It is really for people listening to the programme this morning. There is no problem repeating it because it is so important. Zero tolerance is the only way. I have been involved in football all my life and I have a family. The morning after is the issue. I have children of my own. People going to work the next day after having a few drinks the night before do not realise they are over the limit. If we can save just one life, it is worth it. It is a matter of continuing to educate people.
