This really is the most ridiculous load of bollocks I have ever read.

A lawyer has suggested it is as serious as spot fixing. COMPLETE RUBBISH.

The whole market was a publicity stunt by Sun Bet that had nothing to do with football at all.

Once they had decided to offer bets on whether the reserve keeper ate a pie or not the keeper had no chance to avoid trouble.

If he ate a pie he influenced the market....if he didn't eat a pie he influenced the market.

If he is at fault then he had no chance to avoid trouble.

The FA are now investigating well good luck to them.
If The keeper has a lawyer with an ounce of intelligence he will be receiving an apology.

The only way he might have been at fault would be if he had eaten it before he knew he had no chance of playing any part in the game. that would would just have been unprofessional.
