Motherwell should be investigated for match fixing by UEFA

Motherwell, who consistently end up second in Scotland, have now gone 10 matches without a win in European competition.

Before somebody comes in and says "Scotland sucks," Scottish clubs outside of Motherwell and Hibs (embarrassed last year before getting relegated), normally do at least decently in the early playoff rounds (this year St. Johnstone and Aberdeen have advanced). Before McCall became manager, even Motherwell performed well in Europe.

This season deserves special attention. They played Icelandic club Stjarnan (sp?), a part-time club whose matches are played in a public park. Over the two legs, Motherwell Midfielder Lasley conceded three penalties.

Why are they match fixing? The pre-group rounds of UEFA competitions cost more money to clubs than they bring in. Motherwell has decided that going out early is better than going out later. They also know that UEFA won't look into them. It's shameful. UEFA, do your job.
