Over the past few weeks, there have been accusations and suggestions that some matches have been fixed, or some officials are helping some teams to get results. The other week, some teams, that are sitting precariously at the bottom positions won games scoring an avalanche of goals in their games, and there were ‘stories’ of cheating. For purposes of this piece, I will call them ‘stories’ as they remain unsubstantiated.
At the top half, some teams have benefitted from the rub of the green and got a favourable decision here and there and once again ‘stories’ came out that they were ‘buying’ results. Unfortunately I’m not party to such allegations, atleast until they are proven, and I sometimes feel that our frustrations as football supporters have the better of us and we make up ‘stories’. I might be wrong: but I feel that if someone has genuine suspicions that some matches have been fixed or the BPL or officials are conniving with some teams to fix results, then they should speak up and present some evidence.
