What Or Who Decides The Outcome Of Football Matches?
Roberto Martinez refers obliquely to "third party decisions" and the astute Spaniard is more than correct.
But the loci of those third parties are both disparate and interlinked dependent upon the murky circumstance.
Why Was There No Mention In The British Press About The Wave Of Arrests For Match-Fixing In Turkey Until The Observer Ran A Footnote Today?
Fatih Akyel played 64 times for his country and Arif Erdem was another star performer during the years when the Turkish team ran very fast indeed.
Both are now in prison awaiting trial for fraud and belonging to an illegal criminal organisation - presumably implying that there is legal variety...
Others among the 46 under arrest include managers, owners, administrators and the inevitable goalkeeping troupe.
There are seven individuals still on the run.
Meanwhile in China, three more referees have been arrested - Lu Jun, Huang Junjie and Zhou Weixin - following on the jailing of Gong Jianping for ten years for taking bribes.
There are other match fixing investigations underway or recently completed in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Eire, Croatia, Macedonia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Portugal, Israel, Switzerland, Austria, Zimbabwe, Ukraine and Singapore.
We could add Spain, Scotland, Greece, Russia, Denmark, France, Romania, Serbia, Albania, Finland, the Netherlands and Bulgaria as other illegitimate territories.
But the one that me and my team are most certain about is the English Premier League - ScudamoreWorld.
Why Are MUST MUGS?
Standing proudly in your green and gold finery, taking a stand against the free market, a principled army of real supporters...
And what are you standing for, you people?
This is not FC United of Manchester, a community response to a neo-con venture.
This is no different than Romania in 1989.
This is a coup.
For just as the Iliescu clan removed the Ceausescu clan from power in order to impose the same template of corruption.
So it must be for MUST.
Goldman Sachs are the bankers behind the Glazers.
Goldman Sachs are the bankers behind the Red Knights.
Goldman Sachs are the bankers where Sir Ferguson stashes his tens of millions.
Red Knights?
Red Shites.
Why Does The Murdochracy Avoid Reality?
90% of fans are in favour of the implementation of the Ofcom dissection of the BSkyB business model for top level corrupted sport in Britain.
The Murdochracy has levered the malleable ones that ruin the federations and bodies that now oversee our sports to back their objections into Ofcom massively reducing the subscription rates for BSkyB sport on other media platforms.
Strangely but predictably enough, there is no mention of this appeal in The Times.
You will pay to read our hyperreality.
You will pay.
Who Is Responsible For The Demise Of West Ham United?
Well, the media is pointing the finger at Gianfranco Zola.
And the enthusiastic and the credulous unsupport their team making away fixtures preferable for the Hammers.
But the Porn Barons, having been outwitted on every level by the Billionaire Bookmaking Barber, must take their share of the blame.
But you need to go further back and examine Tevez and Mascherano, Curbishley, Joorabchian, the Icelandic Robber Bankers and, of course, last but not least, the decision #####################################################################

Why Are The Government Allowing The Premier League To Enable A Cover Up At Portsmouth? Or Whose Storrie Now?
Well, there is a simple answer to that one.
The brand is fucked.
Long live the brand.
Angelos Andronikou has form.
I used to work with Shami Ahmed, the founder of Joe Bloggs Clothing, and there must be a Real concern that the public purse is to suffer at the hands of more righteous creditors eg crooked owners and dodgy agents.
Meanwhile, Mrs Fran Storrie, wife of Whose-Storrie-Now? puts us all in the picture in her own inimitable style: "The only thing Peter is guilty of is trying to be a hero and saving that club. We've been living a nightmare but we'll get through it. Us Eastenders are made tough."
And corrupt, it would seem from where we stand.
And anyway, when the Krays appeared in Manchester, they were escorted back to the train and sent back from whence they came.
So not that tough.
"I've got shoulders as wide as Hulme Flyover,
Teeth as white as the white cliffs of Dover.
I've got 'don't mess with me' tattooed on me teeth.
I'm from Manchester.
And I'm hard" - Lemn Sissay.
Why Is It Really Really Funny To Us When John Colquhoun Has A Really Really Bad Week?
Tony Mowbray sacked as manager of Celtic after the clubs worst season for 43 years and their first defeat to St Mirren for 21 years and their heaviest defeat to St Mirren ever.
Colquhoun was behind the appointment and the disastrous transfers.
Capello hints that Theo Walcott is peripheral to the World Cup squad. Walcott so ineffective that even John Motson noticed it and Arsenal looked like a proper team only when the sprinter was substituted by a footballer.
Colquhoun, who claims through a smirk, that ###################################
#############################, is desperate for Calamity James to be back between the posts for England in time for the failure in South Africa.
The air-kick against Chelsea was his Paul Robinson moment.
Tsk!
And Callum Davenport finally left West Ham United after all that stabbing and all that racism and all that sibling strife.
And Fulham, where he is club agent, are knocked out of the FA Cup and then pasted by 'Umble 'Ull.
###############################################################################

Like really really funny...
For The Good Of The Club, Why Doesn't Stan Kroenke Just Take Over Now?
Because he is not primarily interested in the good of the club.
As the allegedly hyperintelligent American moved to within just 10 shares of having to launch a club takeover, he will now stall.
Once the Champions League campaign is as dead in the water as the Premier League one always was, Mr Kroenke will be able to hoover up all those shares much more cheaply.
Why Is Richard Scudamore Still In A Job? Why Is Sir Dave Richards Still In A Job?
Portsmouth, Newcastle, West Ham United (twice), Manchester United, Liverpool, Hull City, Shinawatra, Asian bookmakers taking over Birmingham, ##################
#####################################, Premier League clubs shouldering over 60% of the total European club debt, 80% of the clubs having their credit rating suspended, the lucrative brown envelope conveyor belt between ################################, the control of the majority of the referees by #############################, football being above the law with regard to HMRC, the ownership of player loyalties by agents, and by association, bookmakers, the repeated undermining of the FA, the proper authority on English football rather than the cuckoo in the nest that is the bookmaking entity, ScudamoreWorld.
Our Great Leader is feeling the pressure.
He has spoken.
"The idea that there is somehow this independent regulator with no links to the actual constituents that somehow thinks that this medicine is good for you is a hard one to swallow. What is the point of a totally independent board? To decide what on behalf of whom?"
Well, Fuck-Face, 'a totally independent board' is needed to stop you selling OUR game to ######################################################################
And, Fuck-Face, this board would decide on your guilt in the massive corruption that, once it breaks, will make Calciopoli look like a smidgen of nothingness.
But, Fuck-Face, we hear that Fatih Akyel's lawyer is looking for new clients.

What A State And The Fourth Estate #
They Rig Matches Don't They?
The ########### match on Sunday between ############################### was an agreed draw.
A fix.
So were a number of other matches at the weekend and not only in ######### - the Premier League, as usual, triumphed in the quantity of rigged events but the other leading European leagues were represented too.
But we select the ################# match, ######################################, but because of the sheer level of skullduggery involved in the public sphere.

Early Warning GmBH is supposed to be monitoring for events like this on behalf of the various governing bodies. Indeed, by teaming up with the likes of Betfair, these sleuths have been able to accurately finger instances of match fixing in a wide range of European countries who, shall we say, are not welcome at the top table.
When instances occur in the hallowed heights though, the response is always mute.
The ####################################### match was a prime example of illicit insider trading in a rigged sporting event.
The #################### bookies knew it.
The 'information' quickly filtered to other layers across the globe.
And Betfair's market-making shows that they certainly knew the rub of the green.
So why was it allowed?
Why no outspoken words at ############## or at UEFA?
Why should punters unaware of the scam lose their money on an event like this?
And that is the bottom line for all you boys and girls and Geoff Hoons out there.
As the season progresses, there will be numerous other agreed results in the top European leagues - there will certainly be more than a few markets very similar to the one that was abused in ############# on Sunday.
And how is the little person to know if the event is truly a rigged market or, rather, a doubly bluffed rigged market which entraps them in a cornered market of no escape.
Just like Greece and Goldman Sachs.
Weasel Burying His Diplock Gold
"Ian Watmore [the chief executive of the FA who yesterday resigned as a protest at Premier League psychopathies] is an insignificant civil servant and no loss to football" - Henry Winter at the Daily Telegraph.
"Henry Winter is an apologist for corruption at all levels in the game. Whenever a rogue requires a mouthpiece to protect what remains of their validity, step forward Mr Winter. His recent roster of shame has included Richard Scudamore, Peter Storrie and Michael Owen. Winter is an insignificant sychophantic lubricator of corruption and will be no loss to the game."

Doing A Little Deal Down The Moss #
Yesterday, Jonathan Moss, a bog-standard referee from the wrong side of the Pennines, gave a fallacious penalty (the infringement occurred outside the penalty area) that allowed West Bromwich Albion to defeat Blackpool by 3 goals to 2.
Blackpool manager, Ian Holloway, was furious about the decision.
And why is this of any concern to the likes of you?
Well, Mr Moss should never have been allowed to officiate on this match in the first place.
Below we list all of the occasions where Moss has refereed either West Brom or Blackpool during his five year Football League tenancy.
Scunthorpe 1 Blackpool 0
WBA 3 Luton 2
Norwich 1 WBA 2
Blackpool 3 Scunthorpe 1 - despite having Brandon sent off by Moss after 38 minutes.
Blackpool 0 Plymouth 0
WBA 4 Ipswich 0
Peterborough 0 WBA 3 - a penalty and sending off in favour of the Throstles.
Hull 2 Blackpool 2 - Sent off Kaspar Gorkss of Blackpool.
Blackpool 1 West Brom 3 - Gave West Brom their equalising penalty.
Burnley 2 Blackpool 0 - A penalty to seal the Hillbilly victory.
Blackpool 0 Watford 2
Blackpool 1 Nottingham Forest 1 - Ian Evatt sent off after 68 minutes.
Blackpool 2 Newcastle 1 - must be because it helped West Brom!
Scunthorpe 1 West Brom 3 - two sendings off and a penalty when the game was one-all sorted out this particular affair.
WBA 3 Blackpool 2 - gives Albion fake penalty for winning goal.
So, what are the scores on the doors?
West Bromwich Albion matches with Mr Moss blowing the whistle:
7 matches.
7 wins.
4 penalties in favour of West Brom and none against.
3 sendings off in favour of West Brom and none against.
Blackpool matches with Moss's sides:
10 matches.
2 wins and 5 defeats.
0 penalties in favour of Blackpool but two against.
0 sendings off in favour of Blackpool but three against.
Meanwhile, in the hyperreality, the Daily Telegraph tells us in headline: "No Racism In Referees' Decision Making".

The admission of crimes.
How exactly do the Football League reach the decision of who referees whom?
At least we are no longer the only ones asking such questions.
Arsène Wenger: "They [UEFA] have to be much more open how they rate their referees. Nobody knows really how they name their referees. Where is the ranking of the referees? I believe too much has gone on in the last thirty years."
Giancarlo Abete, president of the FIGC in Italy following the mugging of Fiorentina by the Bavarians: "The truth is errors can happen, but this is just too obvious to be ignored."
Alex Ferguson on the same 'match': "It was an incredible decision that winning goal... deary, deary me. I think maybe the lad's under pressure because of what happened last season [Ovrebo's channelling of Barcelona into the Champions League Final]."
Wenger, once again on the Porto 1st Leg: "In situations like that you are either incompetent or dishonest and I prefer to think he [Hansson] is incompetent."
Roberto Martinez: "Refereeing makes the Premier League a laughing stock."
And while we are feeling quizzical, quizzical, I want to get quizzical...
