Craze Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Rumour going around on Facebook that at least three of our lads are being hit with charges related to gambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPPO Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Austen Booth currently at Torquay, received a 9 month ban this week for approximately 300 bets made between 2017 to 2021. Think there are a few more national league cases coming up in the next few weeks from what I’ve heard but not my business to say really unless it’s already been confirmed like Austen’s. You probably remember Ed Palmer, Shane White, and Ryan Brett being in the news for the same thing a couple of seasons ago when they played for City. The FA seem to clamp down on players at National league level around the country quite a bit for some reason 🤔🤔🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Probably because those players don’t have the finances to defend themselves! yet the Premier League and The FA continue to allow Betting companies to sponsor shirts and grounds.

Ian Pethick Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Does seem hypocritical when football, and football broadcasting, is absolutely awash with money from big gambling. You only have to listen to Talksport or watch ITV4 and Sky Sports for any length of time to find yourself bombarded with ads (usually featuring former players). These all tell us that chucking money away is central to the "big match experience." I find it pretty depressing, especially as I know betting addicts that have had their lives ruined. Silly boys though, they must know the rules by now. If the rumours are true, we'll see how Truro handles this. They didn't even acknowledge the suspensions handed down to their players a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Dan Rooney is already serving a months suspension? But it allows him to train with the club? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4ngpgldk75o.amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footy follower Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 The trouble with knowing the rules now is that they probably didn't know the rules in 2017 when all these charges start. To me the only issue that counts is if they have bet on their own clubs. And also if players haven't bet on games since 2021 they've obviously learnt the rules....why punish then in 2024?

silly billy Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I think betting is getting out of control, loads of people bet on everything and anything nowadays, some daily, same old story though, you only here about it if they win.

swjoduk Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 FA report out, despite more bets than Austen Booth Tyler Harvey only received a £550 fine, no ban https://www.thefa.com/-/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/discipline-cases/2024/the-fa-v-tyler-harvey---5-august-2024.ashx No report yet for Austen so not sure what he did other than the number of bets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The truth Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 I think to have any betting partners as sponsors is fine as long as you don’t punish players for using said partners , it’s disgusting how they are happy to take money from them but then go to the moral high ground when it’s suits them hopefully a big personality will be brave enough to call bullsh*t soon and to hold the fa to account St Darren, Ian Pethick and Railwayman in Exile 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betting companies are soon to be stopped from being a shirt sponsor. That’s why Chelsea didn’t have a sponsor for their shirts at the start of last season. Not sure of the finer details but it’s being phased out. Ian Pethick and Town Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although tellingly, the wording is a ban on "front of shirt sponsorship." Town Fan and Tommy Matthews 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
