NixonRFC 1,394 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The problem with sportsman/officials batting on anything is always going to be contentious in the sense that it leaves them open to corruption. Let's say a player or official runs up a £500,000 tab from betting on the horses, though he hasn't been betting on football the opportunity is there for a bookie to pressure him into doing something in return for having the debt wiped.Yes, I can see where your coming from mate, totally Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Expected worse to be honest, decent result.Would love to know the details and the match he bet against us though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoR20 2,133 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 As much as I like him, he should be sacked if he bet against Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfaebrigton 31 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Fk sake septic fans will be following him about tae see if he goes near a bookies either that or they'll just say he was in one expect sightings reported to the sfa every fkn day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,582 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I think immediate 3 match ban with 7 suspended is quite fair If I'm honest...However ....This opens up a massive can of worms. I expect SFA to go after others who's been as stupid.I think pleading guilty helped his case.Wouldn't hold my breath. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 109,729 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Glad for black that his career isn't over, however now his case from the SFA is finished Rangers may well open up disciplinary procedures Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Very decent result for Black. Admitting his guilt must surely have helped. I would like SFA to go after others, but I won't hold my breath! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This wouldn't have happened if he was still at Hearts. We know the real reason he's been outed for betting.Not everything is a big conspiracy mate.If Black has admitted to betting against his own team, then the SFA are in the right for charging him. This is not acceptable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonRFC 1,394 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Im holding off being happy for him until its established that he didn't bet against Rangers, that for me is unacceptable although I'm happy to abide by the law of the club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCstuart 317 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So how does the 7 suspended bans work, suspended until when? And do the bans count in all competitions?Edit: Just read the 7 kick in if he breaks the rules again before May Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 While I can't actually disagree and tell the people wanting Black sacked that they are wrong, I don't think it's as black and white as that.One thing I've learned from this is that there's a difference between betting on your team not to win and throwing matches. The game in question Black actually scored and played well.Plus I've been told it was handicap betting, which muddies the waters a bit more but also doesn't make it seem as bad (to me personally)The club should toe his baws for being so stupid and of course fine him 3 weeks wages for the 3 games he can't play for us - then hopefully we can move on.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I think those that want him sacked just don't want him playing for us, the one game that involved us whilst playing for us he actually scored the goal which made him lose the bet, I'm guessing from that he was more interested in us getting the points than winning a bet.

the goal machine 7,810 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So how does the 7 suspended bans work, suspended until when?

GrandSuckMaster 1,775 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Get rid of him. Big wages, not needed and disgraceful actions. Maybe explains why he played so shite last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosebrad 452 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ok now that's sorted lets sort the rest of Scottish football our rather than single one footballer out of 1000s that bet. It only fair??He bet against us I bet against us ffs last season because the odds where good if I won, opps that makes me not a real Rangers supporter, some people need to get a grip and stop using their own agenda to get rid of him because they don't or never like IB Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Very decent result for Black. Admitting his guilt must surely have helped. I would like SFA to go after others, but I won't hold my breath!I honestly dont imagine there are many players out there who will bet against their own team. This is an incredibly stupid thing to do.Many might have a wee punt every now and then, and the SFA probably turn a blind eye to this. Betting against a team you play for is a different matter.

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We all know this would never had made news if he was still a Hearts player and we all know why its came out but if its proved he has bet against us while playing for us , we should be the ones who punish him and that means , the sack ..........

Big Al 55 9,291 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 A decent result IMO, I assume all OUR players who tweeted betting slips will now also be called before the beaks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
