Yes. He's been a dickhead.
And he's brought it all on himself.
I abhor drink driving. I don't drink. I've taken the keys of friends who've been tempted. I've driven people who are quite frankly abnoxious drunks home because I don't want them to get in their cars.
But he's been punished. I think the 40month ban is quite significant because the inconvienence of it probably hurts him a lot more than the fine. I don't know where he lives, but I live in a little village without a shop and if I couldn't drive I'd be f...ed.
The club, PC and the rest of his team all knew about his trial. And they have given him a clean slate. I think that's where we should be at.
He's clearly motivated to make a go of it this season. He's come back leaner and fitter than he's been before at the club. He's toned down the constant social media barrage. I think he's still got something to offer. Paul Cook obviously does. I hope Cook and his staff can get the best out of him. Fit and focused he's a potent weapon.
I hope he proves a lot of people wrong and learns from this. The ball is in his court now. Let's see. |  |

Norwood is what he is. I doubt he is the kind of player the club would sign now, but he’s here and I hope he has at long last learned something and improves his fitness, attitude and for his own sake, lifestyle.
I’m not holding my breath. [Post edited 13 Jul 2021 19:21]

If your job is driving and you lost your licence, good chance a summary dismissal would stick, but there are some circumstances (like your employer didn't follow procedure or didn't establish a clear code of conduct or didn't accommodate a mental health problem etc.) where the tribunal finds against the employer. |
Fair point.
A lot of companies are a bit lax on that and only really get caught out when a Union gets involved. |  |

He didn't learn the first time, so doubtful he will again.
He lives a good 45 minutes from the training ground, so it's going to cost him a small fortune to be ferried back and forth, unless he moves closer.
Either way, he's gone from the number one striker to second or third down the list and that's not including the "Marquee" Signing we are hearing from various sources. |
Ah right it’s his second is it. I’ve already up voted the OP as he deserves a chance to learn and change. But 2 bans by the time you’re 30 is not good. |  |

Norwood is lucky he still has a job at this Club. At any other job it would be deemed gross misconduct and the person would be sacked . This isn’t the first time he’s done this , so perhaps says a lot about his character ( all football aside ). |
Didn't you read the Downes thread? Apparently Norwood has better character than most of the squad from last year! |  | | |

If that is an accurate assessment from Downes, it probably says a lot more about the rest of the squad than it does about Norwood. | |

Err in the thread about Downes, not what Downes has said | | | |

Ah, so a random poster has said it? | |
