Despite being in our division, I think "other football" is more appropriate. I will leave any further consideration to the moderators.

Rob Heys was MD of Accrington Stanley - here is his statement

In my opinion, as an official of a club betting on his own club, sometimes to lose and sometimes in bets where the bet is "two or more goals in a game" is a serious offence. Mr heys is quoted

"I accept that I broke the rules and that I must receive a punishment. However on consideration and following consultation with my representatives we do feel that a suspension period of 21 months is severe and inappropriately harsh"

In my opinion, the suspension was inappropriately lenient.
