It does it you spend it properly and you can't have sustained success without it. Chelsea will be back in the top six before us and it will be because of money. 1

Sampson Posted 26 May 2023 Posted 26 May 2023 Tbh I don’t mind it. Officials absolutely should be giving 12 minutes injury time in a lot of games. Always thought it was ridiculous teams play down the clock then we just get a standard 3 minutes.

Haha it absolutely wouldn’t be. Feck knows how many more goals we’d have conceded if games had had proper injury time. We’d probably be lucky to have reached 25pts 1 1

An Sionnach Posted 26 May 2023 Posted 26 May 2023 Seems as though our former beloved "sweet prince" Fofana is finding out that the Chelsea madhouse is tough going. Will he crash and burn ? There is every chance. Of course he does have a fat contract to ease the pain and maybe he did get out at the right time. However the chances of him ever playing for France are receding by the minute and no , he is nowhere near the top echelon of CBs. 1

We have the technology ffs

But it's the fact it's being strongly implemented 2 games before the end of the season.
Super_horns Posted 26 May 2023 Posted 26 May 2023 Didn’t realise he actually betted in games he was involved in. Probably lucky not to be punished more then.
Brainy Posted 26 May 2023 Posted 26 May 2023 Seems he wasn't literally involved in the games he bet on though
fox_up_north Posted 26 May 2023 Posted 26 May 2023 No but betting on his team...not good. Just because he wasn't in the team doesn't mean he can't affect it. Plenty of variables. 1

He bet on his team to win on 15 different occasions, and played in 11 of those games. He also placed 15 bets for himself to score, in matches he was playing in. He's very lucky to not get a longer ban. 1 1

I’d question why he was betting on his own team and himself if that’s the case I agree he’s lucky it’s only 8 months and given the lowish earnings in leagues 1 and 2, I don’t think a ban of eight months is a sufficient deterrent I think it’s should have been 18 months and then perhaps reduced on appeal to nine. Then the length of ban fits with the Barton one and players can see they’ll be out potentially for a year and a half. Edited 26 May 2023 by st albans fox

Alright steady on the small bit I read earlier on was based on betting on his team to lose games, in which he was involved in zilch 1

We have the technology ffs Tbh this has been a joke for ages. I think it was this season we were behind with 5-minutes injury time added on. The opposition wasted so much time, faking injuries going down and stopping the game and then taking ages to take throw-ins. The goalkeeper took nearly a minute to take a goal kick, the ref told him to speed up but he didn't, then he booked the keeper and took 30 seconds to do it. The goalkeeper then took another 30 seconds knowing the ref wouldn't send him off. The ref then added about 30 seconds to the 5 minutes. We played about 1 minute of football in added-on time!
messerschmitt Posted 26 May 2023 Posted 26 May 2023 We could have played 5 hours though and still not scored! 1

It was supposed to be a 12 months ban but was reduced to 8 on account of Toney showing remorse and a Dr assessing him as having a gambling addiction.
