Match Fixing on 06:09 - Apr 4 with 7705 views | ColDale | From a Dale point of view, it's not good to see one of ours involved, albeit a loann player. The number of PNE players involved makes it pretty much clear that the allegation surrounds something before GC joined us, and it does need saying that since coming to Dale, he has not picked up a single booking. Whether he should continue to be a part of the first team squad for the remainder of the season comes down to Hilly and how he views GC's head. He's down the pecking order anyway at the moment, and I suppose this makes him a target for opposition players and supporters now who'll be in his ear from the first moment. He shouldn't be binned off merely on the back of being named in the Daily Mail but the manager should make the right judgement call for the club, and I'm sure he will do. Sad to see Buchanan listed too. As a Rochdale lad, he's been very involved in the local community down at Oulder Hill, turning up all their events, speaking at awards nights and working with their football teams. Seems a decent bloke. Unfortunately for all involved, the precedent of the Pakistani crickets might well see them earn some time behind bars. In the grand scheme of things, what the cricketers did was fairly trivial and very little impact on the overall outcome of the game. If there's any truth in the allegations, I'd be surprised if it was anything beyond something fairly trivial to the outcome of the game and it will be a million miles from match fixing. Matt Le Tissier admitted in is auto biog that his Soton team would boot the ball out from the kick off to win on the spot fixing, but there was more naivety in those days about this sort of thing and it was almost classed as being a laugh rather than anything malicious. in the long term, the Football League have some serious consideration to make regarding their own position and how they cosy up to betting companies, and what education is needed to stop young lads throwing their careers away for a moment of madness. | ![](/images/avatars/1006.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Conceding needless corners leads to goals. Picking up staged yellows or reds leads to suspensions. Conceding throw ins is deliberately giving up possession. These actions all benefit the opposition Punters hand over millions of pounds a week through legitimate bookmakers when betting on football matches and these greedy cheats are manipulating the outcome for their financial game. If Cummins kicked the ball out for a corner on purpose and the opposition scored from it then obviously the outcome of the game has been influenced by cheating. The cricket spot fixing is just the same and undermines the whole sport. Hansi Cronje is a good example and your post seems to trivialise the actions. Its a multi million pound operation involving organised criminals, the fact the National Crime Agency and money laundering issues are being investigated shows the scale and seriousness of the allegations. It isnt match fixing but it does mean that the game you are watching isnt being played as it should be.

Agree, Cummings might well be innocent but its a distraction we don't need at present. Trivialising spot fixing is ridiculous, if you have a team of players busting a gut in every match to get the right result but one of the team is picking up back handers for not giving his all to the cause, you can imagine what effect that will have on the rest of the team. | ![](/images/avatars/1233.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yay, it's guilty before proven time. As with the Accy one, there's grades of involvement. For example, i think our Captain had his team to lose in a £2 accumilator type bet or something like that. To date all we know is the Mail have listed him as one of the 13. He can go in front of the firing squad when found guilty for me, figuratively speaking of course. | ![](/images/avatars/1088.gif) |

Our captain will always carry that around with him though wont he. Just because he captains our team doesn't mean what he did was right. The players know the rules when it comes to betting on matches and Cavanaghs flutter on his own team to lose a game doesnt put him in a very good light. How that bet was made up is irrelevant. If we found out that our players had put money on us to lose tomorrows game against York I don't think anybody of us would be happy. Bringing Cav into the conversation isn't the wisest move when discussing this type of thing. | ![](/images/avatars/1233.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I don't see how we could possibly play him whilst under investigation - what if he misses a sitter or gets booked or gives away a penalty? Another thing is if he has won bets whilst playing for Preston why would he stop just because he has joined Dale. For all we know he may have bet whilst playing for us also? In our position its not worth risking. | ![](/images/avatars/2229.gif) |

I think it is right to mention Cav when discussing this as he did this previously. As you say, Cav carries round the stigmata of that incident, I'm sure he is big enough to cope with people referring to it. As he has shown, it is possible to continue in Football after such an incident. Equally, I think there should be punishment according to culpability IF found guilty, hence why I mentioned the level that Cav was involved in his incident. I simply think the lad should be innocent until proven guilty and if his head is right and Hilly want to, he should be in the picture for Saturday. As already said elsewhere however, he is currently down the pecking order to Donnelly and Bunney. | ![](/images/avatars/1088.gif) |

The fact money laundering is mentioned just highlights the massive amounts of money involved, if that wasn't the case the National Crime Agency wouldn't be involved. We aren't talking a five quid accumulator here and the players involved ( if charged and found guilty) will probably just be pawns in the game, but obviously the ones doing the dirty work. They only need to succumb to the temptation once and then they are in the fixers back pockets who you can imagine will be very manipulative, they have to carry on with the dirty work.

Totally agree with you..... Send him back to his parent club as it is clearly their problem not dales... The recent performances have proved that cummins is not required and his head will be all over the place so he is no more use to the squad as he as been named in the press....

6 players from Preston? 6? That is surely about 3 more than it is possible for the club to shrug off. I sincerely doubt they have heard the last of this, I suspect they are just hoping to get the season out of the way and get rid of the bad apples. All I would say about Stephen Dawson is that if he has been doing anything other than keeping his sole focus on winning the game, he has changed a lot in 4 years. I struggle to believe a guy with his kind of drive to make the most of his ability would jeopardise his career like that. I would also just like to join what I am sure is a bubbling under well of support on here for an unquestionably honest. upstanding and praiseworthy member of the Sodje family, Efetobore. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Gambling makes people do desperate things. You just don't know. He doesn't necessarily have to be involved in the outcome - could be bookings, corners, you can bet on almost anything nowadays. One thing I would say about our captain Cavanagh's involvement all those years ago - it seemed like he was just guilty of stupidity - I'm sorry but if you are looking at profiting from spot fixing / match fixing you don't do £2 accumulator! | ![](/images/avatars/2229.gif) |
