This group of Sheffield Wednesday players deserve every single bit of praise that comes their way. They’re an absolute credit to themselves and to this football club.
Unpaid, constantly left in the dark by the man in charge, and still going to war for #SWFC like that. Warriors.
Leicester City fans applaud Sheffield Wednesday supporters in solidarity amid the club’s ongoing financial struggles, as fans hold off entering the stadium in protest.
@camy__9344@Nick_Metcalfe Coercion explains the context, not the outcome. If you take part in match-fixing, under pressure or not, you compromise the sport.
@camy__9344@Nick_Metcalfe Sure, it wasn’t the worst offence - and yes, he served the time he was given. But a player involved in a fixing scandal coming back this quickly to potentially win the World Championship still looks bad. You don’t have to fix your own match to damage the sport’s credibility.
@camy__9344@frankfrance12@Nick_Metcalfe Never said banned for life. But let's not pretend bouncing straight back from a match-fixing ban to World Champion is a great look.
It doesn't scream "zero tolerance". It screams "have some time off, then carry on like nothing happened".
@camy__9344@frankfrance12@Nick_Metcalfe Do you really think it’s a good thing that someone found guilty of involvement in match-fixing and betting on this could go on to win the sport’s biggest prize? All this does is send a message that as long as you “show remorse”, you can eventually get away with it
