Think it was Le Tissier who subsequently admitted to attempting something like that. Merson just bet on everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hadn't clicked with me that he was still with us when he started. Probably Big Mike's betting mule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if someone competing for his spot got wind of it and had their agent let it slip. Southgate clearly was unaware when he picked him for the two games prior to the tournament. Wonder if it was during that time it was leaked or just recently. He’s been investigated over the last 7 or 8 months, reports have stated. Southgate picked him for the last squad obviously knowing full well this was occurring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I saw it reported there was no suggestion Toney betted on his own games or was involved in match fixing, which I thought were the kind of things you would think a lifetime ban was for, would have thought it would be closer to Barton or Tripps punishment, albeit that is a lot of offences...

TBF, if the England manager could only pick whiter than white players, the squad would have been be a bit thin on the ground over recent years, noting the amount of dodgy shithouses we've had: Rooney - Granny whore marriage cheat Gerrard - Assault, supporting a would-be-murderer, organised crime, all round cunt Beckham - Corruption for honours, oil patsy Terry - Racist all round criminal shitbag Johnson - Convicted nonce Wio Ferdinand - Druggy Cashley Cole- Mobile phone buggery pervert Fowler - Bit of sniff Gazza - All the drugs and booze, wife beater Le Tiss, Merson, Adams - Dodgy gambling Les Ferdinand - Not a shithouse at all, but trashed the Blue Peter garden Toney is a saint compared to plenty of others.

What a mess. Shame for IT but maybe he plays next tournament and becomes our Paolo Rossi 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey47 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Always wondered how footballers make these bets on football. They obviously can't put it in their name or even have the money linked in anyway to any of their accounts. My first guess would be that they tell their friends what to bet on? If so how do they get caught in the end? Or do I just have it all completely wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Toney aside, this could absolutely destroy Brentford if he gets a significant ban. I quite like them to be honest, more so than most clubs in the PL, shame it couldn’t have been Anthony Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Brentford are well-run with a good manager and have January ahead of them to find a replacement; I don't think they're definitely going to sink off the back of this. Everything from 9th in the table downwards seems pretty changeable at the moment; it's difficult to tell which bunch are going to emerge as the relegation pack.
