I thought i read somewhere, he is up for a DIC charge at a NSW court some time this month. Obviously he won't be there in person.

Details were quite vague at the time. He was caught DIC of a golf cart, but was he still with in the boundary of the compound they were at, or was he actually out on the street with the golf cart. 

Its pretty hard for everyone to make judgement when they don't know all the facts. That being said I didn't hear his apology on radio sport and if there was any detail confirmed in that interview.

He's not going to be pulled over by the cops for driving around on private property. He was driving on a public road inland from Manly beach.

They have to sell papers? Looks along way to Oxford Falls Rd 

"driving a golf cart while drunk and shirtless on the Wakehurst Parkway on Sydney's northern beaches at 1am " 

"near Oxford Falls Road."  Sauce

A lot of Cycle and walk ways through this area I believe

“Despite reports to the contrary, initial investigations have found that Tim Payne was not arrested during the incident and no member of the public was involved. Sauce

I think the person who questioned it should now agree it was not in the residential property? 

Unless  that's the most expensive piece of real estate in the world?

The amount of dumbness posted in his support makes me wonder if we should actually move to level 2

If he was on a public road - No Ozzy police officer would not have arrested a driver of a vehicle under the influence no matter where he came from in a vehicle he had no permission to use in that way.  Dumbness

Probably just as much rubbish as those posting for his execution.

I wonder how that charge now affects his ability to travel into aussie?

Yes, the conviction certainly won't help. I think he'll probably need to apply for a visa to enter Australia (rather than just turning up with NZ passport), and it'll be in the hands of Aus immigration officials from there.

Does Aussie law allow people to be discharged without a conviction but just fine him & bar him from driving in Aussie?

Yes, you can get discharge without conviction for driving offences in NSW. The following are relevant factors for consideration:

The court must consider the following matters when deciding whether to grant a section 10 dismissal:

(a) the person’s character, antecedents (ie history), age, health and mental condition,

(b) the trivial nature of the offence,

(c) the extenuating circumstances in which the offence was committed, and

(d) any other matter that the court thinks proper to consider.

Arguably all of the first three factors could be made relevant by a decent lawyer.

Given some of the stuff NRL players who have needed visas have done yet still been able to play,you would have think Tim would be okay hopefully.

I mean a 4 week suspension isn't exactly light but I agree that $700 is really not much of a fine for a pro footballer - even though sure he won't be on a lot of money.

you're not fined for who you are though, or what you can afford unless you can't and I assume that is considered. You'll probably find that the $700 fine was the appropriate fine for the offence.

exclusion it's different and you don't have to do much to get excluded from the convict country

And it's not laughable

Plus the courts ruling on drink diving and the ramifications to immigration are completely different 

Apparently there were tears not laughter from Tim. Did you wonder why he was crying?

If you secure residence of NZ and you get done donedrink driving, then you usually are liable for deportation 

So wake up before you have a laugh and treat it seriously

Thought I might continue the conversation about Payney’s value from the Borgini thread.

I know it’s not really a thing, but transfermarkt puts Payne as worth €450k and Behich worth €300k. 

I think that’s mostly down to Payne being a few years younger. But I’m not convinced that Behich is streets ahead of Payne. 

Behich has obviously had the more impressive career in terms of clubs, but returning to play in the A league he hasn’t noticeably bossed it. In fact, at times he’s been visibly frustrated at how he hasn’t been able to dominate as easily as he’d like. 

I think another factor that makes Payne valuable, but at the same time makes people discount him is his versatility. He is a header winning, last ditch blocking centre back who revels in a physical contest. He also hits a great long pass and early cross. 

As we’ve seen though, he’s also a player of vision and technical skill. He’s capable of playing one-touch football and hitting bending through passes in behind or flat rocket square passes or cutbacks. In partnership with Kosta and others this has been his strength recently. He’s alto an athlete prepared to make gut busting runs into the back post. 

Another reason is people over value dribbling. While Payne can run into space or down the line he can’t really take a player one v one. 
However when you look at his varied skill set, he has more than enough to be a ruddy handful for a defense. I think we undervalue that when watching.

Yup Payne can do all that... inconsistently... otherwise he'd be in a league better than ours.

Only thing I could find easily was a PFA report from 2010 that said if the injury was season ending or going to be longer than 6 weeks, that a team could. Don't know if that has changed in 15 years though.
