romano posted that he was betting in england when he was already suspended for betting in italy. that guy is a moron.

if he gets another ban will newcastle just keep paying his salary?

It seems as though these bets were put on before his ban was confirmed, so he might get a concurrent ban, rather than an extended one.

These poor lads have a weakness that is targeted - its an illness as is alcoholism. They have freetime and money and they are picked out as "marks" by whoever they are gambling with and preyed on because they know they will get loads of money out of them. I have never been a gambler but I do understand some people are fucked over by the gambling industry

Free will.
Backbone.
Morals…

We can create all the excuses in the world while mirror foggers do what they do, but it doesn’t hide the fact that they KNEW what they were doing was wrong and that if they got caught they would get severely punished. No ifs, ands, buts or maybes. They knew.

Now, it’s time to accept that knowledge and pay the price.
 
50 more betting offences between August 12 -> October 12 2023. Kinell.

Obviously an addiction of some sort. You wonder how much Milan knew, seemed like a too good to be true transfer. Suddenly turned from getting a bargain to being ripped off.

Milan have fleeced them then knocked them out of Europe on their own patch in the space of 6 months.

Bingo. The someone else's fault attitude is a major failing in modern society. Accountability nearly always lies at home.

Silly comments.

If you have a compulsive gambling habit it's not just free will.

The guy obviously didn't need the money from any winnings so was always chasing the buzz.

I've gambled, had adrenaline surging from betting on flat horse racing and lost a good a chunk of winnings chasing losses. But it was much easier for me to just stop because I don't have a gambling addiction and hate losing. It's also easier to carry on when you get paid 100k a week and it doesn't leave you destitute.

It's just insane that football clubs and leagues continue to take money from gambling companies and treats gambling addiction like this.

I have mixed feelings on this post. For me this is what following your team is about, having a laugh and getting behind them win lose or draw. We did enough of it when we were shite. Defiance in adversity and defeat. I see the posters point that failure is kind of being glossed over but hey kudos to those fans supporting their team no matter what.

Swindon away..in the pissing rain away..getting beat .. whole stand full re-creating our Gene Kelly stand stuff
 
Been following Mike Ashley and Sports Direct taking Newcastle to court over Newcastle (and Adidas) signing an exclusivity deal with JD Sports. Ashley has tried to claim Newcastle fans are devestated but the KC for Newcastle has just pointed out the obvious fact that the relationship between the Toon Army and Ashley was wrecked years ago - no self respecting Geordie would spend their money in one of Ashley’s jumble sales. Ashley for all his wealth clearly lacks any semblance of emotional intelligence. There’s been a few deals like this kicking about but only a fool in his position would chose to challenge the Newcastle one - he could have tried Celtic - but not Rangers - because he has an exclusivity deal there - which kind of undermines his whole case !

We took back something that we’d bought for our grandson in a Sports Direct shop, and rather than a refund, we were given a credit note.

We won’t be shopping there again.

That happened to Mrs Bill recently. She bought a Nike gym top which was the right size but not a good fit so she took it back. They wouldn't refund her, only offered a voucher. They didnt have an alternative to offer in her size, but try as she might they wouldn't budge. She ended up buying a completely different item just to spend the voucher. She won't be shopping there again either. They must lose lots of potential repeat customers with that policy.
 
Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali was given a suspended two-month ban from football by an independent commission on Thursday after he was found to have breached the Football Association's (FA's) betting rules.

"The FA charged the midfielder with 50 breaches of FA Rule E8 for placing bets on football matches between 12 August 2023 and 12 October 2023," the FA said in a statement. The FA confirmed that Tonali admitted to having placed the bets on the matches in question
