Day 7 - Palace Casuals report.

A day of wildly conflicting fortunes for the Palace senior team.

First off, a Champions League Group match away against a team +1 Level and +2.8Q, so few neutrals saw any profit in it for the Casuals, but Massimiliano Gerini thought otherwise, single-handedly destroying the home defence with a well-taken hat-trick as the Casuals ran out 3-0 winners.

Three hours, two training sessions and a liberal application of green packs later, the Casuals were away at 2nd place in the League. Maarten Wiegman scored the visitors' goal, but there the positives end. Two red cards, the second one the Management tried to prevent but the substitution took too long to be actioned (see http://forum.topeleven.com/bugs-tech...red-cards.html ) - requested in about 69th minute and still not actioned by the 82nd minute?
