JM1872 3,705 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 He has breached rule 22, but there is no evidence to suggest he has breached the other rule which involves actions to determine the outcome of a match - such as making wayward passes often, scoring own goals etc - to produce a beneficial result for himself or a third party.It's not difficult to understand.

tannerall 25,935 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Would expect a statement from the club rather than the player on this. If there is any basis would possibly expect the club to suspend him in meantime. I'll wait until the facts are clearer but its just another awful situation we could do without..

RFC55 108,725 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 How can you be charged with something there's no evidence for?Fuck knows how they can even let it go 7 year though However online betting sites share details of bets with FA's etc if they believe there's an irregularity. So it could be his online betting site has alerted them.However I don't know if it was online or in the bookies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtmuir 3 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There's no evidence that he has been involved in match fixing but given they have a specific number of bets over a number of years then they must have the evidence for the first rule.

Wilbert 416 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There's no indication that it's us he bet against us, all it's said on ssn is the then registered club. It said he bet over 100 times on said club so it could be Hearts or Caley Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It's a bit murky this whole betting thing in football! Townsend and jerome have both been fined recently with it so they must be trying to clamp down....if it transpires this happened years ago then questions will need to be asked why they have waited until now to do anything about it but as others have said we will need to wait and get the facts first!

tannerall 25,935 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Regarding the ways of the SFA, wonder if similar focus has been put on other players throughout the country over the last 7 years, or if they only found just the one player in that 7 year period who bet on football games.
