From Declan Hill's blog.

Now I wonder why Shabby Singh brought in six Portuguese players to Rovers all of a sudden and was desperate to have a Manager at Ewood who would do his bidding?

Here is how they work. The Asian fixers have a ''runner'' who works as their agent. These agents hire a local ''project manager'' - usually a team official - coach, manager or senior player. The key quality of a project manager is that they have to have lots of credibility and power on the team.

The runner gives the project manager a sum of money to start to persuade the players to join the fix. The project manager knows which players are most likely to take part in a fix. In a more complicated variation, the runner will arrange the transfer on to the team of various players who have worked fixes before.

In Finland, the world's biggest match-fixer, Wilson Raj Perumal, who is suspected of masterminding the rigging of professional soccer matches in the Victoria Premier League, helped bring in eight Zambian players who would then win or lose games on his command.

Once the fix is set up, the runner phones the Asian fixers with the information on how the fix will be played. This is not just which team will win or lose but more complicated choreography. For example, if a team can lose the first half, but end up winning the game, they can earn 20 to 30 times their money.

Then these fixers - with their years of experience - ''fix'' the Asian gambling markets. Using agents and sophisticated tactics they hide their activities from the bookmakers.

In one fix in a 2009 match played in a minor soccer league in Canada, they had a globalised network of fixers, runners and players stretching across nine countries and three continents.

In this way, they have fixed soccer games in at least 60 countries, including the United States, El Salvador, Guatemala, Zimbabwe, Malta, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Finland, Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and Canada.

They fixed matches at every level from youth-level football tournaments to the lucrative Champions League to, according to Europol, the Europe-wide police organisation, hundreds of international matches.

The problem is that few inside the sporting world are actually taking this issue seriously. There are, of course, lots of conferences, lots of speeches, lots of high ideals, but very little action.

Emailed Declan and asked him to look at the Spurs game!

'That' Spurs game?

Hmmm, perhaps some sort of file needs to go to the Serious Fraud Office, Parliament and whoever else might be interested.

The Spurs game wasn't rigged. Our failure to make a single effort on goal was down to Steve Kean, a Tottenham side chasing CL qualification, Steve Kean, an experimental formation, and Steve Kean. He really was that sh*te. We can put the tin foil hats away, now.

What does it say? It's just a black rectangle on my screen.

Same for me but if you drag your mouse across the area with left mouse button held down the text appears.

That spurs game is the oddest I have ever seen in a game involving Rovers.

If you hold your finger on the black box , it should select a word. You can the drag the range to highlight the text and copy it into notes.

Not ideal but it gives the anti-apple types something to moan/laugh about. :tu:

Thank you! I'm not an apple hater btw - I'm still finding my way around the ipad I've been given, and even worse the Mac book over which I appear to have no control whatsoever.

I was very uneasy about that one too. City away was the other one that worried me a bit.

West Brom away was another. We conceded something like six corners in the first nine minutes. Having a few quid on that would have paid big dividends.

Scary coincidence? Puts a really dodgy spin on our recent similar bulk buy from Portugal.

Had they had the opportunity to be influential....

Perhaps the punt was how many games in the first team they'd play between them?

Allegedly they were all promised a game at Charlton!

I actually thought that was a wind up and felt embarrassed whilst I did it for being so stupid :)

Swansea away was abject garbage.

But the dodgiest for me was Peterborough at home when two players gave first half performances akin to snookers Stephen Lee.

"The FA takes the matter of integrity extremely seriously,"

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, of course they do ,as shown on another matter when their then business partners were involved in it.

Perhaps on the match fixing the do FA are waiting for the clubs to do all the leg work and collect the evidence because they can not be bothered/do not want to / can not. After all got to keep up the facade for Sky Sports and other media "partners" that the English game is the cleanest game in the world wouldn't want to stop that lovely cash rolling in and the perks for the old boys ties that brings

The whole organisation stinks.The West Ham/Tevez thing showed that some clubs were.. let's say "looked after".

I may have a small town chip, but I do wonder what the FA would have done if Anderson, Kean and the Grims had destroyed Arsenal or Spurs...
