http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21319807 Interesting I wonder which team is involved UTD Chavski Arsenal Liverpool Spuds Place your bets
It says in the last three or four years, so the chances of it being Liverpool are very low. Think it's pretty obvious which game it was http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17282312
Thats the one doing its rounds on some forums, as well as the 2009 Barca game v the Chavs (Not Chavs fault)
This one is dodgy as ****, good auld Harry was involved, and the Italians have never prooved to be clean as a whistle: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/9145936.stm
Aye, those two are both likely candidates, tho' not sure about Harry's involvement Campbell - I doubt you'd need to bribe him to get Spurs to win a vital game! The 2009 semi final looks particularly dodgy when you consider the convenient mistakes Ovrebo made in other games around that time, and his early retirement a year later, tho' the decision to send off Abidal doesn't chime quite so well with that theory. Another one is the 2011 final - 90% of people would have expected Barca to outplay us, so someone could have made a good bit of cash by convincing some Barca defenders to keep the scores level at half time. Then they opened their legs like an Essex girl and let us score with our first chance. Also, the whole 'a game played in England' potentially indicates it was the 2011 final, as they might otherwise have said it was a home game for an English team.
Do you guys remember the Lyon vs Dinamo Zagreb match? It was 1-1 at half time and Lyon found out they needed to win by 6 goals or so... The game ended 7-1 to Lyon.
But then why send off Abidal for next to nothing when Barca were desperately chasing the game? A biased ref would have clearly waved that one away, and would probably also have booked Ballack and Drogba for their constant dissent. If that game was fixed, it was fixed to have a red card and no penalties, rather than being fixed in anyone's favour.
hhh Abra knows better it is common practice in Russia and he done it alot .. his richness was based on bribing people to buy the oil company on cheap
i have no game in my mind tbh . we are talking about a club who had bribed a ref or players or willing to change game results for some money who can bribe? I only see Abra who can accept a bribe? not sure .. definitely not UTD or Arsenal or chelsea which players could had received money to win extra cash ? tbh with current players wages? which English club player is tempted to do that?
So United can't afford £140,000 in bribes? Donut. It's not as if the bribes went in to £5m+ was it?
