4. League results

Rosedale Open Match day 5 ======

Grunts United - Mishima Zaibatsu 0 : 4 Scorers: --- ***True (73., 89.), (33., 62.) Booked: --- ***Asuka Kazama, 5 Grunts have no points so far this year, and didn't get any at home against Mishima Zaibatsu either, even with the latter giving three points to Trion.

World Ambassadors - Call of Cthulhu 2 : 1 Scorers: Scott Troemel (27.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***1 Sent off: --- ***Night-Gaunt (90.) Booked: Nodens ***Mi-Go, Will Hayward The Lurking Fear appear to have a really hard time away from Arkham Asylum this season, with their third straight away loss. The Stabbers played well and won deservedly.

Sale Savoyards - Camarilla Divided 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Sebastien 'Decisive' Gibraltar (44., 89.) The Singers were pretty resigned to their fate for this match, and lost after only lasting 43 minutes of each half. Generation X take their sixth straight win of the season!

Batt in Blax - Monkey Business 2 : 4 Scorers: James Franklin (12.), Andre Adams (38.) ***Ozzy Mandrill (12., 80.), The Voodoo Priest (69.), Minnie Goudsoup (79.) Booked: James Marshall ***--- Batt in Blax were weakened by suspensions, and fed half the home advantage to Trion. You can't really do that against the Pirates Wannabe, unless you want to be called glue or offered a boat for swift escape.

Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - Gangsters United 3 : 0 Scorers: Petter Belsvik (33.), Warlock Dowling (56.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Jaime Hernez ***Little Carmine, Tony Blundetto Both teams really tried in this one, but the home team's home advantage and good relation with the referee proved decisive - although the scoreline is ridiculously flattering.

Dangermouse - Saturday Morning FC 3 : 5 Scorers: Miss Boathook (3.), Agent 57 (71.), Isanbard (29.) ***Fat Albert (15., 55., 77.), Top Cat (52.) Penalties: - ***1 Sent off: Mad Manuel (51.) ***--- The Mouseketeers also feed half the home advantage to Trion, and this may well have cost them a point in the Mouse Dome. With this snack, the 2Ds were the stronger team and deserved to win.

Rosedale Open Match day 6 ======

Call of Cthulhu - Batt in Blax 1 : 0 Scorers: Fthaggua (11.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Locke, Matthew Sinclair The Lurking Fear is evidently a completely different team home and away - with 0 points away, they claim their fifth point of six possible here, and it wasn't entirely undeserved either.

Monkey Business - Grunts United 0 : 0 Sent off: Elaine Marley (12.) ***--- Booked: Wally ***Defty Metalspike Monkey Business hit a real blob of bad luck, and couldn't convert anything against the Greenskins. That's the first point of the season for Grunts, in the prestigious Brill derby!

Gangsters United - Dangermouse 8 : 2 Scorers: Svarte Petter (4., 21., 34., 81.), Tony Blundetto (59., 75.), B-gjengen (31.), Nina Myers (36.) ***Isanbard (49.), Nero Spawn (81.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: --- ***Buggles Pigeon The Mobsters had little trouble scooping up the mice and drowning them in the harbour, as expected.

Mishima Zaibatsu - Sale Savoyards 5 : 3 Scorers: (40., 65.), Asuka Kazama (24.), Kazuya Mishima (22.), (50.) ***Aline (2., 72.), Hilarian (31.) Booked: Prototype Jack ***--- Very entertaining and goal-rich at the Iron Fist Tournament tonight, with the team with the best chances winning out in the end through a strong second half.

Camarilla Divided - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 4 : 0 Scorers: Sebastien 'Decisive' Gibraltar (28., 64.), Bill the Mighty Brujah (20.) ***--- Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Chalky, Jaime Hernez, Petter Belsvik, Wensleydale A solid strategical victory for Generation X, as the away team was stronger on paper, but the home team picked the exact best team setup to maximize their chances against the Apocalypse strategy. The resulting play advantage was enough for a one-goal win - and then they added another three, just for kicks.

Saturday Morning FC - World Ambassadors 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Paul Kitchin (8.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Optimus Prime ***Nodens A very interesting pair of tactics between two managers who had a good idea what the other usually does - but of course, they didn't feel the need to repeat them for this match, and the slightly stronger team wins out on a lone goal from play and a dubious penalty.

Lexington League Match day 5 ======

Dead Dino Storage - Really New Bremen Cyberdruids 1 : 0 Scorers: Pendragon (73.) ***--- The difference between the teams was largely in the home advantage, which was enough to see DDS through with both points from the Dark Side of the Moon.

The 5 Percent Community - Flaaklypa FK 2 : 0 Scorers: Finn Orjan Saele (29., 89.) ***--- A match with almost identical chances for each team, but with the Greedy Retards surfing on a wave of luck to claim both points - very important if they want to leave the relegation fight!

First Men of Rome - Desassossego Blues 5 : 1 Scorers: Horace (18., 38.), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (23.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (85.), Titus Flavius Vespasianus (33.) ***Ricardo Reis (11.) The Blues had a suspension cause them to feed Trion, and were thus pretty chanceless in this match.

Sleep Wanderers - the Ancients 0 : 7 Scorers: --- ***Morosaurus (27., 49.), Rhamphorhynchus (8., 64.), Archaeopteryx (12.), Opisthocoelicaudia (33.), Nanotyrannus (70.) Trion is starting to get fat and overweight, as the Night Terrors toss him another five points. Methinks if this goes on, that we need to get him an exercise plan and a diet...

Les Gaulois - Ajax 7 : 1 Scorers: Tragicomix (33., 65., 85.), Orthopedix (44.), Abraracourcix (52.), Joerre Kjemperud (43.) ***Charisteas (17.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***de Jong Les Gaulois show freshmen Ajax that life in Lexington can be hard, with a very convincing six-goal win.

Dial Square FC - Rosedale Quest 0 : 6 Scorers: --- ***Purple Goal Elemental (18., 54.), Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (34., 40.), Goalscorer Golem (11.), Yellow Goal Elemental (21.) The first of several matches this time lacking a manager - without Morten's guidance, Dial Square FC were rather chanceless against an army with three-handed swords and rapiers of unfairness.

Lexington League Match day 6 ======

Flaaklypa FK - Sleep Wanderers 6 : 0 Scorers: Roger Jurtappen (14., 32., 38., 68.), Reodor Felgen (51.), Jostein Kroksleiven (28.) ***--- I'm not quite sure what Paul was smoking when he made this team sheet, but it'd better be good. Maybe he should check his squad list next time :) The resulting tactic weren't necessarily so bad - it's just that Flaaklypa is a division or two stronger than Sleep Wanderers as it stands. the Ancients - Dead Dino Storage 2 : 0 Scorers: Tyrannosaurus (80.), Rhamphorhynchus (77.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Mark Byzewski, Pendragon, Porcupine Tree One of the most even matches for the Oldtimers so far this season, despite DDS playing an apprentice and the home advantage. Still it's the straight road back to the top division, it seems!

Ajax - Dial Square FC 8 : 1 Scorers: Mitea (20., 50., 76.), Charisteas (59., 89.), Reiziger (16., 81.), van Mul (6.) ***Flamini (65.) Ajax crushes Dial Square FC in Morten's absence, but more with the help of lucky and efficient use of their chances than anything else.

Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - First Men of Rome 6 : 16 Scorers: Chris Standbracker (50., 53., 72., 86.), Gregory (40.), Sam Touile (14.) ***Horace (26., 47., 58., 67.), Virgil (4., 17., 82.), Marcus Livius Drusus (10., 31., 36.), Spartacus (34., 45., 79.), Caligula (24., 73.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (83.) The Toga Boys score an abundance of goals and seem to be well-accustomed to Cemetary Football. It's smelling precariously like Berkeley for the Cyberdruids...

Desassossego Blues - Les Gaulois 5 : 1 Scorers: Vicente Guedes (17., 48., 78.), Fernando Pessoa (2.), Pantaleao (12.) ***Tragicomix (1.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) A very strong win for the Desassossego Blues against fellow outsiders Les Gaulois, keeping them within striking distance of the promotion zone. It's going to be a tight race!

Rosedale Quest - The 5 Percent Community 4 : 1 Scorers: Purple Goal Elemental (25.), Yellow Goal Elemental (28.), Goalscorer Golem (90.), Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (44.) ***Finn Orjan Saele (26.) Greedy Retards were not much of a speedbump for the Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus - they probably needed Doppelganger to have a shot.

Berkeley Conference Match day 5 ======

Odd Athletics - Lords 34 : 8 Scorers: Odd O. Occean (15 goal$s), Odd Nordstoga (7 goal$s), Odd Harald Rex (7 goal$s), Odd Feet (13., 21., 54., 60.), Odd Nando Papaya (79.) *** Skorec M. (9., 12., 62., 78.), Nen Ires (57., 86.), Mali Vili (23., 34.) Lords gets owned hard by the Weirdoes in manager Gorjan's absence.

Monster Time - Pocket Valley Philosophers 2 : 0 Scorers: Wolfman (46.), The Hand (67.) ***--- Booked: Blob ***--- Monster Time dominates the dungeons and frags the poor Pocket Valley quest party.

Jedi Order - Sheffield Thursday 1 : 1 Scorers: Darth Malek (90.) ***Mark White (20.) Booked: --- ***Steve Telofski The Lightside picks the wrong strategy and only barely survive with a point in a galaxy far, far away. Strong performance by the Owls!

Brazil Star Conquerors - Marvel Comics 2 : 1 Scorers: Richard Ripley (24.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***1 Booked: Abel, Gerson, Ricardo Rocha ***Beast, Groxo The prestiguous Ferreira derby is won by Brazil Star Conquerors who dominated the field completely.

Dummys - the Blitzball Team 1 : 0 Scorers: Red Pepper (28.) ***--- the Blitzballers try a new and novel strategy - playing it into the hands of the Dummys, and losing deservedly by one goal.

Twin Peaks Owls - Car Park Rangers 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Jay Garrick (40., 81.) Booked: --- ***Bobby Drake The Powers switches their tactic around and takes the Bookhouse Boys by surprise, winning easily.

Berkeley Conference Match day 6 ======

Pocket Valley Philosophers - Brazil Star Conquerors 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Roberto Carlos (3., 8.), Aldair (12.) Booked: --- ***Aldair Brazil were the stronger team at the Pocket Valley Bowl, and as they were the only team fighting hard, there was little doubt where this one would go.

Marvel Comics - Odd Athletics 12 : 3 Scorers: Groxo (6 goal$s), Wolverine (16., 19., 62., 63., 72.), Beast (81.) *** Odd Nordstoga (68.), Jigglypuff (67.), Odd O. Occean (33.) Booked: Beast, Gambit ***--- Marvel is some distance behind the Weirdoes, but this match leaves you to wonder why. After bagging a full dozen against the Weirdoes, they should be able to fight for survival. the Blitzball Team - Twin Peaks Owls 0 : 0 A point each at Zanarkand Memorial Stadium, which was a pretty fair result - although 1-1 would probably depict the match better.

Lords - Jedi Order 1 : 3 Scorers: Skorec M. (89.) ***Jocasta Nu (47.), Aurra Sing (74.), Darth Revan (41.) Lords almost took a point off the Lightside in their manager's absence, but the fighting spirit of the away team proved decisive.

Sheffield Thursday - Dummys 3 : 1 Scorers: Steve Telofski (70.), Kurt Bernhard (1.), Brian Strandskov (39.) *** --- Penalties: - ***1 Promotion-chasing Sheffield had little troubles bagging three against the Dummys, which was easily sufficient to take the win home.

Car Park Rangers - Monster Time 16 : 3 Scorers: Number Four (8 goal$s), Scott Summers (66., 75., 90.), Logan (5., 37.), Bobby Drake (44.), Kyle Rayner (60.), Bruce Wayne (15.) ***The Hand (17., 48.), Stanley Kellett (81.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- The Monsters clearly needed som Discipline in this match, as the Powers picked the right strategy to counter them - the promotion race is starting to separate between the top and the outsiders now.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 5 ======

Sofia Inseminaters - Coventry 0 : 0 Booked: Japar Muhamad, Joey Masturbini ***--- Coventry's stronger strategy counters the home advantage, and the game ebbs into a goalless draw.

G.I.D. - Erkrath Gladiators 3 : 2 Scorers: Mind (60., 77.), Drag-queen (15.) ***Martin Geiss (56.), Heiner Johanns (81.) Booked: --- ***Dietmar Augustin G.I.D. puts the home advantage to good use, and gets a small play advantage, which they convert to a one-goal win.

Norwegian Vikings - Scrubs 0 : 7 Scorers: --- ***Lonnie (12., 31., 58., 86.), Nurse Roberts (33.), Carla (72.), Jordan (15.) Booked: --- ***Dr Cox, Lonnie A strong application from the Scrubs to consider them promotion material. Solid dominance!

Furinkan Matsudai Doshitemo - Fluffy Bunny Eaters 0 : 0 Penalties: - ***- (2 missed) Booked: Russ Bynum ***--- Despite two missed penalties for the Tubbies, it was the Nerimaniacs who were closest to winning - however, neither team could convert any chances, and we have ourselves another goalless draw.

PSV - Knights of the Round Ball 8 : 7 Scorers: Venegoor (2., 13., 43.), Park (11., 36., 73.), Beasly (53.), Farfan (24.) ***Gwynn son of Esni (11., 27., 59.), Matthew Bright (45., 76.), Thathal Honest Deceitful (66.), Kynddilig the guide (73.) A very even and entertaining match, where both teams were scoring goals like crazy. Apparently, both teams had ran out of gasoline by the 76th minute, and PSV successfully rode their 8-7 lead to victory.

Disney Classics - FC Mokum 3 : 0 Scorers: Wendy (33., 65.), Milo (77.) ***--- Disney Classics have worked out their Trion issues, and win easily against a weaker FC Mokum. Kirkwood Showdown Match day 6 ======

Erkrath Gladiators - Furinkan Matsudai Doshitemo 0 : 0 Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Mysil Bergsprekken An even match at Kampfbahn an der Gink, ending deservedly 0-0 with minimal entertainment.

Fluffy Bunny Eaters - Sofia Inseminaters 0 : 0 Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Ahmed Yosuf, Japar Muhamad, Muhamar Giazri The Tubbies roll over the Nerds, but can't convert anything, and only get a lone point - true robbery!

Knights of the Round Ball - Disney Classics 7 : 2 Scorers: Greidyawl Enemy Subduer (40., 72.), Kynddilig the guide (39., 67.), Thathal Honest Deceitful (40.), Maelwys son of Baeddan (16.), Matthew Bright (73.) ***Wendy (44.), Alice (76.) Top against bottom with added home advantage, and a predictable result.

Coventry - Norwegian Vikings 6 : 7 Scorers: David Hendry (24., 74., 90.), Onix (28., 64.), Mikey Michaels (37.) ***Eirik Haakonsson Ladejarl (13., 63., 80.), Olav II den hellige (41., 69.), Haakon Eiriksson jarl (46.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Freddie Foot, Jacques Renault ***--- The Helmets are quite lucky winning at Highfield Road, as Coventry had the most play and chances. However, it's goals that count, and both points go to the away team.

Scrubs - PSV 4 : 3 Scorers: Carla (59., 81.), Nurse Roberts (33.), Lonnie (88.) ***Venegoor (40.), Park (29.), Beasly (64.) Booked: Ted ***Vogel The Scrubs are behind for a while here, but manage to turn 2-3 to 4-3 during the last 10 minutes. Entirely deserved it was too!

FC Mokum - G.I.D. 1 : 0 Scorers: Advocaat (80.) ***--- FC Mokum has all the play and successfully convert one of their chances, so it's a 1-0 win at the Arena.

South Keys Slugfest Match day 5 ======

Manager Rosewich - Extreme 2 : 0 Scorers: Trond Botnen (34., 62.) ***--- Manager Rosewich beats managerless Extreme easily with the right strategy.

Harestua IL - All Black Moonlighters 1 : 1 Scorers: Marius Ohren (16.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Asbjoern Myhre, Kenneth Skaarud, Simon Oesterhus ***--- Harestua IL seemed to have this one in the bag, but the Moonlighters were awarded a late-game penalty allowing them to steal a point against the run of play.

Greensleeves United - Wizards of Oz 0 : 5 Scorers: --- ***Pug (8., 11., 63.), Gandalf (51., 80.) Booked: David Collins ***Cowardly Lion, Fizban Tabletoppers came to Windsor Great Park looking for points, and the Copperfield Wannabes weren't disappointed - a noticeable play advantage was converted to a whopping 5-0 win.

New Underdogs FC - 20th Century Dictators 6 : 0 Scorers: Baard Borgersen (43.), Kristoffer Haestad (46.), Witchfinder Major Saucepan (27.), Bala Garba (73.), Alex Valencia (82.), Stefan Barlin (38.) ***--- Booked: Stefan Barlin ***--- New Underdogs FC crushes the Happy Tyrants and claims back some ground towards the upper sections of the table.

Real Johto - Kremlin 4 : 2 Scorers: Shroomish (23., 51.), Pikachu (42., 49.) ***Lech Schukrutoff (56.), Nikolai Shootemdedsky (73.) Real Johto keeps up with the Magi with full score after convincingly defeating Kremlin at the Pokemon Stadium.

Cevapi - March of the Black Queen 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Gabriele Oriali (50.), Giuseppe Giannini (1.) March of the Black Queen didn't need managerial guidance to win this one - good players and a little luck did just fine.

South Keys Slugfest Match day 6 ======

All Black Moonlighters - New Underdogs FC 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Bala Garba (35.) New Underdogs seem to be picking up form, beating the AB's at Whangamata International.

20th Century Dictators - Manager Rosewich 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Sean Cable (59.) Manager Rosewich had all the play and scored once - nobody seemed to notice that the player who scored actually left last season.

Kremlin - Cevapi 4 : 2 Scorers: Lech Schukrutoff (15., 52.), Anatol Mischif (32.) ***Pakiran Pomfri (27.), Pocena Zemljica (39.) Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Mesni Burek, Sancho Pancha, Stevo S. Kremlin recovers from the first match of the weekend with this fine win against the Hudson.

Extreme - Greensleeves United 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Fred Rogers (81.), Simon Drake (79.) Booked: --- ***Roger Ripley, Tetsujin Managerless Extreme stumbles on to lose against stronger Greensleeves.

Wizards of Oz - Real Johto 2 : 2 Scorers: Raistlin (38.), Pug (79.) ***Gengar (9., 25.) Booked: --- ***Haunter Both teams had full score before this match and one record had to go - as it turned out both did, as Real Johto somewhat lucky managed to keep the Magi to a draw.

March of the Black Queen - Harestua IL 3 : 0 Scorers: Gabriele Oriali (65.) ***--- Penalties: 2 ***- Sent off: --- ***Morten Skjaerstad (74.), John Ola Tollefsrud (88.) Booked: --- ***Asbjoern Myhre March of the Black Queen have a great weekend even without their manager, as the referee cracked down very hard on HIL towards the end of the match.

13.Rosedale Knockout second round results

Monster Time - FC Mokum 2 : 3 Scorers: Them! (70.), IT! (27.) ***Advocaat (53., 61.), van Basten (4.) And it's a cup bomb in the first match! Monster Time manager Setzer thought it was a good time to give his apprentices that final taste of senior football, and I don't think Hoogetorn in the Mokum chair is complaining...

World Ambassadors - Manager Rosewich 6 : 0 Scorers: Rudi van Hal (23., 42., 57.), Dog (35.) ***--- Penalties: 2 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Erlend Janbu, Espen Brill, Trond Botnen Stabber opposition were way too strong the Believers, but kudos to them for trying!

Dummys - Batt in Blax 1 : 10 Scorers: --- ***Hamish Marshall (10., 30., 56., 88.), Matthew Sinclair (7., 51.), Michael Papps (32., 80.), Matt Horne (45., 61.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Michael Papps All Blacks easily roll over managerless Dummys, as expected.

Desassossego Blues - Les Gaulois 2 : 3 Scorers: Vicente Guedes (7.), Fernando Pessoa (29.) ***Orthopedix (7., 48.), Tragicomix (32.) Booked: Vicente Guedes ***--- Blues manager Henriksen may have sent himself out of the cup here with not fielding his 11 best players - although Les Gaulois should from play and chances have won with at least two goals.

Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - Ajax 8 : 1 Scorers: Chalky (5., 39., 48., 62., 85.), Assurancetourix (53., 82.), Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (13.) ***Reiziger (26.) Booked: --- ***Sonck The Apocalypse gave Ajax a thorough lesson in how to play football - wonder if they picked up anything?

Rosedale Quest - Real Johto 7 : 0 Scorers: Purple Goal Elemental (2., 69.), Yellow Goal Elemental (17., 25.), Goalscorer Golem (10., 81.), Golden Goblin (43.) ***--- The Pocket Monsters had decided in advance that this match was too hard - perhaps they were right, we will never know :)

Call of Cthulhu - Lords 7 : 0 Scorers: Mi-Go (18., 45., 61., 83.), Glaaki (12., 49.), Daoloth (13.) ***--- Unsurprisingly, the Lurking Fear tosses managerless Lords out of the cup and into insanity.

Gangsters United - Mishima Zaibatsu 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Christie Monteiro (23.) Booked: Vinnie Jones ***Christie Monteiro, Jack 5, Lei Wulong I guess this is the program's way of making up for all the troubles it has given me this weekend (a few hours extra work to make this bulletin, plus the fear that some problems will propagate through the season). The match was almost completely mathematically even in terms of goals expected, but those who heed the call were simply luckier, and send the Mobsters head first out of the cup.

G.I.D. - the Ancients 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Tyrannosaurus (32.), Opisthocoelicaudia (15.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Drag-queen, Exploda-head ***Morosaurus, Rhamphorhynchus the Oldtimers wanted to win, and did.

The 5 Percent Community - Marvel Comics 2 : 3 ot. (2 : 2) Scorers: Eirik Hillestad (13.), Christer George (33.) ***Jean Grey (44., 73.), Beast (95.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Jean Grey, Juggernaut, Sergeant Thomas Deisenburger It's a robbery! Fraud! The poor Greedy Retards should be used to this though - only usually it's money, and not cup seats that's at stake. Incredible!

Car Park Rangers - March of the Black Queen 12 : 0 Scorers: Number Four (1., 9., 55., 64.), Scott Summers (59., 70., 75.), Bobby Drake (21., 31.), Logan (16., 46.), Kyle Rayner (58.) ***--- Booked: Jay Garrick ***--- March of the Black Queen clearly needed a manager to have chances against Berkeleyers Car Park Rangers.

Monkey Business - Dial Square FC 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Fabregas (31.) More cup bombs through luck! Pirates Wannabe had virtually all the play, but Dial Square FC converts a rare counter attack for a robbery of a 1-0 win!

Kremlin - Camarilla Divided 0 : 4 Scorers: --- ***the little boy (45.), Raymond "Knowhow" Ash (89.), Paige 'Heihei' Duff (24.), Sebastien 'Decisive' Gibraltar (48.) the Comrades were quivering with fear of being sent to Siberia, and couldn't concentrate. Generaion X advance comfortably.

Brazil Star Conquerors - Flaaklypa FK 6 : 4 a.p. (2 : 2 ot., 1 : 1) Scorers: Aldair (110.), Richard Ripley (1.) ***Reodor Felgen (92.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Falcao, Richard Ripley ***--- Brazil get their revenge for missing promotion last year, after holding Flaaklypa to a deserved draw throughout overtime, and keeping cooler in the penalty shootout!

Andeby FK - Erkrath Gladiators 1 : 9 Scorers: --- ***Heiner Johanns (6 goal$s), Martin Geiss (9., 70.), Rolf Hanns (42.) Booked: --- ***Edi 'Woodpecker' Abel, Kyle Mills Easy advancement for the Lunatics against conference league opposition.

Sale Savoyards - Dead Dino Storage 2 : 1 Scorers: Fitzbattleaxe (8.), Aline (36.) ***Popol Ace (50.) Sent off: --- ***Junipher Greene (52.) Booked: --- ***Pendragon, Popol Vuh The Singers are a strong cup team this year as well, knocking out DDS even with the latter fighting well.

14. GM's ramble

Okay, first of all: The Kirkwood data files have been fucked up. I've restored what I can (which is pretty much everything), but: Your players may have wrong out-of-position played numbers, and their goals and DP may not be correct. I'm sorry, but after doing several hours of fixing up, I felt this was not important enough to warrant a few more hours while I work through all the players in the division (especially given that the program won't let me fix it all anyway). I'm going to have to tally the Kirkwood Showdown manually for the remainder of the season, so feel free to proofread it.

Due to all the extra work there, and the possibility of this propagating into the season onwards (aside from having to tally the table manually), I cannot promise I'll get a Rosedale Sun out each weekend in the coming weeks, but I will try.

55 out of 60 submitted orders this time – that is not good. Get them in, people.

In Rosedale Open, Camarilla Divided still top alone with full score, now 12 points. Mishima Zaibatsu and Gangsters United follow closest, with 10 and 9 points, respectively. The relegation zone is made up of Dangermouse with 2 points, and Batt in Blax and Grunts United with 1 point each. The luckiest team of Rosedale Open by far is Camarilla Divided, and the unluckiest is Batt in Blax.

The Ancients are still on top alone in Lexington, with 12 points now. Rosedale Quest (11) and First Men of Rome (10) lead the pack in the chase. In the relegation zone, we find Dead Dino Storage and Sleep Wanderers with 2 points each, and Really New Bremen Cyberdruids still without points. The luckiest team of Lexington League by far is the Ancients, and the unluckiest is Dead Dino Storage.

Berlekey Conference now features Car Park Rangers and Sheffield Thursday in the lead, with 10 points each. Jedi Order and Brazil Star Conquerors follow one point behind. At the other end of the table, Twin Peaks Owls and Odd Athletics have 5 points each, Dummys and Marvel Comics have 4 points, Pocket Valley Philosophers have 3 points and Lords have one point. The luckiest team of Berkeley by far is Jedi Order, and the unluckiest is Monster Time.

Scrubs now lead Kirkwood Showdown alone, with 9 points. Knights of the Round Ball and G.I.D. are one point behind, and another three teams follow two points behind. At the bottom, we find Coventry with 4 points, and Disney Classics with 2 points. The karma kings of Kirkwood are Norwegian Vikings, and the karma drain is Knights of the Round Ball.

In South Keys Slugfest, Real Johto and Wizards of Oz have a comfortable lead having 11 points each. Four teams follow four points behind. At the bottom, Extreme have two points, and 20th Century Dictators has one point. Cevapi is luckiest here, and Harestua IL are unluckiest.

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

The home advantage has increased to 7 VP. In the next issue, round 7 and 8 will be played, plus the second round of the Rosedale Knockout.

The deadline for issue 5 is Friday, April 29, at 2130 CET.

I will send out the teams shortly.
