Gambling addiction is very real and very hosed, and one of those mental illnesses where many people still tell the person to "just not do it". It ruins your own life and that of the people close to you and I hope that maybe this can be a catalyst for football (and society in general) to have a serious look at its relationship with gambling hahahahahaha

Shut up DUMMY
I have a friend who gambled away $75k in inheritance within 6 months on sports betting.

His bets kept increasing as he would lose and need to "win his money back."

It's fine because we put a bit at the end of the 7000 adverts on every broadcast that says that if you, a compulsive gambler, think that you are having a problem with gambling, then don't do it

*footage of some lads playing 5 a side and having a good time*

We want to make sure everyone enjoys themselves when betting on the football

*lads down the pub with their phones out looking at the latest odds*

so we've teamed up with mental health charity x to come up with the rules for safer gambling

1) don't gamble in a way that makes us look bad
2) give us your loving dough
3) that's it

I remember seeing that advert that was some drunken lad in a kebab shop flicking through the odds on the Malaysian premier league or whatever and not shortly after one of the lads in a whatsapp group I'm in unironically asked if anyone had any tips for the Japanese cup final or whatever and I did a grim lol

Remember the German ref who got done taking bribes and it was for something like €15,000 over 3 years? People just never put much thought into how much they're risking their livelihood for

Correction, it was €67,000 and a nice TV set for 9 matches. Still a pittance to get banned for life and a prison sentence.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/nov/18/newsstory.sport4

Searching for this I found that Jude Bellingham got a €40,000 fine for calling out one of the other refs who only took "one" bribe but turned the other guy in. That guy's still reffing and you can't mention it even after he gives Bayern a dodgy pen and doesn't check VAR for your team. Lad's doing a good job of picking up the culture.

but yeah, nobody still knows what the gently caress is going on with United and if it will actually belong to someone or just to the wind, and I suspect Chelsea and Bayern are the only other clubs that might reasonably be in for him

still, all the noises are that nobody can be bothered to deal with Levy and it'll be easier just to sign him on a free in 2024

Given he got his ban reduced partly because the panel felt he was remorseful and agreed to seek treatment this doesn't seem like a great strategy

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Aren't there some rules around capacity etc they have to meet if they stay up?

Because I have absolutely no idea how the gently caress you expand a stadium where reception is quite literally under a bridge and this is a perfectly sensible idea for the entrance to a stand.
