Your splitting hairs really, match fixing and betting on games even though you aren’t involved is still not allowed. Greedy which ever way you look at it.

They were all banned for match fixing, not for simply gambling on games. Some of them admitted ensuring that their teams lost the game to ensure the outcome. There’s no evidence that’s anything like what Toney was doing. Edited January 19 by Hasta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re entitled to your opinion which I fully respect. Mine is that he is leading the life that many can only dream of but it obviously isn’t enough for him. Playing black Jack or roulette or backing horses is one thing, but betting on football matches when he knows it’s not allowed is another. One reason for the rule is, although he isn’t involved in the matches, who’s to say a mate of his is involved and they split the winnings. It’s because a scenario like that is possible that it isn’t allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only pointing out that your statement about “Once upon a time when the football authorities had balls, players caught gambling were given life time bans” is very misleading and inaccurate. I fully get why footballers gambling isn’t allowed and get the points you make above. He’s broke the rules and served a ban. The ban could potentially have been longer to be fair. But a lifetime ban would have been way OTT. Edited January 19 by Hasta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllRoverAsia Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I see Henderson has bailed out after making a quick financial killing in Saudi. No doubt having signed a NDA. He's so full of crap but in the Dutch league, at best Championship level overall, he might cope. I hope Southgate has chucked his phone number in the bin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Doubt it, Henderson playing at lower league level and Kalvin Phillips just doesn’t play and they are certs for his squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverholmes Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Just saw latest transfers and see that Brighton have sent a young Romanian winger to Vitesse Arnhem, having signed him previously and sent him back on loan to his Romanian club. Meanwhile, Villa have signed a Red Star Belgrade player and sent him back on loan there immediately. I can't help be struck by the incredible contrast of these Premiership clubs investing in global young players and developing them out on loan. This is a separate development programme which plans for seasons ahead, alongside their academy and their first team. Meanwhile, Rovers, in the second tier, are operating on the short-term of bringing in young players on loan just to stay in the league, spending money on loan fees and wages, only for the player to disappear in a few months and any added value going to the club they are contracted to. It's increasingly two different worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
