Turkish football match-fixing exposed by telephone tap

When German police announced last November that they'd arrested 15 people whom they suspected of having fixed more than 200 football matches in Europe over the previous few months, many commentators muttered darkly about this being the tip of the iceberg.

That iceberg has now become slightly more visible after the police in Turkey this week arrested more than 40 people, also in connection with match-fixing.

They included several big names in Turkish football, including the former international Arif Erdem.

Erdem, who now coaches at the Turkish premier league club Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyespor, has since been released and denies the allegations. Among those now charged, according to Turkish websites, is Recep Ozturk, a goalkeeper who plays for Konyaspor.

does this have anything to do with Bursaspor being in 1st place??? because i dont understand that right now...

No Drakos it is mostly from old years and they didn't do the match-fixing to change the rank it was for ''bet game''. They were doing it mostly with 1st league teams, they were arranging the goalkeepers or deffance players, to finalise the game with a score many goals like 3-0 or 4-0 so other members were betting from Germany with online betting for a score 3-0 or 4-0. they were playing for this score with a amounth like at least 50.000 Euro-100.000 Euro.

After Bursaspor lost 2 points to Galatasaray in Istanbul, Fenerbahce got the leadership of the league. Now Fener is 1st with 1 point difference.

Bursaspor has a great Coach ''Ertugul Saglam'', they play patinely, team game and they have the support of the all Bursa City with 3 milion population. They still beleive to be Chmp.

This week they will pass by so 3 points and Fenerbahce will play against ''Ankaragucu'' in Ankara which is sister club of Bursaspor...

Thanks to Galatasaray, Fenerbahce started to have perfect season (after Won to Galatasaray in Istanbul they improved their motivation), Fenerbahce Woman Volleyball Team played final in Europe Cup. Woman Basket Team won to Galatasaray at the final-1. Shortly they have good season. However this week they lost to Trabzonspor at the Tukish Cup, this is the 28th year they cant get won the cup:)...

On the other hand please see golkeeper of Eskisehirspor (Vanja Ivesa who is a good G.K.) with 2.05 meter high not to able to save this ball is strange!! First Goal was his mistake too...
