European Betting Scandal

How very dare you. I'm not allowed on the United board. I insulted somebody by calling him an idiot and was banned after a complaint. Now I wonder who else does that kind of thing.

Not a chance that TOOR is a right tool.

It was Arsenal in a few games. They paid the other teams to lose but they couldn't even win against a side that wasn't trying

sounds like liverpools transfer policy of recent years

You've let yourself down now Bla, you must do better than that.

The 8-0 wouldn't surprise me - but I would be surprised if we were in on it... The bet would probably be on Liverpool to win by 5 or more. Besiktas players bunged to make it easy, but we have no knowledge of the fix & score 8 because we can - not because someone is saying "tonight, you should try a bit harder. Score more than 5 & I'll give you £Xk" - not kind of how match fixing works, it usually to throw the match. Its rare that the winning team had prior knowledge. I say it wouldn't surprise me just because of the controversy at the time - i.e. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2007/dec/05/newsstory.sport7 - but it would have surely come out before now (barring paranoid conspiracy theories of corruption from top to bottom)

I don't think its that game though. How hard do you think that would be to pull off? Would it not be more likely to have red/yellow card betting? I mean just think how much easier it is to get a player sent off/booked than it is to determine the outcome of a match - particularly when we aren't just talking about 1 game but many across Europe...

-------------------------------
It would surprise me considering they said it was "three or four years ago" and that game was six years ago.

Ah, I didn't spot the time frames. And it was definitely in England - not Britain? Rhyl 0 Partizan 12 would be my next bet
