Last year Premier League clubs in England collectively agreed to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of shirts.

The headline reads “record agreement” but this feels like another tone deaf decision from the man who has undersold Scottish football for over a decade.

Everyone loves Boring Milner , the football parody account that riffs on James Milner being a huge bore.

Today we reveal its alliance with Fanwave Digital, which runs Andy’s Football Tips, a 'tipster' that funnels punters to Paddy Power in exchange for a fee.

Somewhat tone deaf of the Scottish Football authorities.

William Hill - A gambling sponsor returns to be flashed a multitude of times to adults and children.

Scotland had no gambling sponsorship of any competition for last 5+ years.

Trains, tubes, & buses are not casinos.

Children going to school, & anyone getting from A to B, should not be bombarded by harmful gambling ads.

New.

Isle of Man has been a safe haven for betting companies, many of them partners of Premier League clubs. Last week police raided two companies and this unprecedented action has sent shockwaves throughout the gambling industry.

This is a brilliant show that does a great job of destigmatising gambling addiction — the more people that can see it the better! gofund.me/6f7b1de9

Who are behind obscure betting brand Betano⁉️

Hint: the same people involved in the brand Aston Villa cut ties with in 2023 after they were sanctioned by Ukraine for operating in Russia❗️

A troubling 🧵

In a world where many football clubs encourage their fans in to gambling, it's very encouraging to see Bristol Rovers encouraging fans to access help 👏👏

Fantastic to see Sheffield City Council taking a lead on restricting adverts for junk food and gambling. Another win for children's health! Definitely something Bite Back Youth Board in Sheffield will be celebrating! Great work greg fell FFPH Kate Josephs

'To give people 10 month bans for an addiction that is ravaging football, with sponsorships all over the shirts... They needed help and I don't think 'help' is giving them 10-month bans.'

Could anybody make use of James’ The Big Step hoodie? It seems a shame for it to just sit in storage, only worn once. Size XL. Happy to cover postage to send out. Lemme know 😁
