Southampton Centre Of Spot Fixing Scandal

Claus Lundekvam has blown the lid off of spot fixing in football. Anybody who thought this was confined to cricket and Pakistan now have to think again. If the Norwegian is to be believed, the games we watch week in week out are anything but clean. No wonder the Mafia are moving in on Watford!

Claus claims, "We could make deals with the opposing captain about, for example, betting on the first throw, the first corner, who started with the ball, a yellow card or a penalty. Those were the sorts of thing we had influence over.

“The results were never on the agenda. That is something I would never have done. We were professional competitors. Even though what we did, of course, was illegal, it was just a fun thing.”

Now quite how spot fixing penalties is not match fixing is absolutely beyond me. Even a pre-arranged throw in or yellow card could materially effect the result.

These are disgraceful claims and, never mind the game's governing bodies, the police must launch an enquiry immediately and anybody found to be involved should serve time behind bars.

    Anything that involves real FACTS is beyond your cockney addled brain mate!

    Calling the ref a ba**ard COULD have a material effect on a game, so I suppose that - in your logic - is the equaivalent of match fixing too?

    Yet another total non article.....

    Another total non story again, when you going to find some wet spam news to put on this Leeds United site of yours.....

    And if bookmakers took bets on the timing of players calling the referee a bastard, then yes, I agree. But they don't. Flaw in your reasoning therefore 2316!

    Made me smile 0628.

    Perhaps this is the reason why all those strange things that appear to happen of a football pitch for no reason
