Notice of Complaint Issued to Ian Black

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

We binned Sandaza we could just as easily use this to bin Black. We don't need Black to win this league, or the next. MacLeod and Law are much better and there's other who can come in to CM if need be. Get rid IMO.

Who do you think could play DM better than Black?

[CalvinC 1,414]

So what's happening with Mr Blackjack

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

Hope we're no paying his wages then.

I would expect a sacking if that situation came to be. I hope not though.

[Kopter 310]

if he has bet on us to lose, then I fully agree.

If he has been betting on us to win, then I see no reason to sack him.

It's a really grey area - If he bet on the win, cool, but betting on a specific score could be dodgy.

Hope it works out alright but he lost any respect I had for the guy after his performance at Tannadice last season.

[FlippinEck 3,751]

What happened to the Motherwell that was betting?

[FlippinEck 3,751]

What happened to the Motherwell lad that was betting?

[now then forever 298]

Who do you think could play DM better than Black?

Macleod or peralta

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

If Ladbrokes were to name every footballer who has had a bet with them, they would probably be out of business now and there would be no football.

Suspect this is a Hearts or Celtic supporting employee with Ladbrokes who has brought this up, Ian Black may well know who it is.

Surely a breach of data protection. I hope whoever it is gets caught.

Not guilty moved to Coventry

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

Macleod or peralta

MacLeod is much better going foward, reminds me of a young Paul Scholes.

Not seen enough (in fact, nothing) of Peralta to say if he is a better option than Black.

I defo wouldn't want MacLeod playing as a DM. It would be a waste of his abilities imo.

Go into Ladbrokes in Milngavie at lunchtime any training day and there are players from the youth teams up to the first team betting on everything and anything.

Like what normal people do.

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

Im pretty sure it is betting in any competition which you have or even might have played in.

So

League

League Cup

Scottish Cup

Ramsdens Cup

Internationals

I notice though that no-one has thrown the paranoid angle out there yet. A certain Dermot Desmond is one of Ladbrokes single biggest shareholders with circa 3% stake in them.

A close look at the rules also states that any club official is also banned from having any involvement of betting or even laying odds on competitions involving their team.

I wonder if anyone is looking closely at Betdaq which for 13 years was the sole property of Dastardly Dermot.

Dont hold your breath though.

Yeah, cos Dermot Desmond is aware of every single bet that Ladbrokes take and who makes it.

Express claims Black could face a life ban but I'm pretty sure they are scaremongering, I reckon he will be dropped from the squad though quite likely suspended will we see him wear a Rangers shirt again, I wouldn't bet on it, (tasteless pun I know)

The only game I have ever switched off at halftime. I have never seen us play as badly as that before and had to switch it off to ease the suffering.

That and Urinea humping us 4-1 at Ibrox is the two worst performances I have ever seen from our team.

[Right_To_Censor 1,951]

those pesky msg boards from online news papers going on about, rangers board leaked this so they could get black off the wage bill, now i'm not one for believing that shit however nothing would surprise one little bit.

If he's been betting on the Rangers first team losing when he's been playing himself he deserves all he gets.

Don't think it's fair to judge the guy until the real facts are out tho.

I see no reason why ge shouldn't play until he is found guilty, innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Do you know the date for his hearing?

[The Godfather 72,864]

Tbh I'd bet against Hearts and ICT too.

Coupon busters

12th Sep, I would imagine similar to Sandaza he will be suspended, I'm not saying its the right thing to do but it might be easier for him and us, he gets enough stick from opposition fans and players as it is and with his temper if some wannabe SFL2 player tries to wind him up and take the mick Black could end up getting sent off or smacking the guy one

Tl be fair, I hated him before he came to us due to being a hacking bastard.

I haven't seen anything like that from him since he joined us, which I find commendable from him, especially with the amount of nasty tackles he's took for us.

[ClydebankBearWATP 877]

IF it is true he has bet against us while playing i never want to see him in a Rangers jersey again and good riddance to the wee cunt

You dish it out you take it, that's how it should go. Instead of greeting like a wee lassie at press conferences and interviews. He's big and ugly enough to take care of himself.

Black is innocent until proven guilty.

The rule is simple....No bets on any football match.

That means...on any football match. Cant get any more clearer than that. On any football match.

Do you know of any precedents for this mate?

Cameron Jerome of Stoke was fined £50,000 2 weeks ago by the FA...but he didn't bet on any game involving his team. Warned re his future conduct by the club. The Accrington Stanley Director was banned from the game for 21 months last week.

The FA rules relate to games and competitions your team is in, has been in, or can be in...so that's not quite world-wide (altho it can be with world cup etc) The SFA rule only says any football match

If anything he's been too tame but as the game at DU showed when he's under pressure he can still do stupid stuff, it would give Ally a headache though if he was suspended with Hutton still injured and Peralta unavailable but I suppose time will tell.
