Football has always been a bit corrupt. It’s riddled with it now from top to bottom. And we don’t even know 10% of what goes on. And it involves nearly everyone to one degree or another. How many players are involved in betting fixes on your regular Saturday through their friends and family including betting on number of cards, first player to be carded, number of corners etc. Right through to executives and agents involved in transfers, back handers etc. Hard to imagine all of the refs are clean either.
it’s a nasty thing but we still put our hands in our pockets and go along like the muppets we are. David Batty knew what he was doing when he left the game behind him.
Saints were just the wankers that got caught.
