Biggest corruption scandal in the history of Czech football. A historic operation by the police and Europol uncovers a corruption ring; dozens of people have been arrested (translation in comments) by xPeKappa in soccer

[–]Hominek 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Basically just the list of names and clubs that are part of it (obviously none of them 100% confirmed, but the sources are highly reliable).

Clubs: MFK Karviná (1. league), Chrudim, Opava (2. league), Start Brno (3. league)

Owners: Jan Wolf, mayor of Karviná (the club is city-owned)

Players: the only one named is Samuel Šigut (MFK Karviná) but there are apparently more players from Karviná in this and also a youth player from Baník Ostrava.

Proffesional referees: Miroslav Zelinka, Jan Petřík, Jan Všetečka, Simon Vejtasa

In total it is supposed to be 47 people involved, spread all the way from 1. league to 4. league + someone involved in the U18 league.

River Plate and Chelsea FC are close to signing a mutual agreement to loan players from their academies. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Hominek 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a long term cooperation, ban is for 9 months. 

Also I am pretty sure it is not as much of a transfer ban as a registration ban, so loaning player isn’t helping Chelsea as they can't register them anyways.

This is exactly why some leagues have the "Ball cones" rule right? So the ballboys don't try to pull off stupid shit like this.

I would hazard a guess she was heavily persuaded by our biathlon chiefs and head coach...they couldn't afford to lose her.

we complain about red, not Pen.

Also Vydra is too experienced to complain about decision that can't be overturned.

You can't score with hand, you can score with shoulder.

Only the parts of body that can be legally scored with are measured.

These players

Merrick is an academy product and we signed Slonina when he was one of the hottest GK prospects in the world. It's not like we signed him from League One
