Harry Toffolo: Nottingham Forest defender charged by FA over breaching betting rules 375 times
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66180483
Quote:Nottingham Forest defender Harry Toffolo has been charged by the Football Association for breaching its betting rules.
It is alleged he breached FA rules, which ban players from placing bets or passing on information that could be used for betting, 375 times between 22 January 2014 and 18 March 2017.
He was signed to Norwich City at the time, and played on loan for Swindon, Rotherham, Peterborough and Scunthorpe.
Toffolo has until 19 July to respond.
It comes after Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney was banned for eight months in May after admitting to 232 breaches of the FA's betting rules.
Toney, 27, was initially charged in November 2022 and missed out on a place in Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad for the 2022 World Cup.
However, Toney 's ban was reduced from 11 months to eight, because of a diagnosed gambling addiction and he will not be allowed to play again until 17 January 2024.
Forest signed 27-year-old Toffolo from Huddersfield Town last summer, in a deal which also included Terriers midfielder Lewis O'Brien, for around £10m.
Toffolo made 19 Premier League appearances for the newly-promoted side during the 2022-23 season.
Forest begin the new campaign against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on 12 August (12:30 BST).

So what's the betting on a longer or shorter ban than Toney then?
What?
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 13-07-2023
Sean Scannell, still only 32 years old, has dropped to tier 7, joining Hornchurch FC in the Isthmian League Premier Division
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 13-07-2023
Scanz is only 32?? Wtf, and Mini-Scanz has gone to Both Endz. I know which of the two I'd rather have unless Scanz is now a month-on-month-off version of his former self.
I need a drink and a lie down, and a chocolate mint ice cream lolly and another drink. Oh, hang on, I need to cook dinner (or tea as we call it up noooerth). Best not BBQ the ice cream eh?

I ended up having a salted caramel pretend magnum.

Danny Grant is back in Dublin. Signed for Bohemians.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 14-07-2023

Reading - and some folk think we're up shit creek baht a paddle.
That penalty shoot out was as near as they got, back in the (almost) Summer of 17.

Oh and don't forget Wigan - two clubs with money men (ahem) that passed the so called "Fit and proper owners" EFL test.
I hope we are not in this category this time next season.

Meanwhile - all this expensive Prima Donna League talent (and many from other other leagues) that is going out to kick sand around in the dunes for funny money - who the hell is going to watch them in a competition that means 2/3rds of bugger all to anyone?
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 15-07-2023
Karlan Grant signs on loan for Cardiff. Odd move from Corbs. Even Jan Siewert managed to get a tune out of Karlan.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 15-07-2023
West Brom, including Corbs, kept playing him as a lone striker (when they actually picked him) rather than putting him on the left of a two. He scored most of his goals as part of a two (or three) up front rather than ploughing a lonely furrow. Like you say, rather odd to pay £15m for someone and then not set up the team to his strengths.
We've done the same with Rhodes, just that we didn't pay £15m to get him back, but he is one of our bigger earners.
