Squire Dastardly Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just read the Sam Baldock piece on the club web-site. He says Liera offered him money to miss the 2nd penalty. He then goes on to say that goals mean more to him than money. I should hope so too. If he scores enough goals he'll get the money anyway. The point is whether or not this was a serious attempt to offer a bribe. If it was then the matter should be referred to higher authorities. If it wasn't then I don't think Baldock should have mentioned it at all. Presumably the report was authorised, (if not ghost-written) by those who manage the official club website. Thoughts?

Gazred Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Wouldn't be football if you didn't try and put a player off taking a pen would it. Im sure most of what gets said is barely printable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lita For Congo Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Banter, mate. Didn't he give the penalty away? He was always going to try and put him off, especially as they are former team mates, i believe. I dont for one second think that there is anything in that at all.

JammyOne Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hang on a second... this was a joke between the Wednesday player and Baldock. Bribery? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire Dastardly Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 thats just part of the banter, I think you're probably right, in which case why mention it? Stunts and banter can have serious unforeseen consequences. Just ask those Aussie DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think you're probably right, in which case why mention it? Stunts and banter can have serious unforeseen consequences. Just ask those Aussie DJs Exactly. What would have happened if Baldock was excessively stupid, and thought it was serious? That's potentially two careers over, two clubs images damaged forever... Strange means to put someone off, in the current climate if corruption in sports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Seen it on player. My first thoughts were along the lines of; "tenner if you miss it sammy!". If thats what it was then harmless banter surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Typical misreporting. Baldock bribed Llera to get in the ref's face so he'd disallow their third "goal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Bribery comes before a game, not after or during a game. Just a throw away comment to put off the penalty taker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
