Manchester United 'ace' Ryan Tunnicliffe has been arrested for drink driving. He's written off his brand new Range Rover driving it around an industrial estate when he was pissed.

Ffs.

Still, there's this:

"MAN UTD captain Nemanja Vidic has given £100,000 for a new house to the dad of a former Red Star Belgrade team-mate who died in his Serbian homeland."

Speaking of doping in football, apparently you're allowed to miss six doping controls before they get on your poo poo, as opposed to two in every other sport.

In order for the bookies to be offering these spot bets in the first place there must be loads of legitimate punters. Who are they? Why is anyone betting on "Number of throw ins before ten minute mark" or w/e?

People good at "micro" betting can earn decent money over time with smallish stakes. Fiver on throws/yellows/reds/corners, over under etc etc. The lines exist because bookies want people to gamble obviously, more lines means more gambling opportunities. Suddenly people will spread X amount of cash on different things in a match as opposed to only being able to chuck money at a result or what have you. Over/under on corners is a logical continuation of being able to bet on the result (W/L/X), score, over/unders on goals, first/anytime goalscorer etc etc.

You can bet on almost anything with bookies nowadays, which makes spot fixing much easier to do and you'd need to be paying a fair bit of attention to spot something like a throw in within 10 minutes or something being done deliberately.

e: Obviously the bets are placed on markets in Asia simply because a big lumped sum on a benign event in a match that pays out, especially if it starts happening with any regularity, would be picked up by the bookies here and reported immediately.

Again, though, too much exposure. Better off getting the referee of some Georgian third-division game some hookers and blow.

They can make up to 60k iirc depending on appearances/expenses claims.

I am 100% innocent, and hope to be available for Blackburn's 1-1 draw this Saturday.

Rumours are floating around that the match Cascarino was referring to was the Boro 8-1 City match. Nothing riding on the match and it was the sacking of Sven and all the Thaksin nonsense was going on at the time, when the players weren't sure if they were getting paid.

Suarez got punished inside the bounds of acts happening during a football match and eventually got chased out of leagues with standards and into a tin pot second tier league. The long and short of the Ched Evans saga is if he admitted fault, showed remorse and moved on this wouldn't be an issue.

Yes it would, the only difference would be some athlete and sponsors would be pissy over a self confessed rapist being involved with Sheffield United.

That's not what was said though. If Ched Evans was as good as Luis Suarez he probably wouldn't be struggling to find a club and to be perfectly honest, with all the extra money he'd have from being much better than he is, may not even have been convicted at all.

Can you honestly not see the difference between a rapey footballer being on a football pitch doing football things and a rapey doctor or rapey teacher being allowed back into their profession where they have a duty of care and ample opportunity to be alone with people that would be directly at risk of said rapeyness?

sorry for doxxing Ninpo

Danny Hornby, from Fleetwood, Lancashire, was forced into hiding by death threats after posting a picture on his Twitter page of a tattoo on his back which reads '96wne'.

The letters 'wne' are thought to stand for 'was not enough'.

This was a sick reference to the 96 Reds fans who died at the FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

The tattoo sparked outrage among internet users who threatened to injure and even kill him.

Hornby, 22, reported to be a Manchester United fan, has apologised for the wording and vowed to remove the tattoo. But police urged him to move out until the uproar dies down.

Police had to step in because 22-year-old Hornby, from Fleetwood, Lancashire, feared for his life after fleeing his home with his girlfriend.

His parents, mother Kath and father Garry and younger sister Laura, have also moved out of the terrace house after the address was put on scores of internet ­forums.
