Just goes to show that his betting was as malicious as fuck, hope he gets further punishment.

Very lucky man

It's definitely the end of his Brentford career as no Brentford fan would tolerate this. If any City player did what he did. I would want them gone immediately.

His only option is going abroad but I'm not sure if his ban is a Fifa ban or just a English football ban.

I've had time to think about this and I am disgusted at the English FA at their harsh and unwarranted 8 month ban for Ivan Toney for multiple gambling. 8 months? Really?

It's definitely not.

If he'd been a Southampton player, he'd have made a fortune.

What a prick. Should be banned for 5 years.

 

[hello]

If he was white and European rather than Black & English I guess the FA would have acted very differently. Given 8 months I would have thought small bets on la liga matches. betting on his own team and even himself should be a minimum 5 year ban as per the guidelines.

The social media judges and jury had him innocent last week and apparently knew all the details of the case. But what about Citeeehhh they cried. As if the two were in any way linked.
Just shows you, maybe people should wait to hear more details before talking pure shite

I said at the time 8 months is just a slap on the hands, but it should have been a lifetime ban after today,
betting on games you are playing is match-fixing and cheating fans who pay to watch,

I have this feeling he is holding the FA by the balls because he could easily blow the whistle on the whole rotten game, Why he was not charged with Match-fixing if he is admitting he placed bets on his own games, also now it's come out the FA should reopen the case and change him with match-fixing

To be fair to him, he wasn't playing in the matches, he was injured or just not in the squad. But it's still the equivalent of insider trading. Very serious imo, addiction or not.

He did bet on games he played in but only to win.
He bet on brentford to lose in games he wasn't playing in - which is very dodgy if he knew he as their best striker wasn't playing.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

He'll be ok. Change his surname to his maternal maiden name, Tabetagenn. He'll be back playing in no time.

if he's betting on games that he's playing in then it's match-fixing simple, I would like to know did the games he bet on came up and if he won the bets, also the amount of the bets and winnings involved, Defo inside knowledge and others involved because you telling me it's just him at it hahaha,

what is the difference ? its match-fixing for me and the punishment is not enough

he was playing in a lot of the games

I think the bigger issue is him betting on Brentford to lose in games he wasn't playing in.
If he was betting on Brentford to win when he was playing, he is just going to try a bit harder. That's not cheating.

 

[Gray]

He has got away very lightly, surely people at the Club must have known what he was up to.

 

[super_city_si]

What a knob. 8 months now seems very lenient

 

[kippaxwarrior]

He also knew it was not allowed and took steps to conceal it, then tried to destroy the evidence and then lied to the FA about it, which blows up many of the defences put forward on his behalf by journalists.

Southgate looks a bit daft now after defending doesn't he?

Surely The FA would of told him

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

needs a longer ban
