What a joke excuses excuses. He did it for the money. If he was a gambling addict could bet on anything, but come on, bet on his own team is losing ……… May as well do away prisons if this guy is in charge. Sat there saying full of corruption and he knows about it but doing nothing about it
Yeah… if the gambling addiction is real and not a play to get a lower penalty π€·ββοΈ
Don't get this at all. When Mitrovic was sent over for grabbing the ref I never heard anyone say the FA should give him a one match ban and rehabilitation or if a player gets done for racism I never hear anyone say no ban but offer rehabilitation
So why dose he not go into and pay for rehabilitation
more pampering of multi millionaires what a joke
Gotta love β€οΈ DMac giving it straight
Nonsense, he got what he deserved he broke the rules..
Rubbish. He should have got a 2 year ban. Heβs corrupt
Would be a nightmare talking to Simon, cuts you off one sentence in
Society is too soft he has brought the integrity of the game into disrepute
He was betting on games for which he had inside information from the dressing room of his parent club. If youβre an addict you can bet on anything you want, 24 hours a day through your phone.
MacAnthony is bombastic as always. Me me me. Didnβt realise he owned Inter Milan. But heβs right about Ivan Toney !,,
Auckland x people do the wrong thing not because they can't control themselves but because they consider the game to outweigh the benefit. This is not an addiction. Stop making out that he's the victims. Give him a lengthy ban and make it so he can't be paid by his club during this time.
so what happens when the rest us normals people get sacked.
How is kicking a football around on the training ground supposed to treat this supposed gambling addiction?
The 'he shouldn't be banned from training because muh rehabilitation' argument is nonsense. Take your medicine Toney.
It's about determent. Send a message. Simon was objective. The other guy was being emotional
He bet on his own teams to lose, his only problem is wanting money. He has no addiction
At what point did the addiction materialise? Before earning numerous thousands a week? Or when it was made public?
He bet against his own team,he deserves his punishment.
You cant' blandly blame another 100 plus players for Gambling on football with no evidence given. Smells of bullshit.
I agree with Simon Jordan, no excuses for bad decisions made by footballers. Punishment first rehabilitation comes mid sentence.
Absolute crap from MacAnthony. This is same reason why bbc were told to drop Crimewatch, because it predominantly showed black criminality. When a murder is a committed by a black person – oh he/she must have ''mental health issues''π. Seriously fk off with that. White person does the crime, they do the time. Enough of of this woke bs that protects the blk community. They're protected to an absurd extent now. Police run away from them. Sick of it.
Sack jordan off and get the ex posh owner on a good listen
Not harsh enough! Football has been ruined by betting its the evil underlying corruption we see week in week out. Football has gone for most fans these days.
How many footballers have been caught betting and breaking the rules. He deserves the ban.
If you are a alcoholic,, you then drive a car. Get caught by the Police. Banned, fined and potentially jailed. Oh yeah, but I've got an addiction. OK Sir, banned over turned, fine repaid, out of jail you go. Come on.
I always thought Darragh was a complete tool and loved the sound of his voice to muchβ¦.this actually made me change my mind about him in a positive way.
Darragh class guy.
Itβs a good job heβs around now years ago it was a prison sentence
Brilliant interview!
PUFC
Darragh is a pathological liar
Why should Toney get "more support" 99% of Players steer clear of the Betting curse !! Mr MacAnthony says he should be allowed to do this that and the other …But lets not forget they all have a vested interest in burying this stuff , What Football fans want is a sport where we are assured that our players are playing for the Club not the Bet !!!! Spot on again Simon !!!!!!
Thank God we have Simon to spell it out to the Public Who simply do not have the Knowledge to undserstand just how complicit the Players and Club owners are enmeshed in the Betting Industry , Here we have a hard-nosed owner trying to Justify Ivan Toneys shocking lack of awareness to placate an industry that has far too many strings to pull in Football !!!!!!!!!!
Why not let Toney continue to play from August, but keep 75% of his salary every week for 1/2 the season. Donate to the homeless and hit him in the wallet.
I agree with Darren, addiction isnβt a crime but mental health and football clubs and the fa should be look to redeem the player and not treat them like a criminal.
You don't bet on your own club…
Well if theyβve banned him for months and months what do they think heβs going to do on a Saturday afternoon in the house maybe go on his phone blasting the ladbrokes app
Disagree with Simon, this is ALL about rehabilitation, rather than punishment. His example of βwe send people to prison for punishment not rehabilitationβ is also strange: please go and read into the reasons why our prison system fails and crime rates are not reducing, all to do with lack of rehabilitation and guidance and too much focus on punishment and distance from society. Which is effectively what weβre doing to Toney here.
Another point, we need to stop using a footballers wage or lifestyle as a reason for them being the percent citizen. That they should almost be immune to mental health issues (which is what this is), is wrong.
The game enables addiction Toney needs help not to become a pariah imo
its already been forgeten
simon argues to be right all de he doesn't wanna be wrong
He needs to be supported I had an addiction and support of my family was the only reason I got over it
Yes too harsh ,yes he deserved some punishment but coupled with help with his addiction ! He has a problem that afflicts many whether its gambling or drugs its an addiction and needs treatment and help . Its an illness . Toney is an amazing talent when on the field it would be a tragedy if we were deprived of watching one of the best strikers in the Premier league .
What about peter swan england and sheffield wedensday went to prison lost his world cup place to jack charlton and lost the 1966world cup and he wasnt earning 100000grand a week
English football is soft on gambling. It will end in tears. Without a guarantee of the games being genuine the English game will collapse. Someone should be made an example of. Toney did not make a mistake he made 100s of mistakes.
