Hope this link works, for those who don’t believe there isn’t corruption in football.

Cheers for fixing it bud 👍🏼

Beckham famously got booked so he'd miss an easy England match and be available for a tougher one.
Must be loads that do it. Maybe not ask the referee specifically.

[Just Jimmy]

Not surprising but utterly contemptible at the same time.

He should be hauled into an interview room for match fixing and made to name and shame.

Not sure you can really blame the ref there, the guy was going to do all he could to get a yellow so better that he gets it for kicking the ball away rather than going through some poor opponent that happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I seem to remember a few talking about McGinn going for a yellow last season to get his suspension out of the way before a couple of big games. Doubt that sort of thing is uncommon.

And to think some on here were telling us the refs aren’t corrupt and just poor. 🙄 There are refs just like footballers involved in match fixing etc and it’s been going on for many years and sadly still is going on.

That's nuts.

Seem to remember winning a bet on a mcginn booking

Nah sorry, it’s blatant cheating. Doesn’t matter if the guy was going all out to get booked you can’t ask the ref to help and he defo shouldn’t be helping.

That’s not corrupt imo.

The guy has said he wants booked, the refs told him how to make sure he gets booked and he’s done it.

If anything it was naive of the player for not knowing that anyway.

If you backed Hibs to take centre and for the ball to be punted out the park most weeks you’d make a fortune on that as well. 🤔

So the ref helping the player get booked so he plays in the “big derby” isn’t corrupt? Really?

[we are hibs]

Didn't Rooney do something similar? There was betting on him being sent off and he was

Fair enough, I can see why you blame the ref. All I saw was the ref telling the player what to do to get a yellow card. Just like you see refs giving a final warning and telling folks what not to do if they don't want a yellow.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

The player, on the other hand....

He wasn't realistically helping him though, was he? Anyone going into a pitch wanting a booking can get a booking no bother in reality.

I blame both, the ref and the player both as bad as each other. Shouldn’t be happening but sadly is. A lot worse happens but very hard to prove!

The player should have just booted the ball away or pulled a player back on the attack. He shouldn’t be asking the ref for help and the ref shouldn’t even consider it.

I agree with your first sentence. And the first part of your second sentence. But once the question has been asked, what do you expect the ref to do? Maybe he should book the player for even asking?

I don’t think there will be many innocent enough to believe in no corruption in a sport worth billions of pounds. That ‘rat’ of an official is clear evidence that, putting players and blazers aside for a moment, because they will include criminals as well, referees are open to manipulating game outcomes and probably taking bribes to do so.

Have heard many ex-players talk openly about getting booked on purpose.

Slight surprise at the way that Halsey tells it, but nothing earth shattering there.

[ancient hibee]

The ref should have given him a yellow card for asking how to get a yellow card.Or even better a red card for involving the ref in a possible corruption situation.Or even better the ref could have kicked him up the backside.

Same, and many current players too. But to go and ask a ref is taking it further.

[Skol]

Thats not corruption. Its knowing and exploiting the rules. Doesnt make it right, but its not corruption.

Bribes are what’s running the game imo.

It is, but it's so easy to get booked deliberately via dissent or kicking the ball away that I'm amazed that the conversation even took place.

Referee could probably have booked him for ungentlemanly conduct just for asking!
