It's a real mess. Trouble is, there are so many non-football people involved in football now that many probably, genuinely, do not see it.Originally posted by Peter View PostAnyone else think we wouldn't have got that penalty?
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that people somewhere even believe Anfield '89 was a fit up

Anfield 89 is now officially 'before records began'. So it sort of didn't happen.Originally posted by redgunamo View PostIt's a real mess. Trouble is, there are so many non-football people involved in football now that many probably, genuinely, do not see it.

Which year was it we won the title after some far eastern betting syndicate paid the {AFC-supporting} groundsman at Wimbledon {or whoever} to pull the lights just after the 2nd half kicked off with it at 0-0?Originally posted by redgunamo View PostIt's a real mess.

We weren't playing well then.
The game was replayed in the middle of a winning run that led to the title.
Just like we wouldn't have won in '89 without Hillsborough, but that didn't have anything to do with far eastern betting syndicated paying some Gooner to crush everyone to death.

I only know that the lights failed. First I've heard of it being suspicious.Originally posted by Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult View PostCheers. So Ars?ne's first double was down to a dodgy betting syndicate and a bent Gooner.
Did that stop Fregie getting a 4th title on the trot?
It stopped them getting a third on the trot. Which they then achieved in the following 3 years

Oh, it was blatant. They stuck a huge amount on a draw. It pays out if the game is abandoned in the 2nd half. 0-0 at HT. KO - the Gooner groundsman pulls the plug 5 secs later.Originally posted by Peter View PostI only know that the lights failed. First I've heard of it being suspicious.

On the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and other Far Eastern cities the results of Premiership football matches are as eagerly awaited as anywhere in Britain among the army of fans.
..... Police are convinced the syndicate was responsible for sabotaging two other Premiership games. The first, in November 1997, was at Upton Park with West Ham at home to Crystal Palace. The floodlights failed after 65 minutes with the score at 2-2. The following month, a game at Selhurst Park, south London, between Wimbledon and Arsenal was also abandoned with the scores level. Both games were broadcast live to the Far East.
Police investigations showed that wiring in the power room at Selhurst Park had been tampered with in the same way as at the Valley, while Lim was found in possession of a ticket for the abandoned Wimbledon-Arsenal match. .....
Bent as the proverbial three bob note.
