The Straight Shootin' View Episode 152 - Gambling shirt bans & Ivan Toney risking his future

Is Ivan Toney's 8 month ban for 232 breaches of gambling rules harsh? Should the Premier League have totally banned gambling adverts, as opposed to just banning front of shirt sponsorship? On this episode of The Straight Shootin' View, our co-host SSLJA discusses the recent news that the Premier League and its clubs agreed to a ban on front of shirt sponsorship by gambling companies from the start of the 2026/27 season, and looks at whether or not the ban should have gone a lot further and included advertising and hoardings. SSLJA also discusses Ivan Toney being banned for 8 months for 232 breaches of Premier League gambling rules, looks at some potential peculiarities, as well as asking if the ban is harsh and could potentially hurt Brentford's Toney, as opposed to helping him with a potential gambling addiction and if the PFA could step in.
