Lualua tweet, surely he's talking about betting. Might be being a bit over the top but isn't this banned? Didn't Andros Townsend get in trouble for this last year?

He can bet on games he isn't involved in.

Just found this, Townsend wasn't accused of betting on games he's involved in. Got £18,000 fine, not that bothered. But 4 month suspended suspension!

I think you'll find it's not just betting on games you are involved in but betting on games/players in the same league as you play in.

So you are worried about him getting a ban but then you post it on here making more people aware. Good move that one

The rules on players betting are here:

http://www.thefa.com/~/media/Files/.../betting/fa-betting-booklet-2012-version.ashx

Players are allowed to bet on competitions they are not involved in. So Lua Lua can bet on anything except The Championship, The FA Cup and The League Cup.

Yep, better to quietly tweet the player and warn him. Thus allowing him to remove it without fuss.
