Good job it was a well kept secret and it took everyone by surprise .

Good job it wasn't the keeper , he'd come off in the first minute .
I expect every member of Fagin's Gang ( also known as the Terry family ) had piled on the bet.
Well makes a change from shop lifting ( allegedly ).
Hope the sacked pasty munching keeper had a bet on this.
baloo thats not a very nice thing to say
So why are some paying out? I don't bet so I've no idea how this would work, surely the bookies would have exact rules for doing this and the punter would have a method of checking official match stats to make sure they weren't being ripped off. I assume a player is only subbed when his replacement comes on but match reports have Cahill as coming on in the 26th minute which would have involved some time travel if Sunderland didn't kick the ball out till the 27th, when the clock reached 26:00.
Seems like they have paid up now after having a load of abuse and bad publicity thrown their way.
I don't see why the bookies should pay out if he didn't go off till the 28th minute. If they're stupid enough to pay out to people who think the 26th minute starts at 26:00 then they must have more money than sense. The whole thing was a nonsense, I think John Terry should be made to pay out on all bets and then sent to jail for this but I accept that's an unlikely outcome.
