So a Div.3 team PMed me asking for a Monday friendly ? I replied, only if we WNWIM as I have a cup game Wednesday, he agreed n I accepted the request.

final score was 23-28 to him and he LTNT, I'm not impressed

Look at the bright side, at least it was only a friendly and nothing important and now you know never to trust him. Its why i never do WNWIM agreements

TheJims

You're in Div IV right ? If I was you I'd be happy that your WNWIM lost within a try of his LTNT. No doubt you can return the favour when you get promoted and he gets demoted!

Just checked your match there Thejims, the other guy is on the offsite and he's also running for journalist.

disgraceful in a friendly to do that, in a league/cup match more understandable as its a competitive fixture.

friendlies are about testing team, getting youngsters more gametime etc imo. not ltnt'ing (ever!) especially when an agreement is struck.

its the reverse for me. way worse to cheat like that in competitive game cause theres something at stake. who really cares about monday friendlies, like you said there just for IGT or experiment with tactics.

Yeah, to be honest I don't care about the score in Monday friendlies. As far as I'm concerned, LTNT away. Just a really weird thing to do on his part. So weird possibly a mistake?

I mean why go to the effort of a WNWIM agreement in a friendly just to renegade on it hours later?

@TheJims, I'd be bloody delighted at that result though, LTNT v WNWIM should be a thumping!!! never mind Div 3 v Div 4..

I'd just be able to understand it more if it was a competitive game, not that I would be happier getting screwed! But in competitive games its a risk you take, in friendlies I would not expect it at all.

but yes as the others have said the result is fantastic for you jim!!:D

TheJims

Yeah you guys r right! I was annoyed as it woulda been a confidence booster of a win, but even in loosing it was a great result!

After thinking about it, it would be insane for an 8th place div iii team to LTNT against a div iv team in a friendly! ... he musta just forgetting to change tactics... his tired team will hurt him in the long run :P

corny

I don't even check the score of Monday friendlies any more. Don't see the big deal tbh.

I only do that to my brother. Given the option between beating him and staying in DIII for another season I would happily take the drop.:D

Friendly for Monday anyone?

As for the ltnting a wnwim agreement, it is very uncool. But it has to have been a mistake, I can't bring my head around it otherwise.

Ah I'm going 2nd string/ 3rd string on this. I don't really know how I've started to develop a 3rd string team, I think I was planning on youngsters, but then they just grew up. Jerks.
