if I remember correctly, BBC match stats gave Stanley a total of about 15 shots to Bury's 5 - funny way to 'chuck' a match don't you think ? Really surprised the FA seem to be considering the allegations - it's a 'no brainer'.

And yet we didn't score any of them. Looks suspicious to anyone outside looking in. However, for those of us who've had to watch weak finishing all season, it doesn't come as any surprise.

A bet on Stanley to lose at home! You'd be mad wouldn't you!!!!

Today's Accrington Observer quotes Coleman as saying, "I had to leave out a couple of players I was going to play on Saturday because of this investigation and it wasn't fair on them and it wasn't fair on me having my team picked for me."

Curiouser and curiouser. Who told Coley to leave them out, and why?

An FA spokesman said the investigation will take as long as it takes, and is quite unusual in football. Although betting was suspended on Bray to beat Sligo last year, apparently "an old fashioned betting coup", bookies losing €100,000 on the game. These bets were kept small and spread about, which is the traditional way with such things, infomation gathering being as sophisticated as it is these days.

I placed a bet on this for Bury to win in Accrington Coral, so that proves that thats a lie.

Coral said seen as my winnings were less than £100 they would pay out.

Baldy, not a lie mate as the report was about the LARGE numbers of bets coming from the Liverpool area, it didnt say that no bets were taken elsewhere!

Paddy Power's original quote is that almost all of the bets came from Liverpool, that, and the amount of money involved triggered the pre-match events and subsequent investigation.

Have just found this quote from Eric, post match, "As far as I'm concerned, they (the Football League) have to get in touch with me if there is going to be any investigation. Unless they can bring names forward, we, as a club, can do nothing. "

Yet Coley states he had to leave two players out!

Are you trying to say you can detect the faint odour of rodent, Oggy?

maccawozzagod · 09-05-2008, 19:20

I don't think Coley meant that he HAD to leave players out, more a case of if he had played a significantly weakened team, in light of the breaking story, it would have looked a lot worse. Therefore he went with the same team pretty much as the previous week

CLAYTON RED · 09-05-2008, 19:25

Wow just heard even more, i might of missed this one but a bet or bets where put on that the 2nd goal would of been scored through a penalty,

i.e. officials being changed, who knows,

I do not know if you could puts this on, but someone will of lost alot of money if they did manage that.

But if the original officials had been there and this was true we might of lost 3-0

Only PPL who will Know

F.A. Shhh

May be they should look at themselves

Joshbrfc · 13-05-2008, 02:05

What was all this about match fixing rumours i heard about Accy, don't worry im not accusing you of it, just what was it all about?

Just rubbish rumours or what?

ZOMBIE · 13-05-2008, 05:17

As a thread already exists, I'll merge the two together.

Thought this was strange at the time, why couldn't the club have had an internal investigation, there is no way any employer I've worked for would not investigate what is basically a case of alleged gross misconduct.

When you've got a very public profile to protect it would be even more important, surely.

In light of Eric's, and now Jimmy Bell's reaction, the club is once again showing its lack of professionalism. Eleven months after the event I feel they should be able to either totally back the players, or have dealt with the matter appropriately long ago.
