I think many people are confused between betting and match-fixing. Loads of fans like to have a bet on games and will often bet against their own teams if they believe that there's a chance they'll win a few quid. It doesn't mean that they want their teams to lose, just edging their bets. There'll be bets being placed by footballers from the Premiership downwards, every week of every season. We just aren't aware of it.
If there hadn't been a load of 'outside' money placed on this game, then there'd never have been an investigation and we'd never have been any wiser.

that is perfectly true as far as i know, but the whole point to me T.M. is simple, if someone places a bet against their own side, only a fool would believe they will give 100% fer the cause, more so if theres a couple of grand involved, players playing crap,i can live with, but that accusation is summat else.
