The Penalty

A part-time footballer is offered cash to throw an important game. Will he do it? Colin MacDonald's play gives a touch line view of the controversy surrounding sport and gambling.

By Colin MacDonald.

A part-time small town footballer, newly redundant, is offered 拢10,000 to throw a Scottish Cup-tie by a Far East betting syndicate. He could carve out a new future for himself and his young family. But it would mean betraying his team-mates, his town and the game itself. Will he do it?

A timely play that gives a touchline view of the controversy surrounding sport and gambling.
