Smile 26,600 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Aberdeen director Duncan Skinner faces SFA rap after being charged with betting AGAINST the Dons SFA chiefs have carpeted former oil and gas exec Skinner over breaches of gambling rules including betting on Aberdeen to lose to celtic at Parkhead in February this year ABERDEEN director Duncan Skinner faces a full-scale SFA rap after being charged with betting AGAINST the Dons. SFA chiefs have carpeted former oil and gas exec Skinner – who also sits on the board of Sportscotland – over breaches of gambling rules. He faces a Hampden hearing in the New Year over claims he placed 589 bets covering 1465 matches over four seasons. They include one bet on the Dons to lose to celtic at Parkhead in February this year – when the Hoops won 1-0. Strict rules ban any “club official” from gambling on games – with players such as ex-Rangers pair Ian Black and Steve Simonsen having been banned and fined in the past. It’s understood Skinner, who serves as a non-executive director at Pittodrie, was unaware the rules covered him. The Dons have supported him, with the club and Skinner himself fully co-operating with the probe led by SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan. McGlennan has issued a Notice of Complaint which details Skinner’s alleged betting activity since 2014. It alleged in the 2014/15 season he placed 13 bets involving 26 games, including one on Aberdeen to draw a game. In 2015/16, he placed 276 bets involving 653 games including 33 on the Dons to win and two on them to draw. In 2016/17, it’s claimed Skinner placed 282 bets on 721 games including 37 on his club to win, three on them to draw and one on them to lose. This season, he has placed 18 bets involving 65 games including three on Aberdeen to win and one on them to draw. Skinner has until January 3 to respond to the SFA claims, with a hearing expected in Glasgow on January 11. Sorry wrong section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
