Isn't it today? Any idea when we are likely to hear anything?

He's going to let them in on a couple of certainties he has for this month if they let him off.

FA Panel: "what have you got to say for yourself Joey?"
Joey: "put 30k on England not getting out of the group in Russia"

8/1 with Sun bets to eat a pie at anytime during the hearing.

I missed this at the time but how did the FA find out about his bets in the first place?

Genuine question; I can't imagine he publicly announced it and surely a betting company can't share confidential information. Was he grassed up?

Cleveleys_claret · Post by **Cleveleys_claret** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:08 pm

He was grassed up by Rangers kit sponsor allegedly

I suspect they probably can if they know FA rules are being broken. They're bookies, not priests.

Not only that, they're bookies at a time when there's a good deal of disquiet about some of their activities in general (fixed odds terminals, etc.) and they're probably more deeply involved in football than ever before. Not a good look for them to be hiding the fact that a high-profile footballer has been breaking betting rules for a decade.

I hear hia legal team would battle the case anyeay leading to a delayed decision

jurek · Post by **jurek** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:42 pm

I suspect we will have to get whatever points we need to stay up without Barton
as expect he'll get a lengthy ban. He might be back for the last 3 or 4 games.
Let's hope we 'll be safe by then.

What date is the hearing?.

Royboyclaret · Post by **Royboyclaret** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:53 pm

One thing I'm certain of is that it was no coincidence that this '10 year problem' surfaced within days of Barton signing for Burnley.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 8:26 pm

I'd heard the same rumours.

Like Royboy says the timing of the news is "very convenient" when leaving one bookie backed club for another

If this is true and like Robboy says it certainly was no coincidence that just a short time after it was announced he was getting himself fit at Burnley.
And Dyche came out to say he would help to get Joey back up to scratch and work on his fitness levels with the clubs Science team.
After that it was viral everywhere like it had never happened before.
You can bet your bottom dollar that we wont be playing any more friendly against the Teddy Bears
And i all so think that the people sat at the top table are hypocrites as I bet they all have a sneaky snaky bet. You can bet on that one hay Joey.

According to the Burnley Express his hearing is tomorrow.

Longside4evr · Post by **Longside4evr** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 9:58 am

I think it is more than likely tomorrow, has i think if it had been Monday it would have been like the media circus ball this morning and the lynch mob would be out in full fettle.

It didn't, it surfaced before we signed him.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 11:38 am

The Bookmaker reported him to the Scottish FA who in September.
Nothing to do with us.

Royboyclaret · Post by **Royboyclaret** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 11:40 am

"It didn't, it surfaced before we signed him."

That's incorrect, the only offence that Barton was charged with before he signed for Burnley was the one by the Scottish FA. The charge relating to the 1,260 transactions was days after he signed for us.

He was charged on the 23rd December and we announced the signing on the day of the City game (2nd January?).

After Quoonbeatz's post, you should know you owe Royboy an apology. You've been humbled. You people and your pseudo intellects. FHA.

Really? Source?

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:38 am

Re: disagreement on whether charge or signing came first. We did sign him on 2nd Jan which was AFTER the charge on 23rd December.

But, on 20th December, the club reported: "Joey Barton is set to re-sign for Burnley. The Clarets have agreed terms with the midfielder on a deal until the end of the season – subject to international clearance once the transfer window opens in January."

Burnley FC then backtracked on that one after the news of the betting charge came in.

Chris Boden tweeted it, still available to play in the meantime

So that useless Chris Boden who has been vilified as just another supporter who has zero contacts within BFC has broken the news?

Hmmmm.

Great news if true, big boost for the next few games at least (hopefully it can be postponed until the end of the season); I wonder if new evidence has come to light on other players/managers involved in football betting? Hmmmm

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:48 am

Don't think it is anything to do with new evidence - just a simple requirement to change the date. Now up to the FA to come up with a new date.

Special Prize to ""middle aged " for mentioning Trump in a thread about Joey Barton's FA gambling charge.

Or of course he has excellent Legal representation. With a bit of luck it might not get heard until the end of the season.

timshorts · Post by **timshorts** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 1:17 pm

He couldn't have been charged by the FA when still registered as a Rangers player. They don't have jurisdiction - the Scottish FA do.

Once he was registered as a player in England, then the English FA could charge him.
