VMT

But it’s one thing ‘fixing’ a game against an opponent who is in agreement or doesn’t care. Quite another when they want the opposite. Could get quite farcical but don’t think it will because we’ll choose to take the win

      - conversely a multi goal gubbing of the belgiums would be ruinous for us (Other Football) - Tombs, Jun 27, 21:29:03

        so belgium bung out their second string and beat our best team and that's deemed good? (Other Football) - Tombs, Jun 27, 21:37:04
        
        No, but this is something we should've planned for earlier (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jun 27, 21:48:20

        We could rest the first team. But we won’t. (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 27, 21:20:43
        
        that'd be quickly fixed with a win vs Sen/Jap/Col in the 16s (n/m) (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jun 27, 21:20:26
