Match fixing confirmed (including in England)

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

The biggest issue I had with the "brown envelopes" thread is that some posters wouldn't even begin to entertain the idea that there could be a possibility that the Premier League may be open to corruption. Fact is, if people can be bought in Italy and Germany then they can also be bought in England. History shows that people have been guilty of match-fixing here in the past so why is it not possible for it to happen again?

Could you please do me a huge favour,mate?
Just name me three posters out of the 50 odd thousand we have on the forum who have actually stated that they would never even entertain the idea of corruption in England.
As opposed to those who don't discount the possibility,but would like to see some proof first,such as myself.<br /><br />-- Mon Feb 04, 2013 3:07 pm --<br /><br />

People don't even have to be bought, they could be blackmailed to do it.

You shag some underage or some granny :) and you don't want public to know it.

Then some big guy knocks on your door...

Yeah - Stevie G & Waynetta did a cracking job of keeping that one quiet,didn't they?

This thread is going to be fun after the brown envelopes thread..

Corruption I believe does happen in the English game however as NF has said I to would like some proof before we can be 100% sure.

That ref was a rag yesterday.

Actually mate some folk were saying the prem is corrupt
All some of us did was ask for evidence
As yet not one jot of it in over 20 years,and no one found guilty of anything.

Was Bruce Grobbelaar's trial from before the Premier League was set up?

Pige won't like this. :)

Will they ever list the matches and who exactly was involved? I really could see United being involved due to their brand power.

I wonder how clubs on the positive end of match fixing, even if they weren't fully aware of it (referees) could be punished. Could we see teams stripped of titles?

It proves nothing mate. I have never said corruption isn't with the game because we've seen it with the Italians. What I have a hard time believing, and will never believe until some hard evidence is put in front of us is the notion that refs, TV, TV bosses, ex Pro's, the pope etc etc are all in on some conspiracy to ensure United are at the top of the tree. Going one further than that I will never believe is a conspiracy to oust us or anyone else who becomes a threat to United, which is what people on here have said happens. Brown envelopes, coded messages and hundreds of thousands of people are what would be required to make United top of the tree, and that is simply not possible, not without someone having spilled the beans on it it's not. That is what I have always argued against and until hard evidence is put on a table, people arrested and titles removed from records, i'll never believe it, not just because someone has moaned about a decision that has gone their way or not ours, and 9 times out of 10 it is such incidents like that which get people going on about some United conspiracy. Should any hard evidence come up, titles removed and people arrested, I will happily hold my hands up and say 'fair play, I was wrong.

Didnt a jury find him not guilty?

There was no evidence and still there is none
If and when this super story comes out and folk are charged and found guilty i will believe its true.
