Scottish Football In Multi-Pound Cover Up
REFEREES in the Scottish Premier League have been implicated in a betting ring worth over £10.
In Glasgow they are known as 'Rockefeller beans'
Celtic were denied a penalty in their game against Dundee United on 17 October, following a surge of high stake betting in a vile bookmakers in some ghastly part of Glasgow.
Suspicions were later raised when match officials were seen buying brand-name groceries.
A Scottish Football Association spokesman said: “Our league is seen all around the world when there’s literally nothing else on television and it must be seen to be clear of any corruption that could stop the same two teams winning everything.”
The controversy unfolded after referee Dougie McDonald, 2007′s Most Scottish-Sounding Man in Scottish Football, appeared to consult with his linesman over whether it was physically possible to deny Celtic a penalty whenever they felt like one.
It later emerged that earlier that day a 52-year-old Glaswegian had bet £2.20 at odds of five to one that a penalty decision would be overturned.
The spokesman added: “It’s incredibly difficult to deal with match fixing in Scottish football for two main reasons – how do you know when the embarrassing shite is pretend embarrassing shite and was anyone even watching it in the first place?”
McDonald has denied any wrongdoing, insisting his Heinz and Birds Eye purchases were funded by the sale of an elderly relative to Greggs.
