forlanssister 3,087 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 We all know Joey was into horses and gambling so I do see him standing in a bookies shop.Half these bookies are tim orientated it would not be difficult for a tim manager to copy his betting slip and send it to the SFA. It is what they do. On the other side of the coin there is a difference between being outspoken short tempered, and just bloody stupid. He used his Betfair account. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Who would ever trust a bookie anymore? did people trust them before? as someone rightly pointed out barton, an expensive ian black Edited September 20, 2016 by jhunter 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,682 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Just on the radio there that he is alledged to have bet on C****c to lose heavily against Barca last week Christ, that wasn't actually betting, it was merely "buying money".

MacK1950 2,278 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 He is a working man and betting is a working man's distraction. The SFA rules are "draconian" as from what I can see was betting with his private account on something not involving his parent club. Is there not a Data Protection Act that may have been breached by the bookmaker in this instance?. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhunter 0 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Not questioning that but wondering about how bookmaker seems to have breached "Data Protection" are they not allowed to breach it in cases of fraud or this where he's not allowed to do it either way it was moronic and what is he needing to bet for? is he not paid enough for doing fuck all? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 are they not allowed to breach it in cases of fraud or this where he's not allowed to do it either way it was moronic and what is he needing to bet for? is he not paid enough for doing fuck all? This isn't a criminal investigation and the SFA are a footballing body. It's a breach of DPA and would be treated as such if followed up in the same way that if any of you guys were prohibited from betting while at your work and the bookie let your boss know that you put a bet on a a certain time. DPA breach and whoever leaked this should be hammered!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I was under the impression that you shall not bet on games involving your team? What reasonable explanation will they have that he shall not bet on the outcome of a Barca vs Scum game? Just "because"? IMHO, if they were actually checking all professional footballers in Scotland over betting, quite a few would end up at Pacific Quay. But hey, it is Joey Barton, let's burn the witch ... Scottish rules are no betting on football, period, I believe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
