wildwood Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Spurs.. if you beat them, we'll give you 5m That's actually how it works in Spain and it's legal (though frowned upon). You can't pay someone to lose (obviously), but you can incentivise a rival's opponent to win. SERIOUSLY? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 19, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah, all you're doing is making sure that they try their hardest in a scenario where the match might otherwise be a dead rubber to them. Which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Following NurembergVillan's effort in the Sha thread I thought this one could do with something along the same lines :shock: My thoughts exactly. Supporting them is one thing, but that's too far. Disgusting. It's like those horrible cringy badges that Sunderland fans mocked up the other season before Newcastle's relegation. Urgh.

Gringo Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yes - can we change the title back please, spudzzzz ruined this. If spudz hadn't scored their second then blose were down on goals scored - and they'd be much more bitter over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted May 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 22, 2011 I will never forgive Spurs for that 2nd goal, I wanted them down on GD. I hate Spurs and Redknapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 They'd have actually gone down on goals scored. The only side ever to have I think Yep, couldn't understand why heard the Holte roaring on comms, even when it was still 1-1 at WHL......but then I realised Wolves had scored so they'd be down anyhow on Wolves goals scored However as it finished 40 points was enough to stay up... so normal service resumed.
