    The S*n have said they've paid out a 5 figure sum to one punter. I think he's in the **** for this like, as he's admitted he knew about it.

    Albeit the bookies were as dumb as **** for offering the bet.

    The bookies are immensely stupid they offered skimpy odds of only 1000/1 on Sutton winning the FA Cup. If they'd wanted to make more mug money they should have offered 20,000/1. Maybe they were still smarting from Leicesters 5000/1 <whistle>

    Can't disagree with that. But whatever possessed them to start laying odds on an amateur, 46 yr old, 20 st. keeper eating a pie?

    It's asking for it!...

    It was Sun Bets offering the bet at 8-1, and they were sponsoring Sutton last night... I imagine they asked him to do it, and potentially greased the wheels in order to get him to do it.

    Lots of advertising for a betting site I never knew existed!

    Hence why it is being investigated by the FA and the Gambling Commission!

    Imagine he will get a ban and the bookies a fine...

    well, I gotta go see my MP soon, luckily I live the right side of the road to be with labour, I think I may bring it up as I loathe Murdoch, Trump is the poster-boy, Murdoch is the master.

    He's resigned and Sutton have accepted it.

    Shame, Sutton don't deserve this sort of press. The Sun, as usual, are the ones that have cocked up.

    A five figure sum from odds of 8-1 would have meant at least £1,250 stake <yikes>

    Probably more to do with unprofessional behavior (aka; eating a pie during a professional match) than the being allegations

    Probably their own money and given to a mate of his to place, and if he did it, there's his payment for their publicity stunt.

    I'm glad he's got caught I don't think he's got good table manners. Eats like a pig, can't stand a person who doesn't have etiquette when it comes to eating.
