hehe

Seems a bit disproportionate though, but I guess they were trying to balance it against the effect on the Italian game if a 'big name' was out of the lime light for a couple of seasons. Dunno. It'd be interesting to hear what the Italian press make of Juventus/Genoa situation.

Are we doing what we did last time, and locking and archiving this thread and starting a new one? Or would you prefer it all to carry on in here?

Just wondering, like.

I think the 2005/06 season is now well and truly over.

A nice new fresh thread would be cool. I can then archive all my own impending disappointments with Leeds.

There is a new thread now, if you look down the page a bit (sorry, Zoot!)

Well... you could argue the three clubs this time didn't FIX the match to guarantee a result/win - they influenced which ref was selected to give them more chance. So it's not the same as paying a side to throw a match.
