barbaric ,I pray we get over this

It normally happens at the end of every league season,

even in EPL, La-Liga, Seria A, e.t.c, matches are normally given away to help fellow city or regional teams survive relegation.

I don't blame the Gombe United fans because the management sold the game to wikki who want to avoid relegation and as you all know wikki and Gombe are arch enemies just like Madrid and Barca. That Maurice guy intentionally headed the ball into his own net with the goalkeeper just standing that was what angerd the fans.
Something the op failed to report is that the fans even vandalised the stadium properties some even made away with things like TV and fridge but thank the police where able to identified some and even arrested them


Lastly the LMC have alot of work to do because this issue of match fixing is tarnishing the image of our league

Exactly what happened.
I was there.

that's not true. match fixing is a serious offence in foreign leagues for which teams pay huge prices if convicted.

I don't get it, but gombe themselves are going on relegation, why would they sell the match to another team that might be going on relegation

The match is Gombe United vs Wikki Tourists.

Gombe are already relegated. Wiki Tourists needed to win that match in order not to be the fourth team to be relegated. Shooting Stars would be relegated instead if Wiki Tourists won the match.

The suspicion is that Gombe United felt that they had nothing to play for since they were already relegated and that Wikki Tourists induced Gombe United to lose the match so that Wikki Tourists would not be relegated. That's why Gombe United fans rioted.

Wikki Tourists ended the season with 53 points and survived, while Shooting Stars ended the season with 50 points and were relegated.

That match looked fixed. Gombe United were already relegated and had nothing to lose or gain. Wikki needed to win to survive. How a team that had no away win all season could suddenly benefit from a generous own goal is absolutely scandalous.

Reminds me of the fixed collabo between Rangers and Shooting Stars in the 90s. Rangers lost at Enugu to Shooting 1-0 to guarantee Shooting a continental ticket, and in the same month, Rangers beat Shooting 1-0 in the FA cup semi final to get a guaranteed continental slot.

It was the ultimate disgrace between two highly reverred clubs who sold out stadia in the 70s and 80s.

OK I see, they were already relegated and chose to make some cash on their way out. shameful. this is part of the reasons our local league has not grown, no integrity.

Na fear of losing abi wetin cause this one?




Don't be like those guys up there, Equip yourself with a skill, book a seat for a two days free training on web designing/developmnet

All d soldiers are dancing with Pythons

Enough of these blame games. I can bet you that the notoriety of fans in such act does not limit to the north.
It can happen to any derby in the south. Let's stop these blame games and face the reality.
With the preponderance of evidence here, I think the home team should be blamed for letting such own goal.

This is the latest update from Shooting Stars' Twitter handle. Not the teams highlighted in yellow.

Must Nigerians be hoodlums everywhere?

And why would an Esterner be the own goal scorer? E no like him own life?

A fixed match it is and must be replayed or cancelled in total.

so shooting stars are now relegated. that's unjust.

I meant to write, "Note the teams in yellow". The LMC say that they have not yet determined the fourth team that will be relegated. They are waiting for the match report from the referee and match commissioner before they make a decision. Shooting Stars say that they are waiting for the LMC's decision.

madridguy:
Ontop wetin?

One team score own goal!? Was very suspicious, as d other team needed it to avoid relegation.

Animals. Animals everywhere. Who on earth carries cutlasses, knives and sticks to watch ordinary match. .

I see, let's hope justice prevails.

That was how in 2013, all because some Nigerian club wanted to gain promotion, they reported them to have scores 79-0!!!

79 bloody zero!!!

While the other team scored 67-0 In one match ooo


Can you imagine the level of stupidity?

After they will be asking why we don't watch Naija league, league where the home team cannot lose!

Hope you can recognize me among them.

It's really very funny how people think.. Gombe utd on 43 points and 19th on the table playing against Wikki tourists on 50 points, 16th on the log and a GD of - 5, indicating they are a better side than Gombe United this season.
More so, Wikki tourists needed just a draw to stay afloat which would have kept them at 51 points...
I don't think the fans went boo-boo-zah because of any match fixing of which we are not sure of, they were just angry and disappointed with the club for playing an awful season.

somehow:

I really don't understand.. Own goals are unavailable and inevitable in football.. I am a Chelsea fan so I will speak with evidence..
When batshuayi headed in an own goal to give Tottenham fc an equalizer just 3 weeks ago was it a fixed match? Or when John Terry slid and fell when taking the final penalty to give Chelsea fc their first Champions League trophy ever and Manchester United later went on to win it was it a fixed match?

More so, with the match ending 0:0 Wikki tourists would have gotten 51 points and would have still not been relegated. Not forgetting Gombe utd have been very poor and awful this season.
