The Horse's Mouth Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Four clubs involved in two play-off matches that ended 79-0 and 67-0 respectively - a total of 146 goals - have been suspended in Nigeria. Plateau United Feeders were 79-0 victors over Akurba FC while Police Machine FC demolished Bubayaro FC 67-0. "It is unacceptable - a scandal of huge proportions," said Muke Umeh, chairman of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) Organising Committee. "The teams are suspended indefinitely, pending further sanctions." Plateau United Feeders and Police Machine went into the matches level on points, with promotion to the lowest tier of the Nationwide League Division at stake. The results meant that Plateau edged above Police Machine on goal difference. Umeh added: "We will investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it." The NFF's director of competitions, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, gave assurances that the Organising Committee would hand out severe sanctions on all persons and institutions indicted by the investigation. "The teams involved, their players and officials, match officials, coordinator and anyone found to have played some role in this despicable matter would be severely dealt with," Sanusi said. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23240104 lol

Guest MattP Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Only in Africa would they even try and think they could get away with such a score.
purpleronnie Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Crap, I hope the results stand, I had a tenner on over 66.5 goals.
separator Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Crap, I hope the results stand, I had a tenner on over 66.5 goals. I know the feeling, 67 goals and I still lost my both teams to score bet!
The Doctor Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Who looked at that and thought, yeah, no-one will suspect anything?
Guest Bilo Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Crap, I hope the results stand, I had a tenner on over 66.5 goals. That's nothing, I had a go on the spread betting.
Charl91 Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 I'm pretty sure I could pick 10 random people from the pub, and get a better score against Real Madrid then that.
