Not holding my breath on how detailed any disclosures from the FA will be though.
I think the ban is the strong indicator of his misdemeanor. We are talking about wrecking a young players career and International career. Its got to have involved some serious foul play imo. He will now after think of other cheap thrills to fill his time with. Silly boy.

Apparently he avoided a 15 month ban after it was revealed he was betting against his own team, betting on himself to score ( penalty taker remember)
He has acknowledged a gambling addiction but no longer bets on football, only on other sports and at casinos.

Getting the help he needs then. :lol:

Sounds like the punchline to a joke.

If you look at the bets you can now make on football, it's literally no different than betting on flies crawling up a wall.
I just this minute looked at Wm Hills and could have bet on a live game in the Mongolian league, which was 2-5 in injury time. 60-1 the home side not tempting, less so the 10,000-1 on the away.

Seriously, if Toney was betting on something like that, and there are such most days, then that is hardly using any experience as a footballer or inside knowledge.
The other end of that spectrum is if he did bet on games which he had information, or even was playing in.
Not random punting then, includes betting against his teams even if not playing.
Bearing in mind it covers the close season, the impression is he has got away on the light side.
Some of the bets were years ago, when still at Newcastle, and you really do wonder why the matter has taken so long to be resolved.

He is very lucky to have gotten off so lightly.

Could easily have got twice the ban he did if not more (some of the bets he made apparently carry a possibility of a lifetime ban)

Clearly needs help with his addiction

But Toney is thick as mince as he has shown before

And this doesn't help
He needs to shut up

What does he mean by that exactly?
Still can’t believe he was allowed to play. For me his goals should never have happened. If you’re betting on the things he supposedly was then it should have been way longer. Hopefully Brentford will pay heavily for it next season. Karma

What a season for little Brentford.

9th in the table.

No team below them scored as many goals. 58, same as scum who finished 3rd.

Did the double over Manchester City, also beat Scum. Spurs & Chelsea.

Joint-4th in the table for losing the fewest games, 9 in all.

Ivan Toney, 3rd highest scorer behind Haaland & Kane, with 21 goals & 5 assists.

15 goals from Mbuemo & Jensen.

Pinnock & Mee their main CB's chipped in with three goals each.

Didn't spend a fortune in the transfer windows, but managed well by Thomas Frank.

Without Toney for more than half a season in 2023/24, I wouldn't be surprised if they snap up a replacement striker at a bargain price

Must be great having a squad of players when your striker scores 20+ goals.

20 goals from the midfielders.

6 goals from your two centre-backs.
