Andrew 4857 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Uefa will bring match-fixing charges against a European club within days, European football's governing body said on Wednesday. Ten preliminary matches from the current Uefa Cup season and 15 from last season had been under review for irregular betting patterns. "There are a number of cases we have been looking at," said Uefa general secretary David Taylor. "Within the next couple of days we'll be issuing charges against one club." Uefa will launch a gambling investigating unit next season featuring experts who will review suspected irregularities in matches from European competitions. "Uefa is setting up this betting fraud detection system across Europe to include 27,000 matches in the first and second division in each national association," Taylor said at the Uefa congress. "Only a few matches cause us problems but we are determined to root out this problem." Uefa president Michel Platini added: "There is a grave danger in the world of football and that is match-fixing. "The match-fixing is the greatest problem. If you know who is winning, there is no reason to play anymore. Buying players and referees is what worries me." Meanwhile, Geoff Thompson, the former Football Association chairman, has been re-elected as a Uefa vice-president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 UEFA have charged FYR Macedonian club FK Pobeda for "manipulating the outcome of a UEFA match to gain undue advantage for themselves and a third party". The charge relates to a 2004 Champions League first qualifying round match against FC Pyunik in Skopje, which the Armenian side won 3-1. The charge also implicates the president of FK Pobeda, as well as a player, with UEFA's Control & Disciplinary Body set to deal with the case on April 17. UEFA revealed in a statement they had brought the charge, almost five years after the game was played, based on reports of irregular betting patterns and declarations from witnesses. Pyunik scored three first-half goals without reply in the match. Their 17-year-old striker Edgar Manucharyan scored a double either side of Zhora Hovhannisyan's strike before Pyunik had Karen Aleksanyan sent off just before the break. Pobeda pulled a goal back through Blagoja Gesoski 10 minutes from time, but they did not progress after drawing the away leg 1-1 in Yerevan. A statement on UEFA's website read: "UEFA has announced today that the Macedonian club FK Pobeda, its president and one player have been charged for being in breach of the principles of integrity and sportsmanship by manipulating the outcome of a UEFA match to gain an undue advantage for themselves and a third party. "The match under investigation was the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round first leg between FK Pobeda and FC Pyunik on 13 July 2004. "The charge is based on reports received from the betting industry on irregular betting patterns and the declarations of several witnesses. "The control & disciplinary body will deal with the case on 17 April." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Serbs, they even use cryllic same as the Russians, and they look like Ivan Drago, look at Vidic. Plus they have a Russian outlook too i.e. cunts, and they think nothing of dirty tricks in wars. Aye they're basically Russian in mentality and they'd tell you that themselves.

Apart from the fact all the states within what was the old Yugoslvia are culturally different in many ways (plus the differences within said states that are also apparent), hence the wars and break-up. Apart from your coming across as a total bigot by suggesting all these places are inherently corrupt and so on.

Apart from your coming across as a total bigot by suggesting all these places are inherently corrupt and so on. It's quite clear what I mean. I take the point about some of the states being different from each other, but I've seen first hand what they are like. I remember when I was at the Ajax Arena in 2000 watch Spain v Slovenia, I remember thinking these cunts are like the Russians, no manners or fuck all. That said Croatia and Serbia are very different, something highlighted in Danny Dyer's International Football Factories, he said Belgrade felt and looked like Russia, while Croatia felt more like an Alpine country, they speak the same language although the Croatians don't use that ridiculous cryllic form of writing. I'm coming across as a bigot by saying the truth? They're all corrupt countries, fuck all ever gets done without backhanders or mafia involvement, I know a Boro fan personally who lived in Zagreb for 7 years who was sick of the cunts divorced his wife and came back. They're all corrupt, type in European corruption in google, and you will be surprised, the likes of Greece and Turkey, Bulgaria etc...oh dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
