The footballer gets arrested thread

[Sutekh]

Akins jailed for 14 months. Plenty of time to ponder his shortcomings. And a 5-1 drubbing to end his career. oxf*rd.

Lucas Akins hasn’t played for Mansfield since last season. Incident happened while he was playing for Huddersfield in 2022. He’s now got 7 months in clink plus another 7 months out on licence to look forward to, not to mention the year’s ban from driving. Given he’s now 36 it’s a bit of a different way to retire.

Is this a woosh? He hasn't played for Mansfield since Monday when he started for them against Reading.

Did you see the game? I rest my case

And the Mansfield fans were complaining that they played 1 up with a striker who's only scored 2 goals in 33 appearances this season.

MORTON striker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been charged in connection with the seizure of around 60 kilos of cannabis at a London airport.

The 33-year-old, of Cardwell Road in Gourock, was detained and questioned by National Crime Agency (NCA) officers after drugs worth an estimated £600,000 were detected in suitcases by Border Force officers on September 2.

He has been remanded in custody and is expected to appear before Carlisle Magistrates later today, accused of importing class B drugs.

Baffles me how anyone can be so stupid as to travel as a passenger with a suitcase full of drugs and think you have any chance of picking it up off the carousel and walking out with it as if the bag is full of dirty clothes. The level of screening, intelligence and screening means it’s just a ridiculous thing to try

Pleads guilty to the charge - still to be sentenced

Thrown his whole life away now, brilliant.

Former United full-back Brandon Williams convicted of dangerous driving and driving without insurance. He reached 100mph on an A-road and collided with another car - thankfully no-one seriously injured.

As much as our jails are nearly full - I don't feel like the suspended jail sentence he received is harsh enough, at all.

Been without a club for about a year now

Wiki says of the incident:

On 20 August 2023, Williams was involved in a traffic collision near Handforth. He was subsequently charged with dangerous driving and driving without insurance. On 14 March 2025 Williams pleaded guilty at Chester Crown Court to dangerous driving and driving without third party insurance.

On 3 May 2024, Williams was disqualified from driving after accumulating 30 points on his licence. [almost as many as United this season]

On 23 May 2025, he was sentenced to a 14-month jail term, suspended for two years.
