Rumours were doing the rounds on Sunday but today came confirmation that CARDIFF CITY striker Ross McCormack was arrested and subsequently charged with drink-driving and will appear in Cardiff Magistrates Court on November 9 charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
This followed an accident in which, thankfully, nobody else was involved at almost 4am last Sunday. Ross is believed to have crased into roadside fencing outside the Cardiff Bay Harvester restaurant whilst heading home, he is understood to live near-by. There are rumours that his distinctive top of the range Range Rover with personalised plates was also written off in the collision.
The incident came hours after McCormack, as a late sub, started the move for Cardiff's stunning and decisive goal in the 4-3 win at Sheffield. He returned to South Wales with the squad after that match but went his own way.
Cardiff City wished to distance themselves at present, especially as a court case is yet to be heard, saying that they were aware of the incident but would not be commenting because it was a personal matter.
McCormack has had an unhappy start to the season after publicly courting a transfer to "Premiership" Hull City, injuring himself at Blackpool in August missing City and Scotland World Cup games over the past 2 months and finding his return to the side blocked by the current outstanding form and results of the side. I will await outcome of the trial before making any judgement.
