Secondly, as we once had with brewing companies and alcoholic beverages, the game is saturated with big money sponsorship deals, on shirts, billboards, and the endless advertisements during every single match in the UK. He deserved to be punished, as did Toney, but we don't even seem to be acknowledging the hipocrasy in all of this.

It doesn't really matter because the Italian charges didn't include any of the betting infractions that took place in England, so that then becomes a separate charge under the jurisdiction of the FA/EPL and therefore should be dealt with in its own right.

The offenses were before the ban and he was open in the investigation. The FA has known about this... at most give him a ban that serves out concurrently with his current ban.

I may be very biased but IF he has cut out the gambling and has obviously had a significant punishment, I don't quite see the point of punishing him further if the problem has effectively already been resolved and these charges are from BEFORE the initial judgement. That is the point here right? To excise/ extirpate the actual problem here- pure punishment has no point to it. That said, I am annoyed that he's come to the club for big money and stupidly broke the rules as a Newcastle player. Tonali's suspension was also the catalyst that destroyed our season- had he been available the injuries wouldn't have hit nearly as hard.

I'd like to know his strike rate prior to any judgment.

I wanted to know when he was told he was he was under investigation by the Italian FA, it was the 12th October 2023 and had to leave the Italy Squad training camp. The last betting breach reported by the England FA was October 12th 2023 according to everything I can find online. There’s a few individuals declaring he was betting after the Italy betting Investigation was declared. I want to know whether they’ve found different or they’ve not checked the facts.

Society needs some form of protection from Floyd characters. If they're capable of reforming then great but we cannot operate under the assumption that they are already motivated to reform.

Whilst I think breaking rules requires punishment, it's important to consider the effect of a playing ban. I'd argue that an extension of the current ban would damage Newcastle disproportionately compared to Tonali. I think the FA would be better served by forcing Tonali to do community work, both in and out of football, to raise awareness of gambling and the dangers involved. This takes up Tonali's personal time (which may still affect his performance for Newcastle) but saves Newcastle from having 50 million pounds worth of player on their balance sheet that can't contribute. My understanding is that he's already required to have done such work as part of his current punishment, so it seems a more reasonable avenue to pursue. That being said, if the intention is to improve how clubs monitor their players relating to gambling or behaviour more widely, then extending the ban would potentially be the better punishment as an incentive for Newcastle and other clubs to ensure their players don't fall foul of the same issues.

Tonali has clearly put himself in an invidious position and dollars for donuts suggests he will get a longer ban

I support Newcastle and he's been flagrantly breaking the rules, him and Milan knew what he had coming and he continued his behaviour.

These aren't new offences, they're offences from the same time period that he was already investigated and sentenced for, just in a different jurisdiction. He hasn't committed a second offence.

Imagine watching a game in the future with tonali playing and thinking this is probably a legitimate game.

These 'new offences' are in continuation from his original offences the only difference is he moved country. Its not as if he got charged and then decided to gamble again after that. He has already missed the whole season so what good would it be to extend it beyond this even further? It would be different if he had started gambling again after being charged

Sentences often run concurrently in criminal law. The FA have to go through due process as these 50 offences occurred under their jurisdiction. Any punish should run concurrently. Tonali did notify the FA of these offences.

Unfortunately it's new offences, that he cooperated should add leniency but does require an additional consequence. If someone was found to have additional speeding offences after having their license suspended, there would be additional consequences for actions not yet punished. He may be suffering but he has done this to himself. There are many people suffering the consequences of other people's actions that don't get the support Tonali is getting.

Why don't they fine players for indescretions like they do in the NRL?.. Nothing hurts players more than paying fines from their own pockets

He’s received a ban & is getting the help he needs & focusing on a comeback & taking positive steps , these bets took place before he come to Newcastle , punishing him & Newcastle further only sets him back .

It makes little logical sense for it to be “extended” (as in a further ban tagged on the end of his existing one) it should only really be extended by a new concurrent ban slightly overlapping his current ban Tonali went to the English FA when the Italy proceedings were starting and disclosed this information, the FA have only just reached their verdict It would make very little sense for the FA not to hand out immediate punishment and instead delay it and tag it on the end of a ban that was from another organisation and an investigation the FA were not part of. There’s not justifiable motivation to reach a verdict and then wait 5 months to give out the punishment, the punishment if there is one should run alongside the one from the Italian investigation, the only real way and “extended” ban makes sense is if he has 5 months left on the existing ban and the FA want to hand him an immediate 6 or 7 month ban for the 50 breaches here, in which case it would be an additional month or two

AC Milan would been rueing selling him to a club like Newcastle. This is the current state of high end Italian clubs. Selling top players to Premier League outlets. In retrospective Milan must be so relived. They bagged £52,000,000 for the sale & don’t have to deal with an ultra toxic issue.

As someone who has a brother who has a gambling addiction for these to say that the guy knew the rules and should have not bet is ridiculous. Addiction is an illness and needs to be accepted as that in sport like in any other walk of life, I guarantee the player will be hurting and will be humiliated for himself and family. Sadly in the future he will have set backs just like alcoholism and drug addiction, the man needs help not punishment after punishment, that doesn’t work.

But if i may ask after being banned meaning doing nothing with competitions for a specified period of time, they're supposed to monitor him from the time of his resumption,hope am not wrong here

10 month ban is already ridiculous, other players have had less bans for actual crimes. Its over move on nobody wins from adding another few month on when its already been 10 months.

" A heinous crime " it's good to hear Simon Jordan starting to chill a little .

Trying to say Ashworth is to blame or he should have asked around is grasping at straws for someone to blame.

Our society is very incoherent, we talk about mental health and addiction out of one side of our mouths whilst we're bombarded, literally bombarded, with gambling adverts 24/7. Adverts on the billboards, radio, in stadiums, in programmes, on shirts, it's non-stop.

The FA are a joke. Gambling companies are everywhere in football and now they want to clamp down on betting. Where’s man city with their 115 charges

People really do underestimate gambling addiction - he needs help more than anything, bans won’t stop him. He’s human at the end of the day and gambling addiction can be just as crippling as alcohol and drug addiction - really hope he gets healthy and back on the pitch soon

👏, Well said....

I've never bet on anything so this is a new area for me. Is having so much money a part of it? I feel for anyone who has an addiction. We are all human.

What usually happens is someone who never bets makes a bet and wins, from there you’re constantly chasing that high adamant that your bet is going to come in, then from there it can spiral

I don’t feel that I know all the facts yet. On one hand Newcastle said he fully cooperated with the Italian investigation so must have disclosed betting in the Premiership. This wasn’t a new period of abuse after previous punishment was initiated so why would the FA get involved now instead of earlier? If he didn’t admit the Premiership bets then he could be punished again but it’s taken a ridiculous amount of time to get here.

what about the Huddersfield lad 484 bets 4 month ban 3200 fine why the difference

52 Million Spent On Him WOW

The problem with this, it’s not all that black and white (pun not intended), you can have a game riddled with gambling that’s on almost every advert, on shirts, in stadiums, in build up adverts on the telly etc etc and then punish anyone from within who has an addiction? The issue is that the two are undeniably related. How much longer can you go on punishing individuals when the soul of football itself is infected with betting to its very core? And I’m not saying Tonali didnt/doesn’t deserve a punishment, but at some point there has to be a cut off. The lads an addict, he needs and is getting the necessary support. Isn’t a year long ban not enough?

Toneys had zonali to be back by april at 10/1

WOW Simon and Jim betting on if NUFC are paying him.....Waging is another word for betting.

Jim acting like he does not understand addiction. "He should have thought of that!" Funny huh?

One thing: PIF definitely has more legal power than the FA. Does the FA want this fight? I don't want to see the PIF destroy the FA. Or do I?

It's a 10 month football ban, not 6 as as Simon has suggested as there is the European championships that he will miss. I think a 10 month ban in a career as short as a footballer is appropriate. If he does it again throw the book at him.

agree with martin but if shown tonali betted on toon games this season he was involved in is definitely a different more serious matter

Any new penalty should now be a fine only on the player

So Tonali gets a longer ban than karate kicking a fan in the stands??

Why?why?I don't understand, he is getting loads of money on week,why bedding?

Same opinion as Toney. Permanently ban them from the sport. I have to same opinion of anyone caught gambling IMO especially when its to do with actions within the players control
