Subject: Wow...

I didn't realize losing a qualifier had such an effect on supporter mood. I didn't win my promotion match, and my fans went from "madly in love with the club" to "furious."

big loss + shutout...

Yeah, but I've never had a movement that large in fan mood before, and I've been shutout by big margins.

I must say I find that extremely unrealistic. I lost my qualifier as I knew I would since my team is just not strong enough to move to A yet. So my fans drop all the way down from 5 to 2 (depressed) and I get no new subscriptions this week? What is the point of winning my league then? I knew going in my team would not be strong enough to move to A, so I would have been better off financially to tank a game earlier in the season and come in second in my league so as not to have to play a qualifier. It makes no sense to penalize a team for doing well.

By winning your league, you probably got 15-20 supporters and higher payments each week. By losing your qual match, you drop off a bit for 2 weeks. You make MUCH more than you lose by winning your league and then not promoting.

Watched the game later in the NIGHT, i was too sad about the outcome of the other PATS game

I guess the 2 red cards help that big score. Before the first red card i was already up 3-0 to my surprise: PAschalis in unsatisfactory form scored too easily IMHO, he missed 2 PK and shoot 16 times overall. In matter of shoots: i count at least 4 shoots by Di MAria but the report, reported only 2. Is it because he was set as MID and what i thought looks like a shoot was actually a bad pass??

It's not the loss of supporters that hurts you, but the supporter mood kills your end of season bonus money. Teams that finished 4th or 5th in the same league will get more end of season money than the league champ who loses a qualifier, and that's just wrong.
