 Match fixing has a long tradition at Juve....I fully expect to see an increase in this sort of thing though, as FIFA is known to be completely corrupt, so has no moral authority over the game.

The allegations are from when Conte was manager of Siena and Criscito was at Genoa, nothing to do with Juve.

But Juve do have substantial previous though don't they? Although it does seem unfair to pick on them, seems about half Series A and B are involved (e.g. Lazio's captain has been arrested in the most recent series of dawn raids, Atalanta's captain was banned recently) - it's a widespread problem in Italian football full stop, not limited to one club.

Yep, Juve have previous, however this current investigation has nothing to do with them. I was just pointing this out because Reg and SPW thought it was.

Yea, kind of skimmed the article first time round didn't realise these players were under investigation at different clubs. Still shows the mess of Italian football.

Changed the title now.

Fair dos, everyone's a winner! (As long as they've bribed the right officials sufficiently)

Well done, I'm so proud.

Like last time , I hope this creates a siege mentality amongst the Italian players and they go on to win the Euro's.

It happens all over Europe. Some people are better at keeping it quiet than others.
