£1.55m traded on the match, £1.45m traded on the draw
The draw has gone off, odds on!
Chievo - Catania
Rigging a game like this that involves at least 22 players being in on it surely has got to be nigh on impossible. One or two in a team could be bent and throw a game away such has happened before, but for a draw you'd to control too many people. Lay it up I say (not that I'll be putting my money where my mouth is!)

It` s seems to be a corrupted match..All the allegation are right but there no proof yet. some1 said to rig a game like this you need 22 players involved. Those 22 players on the pitch all togheter worth around 3.9 million pounds a week,over 203 million pounds a year. would they RISK their football carrieir for an extra 2.2 million? When match fixing happened over Italy few years ago there was over 5 billion pounds worth the scum.

Hi,
From the information I gathered it wasn't a corrupted match, it was a settled match. Both teams wanted the match to end in a draw and they have settled it. The difference to corruption may be subtle, but there is one.

HI
Well Silvio was holding quite an extravagent rally so maybe he needed a few extra quid to cover his expenses. I would use the word corruption together with the word allegedly.
You don't want to be waking up with a horses head in the bed with some blue circle wellies, being made an offer you can't refuse.
No doubt the Pontif will forgive them he's forgiven everyone else allegedly.
Cheers

Here's a link to the highlights - the "penalty" has to be seen to be believed!

I watched a replay of this game. If the result was settled to 1-1 the way they played the game ( very competitive) makes you wonder that every matches can be settled if footballers are so good to act. it remind me of a wrestling fight. I have also news from Italy, Chievo and Catania players were contacted from Holliwood to record a film..
