This article is so biased it’s almost comical. As a poster above mentioned, this inquiry is an offshoot of the Calciopoli scandal and not “another depressing, match fixing headline”. Funny thing was that the scandal itself was not even match-fixing…but this is the way it’s been reported in the English press.

I’d stick to covering the MLS and EPL Bob, and let someone without a hate boner for Serie A cover Italy.

Eh, isn’t the article putting a slightly inaccurate spin on things to make more of a story? This refers to a supposed incident at the end of the 2005/06 season – already one of the ‘tainted’ seasons (if in fact Rossi did do anything wrong, which at present is not entirely clear). Which gives hope that maybe – just maybe – things have actually changed. If this was an incident that occurred after calciopoli and the measures taken to clean up the game, then it would be worrying. As it is, I think it is one of the final echoes of the calciopoli scandal itself.

I think it’s sad that he was unsuccessful. I’d be emberassed to be ousted on an unsuccessful match-fixing request.

It’s just too bad they get caught…. the real match fixing occurs without anything being said… Do you think it’s in a refs best interest to make a call agaisnt Juve, Inter or Milan? I don’t.

I just can’t take this league seriously anymore. They have ridiculous amounts of talent, but the teams and administration need a serious overhaul before the rest of Europe recognizes any Italian result as legitimate again.
