Gamblor Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c2llxjxq955o If the charges are proven, he won’t be playing for a long time. Toney got almost a year for betting on matches he wasn’t involved in, Paqueta is accused of getting booked deliberately. Cricketers who have spot fixed have been given career ending bans (and in some cases jail), so I think his move to Man City may be off.

It did, but there were rumours of it being back on if there were no charges. If he’s found guilty, he could well have played his last game.

KrolMong Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Its effectively match fixing. He’ll not play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmesfield_owl Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 If he says he didn't, and he may well not have, how the hell can anyone prove he did. Would likely need a real surge in betting on cards in those games for him and a link from the betting companies showing if he knew them that won. Otherwise I don't see how it could ever be proven. Bet there's loads of lower league players who tell a couple of mates to back a booking on them for a pull back etc. Hope the FA have real proof for the charges, if they do then throw the book at him.
