stupid stupid boy

Serves himself right. He knew the rules about betting. Not as if he only did it once or twice. End of his career and was only really ever going to go out in controversy. He just doesn't know how to stay out of trouble. Good riddance. Have to say i thought he would probably get maybe a 10 to 15 game ban but i guess the fa have looked at his previous offences and threw the book at him. Sets a standard for the future. 1260 bets between 2006 and 2016. Makes you wonder whether he bet on us to lose or to get sent off when he did do as he reacted for silly things. Who knows?

Read his take on it all

Utter sh*te. utter utter sh*te. Some of the bets he placed were as stupid as he is!

QPR to win against Rochdale in the cup £250 - Lost. I could have told you that for free

1,260 bets over a 7 year period?

What a pillock. Every professional footballer knows the rules!

I think he makes some excellent points about the reliance of football and the FA on sponsorship from betting companies. He plans to appeal the ban: https://www.theguardian.com/football...etting-burnley

Wonder whether he gets bitter and tries to drag others into it like he tried to do v Man City

Loads of silly 5 pound best just to keep himself entertained by the looks of it.
He cant of made a single penny, he bet on us to win a cup game for gads sake.

Load of b*llox if you ask me....the bloke doesn't have enough friends in the game to actually influence a result !!

[lymehoop]

the way Preston capitulated against the barcodes Monday, I reckon inside betting is rife

End of the day they do seem to be just silly little bets BUT the rules are the rules and he knew he shouldn't be betting but did over 1000 times, so when you get caught you pay the price and he has been caught so just accept it but seems he will take everyone on and probably cause more trouble for others. Like Terry, Barton is just a wrongun and always will be right through his life whatever he does.

The bloke is a pr1ck and a total fool for gambling when the rules on footballers gambling are so strict and well known. However, I agree that he makes some very good points in what he says. The FA have 100% made an example of him for who he is.
