2005 CL Final player arrested on suspicion of match fixing

[Jacko93]

You'd get the same odds on things in a Champions' League final as you would a normal league game, wouldn't you? So why risk it in such a high profile match?

And, as mentioned, it's different with lower league players and multi millionaires.

Having said that, Italians.

You would yeah, but you'd have 10, 20, 50 times the amount of people betting.

He was judged by the referee Manuel Mejuto González to have fouled Gerrard, resulting in a penalty kick. Whether or not YOU think it was really a penalty is irrelevant, the decision was given against Gattuso.



No-one is saying the final 'was rigged'. Gattuso, who played in the final, is being investigated on allegations of match fixing.

If you don't think there's any correlation between the two things, fine.

It was just interesting that BBC Radio Merseyside thought to mention it in their story on Gattuso (in the main news bulletin as well, not the sports bulletin).

The same referee really should have sent Gerrard off at Anfiled against Olympiakos before he caused Andy Gray to come in his kecks.

I really don't understand why you're using Andy gray as a windup. Great player for us but everyone knows he's a bit of a cock. And he is a commentator who is supposed to be non biased.

You only have to look at the kopite infested punditry we are fed across the three main sports channels (sky bbc and bt) to see who the bitter and twisted ones are. You only have to have Paul Merson mentioning our name for Phil Thomson to go off in a ramble.

Most of the Kopite pundits seem to be giving Everton the credit they deserve for the football they are playing which is very decent.

. Just because they played for us doesn't make them decent pundits, Lawrenson is especially woeful and unfunny beyond belief.

He's better than Hansen who's biased.

Gonzo thompson is beyond parody.

Don't think anyone's taking it seriously, mate. Foreigners don't understand the English sense of humour it seems.

I do and I think it's absolutely hilarious.

Best sense of humour on the planet, bar none.

Hansen biased? Never!

Hansen biased? Never!

Defo. His tell is he sinks in his seat and grimacing when having to talk about Everton being ace

 

[EFCNIK]

I don't mind kopite bias but it's just there lack of humour. Someone like peter Reid can have a laugh and make digs and have a bit if fun with the rivalry but people like Hansen and Thompson just cannot talk about us without fuming.

Thompson is only funny when he's being ripped.
