Ipswich away 2010. Snow doubt about it. Someone had big bucks resting on that game being played and us getting torn a new arsehole.

 

Nah. The boss of football ($ky) made sure that they didn't lose any viewing figures.

 

I think that, along with sending Newcastle to Plymouth on a Monday night, is the most scandalous stuff from them yet.

Knocky is at Gala casino atm so he hasn't been arrested just yet  :sweating:

 

Not really surprising considering the difference in cash between League 2 and the PL. The top of the football league must pay there players over 200 times the arse end of it does  :unsure:

First corner, first card, first foul etc in League 2 games. I think you can bet on throw ins in some places (might not be able to now, not sure).

 

First throw-in in a League One or Two game? You kick off and punt it long and "overhit" it. 7 grand. Thanks.

The first throw in used to be a big thing. I believe I read about leicester players doing it some years ago. Lump it forward to Iwan Roberts but always just too high and jobs a good 'un.

Didn't Le Tissier admit to doing the first throw in thing, or trying at least? They took kick off, he launched it out the wing, a little under hit but it still would have made it, and one of his team mates bust a gut and got to the ball and kept it in!

In The Secret Footballer, the guy talks about first goal-kicks. Obviously the team who kicks off starts play, then it goes to a midfielder who just lumps it forward aimlessly. Job done.

I mean who the fcuk are Cray Wanderers?! 

 

The 2nd (I think) oldest non league team in the world and the oldest in London. They should be building a new ground down the road from me if they ever get planning permission.

Exactly. Not even slightly suspicious because most football league players are bad enough to knock it straight out of play. Say they were on a grand a week/match, one overhit long ball and in ten seconds you've earned 7x your weekly wage. Happy days.

A newspaper says it has evidence of a player saying he could arrange a yellow card booking in the Championship League.

 

Police have confirmed to Sky News they have opened a new investigation into match-fixing allegations.

 

The National Crime Agency said it is looking at claims passed to them by the Sun on Sunday.

 

The newspaper alleges it has evidence of a player saying he could arrange a yellow card booking in the Championship League in exchange for thousands of pounds.

 

In a statement, the National Crime Agency said: "The NCA can confirm that the Sun on Sunday has passed material from its own investigation to

the National Crime Agency.

 

"An active NCA investigation is now under way and we are working closely with the Football Association and the Gambling Commission. We cannot comment further at this stage."

 

Sky News sports presenter Charlie Thomas said: "The fact that the NCA is investigating indicates just how seriously they are taking these allegations."

 

Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey, said: "We treat any allegations of criminal activity in our competitions with the utmost seriousness.

 

"Given that there is an ongoing police investigation into this matter, we cannot comment further at this time.

 

"Although, we would encourage anyone with any evidence to report it to the Police.

 

"We will be giving our full assistance to the Police during their investigation."

 

The new probe comes after the NCA announced at the end of last month that it had launched an investigation into "a suspected international illegal betting syndicate".

 

Gambling on the matches is thought to have taken place on Asian-based betting services and so far investigators to do not believe British betting markets are involved.

 

The inquiry was launched after an undercover investigation by the Daily Telegraph newspaper, which recorded one alleged fixer offering to rig two games.

 

It is understood to involve clubs in the English Football Conference, the level below the Football League.

 

On Thursday, the NCA revealed that two footballers from Brighton-based Conference South team Whitehawk FC had been charged over match-fixing allegations.

 

Michael Boateng and Hakeem Adelakun, both 22 and from the Croydon area of south London, were charged with conspiracy to defraud contrary to common law.

 

The two men have been bailed to appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on December 11.

 

They are the third and fourth people charged to date in connection with the NCA investigation into the alleged international illegal betting syndicate.

 

Chann Sankaran, 33, from Hastings, East Sussex, and Krishna Sanjey Ganeshan, 43, from Singapore, were charged on November 28 with plotting to defraud bookmakers.

 

Both were remanded in custody to appear at Birmingham Crown Court on December 13.

 

Thomas said both NCA investigations were being carried out separately.

 

He added: "This is a situation that football has been fearing and had hoped it had nothing to do with football at all, but now it appears it is encroaching on the league

as well as the non-league."

I reckon there'll be some referees getting sweaty right now. I've said for ages that I think there are numerous bent referees, especially in the FL. I've always found it strange that we just seem to accept that English refs are inherently honest when around Europe refs are being pinged for match fixing.

I think the Sam Sodje business will prove to be merely the tip of the iceberg. I'm interested to see whether the FA try and cover this up or whether they admit there might be a rather large problem in the game.
