Season 105 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

OK, here's one for the 'Results are pre-determined' conspiracy theorists...

Match today, at home vs one-time League leader whose Quality has been overtaken somewhat by teams that have been improving their playing squad.



Playing 4-5-1V vs visitors' 4-2-2-2 Hexagon, passing via flanks, but getting nowhere. Management ponder their options at the half-time break and at the 50th minute game pause, decide to change to passing through the middle.

If the result is predetermined how did the game:
a) know whether I was going to attend the match or not;
b) if I did attend, know that I was going to make a tactic change at that point in time.
