Eh? The journos travelled to Derry for interviews to be used in the run up to the Cup Final. He was asked a question about this, and he answered it.

Aye, but he was trying to get his name in the paper....:rolleyes:

Lads, could anyone give me a short summary about this case? Because I haven't read anything about the punishment for Dempesy after his suspension. So is he now rehabilitated or have he got a ban or a money fine?

St Patrick's Athletic midfielder Gary Dempsey has been fined two weeks' wages following his admission that he placed a bet against his side last month.

Dempsey admitted to wagering €20 on Galway United to overcome the Inchicore side as part of a double.

The former Dunfemeline Athletic midfielder was suspended by Pats, pending an internal investigation, and has now been fined wages amounting to approximately €5,000.

They are apparantly trying to find the exact pen that he used, but given that the shop has 2000 pens it is proving troublesome.

Is it a joke or not? If it's true than I haven't words for it - absolutely crazy! :eek:
However, why they need to know which pen Dempsey had used?! I thought he have already admitted what he did.

Other question: I've read about a few other LOI playes who are involved in illegal betting, perhaps. There are any news for it or is this accusation silted up yet?

He was joking about the pen.

No other players have been named in the media except Dempsey.

Oh ok, I wasn't sure if the story with the pen is serious or not. Nothing is impossible. :D

Is this the end of it? Are they trying to tell Dempsey was the only case?

:confused:
Why the confusion? Investigations by Pats. Investigations by FAI. One man guilty (the only man mentioned by Pete Mahon in original allegations).

They're not "trying" to say anything. They're saying it.

Dempsey receives ban boost


The suspension imposed by St Patrick’s Athletic midfielder Gary Dempsey for gambling against his own side last season has been reduced on appeal. Dempsey was initially served a five-match ban resulting from a €20 wager he placed against Pats – as part of a double with an English club – in October.

However, the Waterford man has succeeded in getting the suspension cut to just two matches, which come into effect from the start of the League of Ireland season in March.

Yep, 100%. Fairly proud of it too

He previously played for Waterford in this league

Did he??? Ya don't say!!!
:p

Dempsey had a great season for us the year he was here. Possibly the most talented footballer we've had at the RSC in fact.
Was talking to a local photographer at the Youths-Blues U-20 match recently and it turned out he's Gary's uncle!

Obviously the Waterford comment was the great unwashed stann, trying to point out where 11-a-side may have got the impression he's from waterford.


Although all you south coasters look the sme to me

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was just wondering what the rules are re: betting? I thought/presumed players were banend from betting on themselves or their own team completely, so I'm fairly surprised to see at least one player on have on their Facebook status that they had made money on themselves scoring in a particular game?

Not that it was a huge amount that he's bragging about winning, or that there was any hint of even match-fixing or anything nefarious going on, just seems a little stupid to post to your bloody facebook about it...then again maybe its not illegal/forbidden ??
