Also, the way the story has been leaked to the press is unfair, no reason the FA couldnt have made it clear when they charged Rob it was relating to a league cup game that had nothing to do with Stanley.
And why has it taken the FA so long to charge him?
There are as many questions for the FA to answer as there is for Rob.

If it was just the one charge for betting on the Villa v City game I might agree that it's a little harsh but the Accy Observer stated that : 'Around 500 bets have been investigated with some relating to Accrington Stanley or competions in which they were involved' so it's not so simple
