Explains why he did not get signed though. Puts it to bed really.

No worse than alcohol, and a fairly similar effect.


That is a fair argument but do we need to legalise further narcotics which will cause more problems than they solve, simply because there are difficulties in managing the illegal dealing? As I said, cannabis I can appreciate due to the medicinal qualities even those I know those in law enforcement who have serious doubts about legalising it.

I also have doubts whether legalising drugs will solve the problems - I imagine dealers will look to undermine the official product by undercutting it using dangerous additions for a cheaper quality good.

A reasonable conclusion.

I think we have to look to other countries that have legalised certain drugs. And look to the facts of what they do. I appreciate some will go for the cheaper product, but that's like saying people will go for hooky booze. Not a massive problem, really, is it?

Legalse it, make it safe, and tax it. IMO.

Considering it has nothing to do with football, seems like a fairly harsh penalty to me.


Didn't that Adrian Mutu get about 6-9 months for taking some sort of recreational drug years ago. Cant really remember what it was now (without looking it up) but 6 weeks does seem lenient.

Following the positive reaction to recent news about Jason Dozzell, it'd be a bit hypocritical to hammer Murphy too much. Although obviously the fact he is still an active player and it would indicate he's not taking his fitness seriously means it should be an internal issue.

We know with Keogh and the Derby lads, players are too valuable to suffer the same fate as you or I if caught, but I do think some sort of medical/counselling intervention at their expense might be a good course of action for pros.


Jason Dozzell has clearly had some very great struggles in his life. Daryl Murphy admits he took it on a night out with the lads. It isnt hypocritical at all to hammer him and not Jason.

I think back then there was a minimum 6-month ban imposed by FIFA (pre-WADA anti-doping sign-up for football).

Now there is no minimum for a first offence if it is not a performance enhancing drug.

Seems bizarre for a player of his age and experience, not to mention ANY professional footballer doing that given the high profile cases of people like Bosnich. You'd understand it more of a young idiot with too much cash, an older pro like Murphy just seems crazy.


My thinking exactly.

Given the circles footballers generally find themselves in (alongside highly paid, emotionally immature, young men, with too much spare time on their hands) it seems more than a little odd that a pro footballer would take coke for the first time at the age of 36. Just v odd. Almost unbelievable.

It's been explained to you lots of times, and by lots of people, why you're wrong. But you refuse to listen. It's pretty clear your approach of keeping things as they are isn't working.

I dont want things to stay as they are, I want people to stop buying and using illegal drugs & for them to be prosecuted properly by the law when they do it.
But please, tell us all more about this "safe" cocaine you mentioned earlier.

Telling people to stop buying and using illegal drugs is clearly not going to work.
They ARE prosecuted properly by the law when they do it.

Where did I mention "safe" cocaine?

Firstly, incorrect; https://www.christian.org.uk/news/police-force-turn-blind-eye-drug-dealers/

Secondly, you seem to think that the effects of cocaine is more or less the same as alcohol and you talk about "make it safe" earlier. What did you mean by that?
