German Football: We want our money back!

The German Football Association (DFB) are being asked by a group of Hamburg SV fans for a refund for last year's Cup game at SC Paderborn after revelations that the game was fixed.

This is just the latest twist in a scandal that is rocking German Football to its very core (and would be covered in full on here if both my German writers weren’t quite as lazy).

Fan site www.HSV-SC.de has made a downloadable form available to fans who wish to claim their money back.

DFB co-president Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder claimed on Thursday that referee Robert Hoyzer had manipulated Hamburg's 4-2 defeat to favour betting on the match.

Should either of the German writers on this site get their bloody fingers out updates will follow.
