All quiet on the Eastern Front

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but there really isn't much to report! Out of both cups at the Last 16 stage, and in the league we're midtable once again. Played 20, Won 6, Drawn 8, Lost 6. At this rate we could be in for another tight finish to achieve our aim of 12th place but until we get a bit closer to the end it's impossible to say.

The only thing that has livened it up a bit was a wonderful psycho keeper moment from Sebastien Martens. Early in the second half of a tense 0-0 game their goalie took a goal-kick and despite all my back four being in position Martens decided to run halfway to the halfway line and handle the ball! He received a red card for his troubles and we went on to lose 1-0, so I was pretty annoyed but in a funny way it actually restored a bit of my faith in the Match Engine. The fact that despite a situation like this happens very very very rarely (this is the first time I've seen it in 15+ years of playing CM/FM) SI have seen fit to code it in does lead me to think they've thought of most things. The ME has many flaws and the intense environment of PvP play shows these up cruelly as many teams look to exploit them, but still it's the best that's out there, and still it has the power to surprise so I've resolved to cut it some slack for a bit. Let's see how long that lasts... :p
