One rule for us and another for premiership footballers?

Is it me or has Fabrice Fernandes been let off very lightly? If I ran from the police when twice the legal drink drive limit and went through 9 red lights I would expect to get locked up. Opinions please......

Yeah but 10k won't be that much to him even though he's not an absolute top level player

Well the way i look at it, how many people could he have killed, drink driving, running red lights, just stupid behaviour IMO.

Yeah but the point is this is not responsible behaviour when driving and IMO should be harshly punished..... running from the police and deliberately going through red lights and to top it all while drunk is not smart!
