Ivan Toney


It’s the player who’s breaking FA rules. Not really about the betting company, it’s integrity of the sport. If I had a mate who was a player I’d tell them to shut up for their own good if they started telling me tips.
Integrity of the game? What game, transfers? It's a terrible FA rule, purely there to protect bookies.

Transfers aren't a sport, and if the bookies are gonna take bets on something like that then they've got everything coming to them. Same goes for "next manager" type markets
 
It's not a tip though is it? Its a mate updating you about his work situation.

No different to me texting my pals if I'm going for a new job. Other than the bookies are unlikely to have a market on where I'll be working on the 1st Feb :lol:


In Trippier's case, he talked about betting on it with his mate. That's not seeking counsel on a work problem/move.

I see it as one of those professions where you would say "I can't really talk about it" or whatever. You might have to say that in politics or if you were an actor and had landed a massive role or whatever. Sometimes it happens. Footballers clearly shouldn't be talking to their mates about betting on games or transfers. It's against the rules for good reason.

Appreciate we're not going to agree here, and that's fine

Guess I'm just on the side that opposes the bookies, they pull enough shit that its nice to see people taking them for mugs every now and then.

Yeah. No love for bookies (I don't bet). I just think there's a case that when it comes to footballers & betting that it's about the sport, not the bookies
 
Given that our major tournaments are always decided on penalties, somewhere along the line and given his ability up front - is it time for Toney to enter the England squad?
 
No, Kane has a good penalty record and if Toney was in the team then Kane would have taken the penalty anyway.
 
No he’s a cheating tw** who falls over (like many others) if brushed with a feather. He was a disgrace for Peterborough against us.
He’s made the maximum use of his ability and is very fortunate to be where he is.
 
Margin call between him and Wilson, honestly would have made fuck all difference. Englands best player, let alone striker, is still Kane. Not for long perhaps, but there we are.

Can’t f***ing believe he missed the penalty, but every single poster would have chosen him to take it and I think m their bullshitting if they say otherwise.
