Hugo Lloris

Me making any judgement on him beyond he’s been stupid/naive at the moment.

OK, i was wondering because my post was asking what others would have said if it had been a Arsenal/Liverpool player in the same circumstances. Would they have treated their situation the same as some are doing with Hugo. ie lets not make judgement until we know more or would it have been the opposite, or they should be sold, dropped or forgiven?
 
If your kid is done for drink driving, do you:
A) Disown them?
B) Write them out of your will?
C) Kick them out the house?
D) Cancel badminton on Tuesdays.
E) Ask them if they realise what they have done is wrong, ask if there is a deeper problem, teach them why it is not acceptable, support them, and let the courts serve their punishment?

He has broke the law and has admitted to it. There is no way breaking the law can be measured ' to what extent". As i said sacking him or dropping him is a over reaction though.

Isn’t that exactly what happens though with sentencing? In this instance the more over the limit he is, the more severe his punishment will be - eg in length of ban, custodial sentence etc.

That is not what i said though he broke the law that is the point, what happens after is ( as you say) down to the courts.

I think I’ve seen one post saying he should be stripped of the captaincy, a couple of others saying he should be dropped for a game or two (not unreasonable considering he missed a day’s training, which we know is important to Poch), and everything else just saying he’s been stupid, because he has.

No one is really going any further than that. Nobody wants him hung, drawn and quartered, no one is saying he needs to be fined a years salary and no one that I can see on here is suggesting he should be sold. He will be fined 2 weeks wages by the club, and he may either be dropped, lose the captaincy or both. But no one is saying really that we should do anyhing other than what you suggest in Point E anyway. It’s just there’s an acknowledgement that it’s a stupid thing to do anyway, and especially worse when he is the World Champion captain of our club and should be setting an example.
 
Whether he should lose the captaincy or not, depends on the circumstances IMO. How drunk was he? Was it "accidental" (as in he thought he was sober) or did he get in the car knowing he was over the limit? Does the incident affect his standing/respect among his teammates/Poch? Was him drinking alcohol in the first place a violation of club rules?

These are some of the questions the club/Poch will need to ask before that decision is made. They need to make sure he is penalised as appropriate for what he did, while simultaneously thinking what's best for the team. Also there's a bit of club PR people working hard behind the scenes here.

And its not an unreasonable point to make. I don’t think if someone is saying that, it makes them hysterical or going too far. It’s an entirely reasonable thought process given he is supposed to set an example. Some people seem to be suggesting we just sweep it away once he’s served his weekly fine and let the law take care of him otherwise, but I think ignores the fact he is supposed to be THE standard bearer for our club. Doesn’t mean we should sell him and never play him again, and I know he’s apologised, but I think it’s beyond stupid.

Nor do I, I was just responding to you saying few people hold this view on here, I think that it is close to being the consensus.

And I’m responding to the people who seem to be implying that the consensus is that it isn’t that bad and that everyone is saying we should flog him in the town centre.
