From memory, think 50a is a fortiori and think insensate is right. Hope tt helps.

Insensate is correct...Inns (boozers) ate (scoffed) about SE (south and east-bridge players)

Thank you all so much. My heart sank when Slaney suggested detriment as it left an i at the end of 50ac. Have to say this crossword's really stretched me & I wouldn't have completed it without you. I'm so grateful.
