    :angry: This pisses me off. The FA will flippantly dismiss that it's happening at a higher level, well, until it's exposed.

    Is this match fixing scandal the reason Kevin Friend was suspended?

    Gary Lineker ‏@GaryLineker 14m
    &#8220;@StanCollymore: If breaking news on match fixing proves to be true, life bans for players who do it and move on.&#8221; < Agreed. Inexcusable.


    Might be the first time I have ever agreed with something Stan Collymore has said...

    it is mate, bang out of order. My point is if it's definitely happening at lower level it's going on at all levels as far as I'm concerned and needs to be dealt with as such. I know the FA will play it down.

    I very much imagine you're right marra. A bit like the steroid abuse in athletics.

    To be honest Stu I was surprised. Probably a bit naive about the whole thing but when the guy in the video clip talks about costing £70k to sort a team out for a fix it all starts to sound too damn true.

    Apparently no PL teams involved. Yet!

    Pssssst get a bet on Sunderland to be 3-0 up at Villa at half time, then a UFO lands on the pitch and kidnaps Gus and the game gets abandoned. Our first 8 home fixtures were fixed by the 'computer'.
