Didn't someone say on here at one stage that it looked like they were trying to throw one of the Sligo games and scored almost by accident?.

Yeah, it was definitely mentioned by a few at the time and did seem plausible.

Probably because they won so need for an investigation if all the bets were on them to lose!.

Surely it should be investigated too, the referee gave two penalties in the space of a few minutes, and Sligo scored an own goal so I think it should definitely be investigated.

So like all gamblers they were in a hole after the first round went against them so they had to go in even bigger in the second round.

Brilliant! Sligo played the Mr Bean role immaculately.

What sort of sanctions could be imposed on Vllaznia if they are found guilty of this?

refund the fiver paid in

It would appear some don't bother to look before posting.

I think Dundalkjames started the proliferation in numbers because he appears to have cloned himself for every club in the league. We have a Longfordjames and Galwayjames. If a Sportingjames comes along then I know we have a problem.

Sorry for going off topic.Just had to say that. If indeed the game at the Showgrounds was investigated along with the other games I assume it makes no difference to Sligo Rovers, who in a sense could have been involved in a thrown game, and the punishment goes to the Albanian side only. In any case I imagine a European ban and demotion would be likely for them?
