What I wanted to tell you is, that even if sb gives you an explanation, it would be a useless one - mainly because we cannot see the "inner workings" and have to accept it anyway.

Every now and then one of those "OMG how did this happen"-threads appears and tbh. we never get clear explanations or guidlines how we can avoid those things. I had a game where my sub player did not get proper minutes and all I was told is that it was a bug - not why or even how I can avoid it - I have to accept it because it happens every now and then.

But I understand you want to know what happened there.

I had a player that made me rage-quit this game for a few months, (21244418) - season 17 tells stories. You will NEVER see such a behaviour in real life - and still we see and enjoy those BB-"features"...

I already know BB is full of many odd occurrences, I've read the forums enough to know that. I just want to know if what happened to my player was supposed to happen or not. Seeing as what happened to my player was basically the equivalent of a player who is being trained fouling out against a bot team in 9 minutes

edit: I have looked at your player in season 17 and yea that is a lot of foul outs. Maybe he was a foul prone guy? Now take a couple of minutes and look at my guy. Never had a game with more than 2 fouls. All of a sudden, 6 fouls in 9 minutes, at least your player followed the norm and continuously had high amounts of fouls.

We cannot replicate real life completely, as much as we try, because in real life no team would have started playing a match fielding only 5 players with no backups or reserves. Maybe your player wouldn't have fouled out if he had "cooled down" a bit on the bench? I guess we'll never know. Our policy is not to support 48 minutes per game per player lineups, and if something weird happens in such cases, so be it. It's a risk, it's unpredictable and it's not recommended.

He's been playing C the whole season. I don't see any difference between this game and any other game this season except the fact that this game was a walkover. That's why I was so surprised with the foul out.

There may be a backstory here. Maybe the ref's also named Joshua Calder, and the player-Calder took the twitter name JoshuaCalder, so the ref-Calder has to use Joshua_Calder, and he's resented him ever since.

Okay, maybe not a walkover in the technical sense, but quite close... Inactive manager that hasn't touched his team from the day s/he signed up for BB...

It really looks like I'm gonna have to accept that the ref just doesn't like Calder for that game because Calder hasn't had foul troubles playing defence as C ever except that one game. Hope the ref in tonight's game isn't named Lars Intek....
