Match fixing in Romanian football is called blat (plural blaturi). This term is specifically used in the football domestic competition called ''Liga I'' to explain a friendly agreement between two or more presidents of football clubs for fixing matches. Etymologically ''blat'' means "dough" and a term for designing clandestine travelling in a city bus (has no plural form). So a ''blătar'' fixes matches and a ''blatist'' travels without a bus ticket. ==Origin== Blats are more related with the period before the Romanian Revolution of 1989.. The Communist local and central administration had a decisive role in designating the teams who will play in the next season in the first division. Hence presidents agreed to help each other to avoid relegation from the first division. This informal and dirty association was called ''cooperativa'' (first used in 1992 by former international footballer and current football analyst Cornel Dinu from a term which designated the Communist system of agricultural common association) and was composed by 3 or maximum 5 influential presidents. In 1995 Dumitru Dragomir, a former president of Victoria Bucarest football team and the current long serving president of the domestic league LPF admitted during a televised debate to being formerly involved in such deals. Blat is also used by a term of "reciprocity" where two football chiefs accept that each of their team to win their home match in a direct confrontation of domestic champion round. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Match fixing in Romanian football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
