BBC News - Seven footballers arrested in spot-fixing investigation

Please please, let there be none of ours involved ......

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

I'm not suggesting that any of the wonderfully honest members of the Constabulary would sink to such a level but, given that The Sun (that bastion of honest journalism - remember Hillsborough?) appears to have offered money as part of a sting, I wonder how much more money is being offered by other undercover reporters to get hold of the names of the accused players?

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

Happy to report all our boys were at training today.:)

Sad for clubs involved; the issues are horrendus:(

We hear those involved were arrested in the morning.

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

Those that are injured won't feature; not sure who but keep that in mind please; plus those on loans out;)

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

Well pleased about that, Think things like that are in the past now,:)

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

When will they release the details of Ronnie Moore's bettig charges?

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

PNE have confirmed they have been in contact with the National Crime Agency in relation to this investigation!

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

The Daily Mail is even naming the seven players. And, as Mr T said, there's no-one from Stanley on their list.

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

"The National Crime Agency has re-arrested the 6 original suspects
based upon new evidence along with a further 7 footballers. All aged
18 to 30." Daily Express

Sad :(

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

Sad, but also inevitable.
Football always been linked to gambling but, since the money-bags Premier clubs got into bed with the global gambling 'industry, it has been taken to a new level. Of course those who suffer will be individual players and fans of the clubs, not the gambling corporations who will give odds on anything these days, from corners, fouls, to yellow cards, just to extract that extra bit of moolah from suckers.

im suprised any footballer can get more than £50 on with a high street bookie.
the bookies only want mugs to play those daft FOBT machines, they are not bookmakers anymore.

Dummies all of them!:dummy:

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

Glad there is not a Stanley name amongst the 7, but feel sorry for PNE and Barnsley respectively. You would have thought players would have learnt after all the high profile cases in recent years! I do hope though, for their own sakes, they are not guilty as they have stated to their respective clubs, otherwise, that is game over in most cases.

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

Well guilty or not,they would say that to their clubs.;)

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

This evening.
Another door opens for Professor Coleman, Davo?

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

I think he has his hands full trying to keep Southport up.
I will be amazed if he achieves it with the rubbish team he inherited from Alan Wright.

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

BTW,
Does anyone know what Ronny Moore did wrong?

The press couldn't wait to tell the world when rob heys made a mistake, why not Ronny Moore?

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

To be fair Exile JC has turned Southport around and they are playing some excellent football.
He could have easily tried to kick his way out of the relegation scrap,but has assembled a good young footballing side - respect from me !!!,and hope he keeps them in the conference

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

I wasn't in any way getting at Professor Coleman (or Davo:rolleyes:), F19.
I wish him all the luck and hope he not only keeps Southport in the Conference this season but also repeats the miracle he achieved with Stanley and gets them back into the League. Another Lancashire club in League 2 could only be to the advantage of Stanley. Sooner it becomes the equivalent of Div3North, the better!

At least one section of the press has.

Re: Spot Fixing Charges - Fingers Crossed
 

I would hazard the guess that Accrington Stanley may be small, but are far more well known than Tranmere, Therefore more mileage, cos more people take notice.;)
