This Guy Did Coke Outside a Police Station and Obviously Got Caught
There are many places to snort cocaine. In toilet cubicles; off your phone screen in a tent; off a CD case at a house party that gradually but inescapably disintegrates into four people shouting at each other about the nationalisation of railways. So why, when you have all those places, would you choose to rack up outside a police station?
To find out, youâd have to ask the man who was arrested over the weekend after allegedly snorting coke outside Lewisham Police Station. Copsâ attitude towards drugsmight be changing in certain circles and among certain officers, but itâs not like they can ignore someone brazenly doing class A drugs â a very illegal thing to do â directly outside their place of work.
Lewisham Police Station shamed the man on their Twitter: âA little tipâŠif you want to snort cocaine after a night out, try not to do it right outside the largest police station in the country.â They then posted a photo of the man in handcuffs: âThis male was detained by night duty C team officers and is now seeing the inside of the station!â
Orange County said they âpursued the investigation vigorouslyâ but found âno compelling evidenceâ to back up the allegation from US international and ex-Leeds United United midfielder Rodgers.
Hence the 2 game ban, would have been more if it was proved surely?
I think he was banned for profane language. The article is a bit short on details wouldnât you agree, one even might go as far as to itâs sensationalistâŠ
If you are watching a La Liga game and notice fans seem to be crammed into certain parts of the ground while other areas are left vacant, there is a good reason.
Increasingly aware of the need to compete with the English Premier League for the lucrative overseas television market, La Ligaâs bosses have realised a game played in front of packed stands provides a much better TV product, conveying a sense of atmosphere and excitement.
To counter the unfortunate fact many Spanish grounds are often well below capacity (not helped by the leagueâs unhelpful fixture scheduling), the authorities have taken the drastic step of introducing a new rule which will see clubs fined if the stand facing the main TV camera is less than 75% full.
The leagueâs rule book âstrongly recommends accommodating season-ticket holders and other spectatorsâ in the necessary seating, with judgments to be made on the decidedly low-tech basis of photographs taken by delegates after 30 minutes of each match.
Itâs too early to tell how strictly the league will apply their bizarrely authoritarian new âincentiveâ, but there is comfort for clubs such as Deportivo La Coruna and Real Sociedad in the notoriously wet northern regions of Spain - the rule does not apply when it rains.
Reviving this thread, as it seems Snapchat just canât help themselves. Theyâve taken some stick this week, over an ad they hosted (it would have been approved, before running) that asked users whether they would âSlap Rhiannaâ or âPunch Chris Brownâ. Hideously poor taste.
