j1964m Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Police are investigating a game between Celtic and Hamilton from last season after a SPFL player was arrested earlier this week for a suspected case of matcch fixing. The entire Scottish football community was shocked earlier when Hamilton Academical’s Dougie Imrie was arrested after an irregular betting pattern was reported. The match in question was one between Celtic and Hamilton when the Hoops walked out with a 3-0 victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever Hearts Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Imrie got booked in the 82nd minute when they were 2-0 down. That's what will have alerted the bookies/police if there was a few big wagers on him receiving a yellow card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to 2005 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Wonder how many times Imrie has pulled this stunt. Would imagine Rice was getting a tip off about this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson5 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Unless Hamilton management or owners knew about this then I don’t think there will be any repercussions for the Club. However, if there is evidence to prove that this allegation is correct then Imrie could be looking at a custodial sentence. And the definitive end of his career in football.

annushorribilis III Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Forever Hearts said: The game was played LAST season. This is what I'm struggling with. Surely the placing of bets in the first place - if it's an unusual betting pattern (say,unusually large for this type of game) - would alert the betting authorities at the time ? Or is it a case of not lot of money wagered but it was wagered (even in part) by a player ? Even then , how does it take so long to find out the identities of the betters ? Seems weird to me.

AndyNic Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Apparently a close family member of a certain football manager that has just revealed a gambling addiction is involved in this and yet Imrie is claiming absolutely no knowledge of any wrongdoing...

PhoenixHearts Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 42 minutes ago, Forever Hearts said: It was LAST season. Juventus were femotdemoted in 2006 for match fixing during prior seasons. The timing shouldn't really have any bearing on it, just the fact that it happened at all. Timeframe shouldn't afford you impunity. If it happened, it happened, and a punishment is due whether it was yesterday, on year ago or ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Rangers’ cheating was described as “second only to match fixing” when the side contracts were discovered. If Imrie is found guilty, we have the bench mark for something not quite as serious, so we take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 There is money to be made in betting on the variables of games people can actually influence. Corners, bookings, throw ins etc etc. Would be very easy to dictate as well. Football is a vast spider web were people you wouldn’t put together end up knowing each other. Watch an episode of Si Ferry open goal, you’ll see how they all pretty much know each other. Would be so easy to say to a mate “get booked and I’ll get booked, stick £20 on it each”. The odds would be decent on that, get a third or a fourth person involved and you are talking silly money. Imrie picks up a booking in a match, plays 6 passes straight out the park for a throw in, knocks balls behind for a corner. Am willing to bet, no pun intended, this will be going on all over the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but after watching the goals hamilton conceded they could easily be looking at other possibilities with regards to irregular betting from that game dont you think? My point was really saying I guess none of us really know how much corruption goes on in the game. Easiest way to stamp down on it is do away with bets on individuals on things like bookings. Maybe that's too simple a solution though for the betting companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually unbelievable that Le Tissier admitted cheating in his book to win money by kicking the ball out for a throw in and he pretty much escaped scot free of criticism.
