Feels like refereeing has been questionable for a long time now in the premire league but could premier matches be rigged now? The way Thiago Silva played today has got me thinking whether it’s all intentional.

    As someone who works alongside the betting industry, the idea that bookmakers want matches to be rigged is a non starter. Bookmakers make loads of money from football without the games being rigged. If they were match fixing involved the bookmakers would be the ones who lose out, firstly they would be the ones being taken for a ride on the individual fixture, secondly it would undermine faith in the system and punters would be less likely to make bets.
