THE first Norwegian sentence for match-fixing joins a series of international lawsuits. For sport is these settlements for the courts become a vital away match. The alternative is to give up football as a competitive sport, and it just does not happen in the world’s most important sports.
This is why the various national federations pushing in huge funds in combat control in order to obtain a better platform in the settlement with the international fixed holders. Such as for example here in Norway where disclosure summer of 2012 was followed by new controls both the Football Association and Norwegian Tipping.
For this is a battle of general confidence in the sport as football environment can not afford to lose.
SIMPLE said:
•• 1-0 must remain a result that shows the essential difference between the sporting skills two teams. Not just a result of buying and selling.
That’s not always so easy in a sport that is widely commercialized, and there just buying and selling players in advance determines much of the result on the pitch. Precisely the extremely large flow of money in international football is one of the greatest challenges for those working to save the sport’s reputation. There is so much to serve for so many to fix the result in just a single game.
THE was the way it officially started in football history first revealed fraud in 1899 when Burnley his goalkeeper Jack Hilman nicknamed “Happy Jack” offered opponents Nottingham Forest two pounds each to take it a bit quiet. His team needed a victory in the season’s final game to avoid relegation from the then English 1.divisjon, and Jack thought that Forest guys figured on like that. For had they not surprisingly lost 0-8 to West Bromwish just a few weeks before?
It had, but no more surprising than that the offer was reported to the British FA and “Happy Jack” was banned one year for match-fixing.
SO sin entered in the paid football game, and there will always to some extent be. The question is to what degree. As isolated incidents in this seemingly somewhat amateurish Norwegian fellow gang, or as a global billion fraud with clammy hands in fiksete battles on all continents which case by case squeezes the air out of football.
The international picture is severe enough, and is the reason that society uses ordinary criminal law is to combat fraud. Concurrent with our judgments, for example, the Spanish judiciary started with a case involving some of the sport’s premier profiles.
Just a few days ago was Atletico Madrid captain Gabi in court again to release new explanation. Along with 40 other players, coaches and managers is he named in the aftermath of Real Zaragoza against Levante on 21st May 2011 where Real after accusation bought into a 2-1 victory to avoid relegation from La Liga:
– I just did what the team asked me, the former Real Zaragoza player Gabi explained earlier.
THE club reportedly asked the players, was to act as intermediaries for a payout of about 7 million for Levantes boys. The transaction took place by club management transferred a sum of money for every Real player that the players themselves took out in cash the following day. Then the cash collected and delivered the individual Levante player.
Ducks trial conviction is the Spanish penal framework up to four years. A similar case has already sent Osasuna- director Txuma Peralta in prison, while managers and players of Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano and Espanyol is ever new questioning. Together the players from all over the Spanish top football.
HERE at home is implicated preliminary isolated to a gang environment without connection with the management of each club. It is at best a sign that fraud has not yet been able to develop.
This is precisely the domestic football ongoing confrontation with itself will be about for decades to come. Manages the environment to say a definite no, also manages the sport itself.
