Premier League Reality Check #

Want to know how the Premier League table would look this morning without the rogue input of the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB), corrupted players and the malicious impacts of a variety of market-making organisations?

Want a peek at Reality?

Our Traders maintain Real-Time Reality tables for all the territories that we cover.
This knowledge is carefully crafted by our outsourced match monitoring and by the proprietary input of our specialists.
We are able to eliminate the rogue inputs although, obviously, the matches might have progressed differently if a particular penalty/goal had been given, or not.
This latter type of randomisation should truly be random and, hence, over a season should not impact too heavily on the data.

However, when the corrupting forces imply that things 'level out' over the season, they are exhibiting even more economies of truth than is generally the case in their shoddy little fake worlds.

The Real Premier League table demonstrates this.

FIVE teams have a Real points total that is more than 12 points from the ScudamoreWorld take on the game.

And we would have a title race too - Chelsea would be 2 points ahead of United with the Manc's having a game in hand.

######################################################## would occupy the relegation positions.

And the handicap nature of this year's fake footie is forcefully demonstrated when we apply pattern recognition analytical techniques to the raw data.
The probability of the league table being so 'compressed' is revealing (and not for this place - you'll have to wait for the book).

And the corrupt consortium that we have focused on repeatedly over the current season?
It should be no surprise that a criminal collective of critical players, an agent, a manager, a bunch of match officials and a selection of private markets in which to 'secretly' trade your criminalities has produced benefits for the teams involved.
The three primary teams involved have seen their combined points totalisations inflated by 19 points.

Crime pays.
A double whammy!
You fix the games for proprietary profit and you fix the table so that such shenanigans may continue next season (although idiocy in the strategic department means that one of the teams involved in this corruption will be back in the Championship next year).
_____________________________________________________________________________________

THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS MASSIVE CORRUPTION WHICH DOES NOT INVOLVE REGULATION OF THE BOOKMAKERS AND THE PRIVATE MARKETS.

EACH MANAGER SHOULD BE ABLE TO QUESTION 4 REFEREEING DECISIONS IN EACH GAME.
A VIDEO OFFICIAL ON OPEN MICROPHONE WOULD ASSESS THE PLAY FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES BEFORE MAKING A DECISION.

THE REFEREE WOULD HAVE NO SAY AND THE VIDEO OFFICIAL AND REFEREE SHOULD NOT BE PAIRED UP MORE THAN IS STATISTICALLY LIKELY.

THE CORRUPTING INFLUENCES WOULD LOSE MUCH OF THEIR POWER.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE WOULD BE INCREASED FOCUS ON THE CORRUPTIONS AT PLAY.
CRIMINALISED MATCH OFFICIALS WOULD BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT DUE TO THE ABILITY TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE MERITOCRATICALLY.

CORRUPTION REQUIRES AS SMALL A GROUPING OF OPERATIVES AS POSSIBLE OTHERWISE LEAKAGE UNDERMINES THE SCAM.
IF THE GLOBAL CRIMINALS WERE FORCED TO BE CORRUPTING A LARGER GROUP IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THEIR MATCH FIXING, THEIR CRIMINALITY WOULD BE UNDERMINED.

IT WOULD ALSO BE NECESSARY, AS WE HAVE ARGUED REPEATEDLY, TO EXPAND THE ROSTER AT THE PGMOB.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY 20 REFEREES ON THE SELECT GROUP OF WHOM THREE ARE INJURED, ONE IS CARRYING AN INJURY, ONE IS BEING REHABILITATED AFTER THREATENING HIS FORMER BUSINESS PARTNER, LEAVING JUST 15 REFEREES ON THE SELECT GROUP ROSTER.
THIS CREATES RIDICULOUS SCENARIOS.
FOR EXAMPLE, MIKE DEAN REFEREED MAN CITY VERSUS BLACKBURN YESTERDAY AND WILL ALSO REFEREE VILLA VERSUS HULL TOMORROW.
DOWD, MASON, STROUD, HALSEY, ATKINSON AND JONES ALSO HAVE TWO MATCHES OVER THE WEEKEND (ONE AS 4TH OFFICIAL).

WE WANT.
100 REFEREES.
4 MATCH CALLS PER GAME.
THE 100/4 SOLUTION TO FOOTBALLING CORRUPTION.

Compare And Contrast

We posted the other day about the corruptions behind Chelsea's 'achievement' in the Champions League Semi Final First Leg in Barcelona.
The crooks would like this type of match to be the future of football - a betting market dominated event in which an outcome was purchased via the complicity of insiders.

On Thursday, in the UEFA Cup, the game between Werder Bremen and Hamburg was like a flashback to a time where the game mattered for pride and not profit. As David Pleat said: "I don't think I've seen a game of such intensity for a long time."

Last night, Barcelona demolished Real Madrid 6-2 in the Bernabeu in the most astonishing display of balletic football I've witnessed at this level of the game since the Murdochracy moved in on our sport.
Totally Total Football.

We have the choice of these two types of future.

Yet even these two pure events still had the grubby hands of the bookmakers at their peripheries.

################################################################## - 'nuff said.

BSkyB were delaying the images during last night's El Clásico just in order to give the SkyBet operation the invalid tilt that it always requires in the market.
In everything.
