I've never gambled outside of friendly bets and hope I never will.

However it doesn't sit right with me that these guys can make billions from betting companies but ban players for using services which appear on their literal shirts and plastered all over the stadium.

Why don't they just allow it but with strict oversight (i.e. all bets and winnings must be disclosed, no betting on teams within your league, no spot bets etc.)

The biggest issue I think is a potential conflict of interest but they can come up with measures to prevent that or make it very difficult. That level of transpency will also allow authorities to pick up on players who may be betting excessively and offer them professional help if required.

Redcafe a trip. Some people tryna say Pogba was an “average” player.

Starting midfielder in 4 back to back Scudetto winning campaigns plus a pivotal player in France’s world cup win. EL to boot as well.

Sure, his career could have been so much more but that’s far from average.

Most pro players player their entire careers and never even lift a domestic cup.

Some footie discussions are by mental people I swear.


like "Mo Farah" aka "Sir Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah" (born Hussein Abdi Kahin)

or Mohammed Ali (called Ali)

:hubie:

Still…why the name shortening. Doesn’t explain it..unless the British media wanna take out the Islamic reference.

When Pogba was great he was great when he was poor he was poor and the rest of the time he was somewhere in the middle for Yanited. So they would make him average. :manny: People can piss and moan about the set up and him being played out of position but that still doesn't excuse the fact for his effort at times was lacking otherwise he wouldn't of got the name Jogba.

Regarding the names. Because a) we love a nickname/short form b) its quicker and theyve probably asked around the club when they do their research on names pronunciations etc and what the player is referred by within the club. You arent going to say a name like Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan everytime on comms are you? Reason why he was universally known as Venkat.
