BRENTFORD HAVE LAUNCHED an investigation after a video of striker Ivan Toney appearing to say “f*** Brentford” was published on social media.
Toney is thought to be on holiday in Dubai during the Premier League’s winter break.
The 25-year-old has struck six goals in an impressive Premier League campaign so far.
But now the Bees are looking into a video posted on Twitter that could land the former Peterborough United player in hot water with his club.
“Brentford FC are aware of the video and are investigating,” said a club spokesperson.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank accepted an £8,000 fine on Friday, following his red card after the 2-1 Premier League loss to Wolves last weekend.
The Dane was dismissed after the final whistle by Peter Bankes after confronting the referee on the Brentford Community Stadium pitch.
Frank has now accepted the FA charge of improper behaviour towards the match official due to his overzealous remonstrations.
Brentford have now suffered six defeats in their last seven top-flight matches after a fine start to their maiden Premier League campaign.
“Brentford FC head coach Thomas Frank has accepted a Football Association fine,” read a club statement.
“Thomas was charged with a breach of FA Rule E3.1 following Brentford’s Premier League game against Wolverhampton Wanderers last Saturday, 22 January. Thomas admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty. He was given an £8,000 fine.
“The FA charge was that Thomas’ language and/or behaviour towards referee Peter Bankes after the final whistle was improper.
“Thomas accepted this charge, and the financial penalty. Brentford FC has no further comment to make on the matter.”
C’mon Leinster, let’s put this bogey team behind us and try for an all irish quarter final!
Poor delusional ospreys, they need to raise their game 5 levels just to avoid being killed in the collision areas, too many of them will be thinking of wealthy courtiers abroad to bother showing up against an impressive Leinster set up
Well… It hasn’t stopped them kickin our asses in previous seasons!
Not gona be easy(it never is against The Ospreys) but confident we will get the result required to get a last 8 spot. Both teams have good strong teams named so will be a good game as always when these two teams take the field.
get on leinster too win with bonus pts. ospreys have nothing too play for but leinster have all too play for. prob have 3 tries by h/t. and 3 more by full.
Phil are you ok?
never better just pissed that no matter what happens this weekend the frenchies will all get home Q/F’s. ye will get 5 pts and we will get 4 i think. and you n me agree that sean cronin is m..k but that strauss is some push on too ireland/leinster.
I never thought I’d live to see the day that Philip wrote a comment without abusing Leinster. Great to see, best of luck to all 4 provinces this weekend.
What is it four or five Lions in the pack. Hopefully Leinster will win but with Poite on the whistle anything could happen
