There's an irony in him laundering his reputation with that absolute charlatan Bartlett, but yeah, even then he plays fast and loose with 'I did not do' and 'I don't recall' then gives himself a pat on the back for taking responsibility. EDIT: Having now watched it all, I had a few other thoughts. Firstly, I believe a genuine recovering addict wouldn't seek pity for their punishment. Accepting the consequences of your actions is typically one of the first steps. He cites missing out on the World Cup as the real punishment, but that's not how it works. The same is true with his claims of 'well I bet on myself to score'. He ignores that by placing a bet that stands to benefit himself (and potentially others) he has impacted the integrity of the contest. His decisions will likely be influenced. It's not like a goal bonus because that's an additional sum he gains when he scores on top of his salary. He doesn't actively lose money if he fails to score. He doe if he bets on himself to score. I think we have significant work to do on the link between gambling and football, but there's a moment in this interview where Bartlett cites a tweet in which Toney said he'd 'tell it unfiltered' or words to that effect. You see Toney hesitate, pause, and then deliver a word salad with no great direction. I could go on, but Toney knew speaking to a non-journalist would afford him a platform and a string of soft ball questions.

Pilko Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 This Paqueta stuff is infuriating when I recall that I needed him to get a yellow for about a grand in the 1-1 draw at home last season and for the last half an hour the cunt barely made a fucking tackle. Suppose the Brazilian betting syndicate were on holiday that weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 What would happen to the players should Everton fold mid season? an administrator would need to sell off as many as possible but of course would be restricted by a transfer window. if they just cease to be or cannot fulfil games would the players need to wait until the next transfer window before going on a free? isn’t the FFP ruling due around October? Fine or points deduction could see them off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
