Just watched the Griffiths booking. Never a booking in a million years, not even a foul.

Thanks for the rule update which I didn't need :?

Didn't say you did, just pointing out that it doesn't matter whether anyone can see from the stands or not.

Any sensible person, and I understand you struggle with that, reading your reply would think you were telling me the rule.

If you were just giving a rule to show you knew it then help yourself to a :star:

Having said that, is putting a bet on an excitable player and an ex Hibs player, both of whom would be getting wound up by opposition players and fans, getting booked in a game against Hearts really that strange?

It is if they are the ones placing the bets

I think it's against SFA / SPFL rules for a professional footballer to bet on any football in this country so yes, if they've placed bets it's instant disciplinary.

Not sure who the third person is but if they've all been in cahoots and the third person has placed a large bet on both being booked then it's very dodgy.

You sure you'd want that rather than a wee gold star? Strange boy.

If they really go after footballers who've bet on football that'll be about 75% of them.

If those pair have placed bets on things to happen in a Dundee game they are plain thick and would be well advised never to set foot in the city again.

I think they are both yellows.

Jersey pull and petulance.

Most footballers bet......it's a no no but it's done.

What shouldn't be done is betting on your own game.

Bookings change game, change managers tactical subs and Bhoy up the other team plus the then constant threat of being sent off.

Being reported it was a 118 k coup .....that would take bets of around 5k I think.

If true it's pretty much unforgivable imho, won't forget the oh so many good things both did for the club but they have both either trashed or at best tarnished ( if you are a lieniant ) liberal there legacy.

There's far worse crimes and they won't be the only footballer who have done, are doing or will do this in future but looks like the have been greedy/stupid enough to be caught.

Sad state of affairs.
