I don't think it's our place to tell uncivilised countries(in my mind all countries that have the death penalty are uncivilised) how to arrange their societies. Different cultures and all that. I tried to google if a footballer has ever gotten the death penalty but it's just results of American universities' american football teams getting the death penalty which in my opinion is incredibly harsh but different cultures and that innit.

Whew, oh man, I'm glad this was cleared up. Turns out Anton Rodgers & Co were just having a bit of banter and it was just a big joke.quote:Anton Rodgers, 20, denied there was a sexual element to what went on in a Brighton hotel room in July 2011.

I am starting to really dislike the word "banter". At least it was only "boy banter" and not "LAD banter", then things might have really got out of hand...

A right old mess but it must be very difficult for the jury 4 people on 2 different charges and the only evidence available from a girl who says she was asleep but saw lots of photographs and men who seem to be finger pointing at each other and only one actual photograph found as evidence. Hopefully the next jury will do their job and the girl gets some peace of mind but in the mean time the only people that are benefitting is the lawyers.

I have a sad story regarding one of the best strikers that has ever played for my team. Mário Jardel was a brilliant, brilliant scorer. Not especially gifted with his feet, but one of the best headers in the game and just overall amazing at finding goals. Hired from Vasco in 1994, he was part of Grêmio's winning Libertadores campaign in 1995, being the top scorer with 12 goals. Every Grêmio supporter that's between 20 and 30 years old now probably still has a kid-sized #16 jersey stuffed somewhere in their belongings. Shorty thereafter, he transferred to Porto, where he proceeded to be the top goalscorer in all goddamned Europe on two seasons (98-99, 99-00), top scorer in the 99-00 UCL alongside Raúl and Rivaldo, and have a 1.04 average goals per match (130 goals in 125 games). After a brief stint in Galatasaray, where he couldn't really adapt - but still kept his great average and won the UEFA Supercup -, he went back to Portugal, this time playing for Sporting. Again, he was Europe's top scorer with 42 goals in 30 matches, winning all three Portuguese national titles. After seven years of amazing play, Jardel was sure to become a top striker for one of the best European teams at age 28, in the year of 2002. He has gone through 15 different clubs since, most of them quite small, scoring about 40 goals in the last 11 years - less than what he scored in a single season, in 01-02. Jardel became a victim of a crippling cocaine habit, which made him fat, lazy, prone to injuries and a much, much worse player. That much was confessed by him in 2008, when he returned to Brazil to play for Série B's Criciúma. Although he apparently kicked the habit, he could never return to form, becoming a journeyman striker playing extremely short contracts for Série D clubs, a joke and a vague memory to most football fans. It's quite a sad tale, but he now thinks about becoming a coach and doesn't show signals of recent drug abuse, so there's a silver lining to the story, even if a faint one.

Nah, he came to my club Sporting and that's where he led us to the title and scored all those goals, he never played for Benfica. He's a legend here in Portugal because we (Porto and Sporting fans) only had to put up with him when he was one of the best strikers in the world, his downfall only came when he moved away though his taste for the night life was already pretty notorious when he played in Portugal, not only alcohol and drugs but also gambling. Rarely have I seen such a prolific poacher, he didn't do much for the team but he was always in the right place to score thus his ridiculous goal record, in recent times Falcao was obviously an icon for Porto but even he didn't come close to the impact Jardel had in that team, which should give people an idea of his talent.

It must be hell being a top level athlete.

Why do rich and famous people, or the ones who get caught, always seem to use the same prostitutes? Like, for this one they've found all sorts of numbers on her phone. They're all rich, surely get one each? Certainly less of a bombshell if anyone gets found out.

Saw a great french produced documentary about match fixing in football and the gambling industry. There's some people from Interpol, UEFA and economists explaining the process in great detail. It's incredibly interesting to see how the chinese mafia runs it all in cooperation with italian, balcan and turkish mafia to launder vast amounts of money. The interviews with the italian players who got busted for it is great as well, and just goes to show how corrupted the sport is at some levels. The amount of money in sports gambling is mind boggling. Also, I didn't know that match fixing was such a big problem in Belgium. Anyway, it's called "It's a Bet! Sports and Gambling", and you can see the first 18 minutes for free at their website: http://sales.arte.tv/detailFiche.action?programId=2727&request_locale=en

I'll be devastated if Ribery goes to prison. I can understand not knowing (this is why you check ID boys) but if he did know and still did it. I've lost all respect for him. Easily one of my favorite players in the game yet somehow this news article has not come across my attention.

There's really no need to feel devastated, unless you know him personally. You can still admire Ribery the player and despise Ribery the individual who makes a few boners now and then.

That's a lot of people in the know. The chinese and hong kong mafia has something like 10000 people making small bets for them, and its always live betting to it's almost impossible to detect. The documentary also showed some stats about the 2008 olympics had bets worth a total of 900 million euro and the 2011 CL final alone having over 1bn euros worth of bets.

Belgium has had some pretty high profile match fixes back in the 70s and 80s (like when Standard bribed Waterschei to throw their game to win the title), was one of the first countries to get in contact with Asian betting syndicates (through the case with Zheyun Yé with current Burkina Faso manager Paul Put as one of the major people in it) and the provincial and lower national leagues are known for having a lot of money going under the table, the top division clubs are controlled too much now for it to happen.
