The ビデオ that has 誘発するd wild 憶測 around Sandro Tonali. And why Man 部隊d should think again about Dan Ashworth

  • Sandro Tonali has been 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d by the FA over 申し立てられた/疑わしい bets placed last year
  • The Newcastle 星/主役にする is already serving a 10-month 禁止(する) for 賭事ing in Italy
  • Why a 敗北・負かす against 兵器庫 will be curtains for Man City's 肩書を与える defence - Listen to the It's All Kicking Off podcast

It's ever so 平易な to be wise after the event, which is why there’s a clip 広まる on social マスコミ of an unwise yellow card Sandro Tonali 選ぶd up when the going was good.

We might consider that 開始-day game against Aston 郊外住宅 a collector’s item by now ? that was his first for Newcastle and there have only been 12. It was also his best by a street, with a 罰金 goal and 出資/貢献s to three others in a 5-1 勝利,勝つ.

He was brilliant, 配達するing the 肉親,親類d of 業績/成果 that can make £52million feel like a 取引, if only for a while. It wasn’t just how he slipped through lines and 設立する 穴を開けるs in small spaces, but it was his defending, too. His chasing. His squeezing. So the good bits and ugly bits.


But there was one strange bit and that lives at the heart of the clip, because in 停止 time, with the game comfortably won, Tonali was 調書をとる/予約するd in the 過程 of 存在 subbed off.

It’s a 混乱させるd scene ? the fourth 公式の/役人 手配中の,お尋ね者 him to hurry up and Elliot Anderson was ready to come on. Tonali? He stood still for a moment or two and then took a step に向かって the sidelines, before pivoting 支援する again in the direction of the 審判(をする), Andy Madley. Why so hesitant and agitated? Only he knows but it was やめる unusual at 5-1.

A video has surfaced online showing him being reluctant to be subbed off during that game

A ビデオ has surfaced online showing him 存在 気が進まない to be subbed off during that game

The clip catches the final 11 seconds of this before Madley had enough and pulled a yellow card for time-wasting. All a trifle 半端物, really, and さもなければ innocuous, except the innocuous can find oxygen in a 確かな 状況.?

And of course the Tonali 状況 is the 10-month 禁止(する) subsequently 課すd on him by Italian 当局 in October for placing an awful lot of bets on football during his time there. A 禁止(する) that was followed this week by 50 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s from the FA for betting on matches since he arrived at Newcastle in July.

We can call that 初期の 禁止(する) ‘the event’ and the problem is how other events, such as the one in that clip, can look to 部外者s in their 知恵 when so little is known in the Tonali 事例/患者.?

That clip has taken on a life of its own. So might a clip of him getting 調書をとる/予約するd against Manchester City six weeks later for kicking the ball away after 譲歩するing a foul. Is it daftness? Impetuosity? Or, does our unfettered imagination lead some to ask a question in a way that may or may not be wise: is anything else going on?

The point is we don’t know, and there is no suggestion here that a link 存在するs. No suggestion of him getting 調書をとる/予約するd deliberately and no 証拠 どれでも that Tonali’s betting reached into those places. 非,不,無.

It is symptomatic of social マスコミ that the worst 結論s are 存在 drawn. And yet this on him. By 賭事ing on football he has 賭事d on his 評判. He has given breathing room for folk to have a few 疑問s about what he’s made of ? the 郊外住宅 clip, which was captioned on Thursday to say, with no 実体, that he ‘purposely’ got that yellow card, had been watched 3.7million times in 21 hours liked by 24,000 accounts.

?The Italian has been 攻撃する,衝突する with fresh 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s by the FA for 申し立てられた/疑わしい bets made while at Newcastle

Newcastle say he has been admirably open to them after admitting his gambling addiction

Those social マスコミ 使用者s are 存在 wise after the event, or 完全な wrong, or darkly 部族の, but the 疑問 has been given licence to grow. That is Tonali’s cloud and Newcastle 部隊d must live under it.??

利益 of the 疑問? I’d rather wait until a little more (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) 落ちるs 負かす/撃墜する about what 肉親,親類d of bets he placed and when before deciding on that one.

What we do know is football has a 危険に hypocritical 関係 with the 賭事ing 産業 and that the 支配するs Tonali has broken 存在する, at their root, as a 保護(する)/緊急輸入制限 against 正直さ problems on the field. Because who wants to 疑問 what they see when we watch sport?

What 混乱させるs me in this particular saga is the strength of sympathy from Newcastle. I get it up to a point ? Tonali 収容する/認めるs he is an (麻薬)常用者 in service to a corrosive 病気 and Newcastle say he has been admirably open with them. They have a 義務 of care, even to the careless. They know the person in the middle of a 嵐/襲撃する.

自然に, they also know things they aren’t 現在/一般に 株ing, as is their 権利 and 責任/義務 for an 現在進行中の 過程.?

And we can deduce from Eddie Howe that he is more 知らせるd than most.?We can see from his 嘆願s for leniency on Friday ? ‘Let’s not throw the 調書をとる/予約する at him and punish him even その上の’ ? are likely based on knowledge that won’t come 支援する to bite his backside.

The 23-year-old chose to bet at AC Milan and he is (刑事)被告 of doing so at Newcastle

But let’s not 混乱させる one point here ? stupidity very definitely lives within this mystery. A 病気, yes. But stupidity, too. Tonali could have bet on cricket, horses, ゴルフ, ボクシング, lawn bowls. He could have bet on 在庫/株s or rain 減少(する)s running 負かす/撃墜する a 窓ガラス. He chose football and he chose it often. He chose it at AC Milan and Brescia and he is (刑事)被告 of choosing it at Newcastle, 同様に, にもかかわらず all the 警告s and precedents.

Precedents like that of his own team-mate, Kieran Trippier, who lost 10 weeks of his career to betting infractions, as one example. Tonali’s stupidity led him away from all of that and so I don’t only see a 犠牲者 of illness. I see a 犠牲者 and a 悪党/犯人, with Newcastle’s season and PSR 計算/見積りs the collateral 損失. They せねばならない be seething both at the player and かもしれない even those on the staff who 行方不明になるd any 手がかり(を与える)s.

Were they sold a 時限爆弾 by AC Milan? Did they know what was about to go off? It does make you wonder about their 明らかな 願望(する) to offload Tonali last summer ? a 決定/判定勝ち(する) that 明らかに left the player in 涙/ほころびs and feeling ‘lost’.

It also makes you think about Dan Ashworth and the Teflon 質s of directors of football in general. Howe is carrying the can for 業績/成果s this season, but what about the 予定 diligence of a man in Ashworth whose attention to 詳細(に述べる) is 先触れ(する)d as a 推論する/理由 for Manchester 部隊d’s 追跡 of him??

Tonali starred in his first game for Newcastle but has only made 11 appearances since

To see Newcastle’s struggles, 特に in midfield, is to trace the 問題/発行する to those who 調印するd off on the £52m without knowing the bets under the bed.

Maybe some 詳細(に述べる)s are too hard to 得る, even in this age where some 冒険的な teams 雇う 私的な 捜査官/調査官s to know all there is to know.?

But it does make you think 支援する to a 引用する in the summer from their 長,指導者 (n)役員/(a)執行力のある, Darren Eales: ‘We would struggle to have a 調印 that was a total 行方不明になる, because we just don’t have the 資源s yet from a 歳入 視野.’

That was でっちあげる,人を罪に陥れるd in the 状況 of 財政上の Fair Play and (機の)カム in the days before Tonali made himself look like he would be a みごたえのある 攻撃する,衝突する against Aston 郊外住宅. He really was 広大な/多数の/重要な that day.

If it isn’t 存在 a little too wise after the event, you might 示唆する that so much since then, 含むing Ashworth’s ability to walk on water and Tonali’s sbility to walk from a field, is shrouded in a bit more 疑問.
