Hank Scorpio Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I'm convinced it's just a storyline to keep us entertained during the incredibly dull international break. Its worked too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company once had some work at the Muller factory, but I can’t remember where, however as sub contractors we used to get the same deal as their employees on cheap yoghurt. We used to have so much of the stuff we were all sick of it after a couple of weeks, as we’re my friends,family and neighbours! I liked the stuff though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a reason why Roma let him go when a few years ago he was on of Europe's brightest young prospects. A signing coming straight from Monchi. Transfers should be best on statistics and coaching analytics, not because you are pals with them. I assume you’d apply that to both our former manager and former CEO equally then?in respect to the appointment of the manager and his subsequent transfer dealings?

My gran used to work on the production line at Cadbury's and was told she could eat as much chocolate as she liked for free at work (this was back in the 50's). She said by the end of the third day she was sick of the stuff and never ate it again in her life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good way for Cadbury's to keep the pension bills low. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the benefit of playing online poker or blackjack on an illegal site rather than one of the hundreds of legal sites? I suppose if you just get sent a link by a mate you may not know or care that it is illegal. Hopefully this is the case with Z. Well it seems there is only a few in Italy that are legal for tax purposes. For instance Stake.com evertons sponsor is not legal in Italy despite being one of the largest online casinos in the western world. Because it is run from an island in the carribean with advantageous tax rules. Basically these companies have to pay tax in Italy, but a lot of online betting sites do not and are therefore illegal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post romavillan Posted October 17, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2023 Ok here's a non clickbait round up of today's articles in the gazzetta... Tonali is in shock, his agent says he thanks Newcastle for supporting the player but that Tonali is playing an important match against his gambling addiction. He's been training with for Newcastle's game with Palace. There's been informal meetings between the players' representatives and the investigators in Turin, presumably looking to mitigate a ban and fine as much as possible. Fagioli has also made a deal to get a one year ban and a fine. The phones, tables and pc's confiscated from Tonali and Zaniolo haven't been fully investigated yet. It will take another few days to complete that process. They quote the same article of the same law I posted a few pages back, so the charges relate to betting on illegal betting sites and seemingly not "sporting fraud" which i guess means trying to influence results you've bet on. Zaniolo's defense is different to both Fagioli and Tonali, who are claiming they are the victims of a betting addiction, Zaniolo is saying he only ever played blackjack and cards and that he never bet on football. The truth will be in the phone/digital records which will come out at the end of the week. Then there's a bit which seems overly speculative to me about Zaniolo's character, that he seems sincere but he has lots of friends who are the type of people who fake friendship with celebrities to get money out of them. All on the front page of gazzetta.it, the above is a very brief synopsis of the important points of the 3 leading articles on the scandal. So looks like we'll have to wait till the weekend to see if the shit hits the fan for Zaniolo as well as Fagioli, but to be honest it looks like Tonali is already looking to say he's guilty, plead a gambling addiction and make a deal. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Fagioli's ban has been announced, but he has gone through a plea deal with the Italian authorities: Tonali is set to seek one too. Hopefully Zaniolo's decision to defend himself is the right one, seems that everything is happening fairly quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
