    Clifford was due to serve a suspension in the Harps game. The FAI will probably hold that now until his first game back!!

    The FAI can be underhanded but come on - 'footage that may have been altered and modified'. This has to be footage from another league as there is no suh thing as footage of a 1st Division game....

    CAS has cleared Labuts of all wrong-doing: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2020...-match-fixing/

    I can only presume legal action will now be taken against the FAI.

    Edit: CAS have said there is “no sufficient proof to suggest that he was deliberately inadequate in order to influence the match in a certain way.” The FAI has been ordered to pay a contribution to Labuts' legal fees of 3'000 francs, or around 2'800 euro.

    I didn't think CAS was the court that Man City were in?
    What's worse? Being found guilty of match-fixing? Or being found to be so bad that it looks like you're match-fixing?

    I assume the other Athlone town player that didnt show for the hearing was the person totally to blame for this mess?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Great read. Forgot that he played for Athlone Town when we met in FAI Quarter final in 1998 replay in Mullogher which I was at. Forgot he was at Galway too.

    Seems there may be another incident. Any ideas what game might be concerned? Do I recall something about a game earlier in the season being flagged for irregular betting patterns? https://www.the42.ie/league-of-irela...67137-May2022/

    I think these were the two most recent that were flagged. LOI First division is primed to be targetted for match fixing, as the wages are low, not a lot of attention, and its a national league (so foreigners can bet more easy). Add to that, there is number of young lads in Ireland (and you can assume it overlaps with some LOI Footballers) fall into heavy gambling habits (or maybe cocaine use/devt) and can preyed upon by more serious criminal elements.

    (On the flipside, how many players do you have to bribe to change a result? Considering there are normally 28 players involved in a game...... Unless its a Goalkeeper .... or Referee)

    The damages that Match Fixing does to a league is insurmountable, and a real league killer. The Italian league never recovered from their scandal in 2006, going from the strongest to the 4th, and has been on the decline since, and curroption in Eastern Europe really kills their leagues.

    You really hope no results were affected by this.

    Edit: The links above, and the arrests, suggest maybe it was Limerick FC involved.

    Might be worth a new thread (or a re-naming of this one) since this is beyond Athlone.

    With arrests reported in Limerick, you have to assume the incidents mentioned regards Limerick FC are connected.

    If the below games didn’t involve match fixing I would be absolutely shocked:

    I was given 5 or 6 names earlier. I can't verify it but I'd just say the speculation above seems accurate to me. One relatively big name in there too.

    All Limerick? Or did you hear other teams involved?

    It would suit the league the most if it was just Limerick FC invilved, considering the are now defunct.

    Also, this clip is going around twitter. Looks suspicous (even more than just bad play) from Cork in 2017, https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxM5q_vTq...ltHUCcbB7j_Wpc (Its blurry, but I think the same player who makes the mistake in this clip was with Limerick in the 2019 season).
    Edit- if this is being too speculative, you can remove this comment.
