Match Fixing - Did it affect us?

[calculatingInfinity 1,472]

I refuse to believe this, liverpool are too classy to be involved in match fixing.

... They don't have to be actively involved. Chelsea could also be "involved" in the same way Liverpool seems to have been without actually doing anything but playing the match, that one player on the other team might have been bribed is hardly their fault.

I can't believe you actually bought that. I was sarcastic, i couldn't care less for those mugs.

I really hope it has nothing to do with Chelsea, I am tired of seeing the club being dragged thru the mud by the media. Let someone else get splattered with mud for a while!!

Innocent or not we'll get dragged into it and JT blamed

You are crazy if you think Ovrebo was match-fixing. If he was, then Barcelona would have gotten a pelanty or a Chelsea red card that would help them score. Leaving it to the stoppage time shot is cutting it fine for a matchfixer.

The sums we're talking about, it has to be mostly smaller sides. If you're making even 5K a week, would you risk throwing away your career for one, two months pay? And for big players? If you're making 50K a week, it would take 10s of millions of pounds to get anyone to throw something.

No, it is the referee that gets bought. This thing happens all the time in Colombia. Not the whole result is thrown, maybe a yellow card within 10 minutes or a penalty or a goal at a certain time. Fixing a whole match is not easy.

It isn't only the referee. In the case of the Liverpool game, it was the keeper. Sometimes, more than one player on a team can be involved. Often it is not the whole game that is fixed, it is something else, but sometimes it is the whole game and a referee in a match between fairly even clubs could make a huge difference.

Liverpool say they have not been contacted by Europol concerning the European Union police agency's match-fixing investigation.

LMAO! I don't know how true this is (it did come from FourFourTom, a troll); but apparently the GK was supposed to concede 3, but Liverpool only managed to have 2 shots on target!

Yes it did effect us in 2009 at home vs Barca...Dodgy Norwegian reffing...Enough said

I'd sort of love to approach a footballer making 150K a week right before a massive game and offer them like 83p to throw it.
