The Mocking Muckers Fuck Over The Fuckers
Michel Foucault: “In the Panopticon, each person, depending on his place, is watched by all or certain of the others. You have an apparatus of total circulating mistrust, because there is no absolute point”
Systemic corruption forces football to exist in its own distorted Panopticon.
On Saturday March 9th 2019, nearly 16,000 Blackpool fans (the largest home attendance in 40 years) attended the post-Oyston celebration match against Southend United.
The fact that the Mighty Pool equalised via an own goal with the last touch of the match in the 96th minute only added to the sense of theatre.
Following a four year boycott of home games (and any other matches where proceeds might find their way into the grubby pockets of the rapist and the clown), the campaign by the Muckers Supporters Group (in particular) and, to a lesser extent, the Tangerine Knights and the Blackpool Supporters Trust appeared to have reclaimed control of the football club for the town of Blackpool.
We were mighty again...

We were mighty again...
... potentially.
This fan campaign trailed a strategy for all other clubs being abused by psychopathic owners e.g. Brighton & Hove Albion, Coventry City, Leyton Orient, Glasgow Rangers, Charlton Athletic, Brentford, Blackburn Rovers, Port Vale, Stoke City, Watford, Bolton Wanderers, Glasgow Celtic, Oldham Athletic, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, AFC Bournemouth, Newcastle United etc etc.

This is the new template of football warfare.
Fan versus The Fix.
We firmly believe that the only suitable strategies to defeat these rogue gangsters are based on non-violent direct action.
Psychopathic power only really fears direct action - the Suffragettes, the Civil Rights' movement, the Animal Liberation Front, Hunt Saboteurs, Frack Free Lancashire, WikiLeaks etc etc - sociopathy has to be taken on in a manner that directly targets its inappropriate power and its hidden agendas.
The abusers will never move an inch without their fear being engendered...
... but all sociopaths are fearful at heart.
And that is why the real heroes of Blackpool FC being rid of the Oystons are an alleged 'hooligan' group - the Muckers Suppoters Group.
The Oystons were outed by a collection of illegal, semi-legal and anarchist direct action supported by more middle-of-the-road conventional strategies...
... not the other way round.
The Muckers are an equivalent to the Football is Fixed network.
We release acquired materials made available to us, we undertake provocative data-driven journalism, we exploit any weaknesses in enemy tactics or defences, we employ Divine Skein and the Art of War, we strategise, we analyse, we improvise, think laterally, twist and turn at every juncture to address the mafia entities that have made our sport, our beautiful sport, a gambling medium for insider traders linked to global mafiosi.
We are left with an image of mafia destroying a sport for proprietary gain while hackers and street fighters are reclaiming it from those very psychopaths.
Power is abusive. Power will never give an inch unless you demand it with great assertion.
This means moving into the area of grey market activities (as the only way to address the black market is from the adjacency of the grey).
This means moving into the area of grey market activities (as the only way to address the black market is from the adjacency of the grey).
It is worth repeating that all psychopaths are incredibly fearful. That is their fatal flaw. They run scared. They are unable to react to real strength of purpose whether that emanates from WikiLeaks, the Courage Foundation, the Green Brigade, the Muckers Supporters Group or Football is Fixed.
Direct action, aggressive white hat hacking, verbal terrorism and a mockery of fake power - these are the routes to positive change in football.
So, under normal circumstances, the EFL would have imposed a 12 point deduction on Blackpool as a punishment for going into receivership in 2019.
Shaun Harvey (the immensely dubious former CEO of the Football League) was soon to retire and had bought a house in Lytham St Annes. While consuming in his new local gastro pub with his wife, the Muckers paid him a visit to explain why it would be a much better move from his perspective to forgo this 12 point punishment in the case of Blackpool as the fans were blameless.
The menacing Muckers delivered a message of malicious mockery.
Harvey exhibited cowardice.
This meant that Blackpool ended up fighting for a Play-Off place rather than against relegation.
Football is Fixed do not see how this huge result could have been achieved by the more conventional methods of the Blackpool Supporters Trust (BST).
Yet, in the Blackpool FC programme for the Southend United match, there was a full page advertorial for the BST (the matchball sponsor) and not once in their blurb do the BST see fit to mention the other groups who worked alongside them in this battle.
It is evidently unjust that Blackpool FC could have been further punished for the actions of the Odious Oystons.
But 5th Estate and direct action fan groups impose a reality on this fake hyperreality - Jean Baudrillard must have been giggling in his grave!

There are no robust rules nor regulations in football.
Everything is arbitrary.
Fake.
With a new board in place and new routes ahead, the club needed to proactively seek grey market behaviour and knowledge.
Football in England is systemically corrupted at Premier League and Football League levels and Blackpool should have prepared strategically for a near future of dealing with the criminalised pgMOB, the omnipresence of doping templates, insider trading and matchfixing, some rogue agents coercing the performances of their clients to suit their own betting agendas, other crooked agents utilising third party ownership and multiple intermediaries to bleed money from clubs on all transactions...
The key strategic template for Blackpool FC was to create a unified foundation.
This needed to involve the new club hierarchy, the BST, the Muckers and Tangerine Knights as well as the entire fanbase (including the 'Mushrooms'*) and businesses and media in the town.
Blackpool is one of the poorest boroughs in the country and the football club is a beacon of hope in an austerity town.
A united front with grey market inputs will always overcome the fragmented cartel of football corruption.
This corruption is illegitimate.
The criminals are fucked and they know they're fucked, but they rush towards the rapidly approaching precipice grabbing as much money as possible en route. For them, sustainable strategies are out of the window. It is every man for themselves in a chaotic disaster capitalism template. They share no loyalty to associated mafiosi. Their weakness is palpable.

Lower tier clubs exist in a world where the imperial powers of the 'elite' both abuse and scoff in a conspiratorial opera of oppression.
The view from the lower decks is always revealing though, as the Irish Times pointed out in reference to the Crown and the targeting of Prince Harry and Princess Meghan, mockery is a ubiquitous option: "Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who's really into clowns and has a house daubed in clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically, for the Irish, it's like having a neighbour who's really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown."
Unfortunately, highly inappropriate cartel entities took control of the Seasiders post-Oyston orchestrated by █████ █████. This undermined all the good work undertaken by fan groups.
Firstly, the club decided to appoint Robert Heys as the Commercial Director. Heys was formerly a managing director at Accrington Stanley until 2013 when he was banned for 21 months by the FA for 735 breaches of the betting regulations. 231 of these bets were on Accrington Stanley matches and on 37 games he traded against his own team.
How did Heys grovel his way back into the sport?
Surely there exist non-crooked money men in football?
Anyway, Heys was soon moved on to be replaced by another rogue insider from Barnsley FC.
Aptly, Heys is now into plastics.
Like that equivalent dodgy insider gambler, the former Billericay Town and Romford Town owner Glenn Tamplin, Heys has decided to disguise his roguery by 'finding' God. Mind you, shortly after being born again, Tamplin was placed under police investigation having allegedly made "gangster threats" to Billericay player Elliot Kebbie.
The Gods of some people move in very mysterious ways.
We are told that Kebbie is still in hiding.
Worse still, the Blackpool playing staff is now full of players represented by Wasserman / Key Sports, Stellar, Unique or 'invisible' intermediaries while the club has been brought into the Liverpool Cartel of teams as a pathetic act of spite by a wee mafia man while the manager is the former Liverpool Under-23 coach Neil Critchley (obviously represented by Wasserman / Key Sports). Moreover, the matches of the Seasiders are traded via exactly the same variety of proxy routes and to exactly the same 'variable oscillation template' as those utilised by the core members of the Liverpool Cartel.
Football is Fixed are no longer able to work directly with English clubs. This is primarily because all teams have something to hide from anti-corruption whistleblowers but also because of our arms' length networked 'association' with the █████ █████ that enables our fraud forensics and our ability to open betting markets in order to expose matchfixing etc.
This is grey market behaviour of questionable legality, apparently, but we are ever ready to test this out in a court of law as we continue to surf the zeitgeist of corruption.
Consequently, ever since our work at FC Bayern, we have always operated as a leech consultancy, attaching ourselves to third party entities linked to the club that employs us.
It is not about money to our network, it is about anti-corruption.
So when we were approached by █████ █████ from Manchester United in 2019, we mocked and walked away. We will only work on legitimate projects.

Less powerful football clubs need entities like Football is Fixed, the Green Brigade and the Muckers.
It is strategic flare, personal bravery and risk taking to a confident agenda that opens new opportunities and routes to footballing success. In our network, we all devote huge percentages of our time to altruistic improvements to integrity in sport and yet we are viewed (even by those on the same side as us) as being beyond the pale, just a little bit too dodgy.
Anyway.
The 'Mushrooms' supported Oyston's oligarchy for four years...
... and that is a whole different fucking level of dodgy!
In comparison, the Muckers undertake charity bike rides from the Eiffel Tower to the Blackpool Tower in aid of Lancashire MIND, StreetLife, The Next Chapter & Frontline Children.
They make 12 points for the club via physical assertion.
They faced down Oyston psychopathy face-to-face.
Oh, and they batter PNE!
I know who I'd rather have in my club.

“… in the same way that democracy needs anti-democracy to rejuvenate itself, the state needs the people’s resistance to rejuvenate itself” – Slavoj Zizek.
On August 30th 1975 when boyhood's fire was in my blood, I independently discovered a nova in the constellation Cygnus - V1500 Cygni (for that is its name) was first seen hours earlier by Minoru Honda in Kurashiki in Japan. V1500 Cygni was the second highest intrinsic brightness nova of the 20th century reaching magnitude 1.7. The nova is an AM Herculis binary system with the smaller red dwarf depositing a stream of material onto a white dwarf primary. V1500 Cygni was the first ever asynchronous polar to be discovered (i.e. the white dwarf's spin period is slightly different from the binary orbiting period).
Due to my observational log of the early phases of the nova's eruption, I was invited by the late Dr Tom Rackham of the Jodrell Bank Observatory to jointly analyse the results with Dr Mart de Groot, then Director of the Armagh Observatory in the North of Ireland.
Regrettably, Dr de Groot turned out to be a 7th Day Adventist disappointment so, apart from discussing mortality with his terminally ill wife on perambulations around the observatory's walled garden, I spent the remainder of my time wandering around the area meeting people.
The fluke entanglements of that visit still resonate today nearly half a century later - I had arrived in Armagh with my head in the clouds but I left with my feet firmly planted on the ground. Life strategies developed in the dim and distant past flare up repeatedly on our schedules of today - like a recurrent flaring nova or an inversion of a R Coronae Borealis-type variable star.
It should not come as a complete surprise that modelling RS Canum Venaticorum binary systems turns out to be remarkably similar analytically to modelling closed corruption structures e.g. global football.
You should have seen Tom's toolkit! Pliers, a wrench, an array of lockpick tools and jiggler keys, a batch of USBs to allow systems replication in enemy territory, USB keyloggers and USB extension leads, multi-band WiFi dongles for frame injection, a camera to photograph evidence, custom copiers for access card stealing and cloning, a rubberducky for fast typing of content, fake access card and holder, changes of clothing for accessing different areas. Proper gear like a weaponised PocketCHIP / Raspberry Pi / Beaglebone with LCD display for WiFi hacking using rogue access points and real-time network manipulation, data mining and operational tools. He installed rogue network implants for later remote access from distance. He was covered from the outside by outlooks and used bluetooth earpieces for real-time knowledge of arrivals and departures. It was paramilitary. It is, of course, life and death.
Brian Eno: “Question the heroic approach… change nothing and continue with immaculate consistency.".
Our planning is always an immaculate conception.
So, when it became known that protection was in order against clannish mafia, we waited until a target moved into their new metal box. █████ had ransacked systems in █████ before the target even knew what computer security was. But █████ required access to the metal box before it was turned into a Faraday Cage.
█████ were your workmen. █████ had unfettered access everywhere. Sloppy sociopathy.
Our network undertake System 0, I and II thinking, critical thinking, systems thinking.
We have worked so closely together for so long we feel connected in consciousness, like a quantum entanglement of multiversal construct.
One might say we operate in parallel to those who detected the Meltdown / Spectre vulnerability - four different research groups dotted around the world independently discovered an issue at virtually the same time after nobody had spotted it for nearly a quarter of a century. And skilled traders will all tell you that they 'feel' future market incidences ahead of occurrence.

Corruption (like Cosmology) leaves evidential patterns.
Or one might say we resemble the Portuguese Man O' War, cellular nomads hacking away on the high seas.
Football is Fixed replicate the Physalia Physalis, the Floating Terror.
We are hydrozoans found exclusively in the football industry.
We are the only species in the genus Physalia and, in turn, the only genus in the network Physaliidae.
We have numerous venomous network nematocysts which deliver a painful sting powerful enough to kill corruption.
Although we superficially resemble a network, nowadays we are, in fact, a siphonophore.
Like all siphonophores, we are a cellular organism made up of many smaller units. All of these units share the same aims and are militarily identical, but fulfill specialised functions e.g. artificial intelligence, and together allow the web to operate as a single organism.
By coincidence of the scheduling fairy, hacking evolved in the networked hive mind world at the late capitalism / postcapitalism threshold. Hackers are sacrificial utopian nihilists, aka Giorgio Agamben’s “homo sacer” – ones who can be killed with impunity since their lives are no longer of consequence in the eyes of the state.
Dutch hacker PW describes hackers as “internet farmers” deliberately comparing hacking with agriculture – food for the masses – “the political effects of hackers will emerge diffusely over an extended period of time, products of the type of technologies they work to build”.
Football is Fixed thrive on space and time. We have archived some data and information for over two decades prior to publication as we choose to get even without getting mad - for we adore revenge served cold in a schadenfreude sauce. On other occasions, we leak current mafia activities in real-time, sometimes literally so – the acquired information travels from corrupted source to social media instantaneously. Sometimes, just for the craic, the IWSH have put out fake information within true leaks for strategic reasons that will be / are played out over time – they deliberately provide opponents with nuggets of advantage (how to disguise particular corruptions, how to meta-analyse, provision of pseudo information on where the hackers reside etc.) knowing that all the plates will always continue to be spun to our advantage.
We entice enemies into constricted ground.
We like it like that.
Clifford Stoll: “It doesn’t take brilliance or wizardry to break into a computer. Just patience.”
Hacker ‘Darren’: “Why do you care so much that someone’s frolicking in your system? That could have been you, in your distant youth. Where’s your appreciation of creative anarchy?”
“Seek Truth” typed Charlotte Fakes.
But truth is hard.
The IWSH crack systems and open markets with fearless adversarial hacking. The IWSH, alongside many other political hacking networks e.g. Xnet, target the New World Order of white fundamentalist, neo-liberal, protectionist, discriminating control – at the root of which is the control of truth. “We break into things, destroy things, move things around, take things out and put them in other locations – political stuff.”
These hackers kill fascists.
The very first IWSH hacks apparently targeted the mobile phones of individuals involved in rigging markets, insider trading, matchfixing and mafia activities that undermined the integrity of football.
Karsten Nohl (chief scientist at Security Research Labs): “Any network can tell any other network ‘your subscriber’s here and now’, and until your phone says otherwise, every call and text is diverted to this other network. If there’s an attacker, they get all your text messages. It’s completely trust-based… It’s so simple it’s almost embarrassing to call it a hack.”
Bridges Build Burn – Burners Build Bridges.
Have you ever seen a goshawk turn ninety degrees at sixty kilometres per hour?
Jean Baudrillard: “If being a nihilist is carrying, to the unbearable limit of hegemonic systems, this radical trait of derision and violence, this challenge that the system is summoned to answer through its own death, then I am a nihilist and terrorist in theory as others are with their weapons. Theoretical violence and not truth is the only course left open to us… The system itself is also nihilistic, in the sense that it has the power to pour everything, including what denies it into indifference.”
Or.
George Orwell: “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
To tell the truth, or not to tell the truth: that is the question.
Hacked information is fresh, straight from the fridge, first tier inside information – it is, in this sense, true information, a true snapshot of the hyperreality. But the hyperreality demands an emphatic dichotomy for a connoisseur of nuances. Real-time confrontation against psychopathic corruption merely energises the crime, speaking truth to power (a power that is well aware of such ‘truth’) optimises the strategies of corruption and enhances the future performances thereof.
It is an own goal. It is surely more fruitful to make mockery of power than to shine a light on its processes.
But black hat hacking will always defeat abusive authorities as it is based on creativity and need and is shared on an open source basis to undermine corrupt infrastructures that attempt to be hidden behind a veil of secrecy – the black hats are less constrained, more refined, less blinkered, more driven to a hidden agenda to be activated at a time of maximum impact. Psychopathic systems hate being in the dark as much as they hate being in the glare of publicity.
So we do both these things. Over and over and over again.
We've learned to never perform card tricks for those people we play poker with.
If it’s worth doing, do it for yourself, not to please aliens!
Our opponents have infrastructural strength but structural weakness.
█████ █████ █████ intelligence tunnelled together via sealed rooms under █████, we are looking at heads of █████ █████, ex-directors of █████, all with contracts in place with the █████ and the █████. A number of █████ chiefs and their █████, government senior ministers and blue chip chairmen and chief executives elevated to peerage. Throw in any old Whitehall coked up crook who wants to make a buck on the side plus an array of market makers, captured media, sovereign wealth funds, dysfunctional secondary states plus █████ mafiosi and insiders on the field of play, and that’s a pretty strong hand. But not strong enough.
Nothing is secure anymore.
Our █████ strategies, our market analyses, our networks of contacts in the sport, our shared intuition - these are the processes used to detect fixed matches that are known on the square but are invisible to Sportradar and all of the other pseudo-entities allegedly monitoring the markets on behalf of football.
We feel the corruption. We're odd.
We have Oppositional Defiance Disorder.
The Dark Tangent: “I’m in con mode now. It’s a sort of mental and physical zone I enter and never sure when it will happen, but I know the moment it does.”
Anonymous hacker: “You have to, like, have an innate understanding that technology is arbitrary, it’s an arbitrary mechanism that does something that’s unnatural and therefore can be circumvented, in all likelihood.”
It is critical to remain crafty and nimble. Take communications, secure communications. The IWSH apparently take the view that, even when secure communication linkages exist, the timescale of their secure performativity is too limited. Meanwhile the Football Is Fixed network used Tor for one window and Signal for a couple more but we eschew stabilisation. We have to remain one step ahead.
Of you.
Because Rhythm is a Dancer.
Because Rhythm is a Dancer.
On the defensive side, Ed Snowden and hacker Bunny Huang have designed the Introspection Engine – an anti-surveillance device – but as the Infosec Institute demonstrated with ‘Law Enforcement and the Dark Web’, these are never ending battles, wars in encryption and security that are a waste of time and money, absolute security being akin to always correctly judging the turning points in financial markets.
Clifford Stoll: “Sounds like Janus, the two-faced god. One side tries to crack ciphers of foreign countries; the other side tries to make unbreakable codes. Always pulling in opposite directions… You can make secure computers and networks. Systems that outsiders can’t easily break into. But they’re usually difficult to use and unfriendly. And slow. And expensive… [with] crypotographic encoding and elaborate authentification schemes.”
Opt out. Become proprietary. Achieve. Silence.
Fool the intercept operations with cul-de-sacs, blind bends, dark swamps, foggy outlooks, deep water.
Indymedia was formed in 1999 – “a tightknit network of revolutionary hackers” – and created an alternative internet relying on a sizable array of independently run ISPs based upon consensus-based anarchist principles.
The IWSH are very much like and very much like Indymedia, so we are informed.
But, being swamp children, we are exceedingly careful with whom we talk.
Mike Ehrmantraut: “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised I have to tell you this. But it’s probably a bad idea that you willingly talk to the police, being a criminal and all.”
Football is Fixed Tweet on September 29th 2016 in the light of the Case of the Mistaken Fat Man: “Blaming entrapment, whistleblowers and hackers for revealing truth about corruption is crazy. Failure lies with institutions and government.”
Edward Snowden: “I am more than willing to risk imprisonment than the curtailment of my intellectual freedom.”
The mainstream media have been in the know on the corruption underpinning British football pretty much since the onset of the Premier League. They elect to withhold this truth, this whole truth and nothing but this truth. They do no more than provide advertorial narratives on an entertainment spectacle – it is an unleashing of nonsense.
Just like WWE.
An eleven-a-side tag-match with a ball.
Football is Dead and Football is Fixed is denied the potential for sharing the truth of this demise because we don’t want to share the whole truth, we’re not allowed to tell the whole truth and, even if these provisos did not exist, the truth would cease to be the truth as soon as we proclaimed it as such.
Corrupt markets are not remotely efficient - they can be made into anything, anytime.
Post-truth is hyperreal.
Post-truth is a coda to post-mainstream media fake and a preface to fascistic fake.
Fake news. Fake football. Fake markets.
On our ‘open’ communications we lie all the time but not in all content – we have our own cosmic microwave background to crypto-reference our truth, our internal essence of truth: not for prying eyes.
We showed how we are down in the ghetto with the rest of them – using sousveillance, we copwatch in the gutter monitoring the stars. Nobody can pierce our electronic veil. The meek might inherit the earth but what about the hacking rights? The lesson is, if you’re going to be an anti-corruption whistleblower, do your homework. No half measures. Ultimate OPSEC. Ultimate INFOSEC.
As a result, we give you the mildly unhinged poetry of a heroic technology.
Magic things happen in our Transnistrian maquiladoras.
That’s all.
Our conversations and silences are with pouvoir, our competitive advantages are in savoir.
Football is Fixed, despite embracing danger, are selective in choice of targets. We have boundaries dependent on our current mix of strategies.
For example.
Chaos Computer Club: “Never penetrate a military computer. The security people on the other side will be playing a game with you – almost like chess. Remember that they’ve practiced this game for centuries.”
Such targets aside, rattle away at your bin.
La resistenza continua.
Mike Ehrmantraut: "I've got people waiting for me. They don't know what I do, and they never will. They're protected. But I do what I do so they can have a better life. And if I live or if I die, it really doesn't make a difference to me, as long as they have what they need. So when it is my time to go, I will go knowing I did everything I could for them"

How Third Party Ownership Of Players Evolved Into Third Party Ownership Of Agents By Other Agents And Third Party Ownership Of Clubs By Agents, With Cartelised Behaviours Creating Insider Trading And Matchfixing, Resulting In Gambling Losses And Sometimes Suicide For The Leisure Bettors While The Insiders And Bookmakers Profit From Their Systemic Corruption By Being In Receipt Of Some Crumbs Of Comfort That Fall From The Dark Pool Poker Tables Where All Of Our Football Futures Are Fixed
Archie Shepp: "Institutions continue to abuse power"
In the year ending March 29th 2021, Denise Coates, the chief executive of Bet 365, was paid £469 million in salary and dividends making her the highest paid boss of any UK company. Bet 365 are rogue on so many levels that we would need a book just for this one company but, in brief, Bet 365 manipulates prices, provide fake data and surreptitiously attack computers. Oh! And they allow insider trading that facilitates matchfixing.
Each year, it is estimated that 600 people commit suicide in Britain due to gambling addictions and / or debts. As Bet 365 are estimated to have a 25% share of the UK betting market, 150 of these deaths can be 'attributed' to the Stoke-on-Trent / Manchester / Malta / Bulgaria / Australia / Gibraltar-based horror show.
Ms Coates consequently earns £3.13 million per suicide.
Nice lady.
Inevitably, Coates has established charities for her reputation management and proprietary tax benefits and, being Britain, she was rewarded for even contemplating such a move by being presented with a CBE (Crook to the British Empire) in January 2012 fully seven months before the Bet 365 Foundation was established (since 2016, re-named the Denise Coates Foundation).
Mike Dixon of Addaction: "It cannot be right that the CEO of a betting company is paid 22 times more than the whole industry 'donates' to treatment." And Bet 365 are not alone in their psychopathy - some UK bookies, in order to be listed as supporting gambling addicts, only donate £1 per annum to problem gambler charities.
And virtually no bookmakers allow winning accounts.
How is this sector viewed as legitimate?
Why are bookmakers allowed to control football?
Players and fans are the two key ingredients that make football the beautiful game.
The skill and the atmosphere, the suspense and the uncertainties, sometimes even a randomness of poetic and physical forms.
Football will always be this but there are some parts of the game that now exist in a parallel universe to the game / play outlined above.
This is the football world of agents and third party ownership, rigged matches controlled by cartels and consortia from various strata of the global underworld, doping without any valid testing regime, criminalised players, referees owned by bookmakers, clubs, organisations, organised crime groups, mafia...

The Chinese even have expressions for the types of corruption that we witness weekly in the EPL - "Hei Shao" means 'Black Whistle' (and the EPL has more black whistles than the Burkina Faso National Whistling Orchestra), while "Da Giaqiu" represents 'playing fakeball'!
There are numerous other expressions e.g. for matches controlled by two separate firms of agents that might effectively control up to half of the players on the pitch, for agreed draws and the annual sharing of points etc etc.
The beautiful game is infested with leeches sucking it dry of any nuances of integrity or sport: postmodern football is becoming a parody of the artform.

From the perspective of you the reader / fan, the key point is surely this - it completely destroys the game.
One thing is certain in postmodern football - if a corrupt loophole exists or if one may be carefully constructed (even if it requires duopolistic combinations), there are those out there only too willing to exploit the opportunities.

Once upon a time there was a young man with ambition in his eyes who decided to blackmail a Portuguese football agency over alleged third party ownership of players. This young man was subsequently approached by a very small man with mafia tendencies and coerced into being the vehicle for the release of stolen commercial information and documents to the marked advantage of a fragmented cartel of agents based in the UK and the marked disadvantage of the Iberian operation.
This became known as the fake spectacle that is 'Football Leaks'.
When the Football is Fixed network began to make assertions about inappropriate linkages between certain agents in October 2013, the cartel devised a strategy to establish secondary and tertiary levels of sub-agents overseen by the parent outfits. Players moved between agents and sub-agents, disguising ownership, and third party ownership became the norm (despite its illegality). This multiple (hidden / disguised) ownership of players was made more opaque by the utilisation of a pyramid of linked sub-agents.
By the time these 'agents-third-party-owning-other-agents' structures are cartelised up to the full network, you can have matches in the Premier League and the Championship where well over 50% of the players on the field of play are represented by this agent / sub-agent web.This produces extensive opportunities for matchfixing and associated insider trading as excessive market control is leveraged through the global betting markets.
Club Deportivo Maldonado are a Uruguayan Primera Division club used by agents and third party owners to launder players into the European game often without such players ever appearing for the Maldonado side. When Bloomberg investigated the hidden ownership of the club in 2014 they discovered English racehorse owner Malcolm Caine and London lawyer Graham Shear were in control. Argentinian newspaper 'La Nacion' claims that Jonathan Barnett (co-owner of the Stellar agency) is also linked to Maldonado. Caine co-owns several horses with Barnett.
Third party ownership of players by agents is a problem because, if you don't know which investment vehicles own the player, coercion / persuasion and matchfixing are liable to seep into the game.
Third party ownership of sub-agents by agents makes detection of these illicit structures much more problematical, at least initially.
The cartelised networking of this process between a web of agents further opaques this reality.
But it is the third party takeover of clubs by agents where the ultimate matchfixing templates reside.

█████ Premier League clubs and █████ from the Championship have significant integrity issues relating to agents either a) in hidden control of the club, b) in partial control of club, or c) having significant influence over transfers and team selection and performance.
As the Maldonado narrative demonstrates, agents should not control football clubs.
These teams whose strategies are correlated with the agendas of the agents are able to engage in insider trading and matchfixing either using the clients of the controlling agent or tapping into a network of agents.
This infrastructure produces systemic matchfixing and impacts upon trophies won and lost, relegations and promotions gained or missed out upon. It creates regime change of Gestifute-linked managers via client underperformance, the cornering of global markets via a proprietary mafia corruption template and the ruination of football as a sport.

For example, of the 15 highest earners in the UK in season 21/22, Manchester United employ seven - mafia entities ensuring that the vastly overrated duo of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane are, respectively, the fourth and fifth best paid players in the Premier League.
This certainly benefits the agents.
But how does it benefit Manchester United?
Third party ownership of players, sub-agents and clubs also leads to tax evasion as we are dealing with shell operations where the real identity of owners and investors is opaque.
When Tax Justice Network released their list of the 10 leading global tax havens in 2021, in first place was British Virgin Islands, in second, the Cayman Islands, third, Bermuda (all British overseas territories) while Jersey (a British crown dependency) was in 8th place. It should be mentioned at this point that the other six territories at the top of the charts are also locations where football corruption is monetised - Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands / Curacao, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Hong Kong (a former colony of the British Empire).
The financial rewards from systemic insider trading and matchfixing are entirely non-taxable and merely need laundering via the required territory (a common scheme sees illicit earnings used as building blocks on route to becoming a property magnate a la Gecko).

All roads lead to matchfixing and an increase in the games where 'unusual' outcomes result with a corresponding inflation in the gambling losses of leisure punters who are patsies to the mafia operations in this systemic corruption...
... and some of these gamblers go into debt and some of them take their own lives.
There are a wide array of victims of systemic matchfixing in UK football.
At least we can console ourselves in the knowledge that Denise Coates isn't one of them.

Old English Verse Circa 1764
They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common,
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own,
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.
