>Before the match, odds of 8/1 were given for goalkeeper to eat a pie during the match
so how much did he make?

The S*n for paying him to eat a pie on live TV

>used to play with Alan Shearer when he was 14 or 15
>is now an obese reserve keeper who sleeps at his shitty club's stadium 3 nights a week

Damn

Living a life of luxury compared to most Geordies tbqh

>>74314439
Is that not illegal? They obviously set it up so he was guaranteed to eat the pie and the bet would come through. It was fixed, what if you bet on "no pie"? You just got scammed and lost your money, i'd be pissed as hell for the sham bet

>>74314460
why three nights? where does he sleep the remaining four?

>>74314497
>where does he sleep the remaining four?
He doesn't sleep more than those three nights m8, his metabolism doesn't allows it

>>74314497

Lol idk, it was in this article http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/he-burger-van-alan-shearer-9857697

>One went on to become the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer, and the other sleeps at Sutton United's Gander Green Lane ground two or three nights a week.

>>74314491
Sun Bets didn't have any control over what the BBC filmed. The fat fuck was probably told to eat a pie during the match but they probably didn't pay any of the camera crew.

>>74314491
It's only an issue if he or someone closely related to him bet on it knowing he was going to eat the pie, I think. If he knew of the bet and thought "oh go on then, it'll be a laugh" without knowing anyone had bet on it or without telling anyone to bet on it knowing he would do it I don't think that's against the rules

>>74314491
It's currently being investigated

/ourpie/

Wenger was in the wrong for not having a mash n peas together with him

Anyone got a .webm of the slow motion pie eating replay?

>>74318230
or .gif, I'm not fussy

I want piecam to be a thing on MotD now

>>74314491
Maybe he always eats a pie after all the subs are on. He knows he won't be playing, so why not eat a pie if you're a fat bastard?

>>74318265
How did he even end up as their reserve keeper? Like even for a non league team, that must be some low as fuck standards.

>>74318278
You can't score if the keeper's so fat that he covers the entire goal

>>74318278
He's the goalkeeping coach as well. Presumably he used to be a good keeper, and is still decent enough for the rare occasion he actually comes on.

>>74314325
>be fat bastard
>eat pie
>become national hero
Please explain

The pie.

He said he was hungry. That's what we all look like hungry.

Apparently Its come out it was a pasty, so all bets off

>You'll never eat a pasty/pie from the subs bench watching your team play arse anal

>british athletes

>>74318442
Look at this fucking legend.

>>74318596
Yer, but aren't all NFL players encouraged to eat fast food to bulk?

when i fantasize about myself being a football manaer, i always wear sunglasses.
is that allowed? i can't see why grabbing a snack wouldn't be allowed.

>>74318745

Would you advertise a bet with your sponsor involving you donning sunglasses at a certain point in the match?

>>74318745
He's not in trouble just for eating the pie. What he's in trouble for is their sponsors Sky Bet had a bet on prior to the match that had 8-1 odds that he'd eat a pie during the match, so he may have broken gambling regulations, depending on the remaining context of him eating that pie.

>>74318768
>>74318788
I didn't realise that.
Why would they even make such a market available? He's always gonna be in trouble if the did it.
How bizarre

As much as I liked it, he was. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad if Sutton weren't directly sponsored by Sun (not Sky) Bets.

>>74318803
>Why would they even make such a market available?

>Sun bets sponsoring the match
>Sun is playing up the non-league minnow element
>Posts a jokey bet saying the (now semi-famous) reserve goalie eats a pie during the match
>Goalie sees this, thinks it would be funny to eat a pie when all three subs are on and they're 2-0 down
>???
>piegate

wasn't it strange that they actually bothered filming it? a player eating something near the end of the match, after all subs are used. i don't see why that's a thing, but there was a bet...

>>74318610
1. No. They aren't.
2. Leave Murica out of this. This is between you Euros.

>>74318837
Not really, they always have several cameras on the dugouts and if you watch it, he steps quite far out and clearly wants to make himself seen.

>>74318858
>he steps quite far out and clearly wants to make himself seen.
hm i wonder why

>>74318837
Boston redsox pitchers were caught drinking beer on camera

>>74318864
Yeah exactly, which is why I don't that that much sympathy for him really.

>>74318837

>mfw all this attention is actually what the Sun wanted

>>74318885
fuck the S*n la

>>74318837
Not really. The dugouts are filmed for the whole match, more or less, so it was bound to be caught by the cameramen. The director's decision to include it in the TV showing of it is less common, but being as he's a fat bastard and that's part of his shtick it's not too surprising they showed it for the bants.

>>74318453
sorry but northerners eating pies was a meme before your country was even born.

With a physique like that he'd be a top tier handegg player.

The entire occassion was a cynical PR stunt, it's quite disgusting really, and sutton united were happy to sell out to it all

Is this the natural conclusion to the MAGIC OF THE FA CUP!! meme? The entire thing being totally false and sold out to the sun betting companies?

>All these salty scousers

>>74319515
its the natural conclusion to everything in the modern patriarchal capitalistic hegemony

>>74319528
>lol it was just bantz XDDD
>Look at this LAD bible post on it lad! haha
>A fat English bloke eating a pie HAHA! Make sure to open your betting account and deposit £10 for a free bet!

The entire thing was false and cynically exploiting the FA cup. People say the FA cup is dead because big teams play some squad players, nah shit like this damages it more

>>74319554
>SEETHING scousers

He was forced to resign lads, press F to pay respects
