Blaming the Bookies and the SFA for his weakness and misdemeanours. If he must gamble, he could bet on umpteen things outwith football.

Black saying he was due to sign for Hibs and Mixu. Then Hearts came in for him. Wasn’t a story that I knew

His point is still valid and I said so on here at the time he was banned - it's rank hypocrisy for the SFA to take their money and then punish those who bet. Not to mention the ethical arguments regarding promoting what are for some people gambling addictions....... Originally Posted by Jim44

It’s not hypocrisy at all. He broke the rules - someone who was guilty of betting against his own team has no place to comment on the authorities being in the wrong because they are sponsored by bookmakers. Originally Posted by HoboHarry

What alcohol sponsors are we associated with now? Maybe it’s their fault that our players had too many pints last week.

As much as he is a welt of the highest order he is totally correct in what he's saying. It's rank hypocrisy to stop players betting on games outwith their leagues yet be sponsored by bookies. He was made an example of and players being players will always gamble. The rules need to be changed to allow gambling on games not affecting your league. It's a nonsense a player in Scotland can't bet on a man u game. Originally Posted by HoboHarry

Trying to be a smarta**e really doesn't help your argument. Also, where did I say he hadn't broken the rules? I didn't defend him - my issue is with the hypocrisy of the SFA and next time you might try reading the post properly before going on a childish rant. Originally Posted by WeeRussell

I actually agree in general that it’s a nonsense rule that bets can’t be placed on games not related to players. However I don’t accept the hypocrisy argument - rules are there and if they are broken you should expect punishment. I also don’t accept the argument from that horrible wee cretin who chose to bet against his team.

I was going to edit my post to point out that my “smart arse” comment was more at the scenario (and Ian black’s comments) than your post which I quoted to kick-off my reply. (My point is that we’ve a number of sponsors which put money into our game, a number of these are related to activities that you wouldn’t want players over indulging in and certainly not breaking rules to take part in). Black did break the rules - it’s not hypocrisy for the SFA to punish him for that. Originally Posted by HoboHarry

However seeing as I didn’t, I’ll take the lecture and reflect on what a child I’ve been.

There was a lot of debate on here from those that claimed to know him about whether he was a Hibs, Hearts or Man U fan. Originally Posted by Thecat23

There is no hypocrisy.
Betting firms sponsor Scottish football to advertise their company.
Football players, directors, managers etc are not allowed to bet on football due to their possible inside knowledge either directly or indirectly and importantly to avoid any perception of corruption.
The football authorities don't make a judgement as to whether betting is right or wrong hence no hypocrisy.
This is why Mr Black is a painter and decorator rather than a policy maker.

Betting scams are rife in sport. Organised criminal gangs are involved.
The rule that stops players betting on football is there to help combat it.
Players know each other regardless of which teams they play for.
For example, Dwight Yorke was at Man U when his very good friend Russell Latapy played for Hibs and Falkirk.
Would you have raised an eyebrow if Hibs had lost a game they were supposed to have won and you found out that DW had a big bet on it on the Asian markets?
Or that RL would miss a penalty, get booked, sent off etc etc.
I'm not suggesting that these things happened. Just trying to make my point.
People in football should not be allowed to bet on football. For the sake of the integrity of the sport, and to protect the players themselves.
That's my view anyway.
Whether betting companies are acceptable as sponsors is another issue.

We were completely “gazumped” by Hertz, in terms of wages. Similar story to a few others around that time, too. Vlad’s Monopoly money. Originally Posted by Thecat23

He looks like a rat and he acts like a rat. Can't stand him and not because he was good. He's a prick.
