No wonder he was in tears

The whole thing has been reported on in shambolic fashion, been damaging for everyone and if it turns out it was just some poker / blackjack then it’s been a farce

What the fuck? Shot dead near the stadium? Honestly man, everything feels on the edge of spiralling right now

This seems like a crazy blow-up if it is just poker and blackjack. Surely, for it to be getting this much of an investigation there must be some fairly major signs that some players have done some seriously dodgy stuff. Whole thing is just really odd until we get more information

The fuck is going on in Italy? I’m sure it’s true of many places too but how is it so institutionalised? Surely there must be legal betting options they could have gone for which would have given them the same dopamine hit?

This Fagioli lad needs a slap

Not going to believe anything until we’ve had our resident ITK @TBG clear things up

Seeing a lot of Man U Twitter Soopafans pointing the finger at Alex Ferguson for where they are today with the Glazers. A deal with the devil

The only thing was him supposedly cheating on his wife

Looks like he’s in training for the next Expendables film

Anyone know the legal side of it? Do footballers have clauses built into contracts where if they commit illegal betting it can be classed as gross misconduct? Would be a disaster either way as I’m sure we can’t recoup the Milan fee unless they knew about it

Not sure to be honest, I’ve read three year max a few times but when I heard it, it was before the betting claims were clearer

Maximum, not minimum

Fuck, well that explains his response then. Hmm, if he’s bet on his own team then he needs to serve a solid ban

Long liberating cry? This whole thing is so odd. He’s clearly not crying or if is, it’s because he’s terrified of the potential to be banned from football. He’s clearly done something illegal from Italy’s perspective but if it’s not football related then surely it’ll be a fine and that’s it, no? No idea what their jurisdiction is

Ratcliffe’s a snake

Definitely needs a stand in his name

Stupid idiots man

Wet ‘n’ Wank

From the murmurings around this, it’s sounding relatively tame like. At least for now. Needs to be investigated though and if he’s done a Toney or Paqueta then a ban’s fair enough. Bit different if he’s just been betting on other sports though, if that’s an offence then that’s a bit absurd

Those flame emojis, praise doesn’t come higher

I don’t have an issue with gambling in casinos and I don’t have an issue with people gambling on sports. I just don’t think there should be a single bit of advertising allowed in any media and there should be major regulations in place to stop betting agencies exploiting vulnerable people. I think gambling on the sport you play in any form should just be a blanket ban

Quite like this

Is it not just that they’re bored as fuck and rich? Gambling gives an immediate dopamine response. Think some footballers just want to feel something then get addicted

It’s ridiculous that Croatia haven’t scored with the chances they’ve had. Maybe they’re finally starting to fade away as a side
