Troll Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's a novelty bet, it shouldn't be under the jurisdiction of the FA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Having to resign for eating a pie ffs Mind, an EasyJet cabin worker got fired for eating a bacon sandwich. Was it yours? Nope. https://www.hrgrapevine.com/content/article/2017-01-16-easyjet-dismiss-employee-for-eating-bacon-sandwich Did you note both EasyJet and Ikea were shown to be in the wrong? As are the FA & the club here. He's clearly broken the rules though, you can't make exceptions for it. Maybe it's a case that the rule needs to be changed if there is one. What is the anti-betting rule on eating a pie or any food whilst sat on the bench out of interest? It'll be this bit: It prevents participants covered by the ban from betting, either directly or indirectly, on any football match or competition, including the passing of "inside information". That doesn't cover eating a pie in my eyes. I think he should challenge it. I reckon he'd be better off handing in his resignation and riding off into the sunset. Then immediately signing a contract with Talk Sport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sacked for that man. You'll have to ban bet firms from any novelty bets in future. Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Having to resign for eating a pie ffs It's a shame Carver didn't have to when he admitted he was "eating a pie at the time" when Pards told him to do the press after his last match before he left. Would have saved half a season of having to watch him lick his lips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's harsh that he's lost his job, like, cos it's harmless. But it was a bit dim of him to get involved when the rules are pretty well-known. Even if it's barely even a 'football bet', it would have been a lot smarter to just ignore the temptation for megabantz when it was always likely to be questioned in terms of the rules of the game. I can see why Sutton have binned him off for those reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 surely he can't win? - Sits on the bench and eats pie: wins people money, looks shady - Sits on the bench and doesn't eat pie: makes The Sun money, looks shady What a complete load of bollocks. Yes, it's unprofessional that he's eaten a pie during a serious big match, and that's literally the only thing he should be told off for. Sacked for it, ffs. Our ex-manager headbutted a player and got a slap on the wrist and a fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This has probably been done by the club so they can rid of him on the cheap as they can afford a better backup GK now with the money they've made from the cup run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 FWIW the Sutton manager was on Five Live earlier and he wasn't happy with that keeper at all, not least because of how badly it reflected on him and his coaching staff that a player would be on the bench eating shite. Said it was just really ill-advised, can't argue with that. Imagine if they end up being fined for it, could wipe out a load of their income from this run.
