Well well well. Rooney snr arrested. What a piggin' shock ey, 'cus he looks so sweet and innocent, just like his delightful son.

That aside. The way to stop all this betting scam nonsense is actually quite simple.
Stop allowing bets on these 'high risk of fixing' events.
Doesn't exactly take an Einstein brain to work out that being shown a red card is so esily achieved.

Exactly...........100k a week and Wayne Rooney only spends a grand on 2 brasses .....then is shocked when they spill the beans (no puns)........spend proper money and get a discreet one .........lets be honest who would admit to shagging him...

For the right price I would, but I am not his type

Deficient in the tit department, amongst other things

I'm not condoning the players actions, but have the Police got nothing better to do than investigate this. If they were to investigate every time somebody had a winning bet because somebody had a bit of inside information, they'd never have time to investigate anything else.

I use to work in a bookies in the late 70's and we use to get the odd tip on horses then, sometimes to bet on a particular horse, and other times not to bet on it that time because it was gong to be held back etc so that in the next race you would get a better price and it was likely to win, that tended to be good information

This still goes on now, an ex-colleague will ring up five minutes before a dog race and say "trap 6, in the 1123" etc. Off the lads will toddle, and sometimes they win, other times they don't. I don't get involved in the dogs because they have a mind of their own, whereas horses can at least be steered.

Poor bookies, my heart bleeds for them

It's 'easy meat' for the rozzers though. I mean just how absolutely thick have you got to be to place a bet on some random no mark of a player, playing for some random no mark of a club getting sent off?
Why would anyone actually place such a bet, and more to the point, why would a bookie take such a bet anyway?
The actual randomness of it would be sounding alarms to most normal thinking people surely, but there again, we're talking about a bunch of tossers that probably haven't got a brain cell between them.

GUILTY....imo.
