Professional footballer bets on his own team, and football in general even after several well publicised prosecutions in the past few years. Then tries to claim special exemption for his own personal ethics. I have no sympathy for him.
What he's done is less corrupt than what the ref will do tomorrow - and he'll no doubt be gifted a cup-final for his exertions.
It's nothing to do with corruption, it's everything to do with stupidity, and maybe even a sense of entitlement and a feeling that he is above the rules.
He claims he has a gambling problem, so we have to take him at face value and I hope he gets help with it - he didn't need to bet on football to scratch his gambling itch though (especially after Demichellis was punished fairly recently for doing so), and the fact that he made maximum bets of £150 which are modest in the context of a Premier league footballer's income shows that he had a measure of control while he was betting.
VIVA EL CITIES
"The adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee ... has banned Mr Joseph S. Blatter ... for eight years and Mr Michel Platini ... for eight years from all football-related activities (administrative, sports or any other) on a national and international level. The bans come into force immediately." - 21/12/2015

Joey is a pillock to himself but consider Paul Merson, drink, drugs and gambling, Merson was given help.

Kid in Thailand
Everton fan outside Goodison

Jamie Tandy
Ousamane Dabo
Tevez/Aguero/Kompany lunacy
And that's just the ones connected with City. Fuck him, he's had enough chances. I hope he dies alone in a cardboard box in a park somewhere.

Did he not do us all a favour with Dabo? The guy was stealing a living!

Yeah but he didn't do fuckall to Corradi, so he's inconsistent as well.

I fully agree Slim, I was just comparing the reaction of the football authorities.
