congrats
could do with updating the match results page with both team's TV at the start of the match and listing what inducements the underdog took

We actually do have the inducements in the report now just not parsed to the database.
As for the TV, the match report does show pre-match TV. It says 2130K vs 1340K.

oh yer couldn't see for looking
perhaps repeating it up where it has:
Home — Away
Teams: Social Outrats — Lily [P]
Coaches: funnyfingers — Lorebass
Races: Skaven — Amazon
adding the TV under the races would be better from a usability point of view

Nice one funny, will go watch this match now. Knowing Lorebass outside of the internet in the
real world this is quite amusing

Does the replay work? Curious as we did this in 2 parts.
Also I may add that he now had 16 players and now 11 players for the next match:)

Replay worked - very amusing

Amazing that after all this time, he still plays some teams in very odd ways. His first offensive drive was very much not what I would have done

The way you went on to dismantle his team was very impressive. I doubt he'll learn from it though...

Haha. Well you gotta remember my Skaven are nothing. So maybe he started with the attitude to underestimate me. But I gt extremely lucky right away and it snowballed from there.

Didn't look like luck to me. Having his ball carrier isolated trying to rush a TD when you had a wizard was unwise. Plus he spread his players out making it easier to take them out. Taking Stab-Stab and fouling a lot was a great tactic vs his AV7.

That and FunnyFingers' fouls just always seam to work better. He even has the confidence to foul with his Blitzers!

Actually the reason for that foul was because hey if I couldn't win with some luck how else could I win that match you know?

It wasn't a foul I'd have done, but I think the reason funny's fouls seem to work better is that he does them more - law of averages and all that.
