Day 25 - Palace teams report (2/2).
Palace Casuals were at home against 9th in the League, and packing a 3.0Q advantage, but the game thoiught otherwise and goals from Maarten Weigman and Massimiliano Gerini weren't enough to stop the home side crashing to a 2-3 defeat.
Having lost to their Champions League opponents in the 1st Leg of the Semi-Final, Palace Terriers were on a mission to score three goals, but a combination of hard-defence orders by the opposition (who didn't bother to turn up) and the Nordeus machine, again, thwarted their ambitions. Out at the Semi-Final of the CL, again, 0-2 on aggregate.
Not much hope in the Cup Final - perhaps the Management should set up a defensive formation, hard-defending with counter and not attend - that seems to be the recipe for a win against higher Quality opponents nowadays. So much for the skill element...

Day 26 - Palace Terriers Cup report
Pre-match summary read that Palace Terriers were 105%, their opponents were 114.5% and 1 Level higher, so 4-4-2 Classic, hard-defending, force counter, mixed passing, mixed focus was selected in response to the opponents 5-3W-2 formation. The Management was out and about this morning, and arrived back to log in to TE with 59 minutes played. Terriers were 1-0 up, a friend was patiently supporting, and the opposition manager absent. Possession and defensive bonuses activated for the last 30 minutes, and a couple of poorly-performing players substituted. Terriers won 1-0...

At least it is not 3 hours after a match. I just played my Cup final. It was fixed around 3 hours after a league match, while the opponent did not play any match before on that day. The league match could not be moved (no pencil/pen sign).
By the way, I lost the final 3-0. The team was slightly weaker visually. I used 2 sets of proper counter tactics. Both failed. Match fixed? Most probably, yes. Indications were already there that the game was going to favour the opponent significantly.
Never mind. It is a good thing in some sense because I had already seen enough of unacceptable things happening in this game. This just added to the rest. So, it will be one more reason for me to quit this game.![]()
