[Albion] Duffy speeding charge - Court date

[Thunder Bolt]

Same as when I was caught on the railways with a discounted ticket.

It's not the punishment (although that doesn't help) but the sheer amount of time it's taken and the heavy letters threatening big fines, prison or community service (scrubbing vomit off station platforms probably). I don't have anywhere near as much money as Shane Duffy but I bet he's still pissed off as I was with it hanging over him. What I would have loved most was Govia opening all the paperwork my solicitor sent with them threatening a vulnerable person. They withdrew their case after that.

Legal aid for fare dodging or £80 a letter?

In April, caught in central Hove where most of the players prefer to live - for obvious reasons

Im puzzled as to why on earth you needed to post this on NSC ?

Palace can only dream of such a predicament.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Yes, you have to appear for a ban under totting up.

Duffy was living in Bramber apparently.

still does !

It's wasn't an on-the-spot fine like common sense would deem it to be.

The person (can think of 200 different other names) wanted blood and some of their money back from strike days.

All in the past now, Thunder Bolt and moving on from an awful year (apart from Albion being promoted).

I'm also wondering how Big Shane is feeling after being almost the only man who actually turned up to play against Denmark in back to back World Cup Qualifiers this past week He is a committed Irish Republican and looked totally gutted after that 5-1 defeat on Tuesday night.

Still I suppose this is where Chris Hughton earns his money, to make surte that all of the squad are in the right place mentally as well as physically for Stoke's visit next Monday.

Indeed, this is his private life and it has no effect on his football.

Much like a player rumoured to be coming out.

I'd have to call for him to be dropped. Behaviour like this should be addressed.

 

[BensGrandad]

If this pending court case inhibIts his ability to out jump Peter Crouch on Monday night I would advocate that he is dropped. I wonder if Mrs Crouch will be in attendance.

Shane Duffy probably has 3 times the points that Crystal Palace have!

Be good if you can say that at the end of April. Perhaps he should offer the next 3 to them as their need is greater than his.

 

[Bry Nylon]

The way their season is going, if the Crystal Palace team coach got caught doing 40 in a 30 they'd probably get a speed awareness course instead of 3 points.

Shame Duffy is a bit of a character, what with his controversial political views and a colourful personal life.

I am of a view, that he who is without sin, cast the first stone though.

Youre deluded if you think there would be no interest in tbe first.openly gay premier league player, in fact you know full well there would be , but you and others like you are breaking your necks to prove how right on you are .

I hate to confess that I have always had time for wayward artists, whether in music or football or, er, art.

Where does 'Shame' Duffy fit in this pantheon? Let's see after another couple of years. He will have to up his game to reach the hard core levels of Giorno....

I know he has a right to contest the fine and everything but the likelihood that the fine is unjustified is slim these days given how obvious limits and cameras need to be and how much warning speeders have to have to slow down.

I got done using a bus lane the other day. Not a regular occurrence by any measure. I used it to undertake a queue of traffic blocking a lane to turn right, I was incredibly late for work. I shouldn't have done it. I got fined, paid it, and the council reduced the cost for early payment. £30. Done.

If he knew what he was doing when he did it, which the council will most probably rule, why would he take it all the way to court and not just pay the PCN? Baffling.
