He fronted a good documentary about the gambling industry and addiction. He met families of people who committed suicide after losing their last pennies etc. I didn't have a problem or anything with gambling up to that point, but it (along with people in my own life) made me completely stop participating in such an awful industry.

Sports betting in your own league is, and that's why he'll get the book thrown at him. What’s that got to do with Paul merson working for sky sports?

Well I have no problem with Merson working with Sky Sports other than he's shit. Getting away from his lack of credibility as a tv pundit though, there is a difference between alcohol addiction and gambling addiction (in this particular case) as it's illegal. Being an alcoholic isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 If he does get a ban, which feels inevitable now, we need to make the most of it. Make sure his English is brilliant for when he returns, make sure he watches hours and hours of footage to familiarise himself with our style. Then when he returns he will be raring to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It'll be interesting to see if AC Milan knew about all this with Tonali. When I look back I do remember all kinds of rumours he didn't want to go from Milan but they did seem keen to offload him. Obviously it's just all speculation by me....but. If we lose him for the season we can take it on the chin but if he gets a 3 year ban then it's game over. Will Newcastle be left well out of pocket? I'd like to think we won't be. I'll wait and see what comes out in the wash and decide as to what I might think of Tonali. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Anyone got the clip of him scoring against Villa? Bang to rights if he had himself down as first goal scorer, any time goal scorer, shot on target and or shot on goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I think there will be a drastic change in any contracts from this point on for any player sighing for a club. Loads of things like this covered and a whole lot more, most likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) I agree that its a problem that he needs professional support for and I am all for us sticking by him through this, however I find it hard to fully sympathise and relate him to the same level the average person with a gambling addiction who's regular income isn't anywhere near the same. These players earn a lifetime's worth of money in a single month. You'd think he would have been able to get top of the line help for this problem with the money he was earning. There are others out there that can't financially afford getting that help. Just stupidity man. Edited October 18, 2023 by Amir_9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
