The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

It’s been the news that we, as Bees fans, had feared for month now: the FA have finally reached a verdict on the betting allegations. Ivan Toney has been suspended from all football-related activity for eight months for breaching Football Association betting rules.

The suspension will start with immediate effect, and although he missed the weekend game with West Ham with a hamstring injury, he will certainly miss Brentford’s final two games of the season – at Tottenham on Saturday and at home to Manchester City on the final day.

The ban, if not reduced as part of any appeal, will last until January 16, 2024. Toney has also been fined £50,000 after he admitted to the alleged breaches. He was charged with 262 breaches of FA rule E8 between February 25, 2017, and January 23, 2021. The FA subsequently withdrew 30 of these breaches and he admitted to the remaining 232.

Toney will not be allowed to train with his Brentford team-mates until September 17.

Brentford head to Liverpool this Saturday a team that can legitimately call themselves former European Champions – unlike Sam Allardyce’s latest relegation project – the Bees hoping to continue the winning form that has harvested six points from the last two matches. 

Liverpool are in fine form however, having won five on the spin, including two home victories this week so far – but we fear nobody right now and Thomas Frank’s men will be looking to complete the double over Klopp and company.

Billy The Bee Grant and Dave Laney Lane look forward to the Coronation weekend in Merseyside as well as back to a late, but fully deserved win over Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest last weekend.
