Selected by Southgate in the next England squad for the matches against Italy and Ukraine.

Bet he had a tenner on that!

It’s a shame that he may have got involved in betting. He is an exceptional striker, and should be playing for a bigger club.
His penalty technique reminds me of Brian Stock, it takes immense nerves

Don't understand why he has been picked ,He has admitted he has done wrong and faces a lengthy ban

Can’t understand quite a few selections that Southgate has made to be fair.

He’s making the same mistake that previous managers have made, selecting by name and reputation rather than current form.

Agree to an extent but form is so transitory that if you selected purely on form you'd be selecting a totally different squad each time. That said there are some players in this squad - Maguire, Mount & Phillips - who probably shouldn't be given their recent game time, although the same could have been said about Maguire at the World Cup and he still played well there.

i just checked his age and how many loans he has had
Scunthorpe X2 and scored 1 in 15 at Barnsley when he was throwing himself on the ground including doing that against us I recall.

Ivan Benjamin Elijah Toney

Ivan Benjamin Elijah Toney (born 16 March 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Brentford.

Did the press pick up on this ? dunno .

It's obviously so he can see light at the end of the tunnel by calling him up - Southgate showed his ignorance despite having a very intelligent father by using the word "trial" 

no if's no buts he deserves a long non foootball  sentence just like Copps would if he had bet on football ....  Joey Barton got his career finished due to it --

Barry Fry left Peterborough for it.
They all have to be treated the same - fullstop - despite their lack of intellegence

If his surname was say Alan Smith or David Jones  the likeliness of his account being spotted would be remote. It is a bookmakers duty to report any footballer betting on football no matter how low they are down the football pyramid


just realised his initials are  I.  B.E.T.

enough said

couldn't agree more SM. Southgate is so cautious that it pervades everything he does. So I suppose its only to be expected that he wasn't prepared to gamble on new faces and prefers to stick with the same old failures
