7-2 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Can't remember which programme it was on, maybe one of the Jimmy Hill retrospectives, but they showed old footage of a couple of top division managers being interviewed during a game back in the 70's or 80's. It didn't expand on it but it was maybe a trial that never took off at that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's been good for the "LAD BANTER" pages, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I don't see what he's done wrong. He's not thrown a match, he's just made some money off a gullible bookmaker. Nobody complains when bookmakers take money off gullible customers, like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This seems like a monumental overreaction from Sutton United here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's done is spot fixing - people he knew had bet on it and he went and did it. I see he's now been emptied. Hopefully he stays off the pies as they aren't good for a man of his age and size.

jamamafegan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's a harsh punishment. The man's just lost his job for a silly decision likely made in the heat of the moment. Read somewhere that he's involved with the club more than just sub goalie - does a bit of coaching and club maintenance. A high price to pay for a stupid joke. I'd be happier to see the Sun charged.

forameus Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 So essentially, Sutton get dragged through the mud - their manager has said they've been checked to see if any of them made a bet - the goalie in question gets sacked, And the company that essentially caused all of this end up leaving the whole affair in the green with some "great" publicity. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcastle broon Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's been confirmed it was a pasty and no a pie, more importantly surely all bets are off and he can now sue the club for wrongful dismissal......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick's wages 2013-14 - 2014-15 - 2015-16 were £186k - £208k - £191k. Sutton were averaging 1,518 at New Year. Remember their league play 46 games and there'll be better money in FA Cup and Conference naming rights/TV deals compared to Scottish Championship equivalents - e.g. BTSport show 30 live games (25 league/5 play-offs) + weekly highlights. Someone involved with a National League side told me they got £8k per game from BT Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay. This!! Surely the gambling commission should be hammering the bookmaker here. It's not a kick in the baws from entrapment tbh. It's an entirely dodgy bet for them to organise in the first place.
