Former EPL referee reveals role in booking scam
A former referee in the English Premier League has admitted to going along with a request to deliberately book a player back in 2011. Mark Halsey, who retired at the end of the 2012/13 season, told CNN Sport on Thursday: “(The player) just said ‘listen, look, we’ve got a game Tuesday. If I don’t get cautioned now and get one Tuesday, I’ll miss the big derby on Saturday’,” he added. “So he just asked me if I could show a yellow. And I did actually. I said to him, ‘Alright, we’ve got 10 minutes to go, when I give a free-kick against you’ — and I knew I would because he’s that sort of player — ‘just leather the ball 50 yards away and I can caution you for dissent’.”
