Football is Fixed-City

Not really sure how a professional referee could genuinely mistake that as a second yellow card.

Look, he stuck his hand up in the air, automatic yellow card for the player closest to him. We need to coach our boys better, whenever an opposition player is within 5 yards, hand right up in the air. We need to start teaching them to say "miss, miss, miss" as well for full effect.

City v QPR 2012 anybody?

1968. Man landing on the moon. Really ?

The proprietor of my local takeaway, Foo Kin Rich, made a killing on that one.

You do realise that many of these millionaire footballers are gambling heavily?

Didi Hamann recently admitted to losing £300k in one night alone. One very well known player has carried on playing when he should have been easily able to retire but can't afford to and has remortgaged his house twice to pay off gambling debts.

Many years ago I knew of one former international who owed an amount equivalent to a year's salary or more to one casino alone. And I know of another current international whose club are aware of a significant gambling issue and believe that he may be compromised because of that.

I could only see potentially a keeper conceding a couple early on for a bet that the team goes behind first etc.

Can't see too many other sure fire ways to ensure a betting result.

Nice draw last night perfect for both teams.

Was that the game we played on the moon, where nobody has ever been, how that double decker bus got there still remains a mystery too..!

Tonights was a prime example.

Both sides knew Barca where winning and that a draw was enough for both of them and that fucking ref!

Some fucker in Asia has won a fortune on the outcome of 2 red cards, nailed on!

This is not match fixing tho.
Late in the game BMG knew they were not goin to get the result they needed to make 2nd spot likely and with Barca winning Celtic couldn't catch them for 3rd spot so they took their foot off the gas.A draw was fine by us so we did likewise.
A draw was a higher probability before the match than it would have been in different circumstances,and this was reflected in the pre-match prices.
Had a look at the blog site and what pile of shit it is.Apart from comments on some proven fixes like the Italian one of a few years ago,they just seem to select matches that have had unusual twists in them and deduced that it was fixed without a shred of evidence for coming to this conclusion.
Another bit I noticed was a guy they got on from sportsradar who spoke about unusual betting patterns and the inference was that this equated to fixing.
Unusual betting patterns can be the result of many things most of which are not dubious.A good example is a current fad of so called betting experts who have followers(subscribers) who take on gambles like the £10-£1000 or £25-£10000 challenge.
The followers wait for the tipster to post his bet(it may be pre-match or in play) and many follow his bet.Quite often the bets in question may be a team like Bromley or Hednesford.Now if you imagine a sizeable about of people placing a bet on a low level fixture such as this in a short space of time it would look extremely suspicious but in reality nothing wrong with it.
So people should be aware that just because betting patterns are unusual it doesn't always equate to fixing.

I always said that Barton's red card in that game was dodgy as hell. He made full sure the ref couldn't keep him on the field.

He's claimed that his intention was to take a couple of City players with him. That's quite logical in Barton's mind.

Red shown before his antic's started and he's since admitted he was trying to get a city player to react to make it 10 v 10.

Just seen they've claimed City vs Bayern in 2013(the 3-2) was fixed.

Nothing to back it up on their feed, but have it at 98 out of 100 fixed games.

Any thoughts on it?

Who is "they"?

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Nothing to see here. How much do you think it would cost to bribe the entire City and Bayern squads to throw a game?

When it's far East Triad and Yakuza mafias who deal in millions in everyday dealings, they can clearly afford to pay a few million each to 30 footballers.

Football is fixed. It's a well known blog.

You're now trying to attach logic to Barton's actions, you'll only get a headache.

Wonder what these very selective Gooners have concluded about the number of red cards / penalties conceded when playing the skip-rats from Stretford? IIRC, Wenger publically stated that they went to Stretford expecting to concede at least one dodgy-as-fuck penalty but sometimes the Ref went the whole hog and red-carded one of their players too. Oh and wasn't it Hose A who said that you were not allowed to beat certain Teams in the Premiership?
