Sutton goalkeeper has resigned on 19:45 - Feb 21 by Darran | Does he often eat pies on the bench then? |
Does it matter? He was always going to do it if a national bookmaker was laying odds he would! | |

Sutton goalkeeper has resigned on 19:44 - Feb 21 by AnotherJohn | I suppose people looking for wrong-doing are going to find it - and perhaps not just with the keeper. But what strikes me about this is that the bookmaker must have had a fair idea he was likely to eat the pie or those odds would never have been quoted. |
Of course the bookies knew he would do it - he appeared in an advert for the bet holding a pie. There was never any doubt that he'd do it... which is where the problem occurs. It was a pre-determined bet which he fully took part in and controlled. | |

Sutton goalkeeper has resigned on 19:28 - Feb 21 by jackportis | I thought how pathetic that the football media tried to jump on the romance (as they call it) of this over weight middle aged reserve keeper being such a character eating this pie. So much for grass roots football. Football is a million miles from the likes of rugby. This fat waster placed a bet on himself. He has brought shame on his club and the chairman did right in excepting his resignation. I only hope the fatty doesn't appear on strictly, loose women or any other reality show. He was no character but a waste of space. |
Rugby? Remember bloodgate where AN Other rugby player bit on a blood capsule to fake an injury to bring another player on a a blood replacement | | | |

I'm not saying everything was pukka but the risk seems to have fallen precisely on the party that did control events - the bookmaker. The company knew what would happen and could decide how much to pay out. In effect the payment was the fee for the publicity stunt. And the kind of publicity they are getting wouldn't have come cheap by any other means. Disclaimer: I don't work for Pukka Pies, but I've eaten a few. [Post edited 21 Feb 2017 20:07]

Eh? It's fixing a bet. Sun Bet offered 8-1 on him eating a pie - he ate a pie. How can people be so thick? | |

Sutton goalkeeper has resigned on 18:58 - Feb 21 by shandyjack | So if Harry Kane's mates have bets on him to score a goal is should he resign if he scores? |
His job is to (try) to score goals. You're betting on him achieving it with no guarantees. The keeper sticking a pie in his mouth is settling a bet by fixing it. Why is that so difficult to grasp? | |

Much to the amusement of the BBC commentators. Laughing at the fat man stuffing his face - what a character! What a complete and utter prick should have been the words Keown used. | |

Nothing thick about it. Just don't see the harm in it if he hasn't profited from it. | |

Don't be so stupid. So if his mate had put £100 on that makes it ok then? The fatcoont is an embarrassment to his club for allowing himself to get so fat. It's a football club trying to get into League Two not a Sumo Wrestling Club ffs. | |

Agree, but that's an entirely different bet altogether, and one i doubt the bookies would offer, as he would not be able too oblige at a set time during a live game. | |

He was the one who chose to go ahead with it. Can you or anyone remember any of the players who worked their b*llocks off on the cup run? No. Yet lardy boy steals the limelight. | |

Sutton goalkeeper has resigned on 20:35 - Feb 21 with 1082 views | skippyjack | The bet was a pie at 8/1.. The keeper ate a pasty. What bookies did he do over?.. or are the bookies purposely targeting the keeper for financial gain in exposure payments? | |
