Quoteyrs ago in late 00s/early 10s there was a sting similar to this in the first division strangely enough including us. also Collie James in 2012 got caught in betting and got sacked by us over it. Remember it?Originally Posted by sbgawa
Really sad to see a club with such a long history end up like this. Interesting to see how Fran Gavin went to Athlone in March to give an "an Integrity Workshop on the prevention of match-fixing and betting, in his role as FAI Integrity Officer".

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

FAI have asked the club to send it on as well
I hope they don't "lose" it.

What happens if they can't prove any involvement from anyone officially involved with the club? There's every chance that any of the players that are involved will be keeping their mouths shut for several reasons.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Is this keeper a guy who travels round clubs at the owner's behest, conceding goals to help betting?One, the club’s Latvian goalkeeper, Igors Labuts, has, it is revealed, previously been involved in games that were “escalated” (scrutinised) by Uefa on 17 occasions.
Never knew Labuts played for Sporting Fingal back in the day. 17 different games is ridiculous but at the same time if he hasn't been banned to date he must be capable of covering his tracks. He and the others mentioned will probably move on somewhere else now and do the same again after a while. The "investor" has probably made a lot more than he ever put in at this stage.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
So if the investigation dosen't start till Monday I'm guessing the goalkeeper will be leaving the country over the weekend. Family emergency or some similar reason.
Also i'm about to do my predictions for the week anyone know how many Athlone are down to concede this week?
Two further Athlone games under investigation now according to the FAI.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
They did concede a very soft goal in the first minute in the Bowl; I wonder is that one of the games?
Remember commenting here at the time that the keeper simultaneously looked crap and was man of the match in the same game.
But then easier to see mirages of stuff like this if you know it's around somewhere.
I've seen the Athlone fans talking about that game and a pre season game against Bohs I think.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
A good lot of Shels fans who were at their 4-1 win over Athlone were convinced certain Athlone players were throwing the match during the 2nd half, it was a case you had to be at it and see the whole of it to understand the strange play of some of the Athlone players. Goals to the eye all look like standard bad defending/goalkeeping but in hindsight etc

The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Can't get over how investigation only starts on Monday, the FAI must be the most naive or most deliberate investigators to think that all the phone, messaging and email records haven't been long deleted.
Good to see Athlone's starting XI almost intact tonight including super-keeper. I really thought over the past 10 years this league couldn't have got any lower but feck me Delaney and Gavin have it up another notch with this latest farce

I'm very disappointed at the lack of betting puns on this thread. Somebody better fix it!
You have to be very skeptical about these kind of stories, any south east Asian bookie that would have excess of three figures across his counter concerning a result in minor league, in an obscure country, a few time zones away won't be a bookie for long, Spoilsports wouldn't take a bullseye of you on the outcome first division game.
Seems like the FAI were caught napping while this was going down.
No surprise there then.
That's what happens when you have no interest in the League.
