AlCapone 7,678 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Fuck off Wayne Shaw agrees to leave Sutton Utd after investigations are opened into his pie eating during the club's game against Arsenal. The reserve goalkeeper admitted he knew Sun Bets were offering 8-1 odds on him eating the pastry prompting the Gambling Commission and the Football Association to look into whether the incident broke any rules. Sutton United manager Paul Doswell told Sky News he had asked Shaw to leave the club and he had agreed. Nicknamed the 'Roly Poly Goalie' because of his 20st weight, 46-year-old Shaw was also employed as part of the coaching team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverAndEver 71,363 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Tried to take the piss out of him, so he wins people the bet, apparently they don't pay out, and now he virtually gets sacked. Embarrassing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philiprfc 1,799 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Fair enough he shouldn't have done it, but it's grossly irresponsible of the bookies to do that imo. Essentially taking the piss out of him cause of his weight, I'd have told all my mates to put it on and done the same. Fuck them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Was there really anyone in the whole of Britain or any institution who could possibly have been offended or felt victimised by that ? Guy was just having a laugh at his own expense, and letting others have a laugh in the process whilst helping publicise his team, the FA cup and the Bookies themselves in a friendly way. Win, win all round. Bookies should be making a big effort to sort it out. What the fuck is wrong in this country ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He admitted that he knew about the odds and that a "few of the boys" had bet on it so admittedly it looks a bit shady but ridiculous that he's lost his job through it.

Ridiculous only comes in when bookies (scum of the earth) create stupid unprofessional bets then get the knock when someone out maneuvers them in the taking the piss stakes. It should be a two way thing. I'm sure they were going to be quite happy taking the money if ithe pie eating did not happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 And as for the "Gambling Commision" getting involved, who actually are they ? An "independent" organisation endorsed by a civil service and government which has a total self interest in providing maximium revenue to the government and protecting their interests in gambling taxes from mugs who have been taken advantage of.. Bit like the SFA being allowed to run Scottish football, or Glasgow Council allocating funding on an equal basis to Glaswegian football clubs.....

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Slightly off topic, but pie eating and football are synonomous, both having a great mutual tradition going back many year. The Stanley Baxter'esque phrase "Erzyirpiehanbovrul" evokes a whole experience to me of high expectation followed by a warm cosy feeling at football matches on freezing cold misty dismal dank sodden Saturday afternoons and Wednesday nights at various football parks throughout the country, (albeit with sometimes severe repercussions a few hours later.). Worst ever was the one time I attended a cellic Rangers game at the Rangers end of cellic park's mid terrace, rather than the traditional Rangers end. The pie serving area was just underneath what was technically part of the "jungle" and right next to the pies and bovril were big troughs which transported the toilet piss from the user end out through pipes at the back. I can still almost taste that heady aroma of bovril. congealed mutton fat and piss after all these years...........the joys of being a fan in the seventies.
