Especially as it didn’t break the law by drink driving and was a passenger in one of cars.se9addick said:
I think Derby’s justification that, as captain, Keogh accepted being held to a higher standard. God knows if that will work, doubt that “captain” has any real legal validity.killerandflash said:
Morally wrong though, and I'm positive the employment tribunal will have something to say about it too, as it surely has to be counted as discriminationpaulie8290 said:
It was because Keogh was injured for the season and his contract was over at the end of the season anyway.killerandflash said:I still can't get over Richard Keogh being sacked by the club, while the 2 drunk drivers are just fined.
Derby probably thought why bother paying him for months when he couldnt play if they had a valid reason to sack him.
The other 2 were young enough and still had time on there contract to carry on playing and sell in the future.
Can see the thinking behind it, but I agree the wrong decision was made2 -
It's all supposition .. for all we know Keogh might have been egging the boys on to drink up and then have a car race/chase .. he certainly looks and acts daft enough to do such thing .. I doubt he'd'a been sacked before the owners took good legal advice1

If Keogh was 24 and had 4 years left on his deal, he'd never have been sacked.
But at 34 this summer, a serious long term injury and he may not even play again. Goodbye.2 -
Just like how he drives...Lincsaddick said:A (presumably) sober Bennet was doing well for Millwall during his loan spell .. Rowett had him playing out a bit wider rather than down the middle .. I'm surprised as playing for Derby he always looked fecking useless, possibly perhaps because he was always brahms and lizst1
