The Gun Of Bavaria Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/10125546/UEFA-investigating-40-cases-of-match-fixing LONDON (AP) - UEFA is investigating 40 cases of match-fixing involving Champions League and UEFA Cup matches. Peter Limacher, head of disciplinary services for UEFA, told The Associated Press on Friday that the cases involved early qualifying matches of clubs "mainly from eastern Europe" over the last four years. Limacher said UEFA had been alerted to suspicious betting patterns. Limacher said: "In the cases we have seen it's really the deliberate planned fix of the games - the whole games. It might take some time (to convict) but in cases where we can work together with the police that might be possible." He said most of the clubs being investigated sought to make a profit from betting because they knew they would be eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Division Marduk Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 They should investigate the Monaghan United-Shelbourne game from a few weeks ago. That c**ting referee was clearly on the take. Still, it makes a change from Asian syndicates trying to blow up floodlights in order to rig games, etc...
