As this is a live case, we will not be commenting further at this point. Sky Sports report http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11789/11180064/aberdeen-director-duncan-skinner-charged-by-sfa-for-alleged-betting-breach Aberdeen non-executive director Duncan Skinner has been issued with a notice of complaint over a betting breach. Skinner is alleged to have placed 589 bets on 1,465 games since the 2014-15 season with 81 of them involving Aberdeen. He placed 74 bets on Aberdeen to win, six on a draw and one on the Dons to lose. Sky sources understand that game he bet on Aberdeen to lose was against Celtic on February 1, 2017. There are no suggestions of any match-fixing allegation involved in the case and Aberdeen are conducting their own internal investigation. A club statement read: "The club is obviously aware of the citation and, along with Duncan, is co-operating fully with the SFA, in addition to conducting its own internal review. "As this is a live case, we will not be commenting further at this point." Skinner has until January 3 to respond to the notice complaint, with his judicial hearing scheduled for January 11. The possible sanctions are a fine between £1,000-£1,000,000 and/or suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Poor cunt will have lost enough betting on us to win 74 times So true. What an idiot though, especially after the whole Black affair a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Disgusted when I heard that he had backed the Dons to lose. In my view he should be nowhere near the club again for that. It sends out totally the wrong message if a director is doing that kind of thing.

RicoS321 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Died according to the AFC Twitter account. Didn't know much about him. Saw him at Burnley having a good day out that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
