janpawel Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 If Milan indeed new this was coming, then what's the likelihood that Tonali knew too? 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.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 1 minute ago, Pilko said: The point where it got too far was the goalkeeper eating the pie on TV cos the Sun offered 7/1 that he'd do it. In that situation he either eats the pie and wins loads of people money or doesn't eat the pie and makes the newspaper/bookie a mint. He was aware of it so whichever he chooses he's technically "influencing the outcome" even if he sits and does nowt. Totally agree with your post btw. Aye I was just searching out the link for exactly that, absolute joke. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41181979 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.
