#9 Murray Hookchin – Dead (RIP)
“If you like to play against headhunting coaches because you know it will greatly increase your chances at winning, I'd advise you play Petter. On the other hand if you'd like a challenge...
**********************************************************
Petter, I don't know why you think you are born to whine, when you hardly complained all game. But since you are hard on yourself and I have a feeling you could desperately use them, I'll give you a few tips in tactics:
1) You can only do 2 GFIs in a turn. I'm not sure if you know this. But when you state I could have scored on turn 3 or so, it has me wondering if you know this rule.
2) 8 KOs is not crippling a team especially when they've got 16 players to start. You were expecting 2 sets of recovery from KO rolls (T8 1st half & halftime), thus you'd likely get back 6 players to start the second half for a total of 14 players. But you rolled much better than average and started with even more than that.
3) Fouling to take out a key player can be helpful, especially when you know your opponents will be come back from half-time with a full roster. Fouling when the "eye is on you" and the ball is lying on the ground within reach is very rarely going to help you win.
4) Claiming that you "went for the tie" when there is a replay that everyone can watch, which can prove that you went "headhunting" isn't going to do wonders for your reputation.
5) Claiming that Fouling when the "eye is on you" and the ball is lying on the ground within reach, a "bad call" tends to insult people's intelligence.
I hope these help.

Watch the replay. Evo spent the entire first half steamrolling my team, causing my apoth to go and giving me 8 KOs. He could easily have scored in turn 3 or so, but opted to try to cause maximum damage when going into the second half. Nothing wrong about this, but his remark becomes rather silly in the light of this. (When I had 3 players on the field, he gathered up 4-5 elves around my +ST amazon linewoman and fouled her to a niggling injury).
In the second half, a few turns in, I decided I had very low chances at actually winning the game - so I went for the tie. Some bad decisions made me lose the game, I wasn't very concentrated and I did some bad calls.
It's pretty bad manners being very insulting to your opponent, which I think is what Evo is displaying here. God knows I've done it myself, and apologized (like Mr-Klipp said - Beer and Bloodbowl don't mix).
All in all this was a game where I had 2 players standing in the end of 1st half and still I almost got a tie, and no permanent injuries. Since Evo had started fouling I fouled him twice (hehe thrice perhaps, :) my blood was boiling!) in the second half... but I guess some people are born to whine.
