Wolford6 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Matchfixing in Football. "A Champions League tie played in England is one of 380 matches across Europe investigators say was fixed. Some 425 match officials, club officials, players and criminals are suspected of being involved." There are differnt scales of "fixing" though. 1. An associate once told me that he went years ago to a game where, from the kickoff, a forward passed the ball back to a defender who immediately booted it into touch. It seemed obvious that someone had a side-bet on the time of the first throw-in. That's not acceptable but it's not fixed the result of the game. 2. The English club that is being investigated need not have been involved in any scam. The away side might have come to lose.

JohnM Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 In RL, without P and R it must have been an infection rotten-ness rather than a contagious rotten-ness I'm interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it's quite a satisfying thing to do, isn't it? J. K.

l'angelo mysterioso Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I know quite a few Jewish Spurs and they call themselves it. they are entitled to, just as may black people refer to temselves as niggers: if yo are using such a term to refer to ouyrself then it can hardly abusive. Do you think there might be quite a few jewish fans who object to it? What if a club had a large number of black fans? What would it be all right to call them? the idea of rferring to a football club on the basis of the race of a group of its fans is sick.

terrywebbisgod Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Er...... Back to the subject. I reckon Bradford City actually have a chance against Swansea. From what I've seen of them they do better against better quality football sides rather than against the lower division bash and barge long ball merchants. That's my theory anyway. Spot on.

From what I've seen of them they do better against better quality football sides rather than against the lower division bash and barge long ball merchants. That's my theory anyway. They have chance but not much of a one. One of the good things about soccer is that a team can occasionally beat a significantly more talented one, which rarely happens in rugby.
