The bad part is it may very well have robbed Joola of a point. We were 1-1 before the switch.

'Fortunately', if I can use such a word in this case, Joola's guys were unlikely to challenge Fortuna for 537k prize money spot anyway. What it does do is give Stallion a larger window of opportunity to snatch Joola's current 215k prize, which would only knock Brazuca down to 86k and no further, as the chasing pack are too far behind to make the damage worse. So, it may cost Joola 130k or thereabouts, it may cost him nothing, but it very firmly shuts the door on his slim hope of taking 537k.
However, with this violation, the league tables the PL records (taking violations into account) will push Brazuca up to 4th after @vgates' slip. Not too bad at all.

more or less certain to meet my preseason goals, 5th in league and survival in pl. have a small chance of my extreme goals, promotion and top half p/l, but need the 2nd place team to take a loss, which is still possible.
