Unusual betting patterns concerning the Nigeria-Argentina game.

Something was wrong with this referee. we we're joking about it at the time, but it was really strange some of the decisions he made. Especially the end of the match when he added 9 minutes(to a 4-0 friendly ! :lol:) and gave Argentina a ridiculous penalty in the last minute because the ball hit Ayila's groin. Performance of Argentina obviously questionable, but more explainable through motivation and other factors.

Ah, I now see the investigation is related to a fifth goal when we were 4-0 up. Bloody hell! This was blatantly fixed then. Neither team had interest in playing anymore. We were doind oles waiting for him to blow and he literally continued the match until they had an attack and blew his whistle as soon as it touched a Nigerian in the box. Cannot believe these Nigerien  referees. We shouldn't have let them im our country.

 

:lol: Everything about this match was a disaster for us other than the great result and performance. It will again be a long time before top sides deal with playing locally in Naija again .

A footballer caught speeding has blamed his ex-manager Roy Keane.

 

Ipswich Town ace Damien Delaney, 29, told a court he put his foot down because Keane would fine him ­thousands of pounds if he turned up late for training.

 

The defender was clocked doing 44mph in a 30mph zone in Ipswich in October.

 

He said in a letter to South East Suffolk magistrates: “I had an unreasonable boss and was worried I’d be docked two weeks’ wages.”

 

He was fined £235 and got four points on his licence after admitting speeding.

 

Hardman Keane, who has since been sacked as Ipswich Town manager, was reported to have had a bust-up with Delaney last year after he missed several matches.

Real Radio are stopping live commentary for both our and mackem games next season.  Apparently they had a deal in place with the unwashed, but we wanted to double the cost, so they've pulled the plug on both to avoid being accused of favouritism or bias.

Seems a strange decision, who would have given a fuck about favouritism? Wouldn't have given it a second thought tbh. ???

 

Cutting their nose off to spite their face.
