40mph OVER the speed limit I think. Not a 40mph speed limit.

I would have been with you if that were the case.
'The French winger, reportedly on £45,000 a week, was clocked cruising on the A27 between the Hove and Shoreham junction 40mph above the speed limit on September 13 last year. '
40mph over the speed limit, not in a 40mph zone.

It was 110 in a 70 zone.
However, reading the article it says the police had to do 110 to try and catch him but only got to him when traffic slowed him down so it looks like they couldn't actually measure his speed so he was done for Careless Driving.
(The maximum points for speeding is 6)
What a knob.

This is astonishing.
"Prosecutor Steve Day said Knockaert "appeared to be oblivious" to marked police cars and his number plate could only be read once traffic had slowed him down.
The Frenchman was weaving through the road and using excessive speed and tailgating, according to PC John Winter, the officer who caught the fan favourite.
PC Winter described the encounter with Knockaert as "the worst example of impatient, arrogant and intimidating driving he had ever seen".
How the hell has he escaped a full ban and only been fined less than one weeks wages. That is a disgrace.

If Mr Bloom had built a players only road from the stadium to training ground, none of this would have happened.

Agreed. Reprehensible and inexcusable behavior.
'Intimidating' is the right word too - an Audi A7 is an absolutely HUGE car. That thing tailgating you at high speed, then under-taking you, would not be a comfortable experience.

The bench obviously considered this a category 1 offence by virtue of the sentence. to make it category 1 there has to be both greater harm and greater culpability than a "benchmark" for the offence.
Penalty for a category 1 is 7-9 points or disqualification (unlike drink driving or totting there is no statutory minimum disqualification so he could have been given 28 days).
Giving him 9 points is a better sentence as it will, hopefully, make him realise that he's a speeding ticket away from a minimum 6 month ban; personally I think a "sword of damocles" sentence is more likely to make an offender change their driving habits than a "short sharp shock".

The fella is as arrogant and aloof outside of football as he appears to be in it. Had the misfortune of coming across him a few times and Liam Rosenior he ain't... let's just put it that way. And before I get put in my place, I'm sure he has done plenty for charity and had lots of photographs with your children, but just because he wears blue and white we shouldn't be blinkered.

Thought he'd have a nicer car than an A7

Same number as he wears on his shirt if they can't be bothered to look for the drive with the French plates.
Silly boy. I really don't understand why any adult thinks it's acceptable to drive dangerously, too fast or under the influence. It's incredibly selfish and irresponsible.
Knocks Big Shane out of the news for a day at least though.

I wonder what the fine is for being late for training?
If he was potentially going to miss a game (repeat offender) with appearance, potential win and the outside chance of a goal bonus, AK could actually be up on the deal!!

Are you thinking of a Q7? An A7 isn’t that intimidating.
Being an Audi I guarantee his headlights were flashed more than his indicators.
Yes.

There should be an instant 18 month ban from NSC for those unable to correctly read a report
