Who started this thread?! I opened it thinking it was a thread about an actual sport, football, and find it is just about that other so-called Euro-activity.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP)—The owner of FC Arges and the head of Romania’s referee committee have been arrested on bribery charges related to match fixing.
FC Arges’ Cornel Penescu and referee chief Gheorghe Constantin were taken into custody Tuesday for 29 days pending an investigation in the southern city of Pitesti, where FC Arges is located, following a day of questioning by anti-corruption prosecutors.
The two face up to 15 years in prison if found guilty of paying or receiving bribes.
An investigation that began in 2008 alleged that Penescu paid sums ranging from $3,980 to $71,675 to four Romanian clubs to fix matches in FC Arges’ favor, Pro Sport newspaper reported.

Scrapper, I particularly liked this line from the blog..... "Meanwhile, I'll run and walk along a nearby semi-desolate route I've found, looking to see whether anyone's watching and then calling fouls and violations on flowers."

Practice, practice, practice!

Sorry, Amesman, that's the only one I read regularly. And the only reason that I even know of it is that the blogger used to be a regular poster to this forum. I don't even know of any other basketball officiating blogs. Sorry
