FAI move to stamp out dodgy betting patterns

If true this is lifetime ban stuff for those involved, as it cuts right into the heart of the integrity of the game.

Given the FAI can't seem to organise a Cup Final, I'd be very surprised if they can shed much light on this.

Are bookies allowed divulge details of accounts/individual bets?

Unless they have a prior agreement with FAI, I would think it would require a Production Order from the guards.

I think people on this thread are getting carried away (not you specifically ORA)

The sligo thing was a number of enforced changes and Breay fighting for their lives.

probably.. but everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, otherwise how would that ****** who wrote the da vinci code have sold a zillion copies of his book despite it being written in the style of a foundation english junior cert essay?

I believe you are missing the point Dodge, the one Mr A and others are trying to subtly make without making unfounded accusations.

Nobody is crying for the poor bookies, however if, IF, IF players, management or backroom from a team heavily back against themselves and make a killing when they subsequently lose then it is a very serious issue indeed. Its all the more suspicious when it happens when, as Ceirtlis pointed out, the odds were far from "tempting" even if you did suspect an upset or a weakened team line up for one team or other.
