Corruption in English football?

Been caught cheating to benefit the rags doesn't count.
I do think one day it will all come out and they will be stripped of all the stuff they won

Never going to happen
When retired refs came out and said Ferguson used to get their personal numbers and call them directly it was English football’s chance at a Calcippoli investigation
They covered it up

Iirc last goal Grobelaar or Segers conceded before the News of the World expose was scored by Peter Beagrie and all the senior City pros, Curle, Quinn etc were telling him to put his bonus in the players’ kitty because it ‘didn’t count’

Don’t know if it’s the same game but I was sat in The North Stand in that 3-3 game V Southampton, when he was wearing a mask. Can’t remember who scored or what it made the score but a shot came in that he could have just picked up and he did some ridiculous dive completely over the ball and let it pass under him into the net. I don’t think there had been any suggestions made public at that stage but I said to my mate there and then that .. He’s let that fucker in on purpose.

The guy said, “I think Lloris is open to corruption” Literally speaking everyone in the world is open to corruption. But he suggests he has a reason why he thinks Lloris in particular is throwing them in. I just wondered why he thought that.

Of course. EVERYONE has their price, whether it be financial, reputational or threat of harm to oneself or family; literally hundreds of ways an individual can be 'bought'.

The goalkeeper in question has made more than one than one basic error under little or no pressure which has ended up with the ball in the net. I'm not saying for one moment these are indisputable examples of corruption, but surely you can see how it could appear suspicious?

Same when Halsey came out and said he'd been asked by someone at the PGMOL to alter his match report.

Did you read my post? They're obviously 100% corrupt and anti-City, LOL. Every single decision against CIty is corrupt!!!

Well maybe except that probabilities factor in - that mistakes are made - and that City gets beneficial mistaken calls sometimes and sometimes gets adverse mistaken calls - in roughly equal proportion just as every other side... SIKE!!! No way - FA is corrupt and ANTI-CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's corrupt, but if anyone thinks the decisions in our favour and the ones against are in equal proportion they've been watching a different sport to me over the past decade.

I think that was the one, a mad 3-3 draw
 
In the interest of impartiality and full disclosure, I think that goal v Villa when Rodri came back from an offside position to tackle Mings was also very dodgy. Letter of the laws yes, spirit of the laws no.
Think it might have been Bernardo who eventually scored?
That said, hypocritical Bert that I am, I fully defended it at the time
