“OK, so this is where i get to say "I TOLD YOU SO!" =)
Let me explain.... after going 1-0 down in the first half, we set up, and fortuitously manage to win the ball and have ourselves in an easy position to equalise..... so i decide that doing so and resetting would probably result in a 2-1 loss (being as it was turn 2 second half...) and proceed to stall for the draw.....
......Yeah, i know you are all looking at me like i'm some sort of freak for even suggesting that, but i know my limitations as a coach, and i could see what was coming.
Emphasy attempted to convince me that he stood no chance, and that if i scored i would even be able to win the match.......... after 4 turns of this i eventually cracked, feeling ever so dirty for my horrid bout of stalling. With 2 turns remaining, i reasoned, surely they would not score?
Yeah right. They ran out 2-1 winners, just as i had predicted. next time i need to stall, i'm going to stall =)
