Who are the people that fixed the games? The directors?

And how did they get found out?

Such an interesting subject and so many questions I'd like answering tbh.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Police had intercepted phone calls from Milan, Juve, Fiorentina and Reggina and found that they had been selecting specific referees and giving instructions to treat them more favourably. I believe it was mainly the directors yeah and the players had no idea about it.

Ant, wasn't one of the board members of Juve heavily involved in the whole scandal, I think that's why there was no holding back with their punishment. A lot of clubs were involved in the scandal but I think someone in Juventus was more guilty than most.

The 2006 Italian football scandal (Italian more common names: Calciopoli or Moggiopoli, sometimes referred to as Calciocaos[1]) involved Italy's top professional football leagues, Serie A and Serie B. The scandal was uncovered in May 2006 by Italian police, implicating league champions Juventus, and other major teams including Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio, and Reggina when a number of telephone interceptions showed a thick network of relations between team managers and referee organisations. Juventus were the champions of Serie A at the time. The teams have been accused of rigging games by selecting favourable referees.

Teams had been found guilty of match fixing before in Italian football history. The most recent case in Serie A occurred in 1980 when A.C. Milan and S.S. Lazio were relegated to the division below the top division, Serie B. In Serie B, Genoa C.F.C. was forcibly relegated to Serie C/1 in 2005.

be thrown out of Serie A. Palazzi called for Juventus to drop to at least Serie C1 (his statement read that Juventus should be sent "lower than Serie B", without a specific division stated) and for Fiorentina and Lazio to at least Serie B. He also asked for points penalties to be imposed (6 for Juventus, 3 for A.C. Milan, and 15 for both Fiorentina and Lazio). The prosecutor also called for Juventus to be stripped of its 2005 and 2006 titles.[2]

In the case against Reggina on 13 August, the prosecutor called for Reggina to be demoted to Serie B with a 15-point penalty.[3] On 17 August Reggina's punishment was handed down: a 15-point penalty, but no relegation from Serie A.[4] Furthermore the club was fined the equivalent of £68,000, whilst the club president Pasquale "Lillo" Foti was fined £20,000 and banned from the game for 2½ years [5].


According to the court the conduct of team managers, considered in all the cases not a real match-fixing but a mere violation of sport loyalty principles, seemed to have, in case of Juventus, the effect to influence match results; whilst in the case of other teams the same effect was not considered so much evident. Juventus representatives considered this assumption totally arbitrary and never proved.

On July 26, FIGC declared Internazionale as the Italian Champion for the 2005-06 season.

Imagine having a title stripped from you...fucking hell. Poor fans.

Yeah, Luciano Moggi. Hence why the scandal often gets called Moggigate :D He got banned from football for years, as he was the main culprit and the man who there was the most evidence against. That again, is why Juve got screwed over the most I think. Milan got away very lightly.

Yeah I think nearly all the clubs involved bar Juve of course had their points deduction slashed a few games into the next season, Milan were let back into the CL but there was no mercy for Juventus.

Did the Inter fans celebrate that title?

The title shouldn't have gone to anyone ffs. I hate Inter Milan tbh.

They waited 2 decades for a title, but didn't really celebrate it as they didn't realistically win it. They celebrated the next season when they won it, but it's still marred imo as Juve probably would have walked the league again.

I think they should buy him to replace Del Piero.

More proof that your footballing knowledge is limited. Why would Cole replace Del Piero? That is a preposterous proposal. They already have a lamp post type striker in Amauri. (better than Cole) In Juve's system they play a creative player behind the front man. So they could buy Cassano to replace Del Piero or promote from within with Giovinco, not another fucking target man...

Sarcasm/tongue-in-cheek is clearly lost on you, again. It's a shame common sense is not in your repertoire, much like understanding of the game; Carlton Cole shit eh? :hysterics:
