ffs

[Mystic Mock]

Obviously a very stupid thing to do if he is found to be guilty.

[Calderyon]

He won't be going to Qatar now.

Very True

I don’t get why a multi millionaire is risking everything by illegal gambling ..

Unless he’s a gambling addict and simply couldn’t help himself … 232 times

Such a shame as he presents as such a nice bloke plus he’d probably be starting alongside Harry Kane in my dream team .


He’s unlucky this all blew up now and not in another month or so

He was having such a good season and would have been going to the World Cup without this is I think. God knows when he'll even be playing for Brentford again now, expect this will be a long suspension

[Mystic Mock]

In fairness to him was he betting on games where his side would be playing?

Because imo that should be taken into account when it comes to if he has been cheating or not.

[bitontheslide]

if it was 1 or 2 bets, he would probably have got away with it, but 232 .... he is ****ed

[LeatherTrumpet]

3 month ban incoming

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has accepted breaking Football Association betting rules ahead of his appearance before a disciplinary panel.

It means the 26-year-old is potentially facing a lengthy ban.

Toney was charged with 232 breaches in November and a further 30 in December.

It is understood he has admitted many of the offences but is contesting others. FA rule E8 bans players from betting on games, or sharing information for betting purposes.

The alleged breaches took place between 25 February 2017 and 23 January 2021, during which time Toney represented Scunthorpe United, Wigan Athletic, Peterborough United and Brentford.

The forward has scored 14 goals in 21 Premier League games this season, helping Brentford to ninth in the table and leaving them in contention for European qualification.

However, any ban for Toney could dent their chances of playing European football next season.

It would also affect the forward's chances of an England call-up with European Championship qualification games against Ukraine and Italy coming up in March.

Toney made Gareth Southgate's squad last autumn, though he was not in the 26-man party which travelled to the World Cup in Qatar.

England defender Kieran Trippier was banned for 10 weeks by the FA in December 2020 for giving out information for others to bet on his transfer from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid.

In 2017, Joey Barton - then a Burnley player - was banned for 18 months, reduced to 13 on appeal, after admitting placing 1,260 football-related bets over a 10-year period.

3 months would be my guess, maybe 6. Shame when he and Brentford are playing so well but he's made his own bed, hopefully he's learned his lesson now

[Zizu]

He’s had a sh1tty time after missing out on the World Cup ( pity the offences didn’t come to light a few weeks later ) so I think he’d take a 6 month ban ( cough holiday)

Sign a huge contract with one of the top teams during the layoff .. then kickstart his career in the new season
