Andros Townsend

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Unfortunatley, he has been identified right in the middle of a period in which a global investigation is happening regarding the fixing of games. Not saying he is involved but its the timing.
If all he has done is stick a couple of quid on 4 draws and a fiver on two from each section i fail to see the problem, especially if it didn't involve QPR games.
his new Anthem
4 month ban, thankfully 3 of which are suspended:-

"The remaining month is backdated to May 23, meaning Townsend must refrain from all football activity until June 23."
So no issues for start of the season then?
So basically he's going to miss one or two training sessions?
He bet on QPR losing 1-0 at home to ArseAnal, with a Theo Walcott goal coming in the first 25 seconds...!!!
Nah, I think he had money on Palace winning the Play-Offs or something...
(clearly knows his stuff mind!)
You can't be banned from training sessions, surely? What if he went and did some kick-ups in the park? Ran on a treadmill? This is just 100% nothingness. He's suspended for his holiday. Oh noes.
He is missing the U21 Euros which the FA probably decided was punishment enough.
I'm not exactly sure what this is all about as details are few and far between and I agree that if he wasn't involved in any games he betted on I don't see the problem.
Football365 noted this in their article
"Townsend was not accused of betting on matches he had any involvement in, but the FA operates strict rules that forbid gambling on a wide spectrum of games."
Maybe he was betting in a way that suggested some sort of match fixing? It's always annoying when they don't go into detail about the story.
Still no beach football for Andros or the FA will be coming down on him like a tonne of bricks!

Right now , Im sure he is saying....
"it could be worse, like 4 more months at Loftus Road".
