Topic: Brentford

[Ratboy3G]

I don't normally watch Match of the day, but Brentford looked really impressive.
We should tap up their analytics and scouting department.
(Couldn't find a Brentford thread, apologies Mods if there is one so please merge if the case)

FA have charged Ivan Toney with 232 breaches of betting rules. I suspect this is why Southgate didn’t want him. IF these stand up I suspect he’s looking at a very long suspension, maybe even career ending at the top level.

Depends on what the breaches are really. If they're just 232 random football bets, the punishment won't be that significant... but if any directly involve a club that Toney plays/played for then he's in deep shit.

Barton and Sturridge are recent examples of big bans.

[Crosby Nick]

I’d say ban him until 3rd Jan, that should be sufficient.

[disgraced cake]

232! To state the very obvious, that's fucking loads

[JerseyKloppite]

Wasn't Sturridge's a few months? I mean it's a long period of time but nothing that would derail his career.

As said above, you'd think much will depend on where these bets have been placed, but in any event it's fucking stupid. The rules for footballers betting are very clear and very broad. If he wants to gamble just pick another sport.

No wonder Southgate didn't select him

[The North Bank]

I hope he bet on himself to destroy man city

In 4 years. Just over one a week.

Bet City are chuffed he was allowed to play last week though!

Replay request, sorry demand, incoming.

He'll get sent to Qatar for half-time entertainment.

Official: Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been suspended from all football and football-related activity with immediate effect for eight months.

He has also been fined with £50,000 —and warned as to his future conduct for breaches of The FA’s Betting Rules.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Does the eight months include the off-season?

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Yeah he'll be back in January, so misses half a season.

[DangerScouse]

Yep. Back in January.

[Original]

Just so happen to play city on the last day, just made their job a lot easier if they needed a win

[robertobaggio37]

There’s your moneyball signing right there

[Boaty McBoatface]

Have the details come out yet? Did he bet on Brentford matches?

[Circa1892]

Be interesting at the end of the season to see who missed things by a point and Toney scored a point winning goal against…

If it was a team facing relegation getting to face them then fair enough if the other teams where put out. But Abu Dhabi are beating everyone at the moment, like losing Toney makes a difference.

But the whole thing is farcical. HE’s been allowed to play most of the season, and now his ban covers the off season.

The premier league is an utter joke, can’t wait to see what punishment Abu Dhabi get

Transfer ban between September and December.

It's still a match which could affect the league, is that the standard now, its man City so they'll win anyway, fairness goes out the window

[Tobelius]

Bet he comes back firing in january,at Chel$ea.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Can Brentford sue him?

Dont expect anything other than a small fine!

[Oldmanmick]

Transfer ban between September and December.

Suspended until 2123

[rafathegaffa83]

Can't believe it took this long, but it seems remarkably light compared to the 4 month ban Sturridge received for a single reported offence. Toney has been allowed to play for months

[Caligula?]

It should be eight months during the footballing calendar shouldn't it? The off season basically reduces the ban by three months.

[The North Bank]

Nice timing to ban him before they face Man City. It won’t matter now but it could’ve been critical.

The Cheats will snot them with or without him.

Ivan Toney, who promotes gambling day in day out, in a league that promotes gambling basically 24/7, is punished for having a bet.

The PL is a disgrace. Just shows where their priorities lie.

[[new username under construction]]

So they'll punish him and Brentford during a season but umm not Everton?

Mad isn’t it. They’ll tell you what happened to Ivan Toney after the break, in the meantime here’s ray winstone to tell you what odds Toney is to score first in his comeback game

Farcical that

[lfc_col]

They have waited ages to do it as well

[Alf]

Seems harsh to me, these betting companies are quite happy to take footballers money when they’re losing. Then when they have a winner, their thrown to the Wolves.

[redgriffin73]

They're letting him have 4 months training before he plays again as well. How fucking fat are they expecting him to get

Astonishing the amount of gambling ads and all of the talk sport/sky celebs ramming it down your throat. And then they punish you for erm gambling.
