Overkilled build-up could only lead to one outcome, anti-climatic game?

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
Sutton gave it a good go actually.
Funny how Arsenal were able to pass the ball on a 3G pitch. Why can't we? Not the pitch but the players that are the problem I would say.
Too much commotion

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
I enjoyed that match good to see some traditional old school tackles going in. Best moment was the Sutton subby keeper ( Circa 18st) eating a pie while sitting on the bench, great stuff. All that was missing was the referee getting chased to his car at the end.

Worst reason I've ever heard for someone losing a job, binned for pie-eating.

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
Shameful that the betting company offers such a bet and the big daft goalie gets vilified for eating the pasty.
Technically, he's possibly not done anything wrong, and it's highly hypocritical of the authorities, in this case the FA, and the gambling companies and commission, in this case SunBet, to take any moral high ground.
It would be great if he took on the authorities over this, in an 'Albert Kinloch' style.

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
He has done nothing wrong technically Pat,you are correct.
The FA obviously putting a bit of muscle on Sutton because they don't want to piss off the betting companies (potential sponsors).
Feel sorry for the guy.Was reading he coached their disabled and woman's teams.So obviously a big part of his club.

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
Whether he knew about the bet being available or not, what's he meant to do?
If he doesn't eat a pie, surely he could still be fixing the bet?

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
He's only fixing the bet if there was a bet saying he wouldn't eat a pie surely?
And unless he eats a pie mid game often and he's aware the bet, he's fixing the bet.

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
The bookies took the bet tho. They coulda refused it.
Wonder if the guys who bet on it got their winnings. Surely if there is a suggestion of cheating, then the bet's null and void, therefore punters get their stake back.

If there's a bet saying he'll eat a pie then there's a bet saying he won't by default.

Re: Sutton Utd v Arsenal
Just wicki'd him cos I sort of remember him on the tele v Arsenal during Sutton's cup run.
He scored 5 goals in that 7-game cup run but in 44 other league games he only scored 8 goals.
51 games then last season, can't be often injured.
Career goals 19 in 149 games which isn't very good for a striker in the lower reaches.
Let's hope he keeps it up at the House of Fun 
Slateford Arab obviously saw something in him tho...
