I think you've misunderstood me. The meaningless comment was related to the bloke's weekly bet. It wasn't a comment about this situation. The point I was making was that to this bloke I know, he has a regular bet that involves Stanley losing. He doesn't wish the club any harm. It's just something he does.
As for the over-reaction comment, well I believe that the tiny minority on here (and a couple of other places) are over-reacting to the situation. The players involved will be punished by the FA and that will have a knock-on effect for the rest of their careers (and possibly lives). We're not talking about fixing matches. We're talking about a bet, something that loads of other players will do on a regular basis. I don't feel cheated and I don't feel let down. They will be punished by the proper authorities and I don't really see the point in demanding that they be publicly flogged too.
Hope that clears things up.
