Oh dear. What a shame.
a lot of them it’s because their mates do it based on stuff the footballer knowsHow hard is it for footballers earning tens if not hundreds of thousands a week to simply not bet on football matches?
Same as why do they not take a taxi instead of drink driving.How hard is it for footballers earning tens if not hundreds of thousands a week to simply not bet on football matches?
Don’t know if that’s the best analogy. Drink driving you’re in an inebriated state and think you’re fine to drive home and you won’t be caught. Betting on your own football matches isn’t really going to scratch the surface in how much you earn already.Same as why do they not take a taxi instead of drink driving.
You say this as if this was about money.. Gambling is an addiction. Same as alcoholism. You can just leave your car at home by the way it’s not as if drink driving is a force of nature that cannot be prevented. And you can treat a gambling addiction if you admit that you have one.Don’t know if that’s the best analogy.

if they bet on football matches it's 3years ban min and I guess it will apply even if they now play in UK1 year ban for Zaniola and 50k fine for Tonali
Well said.You say this as if this was about money.. Gambling is an addiction. Same as alcoholism. You can just leave your car at home by the way it’s not as if drink driving is a force of nature that cannot be prevented. And you can treat a gambling addiction if you admit that you have one.
Is this an Italian rule?if they bet on football matches it's 3years ban min and I guess it will apply even if they now play in UK
They probably didn't bet on themselves swapping Milan and Rome for Newcastle and Birmingham, that's for sure.
Chuckle.
yeah rules says 3 or more years if you bet on football. Doesn't matter if you bet on South korean league or whatever.Is this an Italian rule?
Toney got an 8 month ban here, would this ban depend on where they played during the alleged betting offences?
What do you get if you remove the shared letters from "Tonali Zaniolo"?Coincidence that there you can almost spell Tonali from Zaniolo? Or something more sinister.
Not for me to say.
Goes without saying, tbf.What do you get if you remove the shared letters from "Tonali Zaniolo"?
That's right, you get "T Zo".
How many letters are in "T Zo"?
That's right, three. The same number as there are in the word "bet".
But what does "T Zo" mean?
A TZO (or a Thorne-Zytkow object) also known as a hybrid star, is a conjectured type of star wherein a red giant or red supergiant contains a neutron star at its core, formed from the collision of the giant with the neutron star.
Who is also a red giant (or red supergiant)?
That's right, Manchester United.
And what about the "neutron star" at the "core" of Manchester United?
Well, "neutron" in this instance is a reference to head size, as in Nickelodeon legend Jimmy Neutron's massive bonce, and "star" refers to the player's perceived ability within the squad. Who does this refer to?
That's right, mister win percentage himself, Harry Maguire.
It would be unfair to blame Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Zaniolo for these apparent crimes, when all of the evidence points towards them being the deeds of Harry Maguire.
Thanks for the explanation, which of course makes perfect sense, but as brophs said, it goes without saying.What do you get if you remove the shared letters from "Tonali Zaniolo"?

Yeah, it has a chance like you said. They are close together a lot than we think.There are news/rumors that the other players found in Fagioli's Whatsapp are:
Bastoni and Barella for Inter
Romagnoli e Pellegrini for Lazio
Zawlesky e Volpato - Roma
and they say a big name from Juventus.
At this point IF I have to guess it's Chiesa
Since those people are close friends
Italy gonna Italy.Just ban Italian football ffs
That's some big names . No way they chuck lengthy bans at all of them - would cripple the national team.There are news/rumors that the other players found in Fagioli's Whatsapp are:

I read this in Cartman's voiceWhat do you get if you remove the shared letters from "Tonali Zaniolo"?

Betting in football is a big problem, not just in Italy. Toney, Trippier, Gosling, Sturridge, Townsend in recent years have had fines/bans in regards to betting in England. Lower league players are probably at it a lot more, my local club had a player banned for it a couple years ago.Just ban Italian football ffs
It's kinda like having AA meetings held at Heineken's headquarters.I believe fining and banning players for betting at the same time as welcoming gambling sponsorships on shirts/stadiums/every single advert on a sporting programme or YouTube channel with open arms is comfortably worse, tbh.
It's bizarre to me that the powers that be seek out these punishments while openly targeting the exact same impressionable demographic for exploitation through gambling sponsorships and 24/7 exposure. It's a vicious cycle that will only get worse.
Hopefully Tonali is guilty and gets the full 3 year ban.if they bet on football matches it's 3years ban min and I guess it will apply even if they now play in UK

I wouldn't say Italy gonna Italy. At least they don't hide away from problems and actually do something about that when it comes to light. We are still waiting on Premier League doing something about ManCity charges.Italy gonna Italy.
Beautiful country but its bonkers how often these things happen. At least it seems there are good people who have the power to go after it.
Pretty much. It has become almost impossible for clean gambling addicts to watch football. We need to get rid of all gambling sponsorships and the like. I’m against prohibition. But allowing gambling companies to take up all this advertising space is a complete disaster and needs to be stopped. Let gambling be legal but outlaw any advertisement.It's kinda like having AA meetings held at Heineken's headquarters.
