That was pretty much the position of Barendrecht: "Us deliberately losing wasn't unsportsmanlike, because you created a system in which us deliberately losing was the only way we could make the playoffs." Of course there's calls to change the system to something a little less dumb. Period championships are used in all but the highest leagues, meaning that there's a hypothetical situation where a team can qualify for both the relegation and promotion playoffs.

The guy who released all the gambling names said, out loud, yesterday that he didn’t name any Inter players because he’s a fan of the club. Completely normal thing to say and do.

It’s good that some of these guys admitted that they were doing this but the credibility of this dude with regard to any more accusations is out the window, regardless of whether it happened or not. He’s going to get sued in to oblivion by the remaining players he named.

this story just kept on going

Joey Barton could be facing bankruptcy over social media posts that have prompted costly libel action to be taken against him, a former lawyer has claimed.

BBC Radio 2 host Jeremy Vine is suing the ex-footballer for calling him a “bike nonce” in a social media post.

Barton uploaded an image on X, formerly Twitter, featuring Vine and disgraced TV presenter Rolf Harris, together with the comment: “Oh Jeremy Vine. Did you, Rolf-aroo and Schofield go out on a tandem bike ride? You big bike nonce ya!”

A libel claim has been filed at the High Court, naming Vine as the claimant and former Man City, QPR, and Newcastle midfielder Barton as the defendant.

It is the second libel case brought against Barton as a result of his recent activity on social media.

TV pundit and ex-footballer Eni Aluko is also suing him after an online attack about her family, after a series of social media posts about female football pundits and Aluko herself.

According to Clive Wismayer, a former civil litigation solicitor, the legal action could land Barton in serious financial stress.

Similar action taken against actor Laurence Fox has resulted in costs and damages of £2.2 million which do not include his own costs, Wismayer says.

A Go Fund Me promoted by Barton in March to help him “take on” Jeremy Vine has raised £15,934 of its £100,000 target.
