A couple of people have mentioned his addiction to gambling - 1.25 bets per week over a 4 year period is hardly an uncontrollable addiction.

I have granola for breakfast nearly every morning so my granola habit is around 5 times worse that Toney's gambling issues.

The charges only refer to football bets, I accept he could have been betting on other things.

And for the record, I can stop eating granola any time I choose.....


Are you sure I tried coming off the Oatibix and couldn’t hack it

Sounds as though he is lucky the ban isn't longer! Gambling addiction diagnosed and taken into account with the sentencing, apparently.

In hindsight it's a pretty good bet and shows confidence in his own abilities if he was out injured 😁

Toney got a reduced ban because he got his  (or a) psychiatrist to give testimony on his behalf.  He said Toney had admitted his addiction and was seeking professional help.

I’m glad he admitted his addiction and I’m glad that was taken into consideration but all those that suggested it was harsh and that he hadn’t bet on his moan team now look a bit silly…

The really sad thing in all this is that a bloke who clearly has a talent will now be remembered for this, for the rest of his life probably…

Maybe I'm the minority but feel his sentence is harsh he never played in any of the matches he bet on.. he's admitted he has a problem and hopefully he can now get the help he needs..

The bigger problem for me is the EFL, FA all accepting large amounts of cash to promote gambling all the shirt sponsorship that seems to be the norm.. Will be surprised if Toney is the only player falling foul of the laws.
