Lets all laugh at Newcastle

If this is true why such a delay in the FA charging him ? Seems odd to me unless something else has come to light.

Remember you are talking about the FA here.
Incompetence comes to mind- but who knows?

Given the last day of his charge is the same day he was questioned by Italian police over gambling(meaning he placed a bet that day) & apparently bet Newcastle games over the period of time he’s charged for, he 100% should receive an additional penalty.

I have sympathy for him after the Merson doc. Clearly not about money, more chasing dopamine rushes.

I have sympathy for what Merson said and what he’s been though. But I still think someone betting on football should be punished, it opens the door to all sorts of dodgy stuff like betting on your own games and bookings etc.

I get they’re addicted and I get that they almost can’t help themselves, but it’s not like there aren’t myriad other things they could bet on without getting themselves in trouble like this.

Yes, what Tonoli is accused of is close to match fixing.

You know, we all have dopamine rushes but some of us control it because not doing so could lead to breaking trust, rules or even the law.

Where do you draw the line at sympathy unless someone is so mentally impaired that they need incarceration to protect potential victims.

Sounds harsh. Very harsh. But why should there be different rules for people.

If this clip proves as dodgy as it looks, he deserves a long ban. It’s cheating as opposed to having a betting addiction.

poor fucker and not easily replaced with where they are in relation to FFP. They need to sell to buy and there's's some gaps opening up in their squad.
