8 month ban for betting offences. Took their time.

As if he hasn't got enough money greedy twat!!! Decent ban handed out!

at least an example has been made with a player at the top of the game and not some unknown journeyman at the bottom which is often the case. its not about how much anyone has who bets for me its a disease and should be made more difficult for people to become involved in it. its not just their life they are making a mess of but in many cases its the wife and kids being involved also. you can spot a boozer or a druggie at work but not a gambler.

It’s took long enough to hear the case, in that time he’s helped keep Brentford in the Prem, picked for England, and now 2 months of his suspension are in the close season, should have been suspended while under investigation

What annoys me most about this whole episode is the inconsistency of how it was handled.

We signed Maguire (who from what I've read and am happy to be corrected) did exactly the same yet wasn't allowed to play and we were left in limbo (Keith and his stakeholders)!
Yet Toni was turning out for Brentford every week and even pulled on an England shirt, whilst still under investigation! Why's that then?

innocent until proved guilty instead of having to prove your innocence after being presumed guilty that often happens in football.
