| In the sun today , a few extracts -
" Extra-careful ones got mates to stick the money on. Even bradford got wind of the c**p side and loads of them were on"
" the following afternoon, a very excited glees rang to say he'd got the bet on the saints to lose be at least nine points "
"the odds were 10-11 and glees stuck a grand on to win £1909, including the stake"
"if we'd had any brains ,we'd have put it on a spread bet where you punt per point and we'd have made more money.
If we had any brains we wouldnt have opened telephone accounts to place bets against our own team"

He hasn't named anyone except Gleeson, who was duly charged and banned for a while, so there is no case to answer.

I very much doubt they'd bother with it, as we all know he's just selling his book even if it is in a rather unsavoury way, but of course there is technically a "case to answer", as the Bulls club is potentially being defamed, and it has every right to sue for defamation quite apart from what any individuals might want to do, if the board thinks its reputation is being damaged.
A trading company with a trading reputation in England can win libel damages without the need to show that it has suffered any particualr damage, if the libel tends to damage it in the way of its business.
[i Quote: SaintsFan "
Jameel & Others –v- Wall Street Journal Europe (No 2) House of Lords (2006)[/i
“The good name of a company as that of an individual is a thing of value. A damaging libel may lower its standing in the eyes of the public and even its own staff make people less ready to deal with it, less willing or less proud to work for it. If this were not so corporations would not go to the lengths that they do to protect and burnish their corporate images.”'"

| "We refute all such allegations," Bradford's football manager Stuart Duffy said. "We certainly weren't aware of any at the time and we've no proof that any of our lads were involved."

He isn't suggesting the club did anything. I don't see how the club could even potentially be defamed. Longy refers to players, not the club. All the club needs to do is deny all knowledge.

If you don't see how alleging "loads of" its senior players gamble on the club's results potentially damages the good name and reputation of the club, then that's your problem. I reckon you're just being dumb.

That's slanderous. If it weren't true.

18821_1298880800.jpg [quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

| Quote: Jimmybull "[iMore revelations are expected in the book, which is officially published on Monday, and a spokesman for the RFL said the governing body were waiting for an opportunity to read a copy before making any comment.[/i
On radio Manchester last night Long said the R.F.L requested and were given a copy of the book two weeks ago!

That might be the best place to read it for a few people.

Along with 'Framing the Future', 'Overseas player quotas and regulations', 'minimum criteria for acceptance into Super League', 'how not to give benefit of the doubt to the attacking side - confessions of several video referees'...
