Nothing against him and i've nothing against betting, but If he knew the consequences of what he did could be potentially harsh what a silly silly man.

Could end up costing him more than the 50k fine as those rumours of a move to one of the big hitters may well disappear now. He’ll be nearly 28 when he can play again. Wonder what would have happened if was Harry Kane facing the charges.

Wonder what would have happened if was Harry Kane facing the charges. Nothing, probably open him another online account. Seriously seems a little harsh compared to some punishments for other things that go on. But he knew the rules but as you say if it was Kane or any top clubs star no way would it be this long.

Footballers know they can't bet on football but still do. Deserve the punishment they get given. Dint joey Barton get banned for ages for betting on matches

Footballer banned from betting whilst advertising a betting company on his shirt.
If he hasn’t bet on the outcome of his own games, what’s the problem…?

Does this mean he’ll miss the 2-1 win at Spurs this Saturday at 12/1? 😉

Presume he wasn’t accused of betting for his own side otherwise that could be match fixing?
Guess it’s really 5 months of playing time.
Question is what took them so long to hear the case?

Ban any mention of betting anywhere at a football ground and on TV. The hypocrisy is absolutely disgusting and I feel for Ivan. Yes, he should know better but he's not the first or last to be drawn in to the constant barrage of BET BET BET

Who'd have thought a young person with loads of disposable income would spend it on something unwise?
Ivan Toney, Skybet Championship top scorer the other year, playing for Hollywood Bets sponsored Brentford, who've also been sponsored by Leo Bets and 888 in recent years. Toney was formerly of Newcastle, who've been sponsored by Fun88 for 7 seasons. Also formerly of Peterborough, who have announced sponsorships with 2 gambling companies, Stake and QuinnBet, within the last 3 months.
Be a walking advertising board for it, help us normalise it, but don't you dare do it. They've tanked the career of one of the best English strikers to make an example of him, with a punishment akin to one he'd get for taking PEDs. Wish someone would make an example of the betting companies whose strategies prey on desperation, addiction, and vulnerability.

Good to see the FA making it clear that there's no place for gambling in the Beautiful Bet365 Game.

Football is unfortunately filled with hypocrisy. Toney will get a big move at 28 anyway, will be hitting his prime a la Van Persie.

8 months is a joke.
If he placed bets for match fixing it should be years.
If he didn't then it's a stupidly long suspension. A game with betting at its core suspending a player for betting. Ferdinand got the same for doping. Barton got about half that for 6x the bets.

If players want to bet and don't want to risk getting banned, they will just get friends or family to place bets for them
