Re: Sky news players charged bury game

As a matter of fact, I do think exactly that. But I would rather use the word "spend" than "waste".

Weighing up the odds, it's not a bad gamble. £4,500 to try to prove innocence; or risk a much...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

Because it would be a comparatively easy way to conceal his guilt. Guilty people try all kinds of tricks to conceal guilt.

I agree with ukcowboy. The club really should draw a line under the...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

Absolutely correct.

We still await the outcome of the club's internal enquiryinto this matter.

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

According to the LET report, Jimmy Bell reckons "it's been his (Cav's) livelihood since 10 years of age". Looks like he's been playing truant from school, then, too.

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

Let's not forget that the club was holding an internal enquiry anyway. Presumably the results of that will be announced after the FA verdict on Cav has been announced.

Of course, the internal...

Where did you get your information from? Obviously not a very reliable source.

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

I remain fascinated by the "internal investigation".

Has it happened?

What were/are/will be its terms of reference?

Who has carried/is carrying/will carry it out?

Will the former players...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

Please correct me if I'm wrong and my memory is playing tricks, but I thought that it was stated at the time that the bets were not simply on Bury to win but on a score of 2 - 0 to Bury.

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

This becomes increasingly bizarre! So the club is now going to have its own internal investigation. Better late than never, some may say. I wouldn't say that.

I wonder who will do the...

Thanks, yerself.

So clearly those who, earlier in the thread, were worried about the matter being sub judice need have no concerns. JB has proved that it isn't.

He has also more or less...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

Does anyone have a link to the quote in the LET?

Is JB speaking on behalf of the club?

Does this mean that the "no further comment" statement on the fishy site no longer applies?

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

I think I am correct in saying that it was the amount of money bet on this match that first raised suspicions. Were these merely many random and unconnected one-off bets? I did not use the word...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

Oh, dear. Maybe my comment was too subtle. I think you will find that the match report describes what one of the accused did in that circumstance.

OK, well let's put it another way. You bet on your team to lose 0 - 2. It's near the end of the match and you find yourself in front of goal with the goal at your mercy. You are almost bound to...

A timely reminder, K-P. They are accused of breaching the FA rules on betting as noted in one of the early posts in this thread.

We probably all realise that it is but a short step to making sure...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

As far as I know, no-one has ever suggested dismissing them before the outcome of the FA enquiry has been announced. What many of us want is for the pair to be suspended on full pay pending the...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

And that is just one reason why the club MUST act and suspend the two players. We know that the club is gripped by inertia in so many matters - but it cannot afford to be inert in this one.

I have read somewhere today that Stanley players were at a stag party on the night before the Bury match. Is that true?

If it is true, can it be right that players are allowed to attend such an...

No, certainly not. Apprehension, anxiety of what's been and gone. They affect me, and indeed any other fan, because we wonder if some members of the team that we are watching have (a) flouted clear...

Re: Sky news players charged bury game

Suspension involves no guilt or innocence - it is not a punishment. It is avoiding embarrassment to all concerned.

In this case, the fans (home and away) and other players will be suspicious of...
