So he should have been banned back when he pleaded guilty to a bunch of the charges. We all knew he was going to be banned, but to start it with 2 games to go is a farce.

Ridiculous to ban him for 8 months and totally disproportionate.
Mitrovich shoves a ref, violent conduct and gets 8 games, Toney who is clearly addicted to gambling and has a problem, is not helped but banned for 8 months?
It's total BS....... feel sorry for Toney and Brentford fans as we all want to see such talented players play.. .
Some form of gambling community service and a big fine wouldve been far more sensible, but FA and sensible don't go together do they.

Withdrawn.
Spot on.
Sorry that a twat posted an offensive reply to one of your posts on this thread (now deleted). You have one of the finest minds on NSC and I am delighted you take the time to engage
I should think so too. Well done for that, at least.

Don’t disagree. It’s a shambles every which way.

Toney is lucky he wasn't playing with Peter Swan.
That's two god-botherers done for betting relatively recently. Stuzza was the other. Perhaps they see praying as the best bet for eternal life?

He’d already pleaded guilty before he played and scored at the Amex for them. I know this is Albion hat on but…. Doesn’t seem fair….
Bizarre decision to ban him as of now…….leaving themselves wide open to criticism. Absolutely stinks.

Ban should have started from the first game of next season - as said above, this would have been a life ban before football lost its senses.

The game that is sponsored up to the eye balls by betting companies handing an 8 month ban to a young player addicted to betting.
In an enlightened time someone might go...'hang on a minute..."
Fairest and most sensible option would have been to ban him for 19 games next season - one game against every other club, which in a normal year would be pretty much the first half of the season anyway.
People saying it seems excessive compared to other offences (Mitrovic for example) - I can understand their feelings, but Toney offended - what was it? - 260 odd times. A bit of totting up there, I reckon, reasonable enough.
