True Azure 1,414 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm sure it would not take Mr Lunny very long to compile a similar list and apply the same rules to those on the said list. I do not however believe that Mr Lunny has any appetite or inclination in pursuing the other known foolballers and officials who continually flout the rule he is using to sanction Ian Black. I also wonder if Ian Black's legal representative will be seeking to gain access to Mr Lunny's files on this matter to ascertain if he, or any Ladbrokes employee have broken the Data Protection Act 1998, and if so what action can be taken against them?

In my opinion, black must have been taking them for a right few quid and they got pissed off.

I am sure Mr Lunny could get an even bigger list from the bookies rather than the one Ally has but he wont be interested. There are other threads on here where Laddies have claimed they have highlighted illegal betting. Fair play but they should be revealing every player as should the SFA be bringing the charges. Rangers and McCoist have done well here. I would play Black tomorrow and keep this line on the other players up. Easy to get the question asked at the press conference. Lunny is a vindictive bassa amongst other things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Azure 1,414 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I do not believe that this was reported to Lunny by some morally outraged Ladbrokes employee but by some Sellik minded Ladbrokes employee who in my mind has therefore broken the Data Protection Act 1998.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well spoken Ally, and I'd go as far to say myself, even if Ally doesn't want to comment, that this targeting of Ian Black is more than hypocricy, it's down right bias within the SFA and Recunt must go, and go now.half wit wasting Scottish teams money on this.

centre mid 3 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 So what if ian black bets against team he's playing for. If his team wins he get's win bonus if it doesn't he get's a nice one aff the bookies. It doesn't mean he's trying to throw the game single handled fuck. Youd need half a team for that.

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Strange that they say he's been betting since 2006 but wait until he's a Rangers player before acting on it or maybe this season has kicked off too nicely for him and they've decided to nail him,dhurty tricks me thinks.WATP.

The Educator 1,572 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think he SFA & Mr Lunney may have made a real mistake with this move. When there is so much information readily available that others have been betting on Football the decision to go after Black will only confirm in any even handed observers mind that there is indeed a witch hunt going on against Rangers. Otherwise they would have pulled in a group of players from across the divisions.If it emerges over the next week or so the match officials have been betting on football then they will either have to go after everybody or collapse their own case against Black to try and carry out a damage limitation exercise. It has been pointed out that Ladbrokes have an agreement to inform the SFA of any suspicious betting that may well be the case, however it doesn't stand up to close scrutiny in this case. The charges that Black has against him date from 2006 through till 2013. Why did Ladbrokes wait until now to report Black to the SFA? What was so suspicious this time round? It seem that they are saying that Black put on a £5 accumulator where he bet that Rangers would draw a game that he actually scored in and ruined his own bet. It would have been more suspicious if he had scored an own goal, but no he scored for Rangers and busted his own bet. When this story is being reported they are saying he bet against Rangers, if that is so he would have bet that we would lose the game not draw it. Perhaps they see a player betting that his team will draw as more suspicious then if he had actually bet that the team would lose. So there we have it Ladbrokes finally after seven years realised that they were supposed to contact the SFA and only did so when he bet that the team would draw. I agree it is suspicious, it is suspicious that they reported him at this particular time, it is suspicious that the SFA were so quick to get their shot into the press and it is also suspicious that once again the SFA use a Rangers player as a marker for a disciplinary case when there are so many others engaged in betting and making it known to all via Facebook and Twitter.Wouldn't it be funny if we were to find out that maybe Mr's Lunney, Doncaster or Regan also liked a wee coupon now and again. Now that really would put the cat amongst the pigeons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
