CLARETS boss Sean Dyche said he is more concerned about the introduction of retrospective bans for diving and video technology than football's relationship with gambling companies.

Joey Barton had raised the issue of the game's reliance on betting firms for sponsorships as well as the numbers of adverts for gambling during live TV matches after he was hit with an 18-month ban by the Football Association for betting offences.

Burnley carry the logo of Dafabet on their shirts but Dyche said that wasn't an issue for him, and he was more concerned with the FA taking action 'for the good of the game'.

He has long been an advocate of video technology to help referees and bans for diving and would like to see on the FA's agenda now.

Asked if the club had had any communication from Dafabet, Dyche said: "Not that I know of, they wouldn’t communicate it with me anyway, I get on with the football.

"The first story is simple, Joey was gambling, he admitted it, he got punished.

"That opens a million other thoughts. My biggest one is for the good of the game. I can’t wait for the FA to move on to retrospective banning and video technology.

"That’s important to me as whether betting companies should be giving money to football.

"The betting companies and the powers that be can sort that out, on the pitch I want sorting out."

Ten Premier League clubs carry shirt sponsorships for gambling-related firms, but Dyche doesn't see a direct link between that and people then choosing to bet on football.

"If there under a rough rules system and from governing guidelines, as long as you’re within that then the whole thing has to change, it’s not for one club to do it," he said.

"Someone somewhere might make a decision, but I don’t think they will. Advertising gambling and choosing to gamble are two radically different things.

"You have a choice, and as an adult you’re informed enough within football that you know the rules, and Joey knew the rules.

"Although it enhances the educational ideas and reminding people, I don’t think we should see it as this problem in football.

"There isn’t a problem in football in my experience but I don’t look into everyone’s personal life for gambling."
