~The Sixth Sense~ Hamilton Academical 2019/2020 Thread

I think it may have been a harsher punishment but for the fact that doing so would have brought increased scrutiny about the governing bodies' relationship with betting companies. 

If gambling addiction is to genuinely be treated as a disease, then any sort of ban feels wrong IMO as it's hard to see what it achieves (apart from having Rice kicking about the house more, watching wall-to-wall gambling ads on Sky Sports).

If it starts immediately (Eg Sunday) and includes the Scottish cup then it’s only really 3 important games, lovely.
Is it just a touchline ban? That might make a wee bit of a difference considering how often he changes shape during games.

It also might've been harsher if he'd have been caught as opposed to reporting himself.
