BCFC11 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Watching Donny v Palace on BBC and they were interviewing Palace owner Steve Parish at HT, could just be me but he was talking the next round draw etc then comes out with ‘could be interesting as Brighton and Millwall are in our side of the draw’ struck me as very odd thing to say. Fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed? Heard that as well. Very very odd but nothing in it I’d have thought. The FA wouldn’t want/let Millwall be in the same half as Palace or Brighton for a start if it was!

Fixed? I reckon you've pretty much proved that isn't fixed. It's like pretty much all conspiracy theories - people just aren't competent enough to run secret conspiracies without people finding out. I suspect, rather than inadvertently blowing the whistle on a long-held cover up, Steve Parish just got his words mixed up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found it a very odd thing to say, another was Craig Bellamy telling everyone that Man City have Burton in the next round a day before the draw was even done.

That one was easy to explain, Man City & Burton both played their quarter finals on the same night. Bellamy made those comments straight after the Man City game.

I'm working on the assumption that, even if the football league had fixed the League Cup draw, they'd have no reason to tell Craig Bellamy. I think he was just making a 1 in 3 guess...
