That assault is totally despicable. At least have the bottle to face up to him, rather than blindsiding him. Or, even better, don’t be a violent prick. 
 

But, Billy Sharp was silly standing on the touchline. What did he expect to happen?…

 

Absolute dickheads invading the pitch, attacking players and acting like typically disruptive Brits abroad. But, booing a song will still attract the most heat. This country!

The top league in Ireland.

Gardaí have arrested 10 men in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged match fixing in the League of Ireland.

The Garda Anti-Bribery & Corruption Unit and the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) today, Wednesday May 18, carried out what has been described as a "day of action" in relation to alleged match-fixing in the Irish senior men's soccer league.

As part of the planned operation in the Southern Region and Dublin Metropolitan Regions, 10 men, aged from their early 20s to 60s, were arrested and a number of residential properties have been searched.

Gardaí have confirmed that the operation was supported by staff attached to the Limerick and Cork City divisions.

Investigators said the men have been arrested on suspicion of the offence of Conspiracy to Defraud contrary to Common Law and are currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at various stations in the Southern Region and Dublin Metropolitan Region.

Gardaí said the operation stems from an investigation carried out by detectives attached to the Anti-Bribery & Corruption Unit in 2019, following reports of suspected match-fixing received from the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

Discussing today's operation, Detective Superintendent Catharina Gunne, from the GNECB, said: "Match-fixing and corruption is a threat to all sports at all levels and undermines public confidence in the fairness of sport.

"It can allow organised crime to infiltrate sport in order to use it to make illicit gains or launder proceeds of crime”.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone who has any information in relation to match-fixing or sports corruption to contact them.

Members of the public can share information in confidence with the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Confidential Reporting line on 1800 40 60 80 or their local Garda Station.

I'm not saying it was his fault, but it was very provocative for him to be in the City Ground. He can do all the standing-on-the-touchline he wants at Bramall Lane.

Well that's just great. I can't even use the corruption excuse to explain why Waterford are so shit.

I hate them lot but this is out of order. Frankfurt fans steaming into them, absolute dickheads. No police in site for 2 minutes. Fucking disgrace. There will be absolute murder later regardless of who wins.  r*ngers fans won't be standing for that later on.
