Last night I had a game against the bottom team in my League who have been thrashed in every game so far with -73 goal difference.
I had my team primed and ready, my 2 strikers (one of whom is the league leading scorer) licking their lips at the prospect of a hatful of goals to enhance my goal difference. Everyone on the max. Hard attacking option set and ready.
Kick-off arrives then.... Nothing.
A 3-0 victory awarded to me because the opponent could not get 11 eligible players ready.
No cricket score of goals.... No improved ratings..... No massively enhanced goal difference. One unhappy Manager.
Then today the same opponent is beaten 5-1 in their next game by my closest rival. Clearly they got a team together for that one just to spite me.
This situation of a 3-0 win is such a pain. I understand it in the Champions League but I was denied a chance to fill my boots against the league whipping boys. Ok I got 3 points but not the anticipated double figure score line.
Rant over........ And....... Relax.
