maqroll Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Do you think that the integrity of some matches in the Premiership are compromised by dirty refs, bought players, etc...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 21, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 21, 2010 No. Sh1te refs and diving words removed are one thing (or 2 things?). But actual pre-meditated corruption? No I genuinely don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wol. Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yes, I think players, linesman and refs can all be brought and are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 No. To think otherwise in my opinion is just absolutely stupid. Bad refereeing decisions happen all the time and there is rarely a game where a side get's absolutely no decisions! If you taped a game and looked back on every decision, I bet there'd be fouls for either side which weren't or non fouls for fouls etc.. I don't get how anyone could come to the decision of yes.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I reckon people would have been caught by now. It's not as if they don't investigate on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world isn't this lovely justice for all place people seem to think it is. With the amount of money the FA generates it can pretty much do what it wants.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I think they have it in their best interests that certain teams should remain near the top for reasons other than what happens on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fran_villa Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yes I do,and I also think some players are on drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 No. I don't think there's any fixing going on, I think referee's are just 'scared' of bigger teams and generally poor at their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 No, I don't think so. But referees are influenced by the media and managers towards the bigger clubs and players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Serious Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Nah, no way. There's no Tim Donaghy out there, and if there was he'd be caught eventually. Remember Calciopoli? People aren't stupid enough to take such risks when literally millions are scrutinizing their decisions world-wide. I reckon it happens all the time in the Eastern European leagues, and wouldn't be shocked if some no-hopers down in League 2 decided to have their friends make them some money and started throwing games, but the Premier League? Not a chance in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbaldie1 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 No, I don't think so. But referees are influenced by the media and managers towards the bigger clubs and players. Yep, thats what I think too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Directly fixing? No. No brown envelopes or anything like that imo. Especially not for players... Youd be looking for more than a career's earnings for throwing a game to make it worthwhile, and that aint gonna happen Indirect, unintentional fixing based on media influence? Yeh, definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
