Im sure that had NOTHING to do with the final outcome either.........
How about when DCI offered The Troop money to go home, in the middle of the season, that year..............
I was there...the entire year.
I know exactly what happened.
I had a better "view" than anyone else of the whole thing.
Do not assume you know anything....especially if you "heard" about the Troop from that year.
And the exact phrase was "hooliganism and thuggery"
The penalty was the exact amount to keep The Troopers from making FINALS that year.
DCI knew what it was doing.
It was complete B.S.
