KO! Magazine can exclusively report that the Great Gobbo and the Green Tide are under official investigation for tampering with match balls. All match balls used in Fumbbl games must be inflated to 12.5 psi, however in a recent game against the Dirty Cranberries coach akaRenton complained to the officials that someone had been tampering with his teams footballs when on one passing play the ball floated out of the zombies hand (technically when the ball started to float away the zombie's hand snapped off at the wrist and so it never left his hand) and out of the stadium. Officials found that 11 of the Cranberries 12 match footballs had been filled with lighter than air marsh gas.

Supporters of the Tide claim that as they lost by such a big margin that the alleged tampering of the balls had no effect on the outcome of the game and that the whole situation should just be forgotten, but critics assert that cheating is cheating and something must be done.

Officials will also have to consider the Tide's previous conviction of espionage, when a member of Left My Heart In San Francisco was discovered to be an albino goblin feeding secret play information back to the Great Gobbo and the Tide.

The Great Gobbo was unavailable for comment.

*UPDATE*

At a press conference today the Great Gobbo denied all knowledge of any cheating or even what a football is. When pressed on the issue he stated:

"Look mush, I karnt be dun fer tamperin wiv der ball az dat bluddy skwirrel az ours most o der time! In fakt yer, it woz der skwirrel not me, or me chukka or der ball boyz or dat balloon venda oo looked a bit like Honest John, it woz der skwirrel. Now piss off!"
