Some quality virtue signalling going on here, go post some anti Trump waffle on your facebook echo chamber.

In the meantime, Arsenal have donated £50K to Sutton's community project which will build new toilets and classrooms.

It's always nice in that January- February, early FA Cup period, when The Sun get to pretend for a couple of days that they give a flying crap about lower league or non league teams, after spending the other ten months printing ceaseless tedium about Rooney, Kane, Wenger or Mourinho.

Don't wait for me!
The pie eating coach has been resigned. That's what happens to the beautiful game when the Sun get involved.

So a betting company offers odds on whether this guy will eat a pie whilst on tv during the match or not and that surely means that the said player is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. After all, punters could / would have bet on both potential outcomes meaning whatever he did, he would have influenced the outcome of the bet
Surely these sorts of bets being offered in the first place should be the thing that has come under scrutiny and not a player put in a difficult position as the result of this interest from the betting company.
He may not have made any money himself out of it, but it has cost him his job and damaged the reputation of the non league club (+ why did the TV company show it anyway? surely they too might have known that this bet existed and helped to make it happen) and all because the betting companies think they are 'fun' bets

And the pie eater resigns. Read the news in case you missed it.
Thanks for judging me. You eloquently confirm that I'm right. The Sun: shite house. But don't let me distract you from your page 3 girl

What were the odds on a salad? Then we could have cleaned up.
Not sure why it's taken so long, but the 'keeper has been fined £375 and banned for two months for breaching FA betting rules.
"We are told we are not allowed to gamble as it is full-time professional football," Shaw told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme.
"In no way did I put anyone in jeopardy of that - this is not the case here, this is just a bit of fun and me being hungry."

Just read some of the earlier posts. What was all the vituperation about I wonder? Actually....no.... I don't. 
Separately...a small fine and a 2 month ban is.... weird. Unless he was paid less than £187.5 a month it seems that the ban is disproportionate to the fine.
A less well informed person than myself might be tempted to think the FA may not know what they are doing....
