Basically, I believe that we shouldn't be at the point where we are using the opposition's antics as an excuse. We shouldn't be saying that we aren't qualifying because of these antics as the truth is we are not qualifying because we aren't playing well enough. Any time spent on other poor excuses is, to me, an absolute waste of time and hurts us in the long run. We need to completely dedicate ourselves to fixing the core issues as this is the only way to guarantee future success.

This does put us at a disadvantage in the short-term but I feel it is a worthy sacrifice in order for us to not get hung-up on what I see as excuses and distractions.
