“In fact, it is you who saw the result as a draw, to me it was a win and I therefore pledge a token of appreciation and I’ll pay a match bonus for the draw.

“Normally, we pay bonuses for away draws, wins and home wins as a reward but for the game against Bendel Insurance I’m paying you a full match bonus.”
