What An Incredible Fluke XIX!

In February we prevented a fixed match between West Brom and Swansea by exposing the links between bookmakers, the referee and the West Brom club agent, John Colquhoun (see - http://footballisfixed.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/never-mind-bollocks-heres-next-fiddles.html).

In the light of the West Brom/Stoke fix the previous month, we thought that the insiders were pushing their fortunes (see - http://footballisfixed.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/more-reasons-to-shop-sorensen.html).

Also in February, we exposed the rampant biases in the refereeing of Peter Walton in favour of Manchester United and against Manchester City, particularly in the period from when Thaksin Shinawatra took over City - 22 matches with no City wins and no United defeats (see - http://footballisfixed.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/peter-walton-is-red-bastard.html).

Well, we've achieved our aim once again.
Walton has only refereed one EPL match since he last mugged Man City at Everton in January.

And the rumour going around is that the very fixed match between Everton and, guess who, West Brom this afternoon will be Grandad Walton's swansong in the Premier League.
Our contact tells us that Walton selected the Everton/West Brom game himself for his final appearance (Walton and Colquhoun go back a long way).

Is it within the EPL rules that referees might, on occasion, select the games that they wish to officiate?

Still...
... one rogue referee and three rogue West Brom insider betting events in the League of Integrity - the EPL.

What a weird fluke!
