if i'd paid a goalkeeper to throw a match

and he'd fouled the opposing striker when it was easier to let him score (and less suspicious because if Carroll hadn't got himself sent off people would only be looking at him due to his gambling history) i'd be asking him what he was doing

i'd also be very pissed off if that goalkeeper really thought the best way he could influence the match is by making sure he was no longer on the pitch - particularly if the fix then went tits up
