Oh my! If this is true the proverbial CPFC is gonna hit the fan big time.

What do our lovely Saints chums on here make of it? Would take some of the gloss off their Premiership years I would have thought.

Didn't Le Tissier already put this out in the open years ago? I'm sure I remember him talking about putting money on the time of the first throw in, and then booting the ball straight into touch from the kick off... Or am I just imagining that?

You're spot on. It was revealed years ago. This is not a story.

Hardly the 'soton betting scam' It was rife throughout the whole league. However this will not effect the premier league at all, unlike it has the Italian league.

Yep, the FA 'investigated' him when his autobiography came out. Great story from a brilliant bloke!

I remember when they did that in Dreamteam only the ball didn't go out and it probably cost someone their life

You do get an idea of the average age of a Sun reader though, those not old enough to remember the Le Tissier story from what, 8 years ago?

It wasn't rife it lasted a few weeks for time of 1stvthrow in & as soon as more dish than pennies was put on it , the bookies pulled it...they do notice things like that, strangely
