fair enough gilly but I'm sure that you would say differently if Akal had finished 2nd. It would have been totally different if they didn't have a promotion game penciled in at the beginning of the season for the two 2nd place finishers.
Star #1,
I'd be lying to say that if we finished 2nd we would not have liked another opportunity for promotion, however, collectively we knew that 2nd place had no guarantees for promotion. At best, a 90 minute game to determine your fate after 6 months worth of time, practice, commitment with little pressure or no pressure to win. Besides, we all know that the "rules" within the VMSL can change at a moments notice.
To be honest, Serbia didn't deserve to be relegated last year, and were the best Division 1 team this year, we were just fortunate that things worked out the way they did, and I'm looking forward to watching your game vs the Olympics.
I'm just saying that the 12 team Premier this year has been very good from top to bottom, and at least for next year with 14 teams, I believe that that gap between the top tier and the bottom tier will be expanded.
Regardless, I wish you luck in your promotion game and I'm predicting a Serbian win.
Gilly
