Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been banned from football for eight months after he accepted breaking Football Association betting rules.

Toney has also been charged £50,000 and warned about his future conduct for 232 breaches of the FA's betting rules.


His suspension starts immediately, but the 27-year-old can return to training with Brentford four months before it ends on 17 September.

He will not be allowed to play again until 17 January, 2024.

He put his hands up. The league should help him though he’s clearly got an addiction and the league encourages betting.

Admitting something doesn't make doing the bad thing okay.

Does seem like a harsh ban but I can't really get why top level footballers bet on inside information or drink driving etc They've got enough money to not have to do those stupid things.

I've had my fair share of vices but was never really in to gambling, but I can understand down and outers seeing it as a way out of issues but not overly privileged footballers, I just don't get it.

A lot of players come from "working class' backgrounds and when they have a lot of money they think they can do what they like without any consequences.

Only the scale of gambling is different for footballers. It is an addiction.
 
So apparently the contenders for the final promotion place have drawn from those "brick British towns" books they used to sell in Waterstones

It can be an addiction but not every bad decision should be titled as an addiction.

I hope I'm not coming off as insensitive but as I said I don't get it, if you have the money and everything that comes with it why make bets that can put your career in jeopardy? The scale is different as you say, arguably though if you have less to lose it's more punishing but if you break the clear rules set about and lose almost a year of playing top level football it seems an unnecessary gamble.

Just bet on horses or what the weather is going to be like or whatever other brick people bet on until you retire from the game, or use the insane amount of money to seek help (in the case of being a professional footballer).
