On FA website, Blackstock has been charged with "multiple breaches" of gambling rules. If he's found guilty, what is the penalty, fines, ban? Can the club use this as gross misconduct and terminate his contract? Maybe this is the end of his time with us, if he's found guilty.

If found guilty. 100% yes, I am VP for HR so will put my name to it!

If he is guilty and I do say if, then I hope they throw the book at him. He knows it's against the rules and the punishment would be severe but still chose to do it. Rules are there for a reason, to be followed not ignored so he has only himself to blame if the club kick him out and the FA hit him with a huge fine and suspension.

It could just be accumulators in the Championship on other clubs tbf - bit OTT reaction

Yeah it's betting charges that don't directly affect Forest or include match fixing - he's put accas on and included championship games basically. Hardly a life sentence.

It's still against the rules


6.) 22 Apr 2014
Yeah but it's not like he's bet on himself to give away a penalty at Derby after 84 and a half minutes, is it? No harm in an accumulator

But there's clear rules on players betting on football matches and if there not enforced it will send out the wrong message to other players. he knew the risks now he must take his punishment, as the saying goes if you pray for rain you have to put up with the mud

His punishment will be a small fine, which I'm sure he'll take. Bit extreme asking for him to be sacked from the club & given a massive ban

Goodbye Dexter

Sounds like dexter's been breaking bad, eh Heisenbergg?


11.) 22 Apr 2014
He is the one who knocks!

At the end of the day don't think he will ever be good enough for us again due to his injuries good time to get him of the wage bill

Poor Dexter. Sat at home, probably bored and cheesed off with his injury. Worried about the future. I know, I'll put a few quid on this weekends games to relieve the boredom. No one will ever know. He knew the rules, he'll take the consequences. Very sad.

Do you think that this is why the rumour about Dexter retiring a couple of months ago came from?
It's not like he can effect any games from his sofa except Fifa 2014.
