Rosedale Open Match day 7 ======

Grunts United - Saturday Morning FC 3 : 1 Scorers: Cantrip (11., 66.) ***Squirtle (16.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Optimus Prime, Quickdraw McGraw Grunts end their winless run with this defeat of the 2Ds in a very even match at Shraaaag Memorial Stadium.

Monkey Business - Mishima Zaibatsu 1 : 5 Scorers: Rum Rogers (19.) *** (43., 80.), Asuka Kazama (19., 62.), Wolverine (16.) Booked: --- ***Jean Grey Monkey Business had failed to notice the governor being suspended, and it was 10 o'clock. The Kazamas didn't need to be asked twice, and bagged two each for a strong away win at the SCUMM Bar.

Gangsters United - Camarilla Divided 1 : 1 Scorers: B-gjengen (51.) ***Paige 'Heihei' Duff (18.) Sent off: Tony Blundetto (48.) ***--- I'd say! The Mobsters were rather chanceless at their own home ground, but apparently, Generation X had used up all their karma for a while, and gets robbed of a point by the men in red we all love, B-Gjengen.

Batt in Blax - Sale Savoyards 2 : 1 Scorers: Andre Adams (41.), Matt Horne (23.) ***Fitzbattleaxe (37.) The Black Caps had to do without their manager this match, but got lucky and won against the run of play.

Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - World Ambassadors 2 : 1 Scorers: Pepper (3.), Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (10.) ***Dog (89.) Booked: Assurancetourix, Nanny Ashtoreth, Warlock Dowling ***Tomas Nicolaisen The home advantage proved decisive in this rather even match at Tadfield Manor. We expect a rough revenge at the World Hotel in a few weeks!

Dangermouse - Call of Cthulhu 0 : 4 Scorers: --- ***Daoloth (12., 35., 59., 85.) Booked: --- ***Cyaegha Without managerial guidance, the Mouseketeers were chanceless against the Lurking Fear, lead by Daoloth who decided the game on his own.

Rosedale Open Match day 8 ======

Call of Cthulhu - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Jaime Hernez (41.) Pretty close to a goalless draw at Arkham Asylum, but the Apocalypse had a little play, and managed to convert that into a somewhat lucky one goal win.

World Ambassadors - Batt in Blax 2 : 0 Scorers: Scott Troemel (63.), Dog (86.) ***--- Booked: Carmine Zuigiber ***--- Still without a manager, Batt in Blax had little chance at the World Hotel - play against one goal, and the conversion rate of the Stabbers was abysmal.

Sale Savoyards - Dangermouse 16 : 0 Scorers: Goldbury (8 goal$s), Fitzbattleaxe (4., 10., 51., 56., 81.), Aline (9., 19., 34.) ***--- Pretty easy to see which team didn't have their manager present! Sale Savoyards dominated completely.

Mishima Zaibatsu - Gangsters United 2 : 4 Scorers: (75., 85.) ***Little Carmine (70., 83.), Nina Myers (22.), Svarte Petter (65.) Booked: Jean Grey, Kazuya Mishima, Wolverine ***Dr. Evil, Svarte Petter The Mobsters get their revenge for the cup match, with this fine win at the Iron Fist Tournament, despite playing in an apprentice!

Camarilla Divided - Grunts United 3 : 1 Scorers: Bill the Mighty Brujah (90.), Catherine 'Secrets' Blum (9.), Sebastien 'Decisive' Gibraltar (69.) ***Terry Toopatch (1.) A fairly straightforward win for Generation X, still leading very comfortably on their way to a second league title.

Saturday Morning FC - Monkey Business 3 : 0 Scorers: Fred Flintstone (8., 68.), Squirtle (59.) ***--- Booked: Fat Albert, Optimus Prime ***--- A strategic victory for the 2Ds, giving them a good chunk of breathing room between them and the relegation line.

Lexington League Match day 7 ======

Dead Dino Storage - Rosedale Quest 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (24.) Booked: Porcupine Tree ***--- The Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus barely eeks out a few chances, and with one goal from the unicorn, they get a fairly deserved away win. the Ancients - Really New Bremen Cyberdruids 4 : 0 Scorers: Rhamphorhynchus (65., 73.), Opisthocoelicaudia (51., 55.) ***--- Not even funny - table top with full score against bottom team with no points. If someone doubted the outcome of this match, I want some of that they must have been smoking.

Ajax - Desassossego Blues 2 : 6 Scorers: Charisteas (11.), Babel (16.) ***Vicente Guedes (1., 15., 29., 47., 90.), Fernando Pessoa (77.) Booked: Mitea ***--- The Blues are charging towards the promotion zone whereas Ajax fights against relegation. This match demonstrated why.

Sleep Wanderers - First Men of Rome 13 : 12 Scorers: Thessaly (7 goal$s), Despair (17., 38.), Death (14.), Collin Weir (60.), Glob (81.), Delirium (10.) ***Virgil (34., 44., 65., 90.), Horace (16., 24., 55.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (8., 41.), Marcus Livius Drusus (29., 80.), Spartacus (30.) Toga Boys manager Moes figured this'd be a nice time to play in new talents, which he may regret when he sees the result... :)

Les Gaulois - The 5 Percent Community 4 : 2 Scorers: Joerre Kjemperud (7., 59.), Abraracourcix (40.), (73.) *** Eirik Hillestad (26.), Finn Orjan Saele (54.) Sent off: --- ***Arne Sandsto (7.) Booked: --- ***Chim Kjolner, Christer George, Sture Fladmark Les Gaulois haven't given away any points at Baborum this season, and didn't here either, despite ferociously fighting Greedy Retards.

Dial Square FC - Flaaklypa FK 2 : 2 Scorers: Ljunberg (15.), Fabregas (45.) ***Emanuel Desperados (25., 71.) Booked: --- ***Roger Jurtappen The home advantage evened out the difference between the teams, and a draw was the fairest representation of the match.

Lexington League Match day 8 ======

Flaaklypa FK - Les Gaulois 1 : 0 Scorers: Emanuel Desperados (52.) ***--- Les Gaulois was actually quite unlucky not to get at least one point from this match, but Flaaklypa shows good form winning on a bad day, and keep up in the promotion race.

The 5 Percent Community - Sleep Wanderers 14 : 3 Scorers: Chim Kjolner (5., 63., 68., 80., 85.), Finn Orjan Saele (15., 27., 36., 60.), Christer George (25., 54., 90.), Eirik Hillestad (7., 29.) *** Death (63., 87.), Thessaly (35.) Falling asleep at Straume Bedehus only leads to someone whispering scary things into your ear, and given Chim Kjolner scored five times, the Night Terrors were probably quite drunk as well.

First Men of Rome - Dial Square FC 6 : 5 Scorers: Horace (24., 66., 73., 87.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (39.), Titus Flavius Vespasianus (14.) ***Fabregas (16., 27., 68.), Ljunberg (57.), Flamini (48.) Booked: --- ***Flamini, Vieira The Toga Boys edges out a win in a perfectly even match at the Colosseum, and stumbles on in the promotion race.

Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Ajax 4 : 3 Scorers: Dominic 'Victim' Hobson (8., 86.), Chris Standbracker (34.), Gregory (17.) ***Charisteas (30., 51.), Sneider (35.) Booked: --- ***Heitinga The Cyberdruids get their first points of the season in a very even match at Rosewood Cemetary. The home advantage made the home team ever so slightly stronger, but a draw would have been a more fair result.

Desassossego Blues - Dead Dino Storage 2 : 0 Scorers: Vicente Guedes (61.) ***--- Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Mark Byzewski, The Door Shut Properly The Blues show skill to go along with their ambition, and grab another two deserved points at home at Athena Stadium.

Rosedale Quest - the Ancients 3 : 0 Scorers: Goalscorer Golem (34., 89.), Offside Orc (20.) ***--- Booked: Yellow Goal Elemental ***--- The Goalscorer Golem lives up to his own hype, and score twice against the Oldtimers! In fact, the only shot the away team had on goal, was a long range free kick.

Berkeley Conference Match day 7 ======

Odd Athletics - Car Park Rangers 8 : 8 Scorers: Odd Nordstoga (20., 64., 72.), Odd O. Occean (28., 51., 79.), Odd Harald Rex (13.), Odd Feet (83.) ***Logan (2., 57.), Number Four (15., 44.), Scott Summers (77., 86.), Bobby Drake (25.), Jay Garrick (83.) Booked: --- ***Scott Summers Table-toppers Powers come to Strangeworld looking for points, and claim a very deserved one, being closer to winning than the Weirdoes in this incredibly goal-rich match.

Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Nen Ires, Tisik Reten Marvel Comics attempted to field twice, but subtracting one of them, they still had full control against Lords. the Blitzball Team - Sheffield Thursday 0 : 5 Scorers: --- ***Brian Strandskov (19., 27., 48., 88.), Michael Richard (39.) the Blitzballers decided to give the future some thought, and fielded a full set of new talents. Of course, the Owls were too much opposition to claim points from the match when doing that.

Brazil Star Conquerors - Jedi Order 7 : 1 Scorers: (52., 75., 86.), Aldair (32., 41.), Richard Ripley (48.), (37.) ***Mace Windu (14.) Booked: Aldair, Rivaldo ***--- A top match at ER's Arena tonight, but with the Lightside missing manager Darth Vehusheia, they only played well for the first half hour, leading 1-0 - then Brazil started scoring, and just kept doing that for the rest of the match.

Dummys - Monster Time 1 : 3 Scorers: Vegetarian Food (79.) ***IT! (14., 38., 63.) Booked: --- ***IT!, Them! Seldom has fighting spirit been so decisive - the home team was originally stronger, but Monster manager Setzer throws everything around with well placed rough points, and wins deservedly.

Twin Peaks Owls - Pocket Valley Philosophers 1 : 0 Scorers: Audrey Horne (45.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Anaximander Twin Peaks' survival ambitions get another boost with a solid home win against the Drunken Thinkers.

Berkeley Conference Match day 8 ======

Pocket Valley Philosophers - Dummys 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Pineapple (29.), Tomatoes (74.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: --- ***Infrared Banana, Red Pepper, Stains Dummys avenge their loss in the first round with not letting the Drunken Thinkers out of their own half at the Pocket Valley Bowl. Play against one goal.

Monster Time - Brazil Star Conquerors 4 : 11 Scorers: Blob (6., 27., 31.), The Hand (28.) ***Rivaldo (13., 33., 44., 76., 89.), Roberto Carlos (46., 54., 71.), Aldair (7., 20.), Richard Ripley (23.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Rivaldo the Monsters were taking an unafraid approach to the match, but were penaltised hard for that by in-form 5-Stars.

Jedi Order - Twin Peaks Owls 2 : 0 Scorers: Obi-Wan Kenobi (6.), Mace Windu (15.) ***--- The Lightside didn't need guidance in a galaxy far, far away - they simply took an early lead and held on to it throughout, for a deserved win.

Lords - the Blitzball Team 1 : 0 Scorers: Nen Ires (11.) ***--- Lords eek out two points from an even match at Sentjane Arena.

Sheffield Thursday - Odd Athletics 3 : 6 Scorers: Dave Kaplan (55., 71.), Mark White (17.) ***Odd O. Occean (6., 52., 79.), Jigglypuff (63.), Odd Harald Rex (26.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Brian Strandskov, Chris Tabay ***--- The Weirdoes have had a great weekend, finishing it here with crushing the Owls at Hillsborough Stadium - the win could easily have been larger than this.

Car Park Rangers - Marvel Comics 4 : 0 Scorers: Number Four (12., 70.), Scott Summers (41.), Kyle Rayner (17.) ***--- Table-toppers Car Park Rangers didn't need to worry about the non-existant Marvel Comics pressure, and instead could just comfortably jot ball after ball into the packed box, giving them four goals over the course of the game.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 7 ======

Sofia Inseminaters - FC Mokum 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Advocaat (83.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Frankie Holly, Jan van Jeerk ***--- the Nerds were outplayed at home at the Lab by in-form Mock-ups.

Fluffy Bunny Eaters - Coventry 3 : 0 Scorers: Giggles jr. (52.), Cuddles jr. (18.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Jacques Renault Manager Brill have turned the Tubbies from a hopeless dumped crap team to a team fighting for promotion, and Coventry was the team to taste their juniors tonight.

Knights of the Round Ball - Scrubs 4 : 9 Scorers: Gwynn son of Esni (18., 37.), Maelwys son of Baeddan (5.), Thathal Honest Deceitful (55.) ***Lonnie (2., 15., 29., 81.), JD (29., 77.), Carla (12., 78.), Turk (39.) Booked: --- ***Elliot The top two face off at Mabinogian, and Scrubs showed they wanted the win a lot more, dominated completely, and won deservedly.

Furinkan Matsudai Doshitemo - Norwegian Vikings 14 : 1 Scorers: Mysil Bergsprekken (1., 21., 43., 51., 57.), Lukkusai (23., 67., 72.), John Milardovic (30., 33., 62.), Russ Bynum (80., 90.), Ryoga Hibiki (24.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***1 (1 missed) Sent off: --- ***Olav II den hellige (33.) Booked: Mysil Bergsprekken ***Haakon I den gode A war of a match! The martial artists from Nerima were apparently more acceptable than the mjod-drinking Vikings, and with Olav den Hellige (or den Deilige?) sent off in the first half, the Nerimaniacs took this home easily.

PSV - G.I.D. 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Mind (10., 39., 89.) A rather even match at Fire Space Green, but G.I.D. proved they have a lot more of a deposit on their karma account, and won comfortably.

Disney Classics - Erkrath Gladiators 1 : 1 Scorers: Sjasmin (14.) ***Rolf Hanns (57.) Booked: --- ***Ragnar Blumke Through strong strategy, the Disney Classics tame the stronger Lunatics, and only bad luck prevented them from taking the win.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 8 ======

Erkrath Gladiators - PSV 8 : 4 Scorers: Martin Geiss (6., 13., 73.), Lutz Mertens (35., 58.), Heiner Johanns (29., 43.), Dietmar Augustin (49.) ***Venegoor (7.), Park (70.), Beasly (75.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Martin Geiss ***Park Erkrath Gladiators prove themselves a much stronger team than PSV, and should have won with true slaughter digits.

Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***John Milardovic, Kinnosuke Kashao, Mysil Bergsprekken, Ryoga Hibiki The Nerimaniacs fight their way to another two points - Bakusai Tenketsu!

Norwegian Vikings - Disney Classics 1 : 6 Scorers: Eirik Haakonsson Ladejarl (18.) ***Mulan (15., 16., 84.), Sjasmin (47., 71.), Tarzan (31.) Disney Classics attempted to field 12 players, but removing Peter Pan from the lineup, they were still marginally stronger. And then all they needed was heaps of luck to turn a marginal play advantage into a 6-1 win!

Coventry - Knights of the Round Ball 4 : 10 Scorers: David Hendry (32., 56., 74., 84.) ***Thathal Honest Deceitful (4., 24., 55., 83.), Maelwys son of Baeddan (27., 41., 71.), Gwynn son of Esni (10., 20.), Kynddilig the guide (15.) Booked: Ian Molby ***Cnychwr son of Nes One has to say that David Hendry did quite well, but one player does not a team make, and although the Knights of the Round Ball's conversion rate was ridiculous, their win was never really threatened anyway.

Scrubs - Sofia Inseminaters 5 : 1 Scorers: Dr Cox (65.), Lonnie (11.), Nurse Roberts (56.), Jordan (36.), Elliot (42.) ***Muhamar Giazri (41.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- (1 missed) Booked: Dr Cox, Lonnie ***Joey Masturbini, Muhamar Giazri Scrubs keep up their run for promotion with a solid detronization of the Nerds.

FC Mokum - Fluffy Bunny Eaters 1 : 0 Scorers: Charisteas (63.) ***--- A game where everyone would expect a goalless draw, but Charisteas manages to sneak one in, and FC Mokum thus get a slightly surprising home win here.

South Keys Slugfest Match day 7 ======

Manager Rosewich - March of the Black Queen 2 : 0 Scorers: Erlend Janbu (33.), Espen Brill (90.) ***--- Sent off: Trond Botnen (71.) ***--- The Believers worked their asses off in this match, and managed to get a play advantage against the stronger Black Knights, and even converted that to a surprising home win!

20th Century Dictators - Extreme 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Giggs, Ronaldo, van Nistelrooy With manager Stig-Erik back in charge, the bad luck also returns - after having all the play throughout the match, Extreme gives the opposition a penalty, which is converted, and a robbery of a home win results!

Kremlin - Wizards of Oz 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Belgarath (13., 74.), Richard Cypher (17.) Booked: --- ***Fizban The away teams are strong tonight - a deserved win for the Magi, albeit with flattering digits.

New Underdogs FC - Greensleeves United 4 : 1 Scorers: Witchfinder Major Saucepan (69., 81.), Bala Garba (63.), Stefan Barlin (17.) ***Simon Drake (75.)

Cevapi - All Black Moonlighters 1 : 4 Scorers: Zlata Lisicka (6.) ***Grant 'Pinpoint' Fox (10., 57.), John 'Quattordici' Kirwan (35.), Dan 'Pretty Boy' Carter (22.) A duel between two teams at 4 points, and the AB's did show themselves significantly stronger.

Harestua IL - New Underdogs FC 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Bala Garba (2.) Booked: Paal Tollefsrud, Simon Oesterhus ***--- New Underdogs are rocketing up the table, but Harestua gave them a real run for their money here - not quite enough though, as Bala Garba's early game goal became the only one.

Greensleeves United - Cevapi 8 : 0 Scorers: David Collins (3., 53., 81.), Edward Sykes (32., 62.), Tetsujin (14.), Chris Coppin (50.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Chris Coppin ***Mesni Burek, Pakiran Pomfri, Skorec M. Greensleeves had no problems defeating Cevapi at home at Windsor Great Park.

Wizards of Oz - Manager Rosewich 5 : 0 Scorers: Gandalf (1., 80.), Belgarath (39.), Pug (22.), Raistlin (5.) ***--- Booked: Cowardly Lion ***Haavard Pettersen, Ian Moes, Jan Aage Brill, Sean Cable Wizards of Oz now rule the top of the table alone after this efficient smackdown of Manager Rosewich.

March of the Black Queen - 20th Century Dictators 1 : 0 Scorers: (54.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Baby Doc, Nicholas II, Pol Pot Easy for promotion-chasers MOTBQ - no shots against, and should clearly have scored more themselves.

14. GM's ramble

59 out of 60 submitted something – two of these was too late to pick league orders. Improvement from last time, let's continue the good trend.

In Rosedale Open, Camarilla Divided have extended the gap further, having 15 points and a 3 point lead over Mishima Zaibatsu and Gangsters United. The relegation zone is made up of Batt in Blax and Grunts United with 3 points each, and Dangermouse with 2 points. The luckiest team of Rosedale Open is Camarilla Divided, and the unluckiest is Sale Savoyards. Rosedale Quest overtakes the Ancients at the top of Lexington League, with 15 points to their 14. First Men of Rome follow closest with 12 points. In the relegation zone, we find Sleep Wanderers with 4 points, and Dead Dino Storage and Really New Bremen Cyberdruids with 2 points each. The luckiest team of Lexington League is the Ancients, and the unluckiest is Dead Dino Storage.

Berkeley Conference features Car Park Rangers and Sheffield Thursday in the lead, now with 13 points each. Sheffield Thursday follow one point behind. At the other end of the table, Marvel Comics, Dummys and the Blitzball Team have 6 points each, and Pocket Valley Philosophers and Lords have 3 points each. The luckiest team of Berkeley is Jedi Order, and the unluckiest is Pocket Valley Philosophers.

Scrubs still lead Kirkwood Showdown alone, with 13 points, increasing their lead. Furinkan Matsudai Doshitemo and FC Mokum follow closest, two points behind. At the bottom, we find Sofia Inseminaters with 4 points and Coventry with 3 points. The karma kings of Kirkwood are G.I.D., and the karma drain is PSV.

In South Keys Slugfest, Wizards of Oz have run away with an impressive 15 points. The lead chasers are Real Johto with 13 points and New Underdogs FC with 10 points. At the bottom, Extreme have three points, and 20th Century Dictators have two points. Cevapi is luckiest here, and Extreme are unluckiest.

The luckiest of all is the Ancients, followed by Jedi Order and Camarilla Divided. The unluckiest is Sale Savoyards, followed by Dead Dino Storage and Extreme.

The home advantage is still 7 VP. In the next issue, round 9 and 10 will be played, plus the third round of the Rosedale Knockout.

The deadline for issue 6 is Friday, May 6, at 2130 CET.

I will send out the teams shortly.
