They must have wasted millions of pounds of police budgets. Labour will have to put up Corporation Tax just to cover the McCann's police bill.
In other footballing news... Joey Barton has been 'forced into retirement' after an 18 month ban for betting offences. Now if only someone could ban him from twitter...
I think it's harsh on Barton to be honest. He was betting on things like him and samaras to be FGS. He was clearly not betting to win.
Over 1200 bets placed over a ten year period. 'Mr Enlightened' knew exactly what he was doing. Barton has flouted the rules and courted controversy his entire career, and it's about time something caught up with him. It's not ignorance of his behalf either, as players are aware of the rules and penalties - he is just a selfish ego driven thug who strives to be perceived as misunderstood. Barton is a horrible sympton of the modern game, where money is thrown at exceptionally average players who are placed on ridiculous pedestals, and live to believe their own hype. Only a few years ago he was moaning about not being the England captain!! Zero sympathy from me, and I hope he doesn't win the inevitable appeal.
A lot of footballers arguing back that the rules were changed in 2012 so why is he being charged for bets from 2009? It's not to defend Barton, but the whole thing stinks. Especially when you consider how much money the football federations collect from bookies.
just looked at the #JohnTerrysMum and threw up my dinner thanks @Royston I'm sure Elf would be interested though.
Apparently someone has questioned us being that arsene guy on ITTV. The whole website apparently. No, it's not. Last thing I'll say on it.
