He has until 5 January 2017 to respond to the charge. The mind boggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hardly the first intelligent person ( I know he's not liked, but he's no thicko) get caught out is he. Many a high profile person has been caught out.

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 The one match ban was a Scottish FA one for him placing 44 bets between July & September last year. The punishment for the rest of the 1000 odd has yet to be decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't condoning it, I think Joey is a great player, would love him here, he's got a huge past but yeah, over 1000 games and not one of his own games? I've never placed a bet once but over a thousand times, that's some habit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never placed a bet once but over a thousand times, that's some habit Like I said above, the one match ban was only concerned with 44 bets from last year so they might not have involved his own teams. The other 1000+ however.......... I find it hard to believe too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct and don't the SFA have a zero tolerance policy on players betting on SFA games?, why is that not in force in England? and then everybody knows what's what with no grey areas.

havanatopia Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Gradually we are arriving at the full facts.. Lets wait for the sentencing for the 1000 games. This might very well end his career. Few people will shed a tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit hot headed now and then but that doesn't detract from his intelligence. As a footballer I'd have him here in a heartbeat, just what we need on the pitch - a leader who can drive a team forward, something we are missing. Him and Tomlin in the same side would be `interesting` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
