And if Tonali knew, do we really want a player who (if the above is true) basically used us to take the punishment rather than Milan, essentially sabotaging us? I'm not saying this is true or my line of thought, it's just an angle I haven't seen many discuss.. If the stories are true, looks just as likely that Fagioli squealed on his mates once he was caught Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 If he's just bet on them winning it's daft like, that's the point of his job regardless of backing himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 There really is no defending betting on your own team when you are involved in the games. Absolutely idiotic, deserves whatever comes his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as bad as Pacqueta's betting in my eyes thats for sure. I mean having £50 on your team to win shouldnt really make you try harder than you would anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 A player betting on the team he plays for winning is no better than betting on them to lose - again, he opens himself to questions of insider knowledge. What if members of the opposition had agreed to throw the game? He would be aware of this. Again, it isn’t that this has happened - it is that the player opens themselves up to the being a potential outcome. It is absolutely fucking moronic.
