ElBufalo20 7,906 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Was he only charged by the FA cos that is where he is playing now? So if he was still with us it wouldn't have mattered unless the SFA were involved? The punishment seems extreme. About time the FAs have a ban on bookie sponsorships rather than chasing the money.

Valance1690 3,832 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Guy's a dick, we have known that for years. Saying that, an 18 month punishment for betting seems very harsh (unless proven that he was betting on matches his teams were involved in) Think he's been made an example of tbh, should deter footballers away from betting Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 65,009 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 This amuses me greatly but surely there must be more to come out, 18 months is harsh as fuck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,943 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Like him or not, that is an outrageously big punishment from the FA. If match-fixing is their concern, then you'd understand it to an extent, but wow, 18 months is a little excessive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he was still with us it wouldn't have mattered unless the SFA were involved? He was charged by the FA over separately placed bets, over a number of years, that preceded his signing for us. If he was still with us he'd still be facing this ban, as it's rare for FAs to refuse to enforce suspensions placed by another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,615 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Bullet dodged IMO, although not sure if he would or could have had this enforced by the English FA if we was still with us. Guys a fud regardless, but so was MW in hindsight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jintybear 8,536 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I sometimes wonder how well he would have done if there was a different manager in. I don't know if we will ever find out what really happened but from what I've read Barton seemed to criticise Warburton over training methods and Warburton didn't like that. If only the whole team had criticised him! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
