FA set to conduct investigations over betting allegations

In the aftermath of Arsenal's 3-0 win over Oxford City on Monday evening, the FA is rumored to be reviewing evidence they received after the match. It reportedly focuses on the yellow card handed to Oxford player Ciaron Brown in the 59th minute. A dossier of evidence regarding match-fixing was reportedly compiled by the FA, including complaints that a defender would receive a yellow card ahead of kick off, which allegedly cost one betting site over £1,600 ($1,945). Around £200 is believed to have been staked on the Oxford player being cautioned at odds of 8 in one message.

In the aftermath of Arsenal's 3-0 win over Oxford City on Monday evening, the FA is rumored to be reviewing evidence they received after the match. It reportedly focuses on the yellow card handed to Oxford player Ciaron Brown in the 59th minute. A dossier of evidence regarding match-fixing was reportedly compiled by the FA, including complaints that a defender would receive a yellow card ahead of kick off, which allegedly cost one betting site over £1,600 ($1,945). Around £200 is believed to have been staked on the Oxford player being cautioned at odds of 8 in one message.

These are quite serious allegations, and given that Ivan Toney has been involved in a betting scandal of his own, I think it is time the FA implement strict sanctions to ensure sanity in the football domain
