Some of us GUFC fans thought the same about the cup game in Terryland...........then again Dave Mckeon is just a tosser!
Pardon me if Im being a little cynical but I have been talking to a number of people over the past few weeks who reckon that the UEFA Cup away leg match against Carmarthen and the hammering away to Finn Harps in the league were both subject to match fixing.
At the start I thought that this was all just pure fabrication but I have been talking to at least 10 people, some of whom who are very close to the clubs board, who reckon that there was something very sinister about these games.
If its true, it would explain a lot....

There must have been very little money down on the results of these games so I would think the likelyhood of anything untoward going on to be very slim .
I heard that it was private betting, possibly between both clubs, not betting done in the bookies...
just saying what I heard from different people

I have to say that this was my initial reaction to the Carmarthen result, because that result was truly astonishing, particulalry in view of the 2-0 first leg score, but i didnt want to put forward the suggestion.
Thats quite an interesting rumour. but what would be the implications for both clubs if its true.... expulsion from Europe (probably not a bad thing in our case) or the league, or a massive fine. For our sakes, it hope its just that, heads will roll if theres any truth in it.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Just to get things straight, Im not suggesting for one second that there was any negligence on any of the forementioned clubs' parts, Im just putting forward a few things that I have heard from different people.
Perhaps its just a rumour started by fans who are still extremely disgruntled about the Welsh debacle, however from the things that have come out recently such as diggers supposed interference in players contracts etc., it wouldnt surprise me for a second if it was true

I did hear this rumour about the finn harps game from quite a few people also. Whether there is any truth in it? Well they're not going to admit it to us.Originally Posted by RockofGibraltar
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
Its a simple rumour to pass the blame and take focus away from certain people. Its ridiculos, a new low to even suggest it
If god wanted us to play football in the clouds he would have put grass up there!
Its hard to know though. I mean all these things are coming out now and it seems to be people that are "in the know" that are mentioning it too.Originally Posted by Tallanted

carmarthen result aside,do u not think that it was even a little bit suspicious that we lost 5-0 to the team that was rooted to the premier division for most of if not all of the season, maybe i am being cynical but there seems to be something a bit more sinister to it imoOriginally Posted by Tallanted

I'd say Alan Matthews is a supprter of that rumour anyway, imo Town fans deserve a bit more than that. I'd be gutted to be honest.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
as soc said on ccfc if longord were to throw a match they would probably miss

Have to say that I also heard that both those matches were fixed but I find it hard to believe. You never know though

I suppose at least then, its something you'd have thought of yourself but it gets boring and quite sad to see that you feel the need to repeat your rubbish over and over and over again exile!Originally Posted by exile

The only thing it is is a good cover to hide the fact how bad our tactics were and how bad we played, have a listen to whats been said its out of hand, like half the tripe that has been posted on this message board in the last couple of months. You wouldn't get as much crap on a soap opera. It sicken's me to be honest, where have all the Town Fans passion gone?

Listen mate, I have more passion for the club than you ever will have so dont give me that, Im simply stating a few things which I have heard recently, Im not saying they're true.Originally Posted by Tallanted
