Or maybe they just thought he'd been manipulated by the others and it seemed over the top to likely end his career over it. Just guessing, it does seem as cut and dried a prosecution case as you could get. Edited June 16, 2023 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just guessing, it does seem as cut and dried a prosecution case as you could get. Not proven is an odd verdict which I think they are phasing out imminently. It's a peculiarly Scottish middle ground which amounts to "we think you did it but don't think on balance they've quite proved it beyond reasonable doubt". Suspect the point here was they couldn't prove he'd got the booking deliberately as he denied that. He admitted taking cash but said he'd "forgotten about it" and got booked exactly when he'd been paid to do so coincidentally! The SFA charged him with unrelated offences. It's surprising he's gotten off so lightly with those given he was found guilty but I know there are all sorts of arguments they take into account in determining penalty. It will be interesting to see of the SFA subsequently charge him with anything relating to the booking incident but you'd assume if they were going to they'd have done it at the same time. Looks like Montrose have 'won a watch' here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Bet365 even got their money back... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is travelling up and down for training and matches that’s gonna be about 1500 miles a week, fair play if he’s willing to put the mileage in but surely we’re gonna be coming to some sort of agreement where he only takes one session a week or something or I can’t see it being sustainable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
