Northern Echo did one the other week which basically read “Newcastle Prem star out for three weeks!” When you clicked on the article it was Gordon being banned for the West Ham game

From the article posted earlier

If that’s the case there will surely be some sort of amnesty - short of spot fixing or corruption I can’t see them banning 50 players.

Reading further on in that article it appears that their names have come up after they police have seized Fagoli’s phone. Wonder what the burden of proof is in a case like this.

Favourite for Gillingham job

Ah you’re right serves me right for taking Google’s except of the FA website. What I’ve said only applies to below the conference it seems. Ah well every day is a school day. https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/policies/betting-rules#:~:text=No Participant can bet on,passing inside information for betting.

As I posted a while back the restrictions on gambling in Italy for players are more restrictive than over here. If he bets on a Serie C match he’s breaking the rules there. If it’s not breaching the rules here I can’t see them punishing him. Hard to say until there is more details.

he’s better than Saka loves an Acca and he never backs Sunderland

The fans won’t boo him Someone will make a chant about it and it will be sung for the rest of the season.

Sorry if already mentioned but it’s worth pointing out that betting rules in Italy are much stricter than in the UK. In the UK you are not allowed to bet on a competition you are directly involved in whereas in Italy you cannot bet on any games organised by FIGC, UEFA and FIFA - basically all of it. I remember Buffon, Maresca and a few others being investigated for it ages ago and it was eventually dropped. Fully depends on the details but if he has broken Italian rules but not FA rules he’d probably be okay. What Toney did is effectively banned in all leagues which is why he’s not been loaned elsewhere. You’d imagine if there was suspicion of criminal wrongdoing they wouldn’t have just let them return to their clubs. Story has blown up there and it seems they just want them as far away from it ahead of their important Euro qualifiers.

Will be funny when Vardy inevitably gets a hat trick vs Birmingham, hope he has a celebration ready

all the YouTube clips seem to be in terrible quality unfortunately

DFB are inexplicably doing a US tour during the international break. Sule, Hummels, Brandt and Füllkrug all in the squad. Not ideal preparation for the resumption of club football. Hopefully some fatigue and injuries. Seems a bit crazy, can you imagine if England did that? There would be massive kick offs.

Nico Williams

That seems a very smart move

That’s the Anzhi game we won 1-0 I was expecting a slightly more famous game when I googled the date

Actually seemed quite quick watching that, felt like an eternity in the ground

Would he get in our team?

foiled by the bing fun police for the umpteenth time

Can you post the results for those not on Twitter?

Minus jobbie as Bing Image creator doesn’t think we can handle that
