    The Daily Mail also had a headline about match fixing. But would be journalists and others on here always say that the DM is crap so I'll post another headline which describes it as match-fixing. It is the Guardian so it must be correct.

    If Fred West was called Frederico Westitelli he'd be innocent in BCC's eyes. It's an Italian infatuation.

    More like a Juventus infatuation. Maybe, like Oscar Wilde made the mistake of saying at his trial, he is a lover of youth?

    No it's not. Sir Alex Ferguson, Rafa Benitez and Mark Hughes have all said publicly that do not want certain referees to ever officiate their games again. The only difference is they did it publicly and it was overlooked here for some bizarre and highly dubious reason. The guilty Italian teams did not do it publicly and were rightly punished. It was not match fixing.

    Like diving, they take it more seriously over there.
