An 'element of proof' is the antagonists' main weapon to dispel such insinuations and admittedly, gleaning the evidence has always been a 'big stumbling block' to overcome before the authorities can catch and charge people properly. This is where strict secrecy works wonders to keep such random activities 'under wraps' and well away from the public eye. It's all down to opinion all the same and whether you really think the sport of football is 'squeaky clean' and immune from the temptations of bribery, match-fixing and various other corrupt activities that could be detrimental to the reputation of Scottish footie.

 the element of secrecy is paramount in these corrupt individuals not being detected and caught! The 'rolled up trouser' brigade are certainly well into that practise as well eh!
During the same period, about 1986, there was a ref, K O'Donnell, who I remember disallowed 3 x good goals (all onside goals) for a rampant Dundee United v Rangers at Tannadice. None of the goals were even close to being offside! This same ref had a couple of highly questionable ref performances at ER as well - very one-sided decision-making! He disappeared from the SFA ref list within a few weeks after the game at Tannadice - a fact! I remember it well because I wrote a scathing letter to the Scotsman sports columnists re this guy - he was rank awful! The SFA discreetly removed him and he was never seen again.
Has any ref in Scottish footie ever taken a 'bung' for whatever reason? Of course it's possible! Who'd be so naive to dismiss that suggestion out of hand - greed/avarice and it's a human nature issue/weakness! 

No mention of Rangers at all.

That's not the original OP and it's a flippant remark Cooper, no more than that! Stop being selective and trying 'to make a mountain out of a molehill!! A bigger issue than it really is! Stop perpetuating an argument to suit your own negative agenda as Amelia recently commented and she's right!! It must be some kinda contagious disease that you've all contracted together lol - ridiculous!

QED

Stop being an idiot Cooper!! You're a decent poster most of the time until you suddenly 'turn on a sixpence' for some bizarre reason!!! You're bigger than that kinda nonsense surely and you're not a druggie!
