Love the pie eating sub goalie

Looks like he's in trouble with the FA, as he was aware that people were betting on it. I hope they'll leave it at a telling off.

Did Arsenal really use those showers they showed, after the match? I remember when Accrington played premiership Fulham in the 4th round 7 years ago. They arrived at the ground 15 minutes before the game in their full kit,as they'd got changed at a local 4 star hotel where they were staying. Straight after the game they got on their coach and went back to the hotel to use their showers. According to the Fulham manager (Roy Hodgson) our facilities were "abysmal"!

I think it was the chamber pots they objected to.

Why were they betting on it? Is it something that he does do but not every game?

Maybe they bet on the particular flavour each game, weird lot

 

[potsy]

And he's now resigned.

such a shame but in hindsight it is a silly thing to do.
The bookmaker offering the odds should also be punished and this type of spot be should be banned. It is too easy to influence the outcome.

City 5 Monaco 3

What a great game to watch - packed with incident and bonkers football. Brilliant!

 

[Slick]

It was, great game. Didn't see city getting a win out of that little lot. Nothing decided yet though, and I'm already looking forward to seeing the 2nd leg.

The mighty Shrimpers move up to 5th after a 4-1 win away at Peterbro'
Bottom two after 12 games seems a long while ago.....

This Sutton goalkeeper business. Can someone tell me. Was he sacked for being seen eating a pasty or for betting irregularities? News reports seem to start off with the pie bit,then waffle on about the betting stuff.


Anyway,i've just heard he weighs 23 stones!

 

[Reynard]

Well he certainly had a good sized pair of moobs

Last night's Accy v Cambridge game was rained off. I don't think the 100+ supporters making the near 200 mile trip up from Cambridge would've been happy.

Basically a bookie was running 8-1 that he'd eat a pie on camera. From the fact that he's resigned it would appear he knew about this but denies placing a bet himself. If it's found that he agreed to do it with someone who subsequently placed a bet, the Gaming Commission will be unhappy.

At first, and I thought this, it seems a bit inconsequential but deeper in it's not much different from match fixing.

The bookies that ran the bet were SunBet, they were also the same company that sponsored Sutton Utd.

It was a specific bet that they offered too which went to the tune of '8/1 Wayne Shaw will be seen eating a pie during the game between Sutton and Arsenal'

There was another specific bet that came up for the game between Chelsea and Liverpool the other month

Although quite amusing, it is still fraudulent, the same as the pie incident. (Not my bet btw !!)
