FA urged to reconsider deal with betting firm Josie Clarke, The Belfast Telegraph · January 8, 2020 at 7:11 pm Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan has said she hopes the Football Association will “reconsider” after it allowed a betting company to broadcast FA Cup matches. It comes more than two years after the governing body said it would end partnerships with gambling firms. Bet365, which allows football fans to watch play if they place a bet via their app, has been showing matches since the start of last season. The partnership drew criticism from viewers and campaigners over the weekend when all matches were delayed by a minute to promote the Duke of Cambridge’s mental health charity.
