Brian did a brave thing by admitting to his gambling addiction, he did the honourable thing by reporting himself to the SFA over betting rules violations, his reward a 10 match ban.
Is this not a bit excessive??
I've heard folk on the phone ins saying Brian being open about this has given them the courage to get help for their addictions, I'm sure he'll also inspire players with the same problem to seek help. I think the SFA could have given him a token gesture 2 match ban not bloody 10! (5 suspended)
I'd see the point of serious bans if guys were trying to fix matches but theres no suggestion of that.
The guys been suffering with an illness so they boot him in the baws, doesn't seem right to me.
