To quote from Rob's lengthy statement "
The FA betting rules have changed several times over the years and as a result of some of those changes I have unwittingly broken the regulations.
As a senior officer/executive it was incumbent on him to be fully conversant with the rules and regulations at all times. if there was confusion for him he should have sought advice. Indeed DAV007 education comes into it, self education.
Ignorance is no defence in the eyes of the law.
Rob uses the word "unwittingly" instead of ignorant, well I have read the rules of the FA on betting they are crystal clear to me.
And I'll tell you this for nothing, the man is still gambling in my book by going to appeal
or should I say hedging his bets??
