From the BBC:

The Football Association is to examine alleged match-fixing allegations involving a Championship match sent to them by the Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

 

Bookmakers reportedly detected a "massive movement" in bets in Asia in an unspecified Championship match at around half-time.

 

Any ideas who/what/when?

I doubt it was us.

 

Anyone with any sense would have bet us to lose long before kick off.

Ah now it all makes sense.

Lowe strips the team down to the bare bones,then brings in a Dutch bloke whos never had any experience of Championship football.

Then Rupert goes to the nearest bookies and puts a wad on us to lose.

He must be laughing all the way to the bank.

It could be Saints, these are all the comebacks after HT

 

Possibilities are:

 

Southampton 1-2(HT 1-0) Birmingham

Perry 43

O'Connor 49

Phillips 77

----------

Watford 2-1(HT 0-1) Ipswich

Counago 2

Eustace 59

O'Toole 87

----------

Preston 2-1(HT 0-1) Charlton

Gray 19

Mellor 58

Nicholson 66

----------

 

Charlton 1-3(HT 1-0) Wolverhampton

Bailey 3

Ebanks-Blake (pen) 61

Vokes 81

Vokes 87

----------

Burnley 3-2(HT 1-2) Watford

Hoskins 6

Alexander (pen) 25

Hoskins 45+

Paterson 46

Elliott 69

---------

but the most likely to me is, Donny 1-0 up and against 10 men. Loads of money would be made for a Barnsley win in those circumstances.

 

Barnsley 4-1(HT 0-1) Doncaster

Stock (pen) 11

Foster 54

Campbell-Ryce 60

Macken 73

Hume 87

Maybe it was Reading v Watford game, some guy bet that there would be a goal scored that went nowhere near the goal line, and he bribed the linesman to do it?

 

Happened in the first half.

It was Norwich v Derby apparently.

 

MP Norman Lamb has tabled a question, which directly refers to Norwich City's home league match against Derby County on October 4th, which Derby won 2-1.

 

It reads: �To ask the secretary of state for culture, media and sport what discussions he has had with the Football Association on allegations of match-fixing and unusual betting activity involving the Norwich City vs Derby County Football League Championship match on Saturday, 4 October.�

 

This was the match that was 1-1 until Marshall the Norwich goalie ran into his own defender, with 6 minutes to go, leaving an open goal for the Derby striker to score in.

Yep well if there was a sudden flash of betting in Asia and a bit of a silly incident straight after, it looks a bit dodgy.

Perhaps those Asians have really built a machine like the one in Paycheck.

Seems to be a commonly recurring theme in films just now,Paycheck looking forward,Déjà Vu looking back.Still, prefer going thirty years forward in time in a DeLorean and bringing back a sports almanac myself.
