coldonmac Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Wonder if the SFA investigated the fact it was the same referee this year for the game against Hearts who sent off Ian Black who was wearing the Number 8 jersey same as Jennings? Co-incidence .... I think not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmour Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Motherwell´s Jennings arrested in betting investigation 6 October 2011 Motherwell midfielder Steven Jennings has been arrested at his home in Merseyside following a probe into alleged betting irregularities. Motherwell midfielder Steven Jennings has been arrested at his home in Merseyside following a probe into alleged betting irregularities. Jennings was sent off for dissent in a Scottish Premier League match against Hearts last season, an event which provoked probes into unusual betting activity prior to the fixture. Stewart Regan, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association, released the following statement: "The Scottish FA has received notification from the Gambling Commission that the Motherwell FC player, Steve Jennings, was arrested at his home today by Merseyside Police. This follows extensive enquiries in relation to alleged betting irregularities at a Scottish Premier League match between Motherwell and Hearts on December 14, 2010." "While the investigation involves several other individuals out with Scotland, it is important to stress that the evidence gathered throughout this thorough period of investigation has involved only one Scottish match." "Motherwell FC are aware of the situation and will issue a response in due course. The Scottish FA will make no further comment at this stage." The Association of British Bookmakers, along with the SFA and SPL, announced that they would look into the alleged betting irregularities shortly after the match last December. Reports at the time suggested that a new account had been opened in Liverpool prior to the match which had placed 500 pounds on a red card, with several other accounts making similar bets. Couldnt have been done by people seeing ref was having a mare and a bit more than £50. Now rooneys dad hardly as if he needs the money, very murky indeed.

Orinoco Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Given goodwillie, o'connor and others have been allowed to continue to play with court appearances pending, jennings will surely be allowed to play as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellfan1984 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Given goodwillie, o'connor and others have been allowed to continue to play with court appearances pending, jennings will surely be allowed to play as well. In the "football world" they are totally different things though. Jennings is under investigation for a crime that brings the game into question, and could lead to match fixing charges. If Motherwell have any thoughts of him being guilty then no, he shouldn't play. He should be suspended - if possible without pay - but if Motherwell believe him then I see why nothe shouldn't be allowed to play. Of course, there are bodies within Football that can take it out of our hands, if the Crown Office actually do press charges - guilty or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviereidml1 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 All this because the bookies loose a bit of cash on a random in-game bet. Its fine taking your cash not so keen paying out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Interesting to see the official website has removed the "Well Society " advert with Jenno and Las from when you enter the site ..now a Xmas thingy .... I'm sure that's just a rotating advert. It bounces between various different club adverts depending upon what's on the go - 'Well Society, Christmas, Hospitality etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmen Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 It will be interesting to see what the SPL do now, last year they asked Motherwell to suspend him (imagine if we did!!!) he is being persecuted. imagine a scouser with a job!!!!

Last time I checked he wasn't charged, only been arrested. If he is charged then the SFA won't need to ask us to suspend him. I'm sure they could do it themselves (or get UEFA/FIFA to do it).

Now rooneys dad hardly as if he needs the money, very murky indeed. Which is the correct figure though? That report says prior to the match and £500 but it also says Jennings was arrested in Merseyside. Everywhere else reports Glasgow. Not saying the figures etc. aren't correct but given they can't actually agree where he was picked up I'd take any "reports" with a pinch of salt.

fat_tony Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 He deserves to be arrested for firing his man jam up some manky old scouser, which led to the birth of that potato-faced vacuous granny shagging apologist who has all the charisma of a bread van.

Martin Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I don't see how someone like Jennings could be motivated to pull a stunt like that, put his career on the line for what would surely just be a few grand ?

As much as he'd make in a couple of weeks You could argue he's the perfect target? Plays in a league that gets a lot of coverage, and has live tv games, but in football terms is not a high earner. A premiership or old firm player would have too little gain, and too much to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_mfc Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 He has been arrested along with another eight people and it's in relation to the Motherwell game alone. Quite perplexed as to how some people could think other games are involved when commenting on a statement that says only the M'well Hearts game was involved. As far as I'm aware he was arrested in a dawn raid, and was taken down to Liverpool first thing for questioning. I'll be surprised if the club, quite understandably, say nothing at the moment and the club's lawyers will no doubt want to have a word with Jenno and his representatives before a decision is reached. He is innocent until proven guilty, howeve it will be interesting to see what happens as the alleged offence took place while he was carrying out his job, which makes it incomparable to anything else we've really seen before.

scott_mfc Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Would also like to warn everyone that proceedings become active in a case from someone's arrest, so anyone commenting on this will be at risk of prosecution if anything is said out of turn. Just be careful guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite perplexed as to how some people could think other games are involved when commenting on a statement that says only the M'well Hearts game was involved. The statement doesn't say it's only the Hearts game involved. It says "...it is important to stress that the evidence gathered throughout this thorough period of investigation has involved only one Scottish match." That doesn't exclude the possibility of one or more English matches. It was just the SFA talking head pointing out that, from a Scottish perspective, there is only one related game.

Psycho1991 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Will the club face any sanctions because of this? I say there is no smoke without fire. Get him to fuck I say. He has disgraced the club I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
