Mr Angry 1,575 Posted January 19 How ironic that he will probably be facing Harry Toffolo in his first game back. So which match fixer takes precedence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately there is a pretty close link that is undeniable in this game. A small percentage but enough. I do agree that what Toffolo did and his age/situation appears pretty different though.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,907 Posted January 19 3 hours ago, nu_matik said: I do agree that what Toffolo did and his age/situation appears pretty different though. Toney's 262 offences, including betting against his own team, were committed when he was aged between 18 and 22. He bet on his own team's games 29 times, 13 times to lose, and didn't play in any of them. Toffolo's 375 offences, including betting against his own team, were committed when he was aged between 18 and 21. He bet on his own team's games 40 times, 15 times to lose, playing in one of them. Their offences are very similar. However, Toffolo got a lighter sentence due to 'mitigating circumstances', including mental health issues and claiming that he wasn't aware that he couldn't bet on his own team's games. He also showed remorse, whereas Toney tried to cover it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,369 Posted January 20 He’s a very good player no doubt but on the eve of his return he’s saying he wants to play for a club that ‘ wins titles ‘. Thanks Brentford for standing by me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
