    The problem with giving a gift out to those watching and supporting games is that it is open to so much manipulation.

    Users on here have posted screen shots and talked before about how they have been up against people who have had 6/7/8 other people watching against them - and most times its felt that its the opposition manager logging into other accounts to boost his main team.

    By giving a token or treatment out for watching games those that cheat in such a way would in theory be able to create as many accounts as time would allow, then watch the dummy accounts with their main accounts to boost their treatments or token counts.

    In theory, it sounds a good idea, but sadly this game has proven that some people will do anything to get an advantage and it would be too open for exploitation.

    Getting rid of the "1 gift limit" was only a suggestion since it would require spending actual time in the game to earn. Maybe an advert could play at half time that would justify the gift? I'm sure IP tracking is already used with advert playing, so they could set limits with that as well.

    Wondering if I took the time to type out that fancy formation? Nah, check out my python script!
