Pie monster Wayne Shaw has been asked to leave Sutton United and has agreed. #PieGate please log in to view this image
Just when you think your day can't get any worse, you get Piers Morgan supporting you... Piers Morgan @piersmorgan I support you, Wayne Shaw. What has football come to when a loyal club servant's sacked for a fun pie stunt? Absurd.
Does his goalkeeping shirt sponsor say 'Massive Waste'? I know body waist is spelt differently before any prick pops up with some genuinely bright response.
He will be on a "celebrity " TV show this time next year. Don't think it will be Love Island..probably Big Brother.
Frankly I thought it did cheapen the whole thing, but at the end of the day the guy has got a bit of notoriety out of it, and probably make a few quid. Good luck to him. Pity, as he has probably done a lot of the club free gratis, so to make him leave is a bit shallow.
The Sun seem to be stoking the fire still, they've just announced that they've paid out a substantial five figure sum as a result of that bet.
All fun and fat frolics aside, it's quite right this is being looked into as it is 100% a betting scam. It's a huge (not intended...) shame for Sutton as this cheap stunt is detracting from what should have been one of the proudest night's in their history. I hope he's ****ing ashamed.
If the Sun didn't want the chap to eat a pie during the match, they would have been well advised not to offer odds on precisely that outcome. They don't like it up 'em.
