The recent suspension of Premier League referee Daggett in connection with the "insulting the gaffer" and drug scandals has added a new dimension to the investigation. It is rumored that five years ago, he was discussing with a friend the possibility of a yellow card for player Arioski before a game against West Bromwich Albion at Leeds United. As fate would have it, Arioski was shown a yellow card for a rough shove during the match. After the match, one of them teased, "I hope you have to buy", the words, the English FA smelled, said it will launch an investigation.
On the night, Ariosky was shown an 18-minute yellow card for malicious shoveling. The controversy continued despite experts believing the yellow card ruling was justified. The following day, Dagut took to social media with the message, "I hope you have a buy," but his friend pointed out that he had placed the bet himself, while another friend laughed and said, "You should split the bet equally (Gut)."
After the incident came to light, Daggett issued a statement denying the accusation of "making waves", saying that all the conversations were only jokes between friends, and there was no monetary benefit. The FA said that the seriousness of the incident could not be ignored and that an urgent investigation would be carried out immediately.
