Hypocritical anti-Semites.

I agree entirely that gambling addictions lead to many sad, ruined lives - and not just for the gambler but their families too.

Alcohol use/abuse leads to many similar problems.

Do we ban alcohol from football grounds for the same reasons when many can drink sensibly?

Ivan Toney wears a Brentford shirt with Hollywood Bets emblazoned across his chest, yet the hypocrites in the FA/EPL alliance ban him for eight months for betting.

Alan Pace said he would not endorse betting until the W88 chequebook comes out.

The hypocrisy is nauseating.

Interesting BT, it didn't stop you going to watch our matches in the Sky Bet Championship last season and you were only too happy that we won it. Is that not hypocrisy in your book?

We were sponsored by a footy shirt company last season Supersub6 but that's of no consequence to the ALK stance that they were disgruntled with the betting sponsorship when they took over.

Big money talks, the hypocrisy belongs to the owners of Burnley Football Club, not me.

Our local C of E vicar is often seen reading the Racing Post but he does not own Burnley Football Club nor does he claim that shirt sponsorship by betting companies is immoral.

I think you are misrepresenting the case with Ivan Toney.

It is part of the rules that a professional footballer cannot bet on football matches. As far as I am aware Toney could bet on the horses, cricket, darts you name it.

The FA/PL is enforcing that rule - not simply that he placed bets. It was the same with our Joey and others. Peter Swan was the first, I recall.

I do not think it is hypocrisy on the part of the FA/PL in enforcing a rule that all professionals sign up to. They know the rules.

Whether or not football should be associated with gambling is another matter - but, then, why single out football? Ban gambling being associated with horse racing? I believe that, in their time, jockeys have been found to be betting on races and have been banned.
