8 month ban (really 5 months of playing time) is still really harsh.
All for a few bets, Mitrovic got 8 games for pushing a referee, Trippier got 10 weeks for a blatent no lose bet for a mate.
Hate the inconsistency from those in charge of the league, wouldn't have been 8 months if in a top 4 side.
Makes you wonder what punishment will be dished out to Everton come judgement day. (see this has been palmed off already!)

It wasn't a "few" bets though was it. He was charged with 262 i believe, over a 4 year period. That's not an odd flutter, it's weekly bets over a sustained period. He knew the rules and chose to break them.

Misses the champ
On the brightside any minor lingering hope of Arsenal getting the title has just evaporated knowing that Man City will be playing a Toneyless Brentford on the last day of the season.

still 8 month ban appears a little excessive. Fine him 8 weeks wages and give him a 4/6 game ban. Donate that fee to anti-betting groups or rehabs etc..
Make you wonder if FA have sought to help him, does he need support? is an average of one bet per week excessive? Could 8 months not being able to do his job drive him to look at other ways (gambling) to pass the time. I don't think the punishment is fit for the offence.

Looking into whether he needs support is standard I think. No sympathy for him, accepted his wages, bonuses etc, knew the rules, broke them. Can't have all the trappings of a football funded lifestyle yet snick your nose at the rules.

It's not excessive.
Players indulging in betting gives rise to deliberately throwing matches and ruining the competition as a product.
It's no different to people who work in finance having to sell investments if there's a clear conflict of interests, and if they don't and then subsequently get caught they get fired, not told to go on gardening leave for a couple of weeks.

Can't Play Left-Back
Can we have our points from Brentford back? As he had already admitted guilt on some of these charges, why hadn't he already been given a ban for those, and extend the ban pending investigation to the further ones he denied? It's an absolute joke it's taken this long to sort it out.

What will the table look like without Toney's goals. Anyone have 15 minutes to kill?

It would have been shameful if they were playing a relegation rival next. Arsenal have blown the title now but again they faced Brentford with Toney and City face them without.
Absolute joke this includes pre season. Any ban should just start at the start of next season. Let him play on this season to make it fair for all, or do the hearing in June after the season.

I see your points and understand the position and similarity, however, for me 8 month ban is excessive.

Joey Barton got 18 months. I think it was reduced in the end

8 months for Toney, and you can bet your house it will only be a strongly worded letter to Everton for much worse.

It was, reduced to 13 months I think.

More than 4 times the total bets and over a longer sustained period.

Apparently the ban was going to be 6 months but due to the timing of it he gets an extra few months as he'll be off anyway. Don't know how true that is.

I was wondering whether they waiting to see how the season panned out before announcing the ban, their last game was against West Ham who could've still technically gone down at the time. It might've opened up a whole new can of worms if they faced a Toney-less Brentford and the rest of us didn't.
It's not inconsistent or harsh at all, Trippier told a mate he wasn't going to Athletico? And they placed loads of money down, he literally had no control over that and confided on a close friend and got essentially a 2.5 month ban, Toney placed just under 250 bets on football and gets 3x the ban of Trippier. The 50k fee is pathetic may as well not bother, 3 days training and he's earnt that back.
Mitrovic got done for violent conduct usually a 3-4 game ban, when realistically it was barely violent conduct and got a harsh ban as a deterrent.

Poor for leaving this so late into the season. Should have been suspended as soon as he admitted it.

Betting on your own team is soft match fixing, it's right they throw the book at him.
Barton got a similar sentence & he actively bet against his own team a few times - I would guess Toney's might be the same.
If Toney bet on cards I would have banned him for life for match fixing.

In transfer news, Leeds' Weston McKennie is about to sign for Brighton - just as he's about to play for Leeds in their most important few matches for years.
