Daft sod.



It was all so unnecessary .........

I'm sure we all appreciate your kind, sympathetic comment.

Evidence found of him wagering on 15 Halifax games apparently.

John as you well know I rate the Worrier , and would have him in our team at the LSV anytime , you never know.

I do, which dim wit advised him to appeal

Daft to appeal

Rob-ney.....what a plonker.



I can't believe what I have just read to be honest. Who on earth is advising him?



I can't remember when the initial ban was but I think I recall reading that he would serve his 6 months in advance of the play-offs? A fit and keen Rob would have been an asset at this time of the season, at worst to keep the other wingers on their toes.



Now that the appeal has been heard I wonder if Rob can break his silence? He is accused of betting against us 12 times. The tribunal say they have the device the bets were placed on. Rob denied it?



Rob is accused (and found guilty) of breaking rules that not only do the sport condemn, but I think most supporters would too. Now that the appeal is complete it would only seem fair that Rob is allowed to make his defence public.



What ever has happened I can't help thinking that Rob has been very silly. To what degree I don't know. I trust Rob and I like him both on and off the field but something just doesn't add up.

what an idiot hope we keep him though

I read the first article and was about to sat WTF how on earth can it be increased and thought he had good grounds to appeal. After reading the 2nd article and if its true he did bet against us then he should never play for the club again.

I like Rob and rate him as very good player. However, can he really play for Fax again. He has been found guilty of betting against his team. So straight away it will be asked did we lose those games he placed a bet on. Did he, while playing in those games, drop the ball, miss a tackle etc. if he did was it deliberate to give the out of the game he wanted.



I'm not berating Rob but you can see that these questions would be asked and if he played again and makes some mistakes, well?



Its the similar questions as the cricket players match fixing, not saying Rob was match fixing, but the seed of doubt has been sown.
