BETWEEN THE FIXES AND THE OFFICIATING...:

Four League Two players suspended after betting on match (Mirror.co.uk, 22/07/2009)

Disciplinary chiefs have expressed "serious concerns" that a Football League match may have been fixed after four players were banned for between five months and a year for betting on the outcome.

The four players have been suspended and fined after betting on the outcome of the League Two match between Accrington and Bury on May 3 2008 - three of the players were with Stanley at the time and the other at Bury, who won the game 2-0.

...you end up with a game where folks lack confidence in the fairness of the results.
