City games allegedly fixed

[EricBrooksGhost]

Those two Spurs games were clear as hell, I said to my missus (only her 3rd game) before the Sterling handball that the **** would give a dodgy penalty and 10-15 minutes later surprise surprise. One that sticks in my mind was a 3-1 home win against Wolves a good few years back, that refereeing performance I'll still remember till the day I die and confirmed absolutely everything to me in terms of corruption. The Chelsea one last season as well with the none sending off of Luis, then Fernandinho and Aguero walking.

Wolves game was reffed by Atwell IIRC. Always remember him blowing for a Wolves throw before the ball went out then suddenly back tracking when it didn't. Utter bent ****.

They guy who runs it has done work for us in the past & probably played a large part in the 2012 title win by enabling us to stop another club's attempt to fix the competition.

Folk say that was fixed in our favour.

I'd be very interested to read that article if possible PB?? Is it available anywhere to view please?
Didn't he have his own business that was in debt by hundreds of thousands of pounds? Think hes a plumber by trade and got into trouble and didn't a person or company he owed money to emai a newspaper who then printed it and then he was suspended for a while? Something like that?

I'll dig it out, edit it and see if Ric will put it up on the site.

And Mike Riley came rushing up to Manchester to assure us everything was above board!

yhp, I think they have a better wrap on it these days, certainly go to greater lengths.

We do, actually. As football datasets have grown, and analytic tools evolved, it has become much easier to use statistical analysis techniques to identify irregularities.

It really is only a matter of time before a club in one of the leagues takes action against an official (or group of officials) using statistical analysis as the basis for a more thorough evidential inquiry. We have a team at my firm which is solely tasked with using these methods to suss out financial fraud. And they are getting better at it every year.

Is that the same Mark Clatternburg whose career has recently taken a sharp and unexpected shift in direction?

Shit a brick - there can't be two of them, surely?
