Big blow for Betway in Europe

|

betway-blackIrons sponsors Betway are being forced to swallow a bitter pill tonight.

Their logo is missing from the shirt for tonight’s match in Slovenia despite the match getting hgh profile treatement by BT Sports HD.

It would have been a real bonus for the company but sadly from their point of view Uefa rules have stopped their brand from being shown.

But sadly the Slovenian govenment bans all brand/logo advertising and thus it was missing.’

    Based on tonights performance they are probably glad they weren’t associated with us, it was an embarrasment, it was worse than watching a sunday league match. I hope Payet has been leaving the KFC alone because we need him next week and we need to stop playing Antonio as a right back, from his loft position in the stands Bilic must have seen he was between 20 and 40 yards out of position for most of the game and when he eventually got back his defending was poor. Byram is a defender he played as well as a right footed player can at left back and every bit of trouble caused by the opponents as it was towards all of the season when Antonio played right back was cause through the channel between right back and right centre back any idiot can see it and if Slaven refuses to he might find himself the first manager sacked this season because we sure as well won’t win many if any games with Antonio as a right back. Apologies for the rant but I am furious with the lack of professionalism shown by most of our so called best players.

    One thought presuming we manage to go through next week does this mean we will get another sponsor just for Europe ? If not maybe they can put the Bobby Moore charity or Dylan Tombides charity logo on the shirts for the European games ?

      Great idea, I’d be very happy to see that. Bit confused by the article, though. Was it the Slovenian government or UEFA that stopped the logo, or both but for different reasons?
