Rangers fans demanding apologies over a comment alot of people believe to be true, where were the apologies when their old club stole off 226 companies???
10 game bans probably about right - and if the player's guilty then nobody will blame anyone but him.
http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/...ames-by-scottish-fa-for-gambling-on-football/ This article doesn't really say but it depends, I reckon. If it's just for gambling, then hundreds of folk are about to get done (fair's fair) If it's just for betting on games with his own team (or part of the punishment is, specifically), then I don't think anyone else will get done, Ally will burst a gravy vessel and we can expect another few months of folk beeling at the authorities.
Wait a minute. Seven of the ten games are a suspended ban. So, it's a 3 game ban for betting against your own team 3 times and 160 other transgressions Oh well, that gravy vessel will probably still get burst. The suspended ones won't even come into effect unless he specifically breaks the same rule How long was Lennon's ban for swearing again?
Apparently, the ban and fine are all just for betting against his own team - not betting in general - he only received a censure for that. Just bear that in mind the next time a Hun claims he was suspended simply for betting - because, sure as eggs is eggs, you will be hit with that patter at some point. Oh well, pretty much precedent set for gambling on games not involving your team if that's correct.
The problem with Italian football is the authorities don't take match fixing seriously. Now look at the SFA response to a player betting against his own team, 3 game ban. The SFA better get a set of balls soon and do something about rangers because they are getting away with murder right now. Their inactivity is most likely going to lead to Newco going into admin.
Maybe he owned or worked for or a relative or friend did so, for one of the companies done out of millions by now defunct rfc. Seems with Trev the Tit that knowing facts is to be banned as well. The neo nazi attitude of sevconians will never surprise me. The bhastard child of rfc has spawned a more extreme support than that of the original club. The three match ban on Black simply proves everything revealed by CF about the SFA. Betting against your own team is a due registration offence in every other member country of FIFA, but not for SEVCO under the SEVCO dominated SFA. Scottish football is now an absolute joke and a global laughing stock.
Blacks betting against his own team in three matches seems to have laid the foundations, in the minds of some SEVCO fans to allow the club to dismiss him. They did this with Sandaza, but had their fingers burnt when they had to pay him the balance of h is contract minus any potential bonuses of course. He achieved full payment. Now if SEVCO go down the same route with Black, the Players Union may be able to point to the leniency of the punishment dished out by the SFA and claim that it is not a serious offence in their eyes, certainly no more serious than swearing,witness the punishment given to NL. If every club sacked a player or official who swore, which the SFA seem to have equated with betting against your own club three times, then the would be no one in the game. Black and the union may have a very very strong defence, thanks to the SFA and the SEVCO minded members on there. Wouldn't it be ironic if the players Union were to use this as part of their defence if SEVCO try to sack Black, after all the club have already been humiliated over the Sandaza affair where he got his full payment.
3 matches for match fixing....not ****ing bad. Here Albert, they are attacking Jim Spence in the street now. All because (as Graham Spiers said) he "stated the bleedin' obvious". I should have stuck this post over in the pointless point scoring thread.....but **** it, Albie is on a roll skelping ****s APTS.
No one gives a **** about Scottish football, apart from a few hundred thousand spastics within the British Isles.
Obvious that sevconians are incapable of coherent counter argument. Perhaps they would prefer to kick one of my dogs, probably better not........a fit healthy 140 lbs Rottie is not quite like an elderly arthritic boxer lady. Nor would a Pressa be such an easy vulnerable target.
I've just read a couple of the comments sections on articles about Spence. That, coupled with some of the bizarre justification/whitabootery on Twitter all points depressingly to a mass re-hash of the old "brought it on himself" maxim. ****ing pathetic.
