Can't see anything coming of this unless others come forward and I doubt that will happen.

Didn't Le-Tissier admit to this sort of thing in his biography?

Matt Le Tissier lifted the lid on his part in an attempted betting scam 17 years ago in his autobiography Taking Le Tiss.
The former Southampton and England midfielder revealed he colluded with friends who placed a spread bet on the time of the first throw-in during a game against Wimbledon in 1995.
He planned to kick the ball into touch from the kick-off to beat bookies who were predicting it would take nearly a minute for it to go out
Le Tissier would have landed around £10,000 but team-mate Neil Shipperley, unaware of the bet, stopped the ball going out.
He admitted: “Spread betting had just started to be popular.
'I’d never have done anything that might have affected the outcome of the match, but I couldn’t see a problem with making a few quid on the first throw-in.
'The problem was Neil Shipperley knew nothing about the bet and headed it back. I charged around desperately trying to kick the ball out. We stood to lose a lot if it went much longer than 75 seconds.
'I had visions of guys coming to kneecap me. Eventually we got the ball out on 70 seconds. The neutral time meant we had neither won nor lost. I have never tried spread betting since.'

As I said earlier, nothing will come of it. At the moment there is one person who has said something controversial to sell his book. Unless others start admitting to stuff like this, that's about as far as it will go.

Thats the thing, he isnt writing a book, he has recently come out of rehab ( I think ) for alcohol and drug addiction, and it appears he was trying to warn young footballers about the dangers of the game. Doesnt appear to be any self gain ( unless of course it leads to a book )

Ignore everything which comes out of Claus' mouth these days. Sadly, since injury forced him into retirement (although age wasn't far away from pushing him into it any way), he has fallen badly off the rails.

Alcohol and cocaine addiction have been the most publicised, but he's also been arrested for attacking a woman (his "business partner") and been found running round wielding a samuri sword. And no doubt there's much more which we don't know about.

Real shame, especially because the guy was a right legend with us when he played. But yeah, don't trust a word he says these days.

Football fixing?

Postby mikesiva » Mon Dec 09, 2013 2:08 pm

"Ex-Premiership footballer DJ Campbell is among six people questioned by police in connection with allegations of fixing in football matches. Mr Campbell, who plays for Championship side Blackburn, was one of six people arrested on Sunday. The arrests came after ex-Portsmouth player Sam Sodje told a reporter he could arrange for players to be booked or sent off in exchange for cash. The National Crime Agency said five people were bailed later on Sunday. Officers were continuing to question a sixth individual, who was arrested on Sunday evening, the NCA added."

I fear this is just the tip of the iceberg, I imagine spot fixing in football is rife and across the entire football pyramid, as there are so many markets to bet on and outcomes without overly affecting the match result itself.

I fear this could lead to dark days for Football. We already know this happens in italy etc..and it could potentially be going on all round the world.

Put simply, it doesnt make any sense for people to spend money on high profile matches.

Fixing a red card in Southampton v Man United would cost a fortune, yet the bookie would probably give the same odds on Solihull v Longchester Car COmpany United in the Rymans East Midlands Division 19..

agreed.

plus harder, surely, to find a prem player interested in risking his career for 70K. Far easier in the lower leagues, and less scrutiny too. Same rewards, less risk.
