Didn't Europol said the games took place in England? If that is the case, then it can't be Dinamo Zagreb v Lyon. And apparently, the match fixing issue happened in one of the preliminary rounds played in England.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. But I won't be surprised if that lyon match was still found to be fixed anyway.

Preliminary is referring to the qualifying rounds then?

Whereabouts did you read it was a preliminary round? Can't seem to see that anywhere. Maybe I'm just being blind :S

Europol source,games fixed per int.competition. Champions League: 2 preliminary games; Europa League: 1 cup game+14 preliminary games (1/2)

Maybe I'm just reading things. :P

Daily Mail compiled a list of CL games played in England in last 3-4 years.

There's no way to know until we know. Preliminary round makes the most sense because if you are rigging games, you don't want to draw attention to it. Also, referees/players would be much less likely to be willing to tamper with high profile games. With all the German league games we know were fixed, it makes some sense that the European matches might involve the same people but we'll just have to wait.

Doubt it's the barca game tbh.

Wasn't there a game last season, I think in the final round of the group stages, where a team had to win by like 5 goals to stand any chance of qualifying for the knock-out rounds and they smashed some rubbish team by 6 or something like that? Can't remember who was involved but it felt dodgy to me at the time. Or is that not the kind of fixing they're taking about?

Was it lyon ?

i think the system focusses on getting first throw-in, first free-kick etc because fixing results is a lot tougher in football. Cricket has had a lot of match-fixing in the past and that's because a single person can affect the result of a game. Azharuddin, Cronje anyone? But I dont think this has anything to do with Ovrebo. I would love for this to be about Ovrebo though!

I don't really know much about betting, but I think from what I have noticed in all the Manure games the ref give the decisions when it seems that Man United will struggle and the game seems out of their hand e.g. when we equalised or when Liverpool had a brilliant start.

I think that way ppl will be inclined to bet for us or Liverpool at that time and then with the red cards, offside goals, penalties and everything the whole situation turns around and all the people who bet for Liv and Chelsea lose their bets.

I dunno. Also wasn't Rooney's father and uncle in some betting scam for the SPL could that have a link with all this?

A couple of years out, but the "goal that wasn't" by snivelpool seven years ago, Or anything to do with that cunt David Ellerray. Barca 09, Barca 05, Barca 06. Man Ure this season, Snivelpool any fucking season. That cunt Uri Geller moving the ball before McAllister took that penalty against Engerlund. That Cuntin' referee at Hampden two years ago who gave the Czech's a dodgy pen in last minute to get a point, was then binned after the game, cunt. Cunt referee who never gave Lineker's last minute goal at the Bridge offside in 1990, fucking miles onside but how dare he.

Paranoid?, I ain't fucking paranoid, just stop talking about me ok? :D

I haven't read a lot of previous posts, but can it be somehow be connected to the CL group stage/knock-out drawings? Every year you get intriguing pairs that come off as not so coincidental. Take for example Real Madrid - Manu (connection through Ronaldo) ; Inter-Chelsea (when Mourinho was in charge) and there are tons more. Would be logical why'd they do this - the more views they get, the more money is being accumulated. Has anyone thought about this?

Thought about this on the way home when i read about it on my phone. But even with all this match fixing, Abidal was sent off and we so nearly won. If Iniesta's shot goes over the bar, we're through no matter what or if Essien had made proper contact with his clearance. The referee sure did to keep the tie open though to give Barca a chance to come back. We were also architects of or own downfall that night.

This really could be the game, though.
