Why on earth would that conspiracy be a thing in the first place? Some people’s minds

 

[lemonjelly]

Banned during the game, can be shown before and after, there haven't been in play ads for a few years

Think in play ads can only happen after 9pm. This is why some games now kick off at 8.15.

Personally, as a recovered gambling addict I would ban all gambling sponsorship, advertising and other promotional activity within sport immediately and utterly. Everyone said it would kill sports when tobacco was dealt with that way, and it didn’t happen.

 

[Tony Towner]

I'd add crypto to the list if you are doing gambling. That said and I take your Ciggies point, but I think it'd hit certain sports hard, there's only so many things Cazoo can sponsor. Horse Racing being the obvious one, take the gambling sponsorship away from that and you'll go a long way to killing a lot of the smaller tracks and would impact the entire sport significantly. There wouldn't be the interest to fill the void given the obvious reason why gambling companies do invest

 

[leedswolf]

Horse racing and gambling have been intrinsic for a few thousand years?

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't mess with him tbh.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The questions were utter bollocks that were always going to be batted off with confidentiality. They asked ridiculous things.

 

[Kenny]

"Where's the money gone"
"Why did you employ Steve Bruce"

That kind of thing?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Along with who are we buying and who are we selling in the summer. Literally that dim.

 

[Kenny]

I can answer that

1) No one
2) Whoever is worth anything, so not many.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They were giving a phoning it in Rogic a fucking fortune every week too. Such a shame.

Klopp has been fined £75,000 and banned for two games. 1 game suspended till the end of next season in case he's not naughty again.
They ought to fuck off with all this 'you mustn't criticise the ref' bollox.
If the refs weren't so useless and consistently wrong, and VAR was operated better, then managers wouldn't be saying bad things.

He's got away for too long with screaming into the face of the 4th official so fuck him (Klopp)

Wasnt this one because he got in the 4th officials face and gave him some verbals when celebrating a goal?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

So Klopp got a bigger fine than Toney.

...injured himself in the process too. He did imply that the ref had something against them afterwards.

Well sort of, but he's only gonna miss one game, Toney's gone for 28....

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I don’t think the two in any way bear comparison to be honest.
