Checko Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Hanshithispantz said: I get what you're saying but I just don't think criminal cases fit at all like. For one, in actual criminal cases there's generally a limit to the scope of investigation isn't there? Like of someone was found to have burgled 7 ASDAs and was charged, would the police then sift through his life just to find out if he'd burgled more? He lived in Leeds for a couple of years, maybe they should run an intense investigation of burgleries down there during his time spent? Maybe he also killed someone? He's a wrongun after all. Tbf I only said it was a 'bit like', it wasn't meant to be an exact comparison of the offences and international legal systems - I've just confused things more than anything The point of the analogy was just to emphasise that the FA is apparently looking into potential new offences in the UK, not the same ones that have already been looked at, so it's not double jeopardy, and the fact that he's already being punished for similar offences in Italy doesn't mean he automatically shouldn't get further punishment for new offences in the Uk. Just as, if you commit driving offences in Italy and then move to England and commit driving offences in England, they're separate offences and can be looked at and punished separately, which is why the FA could be looking into things. The analogy's not meant to be any deeper than that! Re: your point on the police - Yeah I think there needs to be some good reason for the FA to open an investigation. They shouldn't just be snooping on people willy nilly. That said wasn't part of his evidence that betting on his own team to win became almost a superstition/compulsion? If that's true then it seems a realistic possibility he might have bet on Newcastle while he was here. Probably enough to warrant at least making some enquiries.

Kanji Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Of course. All the more reason for him to knuckle down in training and keep fit, get stronger, learn every bit of tactical work he can from our coaching staff and learn English even more. He needs to look like his leader / captain self he was previously to joining us when he’s back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he has had much/any physical exertion, but mentally he probably needs some time away from everything. Just for fuck sake someone make sure there are no betting apps on his phone.
