That's ok, I'm beginning to see a window into 5th, then you better be ready for the next few seasons!

You better do that to everyone in the playoff hint. Not cool. You lost my vote. You ruin training and game shape for people. Not Cool!

One of my good friends was undergoing chemotherapy and I forgot to set a lineup, my apologies. I would have fielded a team of 5 but I had very recently dropped some of the older players on my roster. Life is very busy at the moment for me. I have set up a new "use this lineup" so I dont plan on having any more forfeits. I dont think you had much of a chance at the first seed anyways, but I still apologize to everyone fighting for a playoff spot and to the Arizona Cacti specifically. I guess my friend's chemotherapy took priority over a game and your vote for me. Good luck the rest of the season.

I wasn't complaining about my seed. I just don't think its fair to people trying to get gameshape/training/wins + point differential. Sorry about your friend, my mother-in-law, just finished her treatment. That said, your not the only 1 who is busy. And sorry, but as a National Team coach, I have to hold you to a higher set of standards, especially when I tried like hell to get Devon Jones, to help out with the U21 and he wasn't good enough. And by possibly screwing up someone's training, I find it aggravating. I know your sorry, I accept that, but its not me you should be apologizing too. My gripe, is you CT'ed Cacti, and he only won by 11 points. You could have beating Team ZYX, but instead he got a 50 point victory. IF by some reason, they finish tied, and Team ZYX gets home court based on 38 points, thats kind of dinky. Sorry if this bothers you, or changes my thinking of me, I just had to get it off my chest.

It happens. Life that is. It isn't the norm for him or even a twice occurring event. He explained why it happened from a life side of things and a BB side of things.

But if he wants to throw his next game, as a sign of remorse, i will accept his apology.

I could understand you being upset if this had happened when I faced the New York Dragons but it is silly (and not to be rude but borderline idiotic) to think that I could have beaten Team ZYX. Had I set the lineup I was planning to my loss would have been 20-30 still. Team ZYX would still have over a 100 point PD lead so I dont think it really made that much of a difference. In addition to this you act as if Team ZYX has a lot of star studded trainees, where if you look at his team, he has a couple guys that he appears to be training lightly but mainly he has a lot of middle aged players (24-29). The only thing you could argue that I truly messed up would be his teams GS but the general belief is that the minute distribution for walkovers actually really helps with GS. This does change my thinking of you because there is a very large difference between me not setting a lineup because I was out watching a movie or hanging out with my family and a friend of mine that I have known for 16 years undergoing chemotherapy (for the 4th time btw) and me not setting a lineup. I should not be held to a higher standard simply because I decided to run again for the U21 NT (After arguably having one of the best terms an USA U21 NT manager has had). You should vote for me or against me based on my coaching style and results for the U21 Nt and that only. If you are voting on other things, you are not being an educated voter. I am a person just like you and mistakes happen. What I find aggravating is when you get caught up in a game and point out factors that dont actually affect the league standing and training of teams that much if at all and then state how I lost your vote for the U21 NT based on something that happened in personal league play based off of a mistake for a good real-life reason. That is what I find aggravating. Once again, have a lovely rest of your season.

I can't believe, you blew this out of proportion. The only thing I edited was, spelling of list to lost. But then I'm taking this too seriously. GTFO

3 days apart. You CT an away game, you guess right and you still think you had a chance to win? but the other game at home with a key injury, you didn't have a chance to win. Come on man, I'm not dumb.

Well, my training plan did get disrupted and GS dropped compare to previous weeks. But guess mainly because i wasn't expect to have two walkover games in a week.
