I'm more in this camp... Tony Evans @TonyEvans92a Sutton game was a masterclass in how to turn what should have been a life-affirming football moment into a tawdry PR stunt. Lincoln beware. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...oalkeeper-wayne-shaws-stunt-overshadows-team/
SSN - Gambling Commission open investigation into Sutton United reserve goalkeeper Wayne Shaw eating pie during FA Cup tie v Arsenal last night. Gambling Commission say integrity in sport not a joke. Investigating to establish what happened. Also looking to see if any bets placed.
You'd think the miserable twats would have something more important to do than looking in to some fun that brightened things up for a fair few people.
And boy did it need brightening up, never seen such a dour atmosphere in an FA cup tie when a small club is playing a big name. The Lincoln fans at Burnley were all what the magic of the FA cup is.
The FA have now announced they're launching an investigation as well. He's obviously a bit dim, he's been on daytime TV this morning, saying that his mates bet on it and they all owe him a pint and a pie.
23 stone and a goalkeeper This is outstanding and it has made my day. I thought he was just some job dodger that had managed to sneak onto the edge of the pitch - ha, can't believe he may even have got a chance to play.
He waited until all 3 subs had been used before he ate the pie to make sure he wouldn't have to come on.
there is a precedent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Foulke_(footballer) he ended up with two fa cup winners' medals and a league title badge.
