offix Posted 11 October, 2008 Share Posted 11 October, 2008 From the BBC: The Football Association is to examine alleged match-fixing allegations involving a Championship match sent to them by the Sunday Telegraph newspaper. Bookmakers reportedly detected a "massive movement" in bets in Asia in an unspecified Championship match at around half-time. Any ideas who/what/when?

Weston Super Saint Posted 11 October, 2008 Share Posted 11 October, 2008 From the BBC: The Football Association is to examine alleged match-fixing allegations involving a Championship match sent to them by the Sunday Telegraph newspaper. Bookmakers reportedly detected a "massive movement" in bets in Asia in an unspecified Championship match at around half-time. Any ideas who/what/when? I doubt it was us. Anyone with any sense would have bet us to lose long before kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrollman no2 Posted 11 October, 2008 Share Posted 11 October, 2008 Ah now it all makes sense. Lowe strips the team down to the bare bones,then brings in a Dutch bloke whos never had any experience of Championship football. Then Rupert goes to the nearest bookies and puts a wad on us to lose. He must be laughing all the way to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 11 October, 2008 Share Posted 11 October, 2008 Maybe it was Reading v Watford game, some guy bet that there would be a goal scored that went nowhere near the goal line, and he bribed the linesman to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 It could be Saints, these are all the comebacks after HT Possibilities are: Southampton 1-2(HT 1-0) Birmingham Perry 43 O'Connor 49 Phillips 77 ---------- Watford 2-1(HT 0-1) Ipswich Counago 2 Eustace 59 O'Toole 87 ---------- Preston 2-1(HT 0-1) Charlton Gray 19 Mellor 58 Nicholson 66 ---------- Charlton 1-3(HT 1-0) Wolverhampton Bailey 3 Ebanks-Blake (pen) 61 Vokes 81 Vokes 87 ---------- Burnley 3-2(HT 1-2) Watford Hoskins 6 Alexander (pen) 25 Hoskins 45+ Paterson 46 Elliott 69 --------- but the most likely to me is, Donny 1-0 up and against 10 men. Loads of money would be made for a Barnsley win in those circumstances. Barnsley 4-1(HT 0-1) Doncaster Stock (pen) 11 Foster 54 Campbell-Ryce 60 Macken 73 Hume 87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 Maybe it was Reading v Watford game, some guy bet that there would be a goal scored that went nowhere near the goal line, and he bribed the linesman to do it?

DT Posted 16 October, 2008 Share Posted 16 October, 2008 It was Norwich v Derby apparently. MP Norman Lamb has tabled a question, which directly refers to Norwich City's home league match against Derby County on October 4th, which Derby won 2-1. It reads: �To ask the secretary of state for culture, media and sport what discussions he has had with the Football Association on allegations of match-fixing and unusual betting activity involving the Norwich City vs Derby County Football League Championship match on Saturday, 4 October.� This was the match that was 1-1 until Marshall the Norwich goalie ran into his own defender, with 6 minutes to go, leaving an open goal for the Derby striker to score in.

Viking Warrior Posted 16 October, 2008 Share Posted 16 October, 2008 cant be saints. unless the betting is to with us scoring in the first half indeed if at all.

Yep well if there was a sudden flash of betting in Asia and a bit of a silly incident straight after, it looks a bit dodgy. Perhaps those Asians have really built a machine like the one in Paycheck. Seems to be a commonly recurring theme in films just now,Paycheck looking forward,Déjà Vu looking back.Still, prefer going thirty years forward in time in a DeLorean and bringing back a sports almanac myself.
