Banned from competitive football for 18 months and fined £30 k for placing in excess of one thousand two hundred bets on the outcome of football matches between 2006 and 2016. Admits he's a gambling addict but has vowed to fight the charge because he deems it to be excessive !!
Never ceases to amaze me just how big a tw*the this bloke is. Just the lowest form of life. Self opinionated scouse moron.
Wonder if it would have been an England international, the same punishment would have been handed out
Can't believe some on here thought we should try and sign him - what a poor role model.... Sent from the darkest recesses of a poisoned mind.
The fine and ban are far too low and short really. He took part in match fixing. Pure and simple. He played in games where he had the opportunity to set up a goal for player A whilst knowing he had a bet on player B scoring the first goal.
The competition we compete in is the Sky Bet Championship. Burnley, Barton's current club, is sponsored by Dafabet... Maybe the football authorities should take a hard look at themselves?
18 month ban and a 30k fine for spending his own money . I wonder why the betting company didn't report this earlier as he's been doing it for 10 years , they must have had his personal and account details . I wonder why ?
