Gambling Commission are the joke. Sunbets have got the publicity they wanted in spades and a few people made a few quid - no one lost.

Someone should tell GC that Betway are offering Douvan at 33/1 for the Champion Chase!

Absolutely spot on!  I bet Sunbets can't believe their luck, publicity worth well over six figures.  It is ridiculous with all the skulduggery and blatant fraud committed by the bookmaking industry on a DAILY BASIS that the GC are attempting to make Wayne Shaw a scapegoat to justify their own existence, as Brian rightly says, a 'joke'!

bit of a pie up   ..   happened late after all subs were on and 10 mins to go ..he had starved himself for hours to give a good show for the club   ,,,had he been playing  ?    may   not have happened ..? ...to be dismissed..   for  a default ????   what happened to verbal warning or written warming for discipline  .
not getting on as a sub was just too much to bare .   .. football taking any dosh they can from the game including adverts round the ground ..  gambling ..pies etc ..  ..
wake up call to football fans what a sad day it is .. to think  they can keep a lid on no footballers or staff enjoying a wager .   including single bets .. etc .. brought this on themselves .. One knows this  a .huge no brainer ..   ....  30 years   ago encouraging a person to bet in an office for that game was an offence by the bookmaker holding the licence .. >/the betting licence would be suspended  then revoked at next meeting of ...licence ...  board ..? ... times change all the time for the worse ..  What price was the guy not to eat the pie ..???

I kid you not. Sutton reserve keeper Wayne Shaw is in the bar at half-time.


No subs had been used when he was in the bar posing for selfies.

Romance of the cup  ??   man works for peanuts to get  badly abused for eating a pie or no eating pie  . ?.you could not make it up ..  Ten mins to go and subs all used ..  ..no chance of his dream coming true ..   .. no ROMANCE for him  so decides to eat his pie he has in his hand for near 40 minutes ,..  what happened to the KANGAROO  ON THE PARK  prove this is a one off time for real romancers ..

funny enough had an old bookmaker .. 20 years younger than me ?? laughing his head off .. if they laid 8 to 1  to five separate .. tenners  .   .. now it s   EVENS  .. ??  ... all a bit funny really ..
Always the biggest lads that ate all the pies .. Nothings changed .. only the Venue  ...??   SELL OF THE SILVER .. even I would huff and puff to lay him 8 T0 1   for cash this is the result ..?
KEEP IT AT LEAST A SHADE ON THE JOCULAR SIDE AS NOT FUNNY CHAP LOSING HIS JOB   ..  .. hope he gets reinstated poor chap ..  Must be honest he got stuck into the said  ..  Pie  ..no problem  ..   fans watching it was funny  ..  the manager dropped Arsen   A NICE BOTTLE OF EXPENSIVE WINE ..   Wrong way round he should  be bringing him a whole case ..??

Assume they will be onto Le Tissier for kicking the ball out of play at kick off for the spread betting? Sky will have to sack him as well for that.

The GC are a complete joke.

a pie too far  ............. poor chap  was in a dreadful place not getting on as a sub .. nearly chewed his fingers off ..?? .

BOOKMAKERS ..   GONE WRONG  A BIT ??

Just reading about this on BBC website which says

But Doswell said that while he had sympathy for Shaw, he also felt he had been "naive".

"He's been caught in this mad world over the last month that has enveloped us. His profile has got bigger and bigger, I think he embraced that," said Doswell.

Why has this man lost his job ? yes he has probably breached FA betting regulations however does that mean he has to lose his job.
Why have Sutton united caved in when they could have invoked other discipline measures as after all has he not built up any credit with all his work for Sutton united when balanced against this enticement by the bookies.
And then you compare this person losing his job against a Mr Barton of many indiscretions over the years when he has breached FA betting regulations 100s of times or is it 1000s of times and Mr Barton did not lose his job so this shows that Sutton united did not have to dispense with his services.

THINK IT WAS A GREAT BIT OF PUBLICITY FOR SUNBETS.
Would imagine every one was in on it.camera man got his 3 pounds on.
only like giveing you 40 max for opening account. and letting some of there very few customers have 40 as well.
bet 365 gives a bottle every time you open account.BRILL BIT OF THINKING BY SUNBETS.
