Something a bit dodgy here.

The guy has apparently just told officials that it was actually a pasty. So all bets lose.

 

[Dan Gleeballs]

46 years old and reserve goalkeeper.... size of him... even I'd fancy my chances of hatrick v this guy.

 

[Buzzer]

Come back when he's eaten 4 pies at one match. That was a feat managed by my eldest when he was 14, a few years back at the Amex. One before, one at HT and 2 after. Proper pie-eating, that.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Sounds like a betting scam or advertising payment as Betting firms were offering 8/1 on him eating a pie when on the bench.

Shows how the big money spreads corruption with it.

 

[Rugrat]

Serves them right ... hope they've had to 'fork out' a bundle

He's guilty.

He referred to it as "banter".

"Banter" is code word for "non-humorous/politically incorrect/illegal activity"

I love the banter defence - used sometimes for violent assault/bullying. I wonder how it holds up in court. Instead of pleading insanity, people plead banter now.

He's trying to make a few quid for himself in the future . He will probably get an advertising role with Pukka Pies or something . Anyway , why are bookies even allowed to take bets on these markets if it's so easily open to abuse

Ah shut up mate it was just banter cant you take a joke mate

 

[clippedgull]

Advertising stunt that has got the rag involved worldwide publicity worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

 

[Badger]

Now he's resigned.

He's got FOOTBALL PIE all down his jersey.

 

[Ernest]

That ended well, just shows how money can mess up something good

What an savoury incident.... or is it flake news?


Sorry

Sorry

Personally, I started to smell a rat when Steve Melton and Tony Mowbray appeared on the television coverage.

 

[Eeyore]

STAKE and kidney

 

[Dick Head]

I see Joey Barton's still got his job.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Now he's resigned.

He'll be eating Humble Pie now ... but obviously only once he's got all his mates to bet on it first.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Not banter, bunter
