If they aren`t betting on their games it`s not really a huge scandal. Ivan Toney was done for doing the same thing and I assume Newcastle will be without their talismanic Italian for th best part of a season once his punishment gets dished out.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Hopefully, he`s banned before the BVB game.

Italian football in corruption shock!
You`re getting a bit ahead of yourself, EET. There is no suggestion of corruption. Footballers in Italy are not permitted to bet on anything. Not even a game in the Scottish Highland League.
Tonali and Zaniolo have admitted only to betting online at poker and blackjack. The 3rd player under investigation, Fagioli of Juventus, did bet on football matches while at Roma, but never on games involving his own team. He`s allegedly run up debts of hundreds of thousands of euros. Obviously addicted and perhaps more deserving of compassion than condemnation.
The paparazzi journalist who spilt the beans is a diehard Inter fan. He`s suggesting Juve should be relegated as a result! I`m no Juve fan but that`s nonsense. A club cannot be held responsible for the actions of one of its players in his own time.
Not your average Sunday League player.

This should be seen as a positive for the Italian FA imo. They’ve obviously made these rules because of what has happened in the past. Rather than seeing it as “same old Italy” it should be seen as the Italian FA trying to show that they won’t leave themselves open to any type of corruption. Fair play.

This. I couldn`t have put it any better. Thanks, allparone.

Tongue firmly in cheek of course. I love a country that has Tennants Super in every kiosk even if its minging.
I didn’t know about it’s popularity until I went to Ischia a few years ago. I first noticed the blue Tennents Super parasols outside a bar there. I wondered how they’d managed to end up in a place like that :-). It wasn’t until I seen the bottles in shops, bars and menus that I realised it was actually a popular drink in Italy.
