[jcdenton08]

Very good news for our chances of Europe this season? (via 7th).

"Brentford striker Ivan Toney has accepted breaking Football Association betting rules ahead of his appearance before a disciplinary panel.

It means the 26-year-old is potentially facing a lengthy ban"

Toney accepts breaking FA betting rules

They have him bang to rights on some I’m guessing, and naturally is contesting the most serious ones. It all depends whether they want to make an example out of him.

Trippier (10 weeks, 2020) and Barton (13 months, 2017) recent examples, so not sure they really need to make an example? Perhaps a summer move abroad upcoming though

 

[Brian Fantana]

Based on previous bans given out, my guess for Toney is 3 months.

 

[The Fits]

He's such a good player. So so stupid Toney.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Based on previous bans given out, my guess for Toney is 3 months.

I wonder if Ivan would like to take that bet ? 🫣

Does anyone know if such bans are recognised by UEFA, I.e can he actually go abroad and continue playing when banned?

Isn't that where Joey got his Allo Allo accent from?

I think Trippier was unable to play for Atletico when he was banned, so I'm guessing it is international (Europe anyway)

Could be right, I try to spend as little of my life thinking about Joey “René” Barton as possible…

 

[Invicta]

Ban will be June to Aug. Miss 2 or 3 games

 

[Hugo Rune]

It’s not even like he had a little exploratory rummage and backed off. The man was in balls deep!

“Toney was charged with 232 breaches in November and a further 30 in December.”BBC

Ban him for the rest of the season please.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Why is it taking so long?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Every Toney goal being expunged is the only fair outcome 🫠

Gambling bans are worldwide, FIFA originally suspended Trippiers ban while he appealed but once the appeal was rejected by CAS the ban came into effect. In Trippier’s case the ban was actually issued by the FA a few months after he’d joined Atletico.

Barton was banned by the FA for 12 games for violent conduct in 2012. The ban was upheld by Ligue de Football Professionnel when he joined Marseille and for the first 3 months of the season he could only play in Europa League games.

Barton’s ban for gambling was issued in April 2017, it was 18 months (later reduced to 13 on appeal) but effectively ended his playing career as he was released from Burnley at the end of the 16-17 season.

In April 2018 it was announced that Barton would become Fleetwood manager when his ban ended in June.

It's an absolute farce he's been able to play this long with this number of charges.

This. If he gets less than a 6 month ban he’s very lucky. Must be some kind of complete moron to be betting on football over such a long period when the FA and clubs are so diligent on making sure all staff are aware of the rules.

Ivan Toney accepts breaking FA betting rules and faces lengthy ban

The Brentford striker could miss several months for breaching FA’s betting rules while the punishment would also deal a blow to his England future

www.theguardian.com

If Toney’s case is dealt with swiftly he could miss the chance of a return to the England squad when Gareth Southgate’s team play Italy and Ukraine in March. A quick outcome could also suit Brentford in the long run given much of any ban would probably stretch over the summer, minimising his potential absence next season.

Surely this cannot happen.

It's not exactly hard to get around it either if he really wanted to is it?

I assume partners can bet?

Ok so when is this disciplinary hearing actually happening? (asking as he's in my FPL team).
