Come on now, don't think your sht don't stink.

Silky by name but not by nature. It's like you've taken it upon yourself to pick out any slightly contraversial comment and drag out an argument over 50 comments with me doing the explaining and you doing the insulting.

Think you'll find it wasn't just me that found your shítè comment a bit ridiculous
Apologies if the comment got to you..i'm a smooth and silky customer I'll have you know

Silky

Everyone loves a quick resolution.

It is almost a century since the scourge of illicit gambling in British football was first exposed when Manchester United and Liverpool conspired to rig a match in 1915.


The biggest scandal was uncovered in 1964, when former Swindon Town, Plymouth Argyle, St Johnstone and Mansfield Town player Jimmy Gauld confessed to systematically interfering with matches in the Football League. He recruited Sheffield Wednesday players David Layne, Peter Swan and Tony Kay, who bet on their side to lose to Ipswich Town in December 1962.


The trio were among 10 players jailed, while they were also handed life bans — later overturned — causing Kay to miss out on a place in England’s 1966 World Cup squad.


Thirty years later Bruce Grobbelaar, Hans Segers and John Fashanu stood trial for conspiracy to corrupt after Grobbelaar was caught on video discussing match fixing. The goalkeeper claimed he was gathering evidence with the intent of taking it to police, and two successive court cases saw a jury fail to reach a verdict, leading the trio to be cleared in November 1997.


Grobbelaar went on to sue The Sun newspaper for accusing him of match fixing during his time at Liverpool and was initially awarded £85,000. But the House of Lords slashed that to £1 and ordered him to pay legal costs of about £500,000, rendering him bankrupt.

Don't worry I got it titliv, was hardly cryptic.

I like how the wife 'breaks her silence' whilst she's making £250 a week.

"No need for insults"

What did I say?! Must be this thread. Brings out the worst in you

It'll take too much money to pay players off to have matches fixed in the PL, also to have whole matches fixed would require a good few people to be on in it. I just don't see how a secret like that will stay hidden for long, but I very much doubt matches get fixed through players in the PL.

Referees on the other hand......

Players earning 5k a week , I hate poor people!

At best it'll be spot fixing (I think that's the right word?) where players will take money to give away a certain number of throw ins etc. But I still don't believe this to happen the PL. The major weakness I see for match fixing is through the referees!

Probably easier now u can bet on virtually any market in football....


Cards......throws...corners.....minutes spreads and the like......
