.
In the case of mental illness the very last person to realise they're in 'no fit state' is the one with the illness, so getting behind a wheel doesn't seem wrong.
They should be separated from the drivers who just don't give a shjt and arrogantly risk other people's lives because they think they're in control even when they've had a skinfull.

| A great player and had to carry us every time he played sadly he couldn't always do it. Sadly never fulfilled his potential. The no look pass to Washy at Cas last year to win the game will live long in the memory, sad it ended the way it did but wish him well for all the good things he did do.

| Avenger,
I did say that i wouldnt be posting anymore on this thread (mainly due to the fact that i think i have made my view pretty clear and i am not posting to inflame others or to "win" the argument). I do feel however that your post was great and you are right, we are all influenced by our experiences and i did want to say how refreshing it is to see someone with a differing view put it across in a way that is both adult and reasonable. Perhaps on reflection i should have said that he "behaved" like a moron rather than to say that the fella was a moron, I dont know the guy and we are all entitled to make mistakes in our lives, its just that in my opinion some things are pretty serious and for me this was one of those situations where it went beyond a silly mistake.

Really, Bi-polar disorder of which I have some experience (no it's not me) does not automatically make you behave like an . It can explain certain parts of Smith failings but by no means all.

| Wasn't Liam Finn done for drink driving? What's everyone take on that? Paul Aiton is another. Does that mean he can never return to Wakefield?

Where do you draw the line? If Tim Smith had been done for the same thing during the run to the play offs in 2012, I'm not sure people would have been as quick to want him out. And I do believe some of those calling him would happily have Aiton and Brough back.

| Quote worksopwildcat="worksopwildcat"I know a mother who lost her kid in an accident where she was smashed into head on by a drunk, when you have this first hand experience of drunk driving it obviously impacts on your view of this offence. The fact that he refused to provide a sample again in my opinion shows what kind of "man" he is and then to put the cherry on the top he submits a sick note to the club for "anxiety"....what a waste of skin he really is. All this aside i still believe he was the most over rated player i have ever seen. Delighted he has gone and well done to Smith and Carter in having some class in binning him instead of playing him in the MPG.'"
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, mistakes are made by many admitted by few.
