4. League results
Rosedale Open Match day 13 ======
Mishima Zaibatsu - Grunts United 0 : 0 The Greenskins become the second team to get a point at the Iron Fist Tournament this season, with the help of the unlisted Terry Toopatch.
Monkey Business - Dangermouse 17 : 0 Scorers: The SCUMM bar chef (9 goal$s), Minnie Goudsoup (51., 85., 87.), Carla (2., 19.), Elaine Marley (55., 81.), The Voodoo Priest (35.) ***--- A very easy victory for the Pirates Wannabe, who holds on well to their second place here.
Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - The 5 Percent Community 10 : 0 Scorers: Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (6 goal$s), Pepper (2., 6., 83.), Petter Belsvik (27.) ***--- The Greedy Retards had half their team out with suspensions, but the Apocalypse was still lucky to win by two digits.
Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Sale Savoyards 0 : 12 Scorers: --- ***Sam (2., 6., 19., 38., 74.), Goldbury (11., 28., 62., 68.), Hilarian (49., 78.), Chancellor (43.) Sent off: Sam Touile (38.) ***--- Booked: Peter Parker ***--- The Cyberdruids were weakened by suspensions, rested their best player, and fed Trion. It should come as no surprise that the Singers thus won the match at Rosewood Cemetary, and put some extra distance to the relegation zone.
Camarilla Divided - Saturday Morning FC 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***The Brain A slow match in the Mansion Cellar, with Generation X having somewhat more chances of scoring a goal. the Ancients - Call of Cthulhu 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Dagon (7.), Leftovers (21.), Will Hayward (67.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: Morosaurus ***Cthulhu, Will Hayward Nanotyrannus replaced the missing Mammoth, and the Oldtimers dominated the battle at the Archeological Site. However, the Lurking Fear had more karma to spend, and won comfortably 3-0.
Rosedale Open Match day 14 ======
The 5 Percent Community - Mishima Zaibatsu 2 : 1 Scorers: Arne Sandsto (30.), Christer George (10.) ***Anna Williams (22.) The Greedy Retards were in the 7th heaven over their gift this week, and through extraordinary efficiency, they managed to beat Mishima Zaibatsu at Straume Bedehus. Is this the end of the latter's medal aspirations?
Grunts United - Monkey Business 1 : 0 Scorers: Phoreign Photo (3.) ***--- Booked: Larry Long, Trolluc Troeffel ***Ozzy Mandrill The Greenskins got a great start when Phoreign Photo scored in the third minute, and successfully rode that into a 1-0 win. Can they still hope to bring medals to Shraaaag's Memorial Stadium once again?
Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - the Ancients 7 : 0 Scorers: The delivery man (46., 63.), Chalky (51., 81.), Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (23.), Agnes Nutter (20.), Petter Belsvik (9.) ***--- The Apocalypse keep steaming forward with flattering scorelines, and with their main opposition giving away points on a steady basis, they look like a good candidate to be the first club to win Rosedale Open two years running.
Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Camarilla Divided 0 : 5 Scorers: --- ***Jerry 'Informed' Time (21., 53., 58.), Sebastien 'Decisive' Gibraltar (41., 70.) Booked: Gregorio Vinchester ***--- Top against bottom with a predictable result... the Cyberdruids really need to do something drastic if they want to save their seat for next season, relegation is looming behind the refridgerator. Sale Savoyards - Dangermouse 7 : 1 Scorers: Fitzbattleaxe (2., 33., 67.), Sam (8., 32., 70.), Goldbury (21.) *** Buggles Pigeon (3.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Baron Silas Greenback II, Mad Manuel The Singers feel T5PC's breath in their necks, and proceed to crush the Mouseketeers in a scramble upwards the table.
Saturday Morning FC - Call of Cthulhu 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Sent off: Quickdraw McGraw (46.) ***Cthulhu (3.) Booked: --- ***Abhoth, Dagon, Yig A truly hardfought game, where the strongest team won out on a penalty in the end.
Lexington League Match day 13 ======
Gangsters United - Desassossego Blues 6 : 1 Scorers: Little Carmine (21., 40., 68.), Svarte Petter (2.), Nina Myers (58.) ***Vicente Guedes (57.) Penalties: 1 ***- The Mobsters keep promotion hopes alive with this convincing victory over the Blues.
Dial Square FC - Les Gaulois 1 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Abraracourcix (16.), Ordralfabetix (67.) Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Sent off: --- ***Yoshimitsu (41.) Booked: --- ***Avoranfix, Cetautomatix Two pretty even teams faced off at Plumstead Common, but since the away team wanted the points more, noone could complain except a certain Japanese ninja sent to an early shower. After an abysmal start to the season, the Gaulois have certainly picked up pace lately. the Blitzball Team - Jedi Order 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Mace Windu (11.) A fourpointer in the relegation struggle between the two teams coming from the top division this year. It was tight and even, but a somewhat stronger away team manages to score the match's only goal, and secure two important points in the quest for survival.
World Ambassadors - Batt in Blax 8 : 3 Scorers: Rudi van Hal (22., 33., 46., 89.), Russ Bynum (1., 86.), John Milardovic (51.) ***Hamish Marshall (79.), Nathan Astle (74.) Penalties: 1 ***1 Booked: Steph Mabie ***Michael Papps The ambassadors had apparently hired in someone from the Mobsters to give Batt's keeper shoes of concrete, as what should reasonably have ended 3-3, ended 8-3 when the Black Caps just kept conceding goals. This retains a little excitement as to who wins the Lexington League!
Lords - First Men of Rome 6 : 15 Scorers: Skorec M. (1., 29., 82.), Pizdo Lizec (53., 77.), Tisik Reten (67.) ***Marcus Livius Drusus (10., 20., 52., 71.), Titus Flavius Vespasianus (40., 84., 88.), Marcus Tullius Cicero (30., 34., 84.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (4., 66.), Gaius Julius Caesar (55., 62.), Spartacus (43.) Lords tosses Trion three points, but it didn't matter in any case, as they were duly slaughtered by the Toga Boys.
Dead Dino Storage - Sleep Wanderers 4 : 1 Scorers: Popol Ace (2., 27.), Mean Middlefielder (48.) ***Despair (19.) Penalties: 1 (2 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Thessaly An interesting midtable game that could have gone either way - so the Night Terrors were a little stronger, and DDS significantly luckier, and it thus ends with a home win at Dark Side of the Moon.
Lexington League Match day 14 ======
Jedi Order - Gangsters United 2 : 7 Scorers: Mace Windu (22., 79.) ***Little Carmine (12., 35., 83.), Tony Blundetto (20., 47.), Dr. Evil (39.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: --- ***B-gjengen, Tony Blundetto The Jedis had already claimed their two points for the weekend, and didn't come close against the Mobsters. Desassossego Blues - Dial Square FC 4 : 1 Scorers: Fernando Pessoa (10., 80.), Vicente Guedes (36.), Alberto Caeiro (25.) ***Vieira (39.) Sent off: --- ***Fabregas (3.) Booked: Raphael Baldaya, Ricardo Reis ***--- A strategical victory for the Blues, which was increased in size when Fabregas tossed pizza at the referee already in the third minute. the Blitzball Team - Dead Dino Storage 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***OSI, The Tangent, Transatlantic *yawn*... the match was decided on a penalty... and if I'm not mistaken, it must have been given for passive play!
World Ambassadors - Lords 13 : 1 Scorers: John Milardovic (6 goal$s), Rudi van Hal (17., 24., 27., 51., 52.), Newton Pulsifer (1.), Haavard Pettersen (6.) ***Nen Ires (42.) Booked: Haavard Pettersen ***--- Berkeley manager Haavard Pettersen was booked for claiming that Lexington is no better than his own division, but apart from that, little could trouble the Stabbers in this game.
Batt in Blax - Les Gaulois 7 : 1 Scorers: Hamish Marshall (41., 54.), Matt Horne (23., 69.), Stephen Fleming (58.), Locke (9.), Nathan Astle (61.) ***Abraracourcix (47.) Booked: --- ***Agecanonix, Assurancetourix The Black Caps easily win at Eden Park against the Gaulois, who will lack another two for their next match - looking dificult!
First Men of Rome - Sleep Wanderers 2 : 10 Scorers: Caligula (18.), Marcus Livius Drusus (66.) ***Cluracan (1., 64., 67., 90.), Andrew Card (10., 30., 54.), Albert Costa (27., 61.), Thessaly (70.) Booked: --- ***Thessaly The Night Terrors fed a point to Trion, but although the scoreline ridiculously outscores any likely result, they were the strongest team and deserved to win.
Berkeley Conference Match day 13 ======
Coventry - Pocket Valley Philosophers 0 : 0 Booked: David Hendry, Onix ***Sun Tzu With the Drunken Thinkers missing a key player, Coventry get their first point of the season after picking the right strategy... actually, Coventry were closer to winning than the Philosophers!
Flaaklypa FK - Brazil Star Conquerors 4 : 0 Scorers: Solan Gundersen (16., 49.), Roger Jurtappen (71.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Roberto Carlos, Zico Flaaklypa roll over Brazil, keeping the play on Brazil's half for 88 of the 90 minutes. Promotion looks very likely!
Rosedale Quest - Odd Athletics 14 : 2 Scorers: Golden Goblin (6 goal$s), Corner Flag Magi (26., 42., 54., 61.), Crossbar Centaur (76.), Yellow Goal Elemental (52.), Goalscorer Golem (83.), Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (16.) ***Odd Nordstoga (82.), Odd O. Occean (51.) Booked: --- ***Odd Pondus Gooooooals in the Magical Woods of Doom... although the Odd Fellow might have had use for some Ancient Gauntlets of Handling.
DC Red Hot and Blues - Fluffy Bunny Eaters 1 : 0 Scorers: Jorge Pasqualle (7.) ***--- The Riblets gets a lucky early goal, and as the Tubbies never attacked, the game was left at that, with two important points for the home team.
Car Park Rangers - Ajax 2 : 2 Scorers: Logan (44.), Number Four (86.) ***Pienaar (39.), Escude (57.) Booked: Karl Rove ***Mitea, Sonck Paul Riley switches strategy, and claims a deserved point against promotion- runners Ajax.
Sheffield Thursday - Marvel Comics 2 : 0 Scorers: Steve Telofski (15.), Michael Richard (77.) ***--- Booked: Mark Byzewski ***Iceman, Wolverine The Owls are still chasing the top four, and narrows the gap to 3rd and 4th with this deserved win.
Berkeley Conference Match day 14 ======
Odd Athletics - Coventry 12 : 4 Scorers: Jigglypuff (12., 30., 44., 74.), Odd Harald Rex (3., 33., 60., 66.), Odd Nordstoga (40., 50., 64., 71.) ***Mikey Michaels (20., 30.), Ian Molby (19.), David Hendry (86.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Ian Molby The Weirdoes fixes their goal difference with this massacre.
Pocket Valley Philosophers - Flaaklypa FK 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Solan Gundersen (85.) Booked: Craig McMillan, Spinoza ***--- Whoa! The Drunken Thinkers manage to keep their sheet clean for 85 minutes, but Solan Gundersen was pulled backwards into the birdbox near the end of the match, and the lone goal was enough to give Flaaklypa both points.
Rosedale Quest - Sheffield Thursday 6 : 0 Scorers: Purple Goal Elemental (71., 80.), Golden Goblin (65., 72.), Corner Flag Magi (52.), Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (19.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Dave Ricker A fairly straightforward win for the Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus, consolidating their position for a very likely promotion.
DC Red Hot and Blues - Car Park Rangers 3 : 5 Scorers: Eric Birch (5., 34., 67.) ***Number Four (10., 49.), Selina Kyle (73.), Logan (19.), Scott Summers (1.) Booked: Andy O'Neill, Boris Steppans, Darnell Anthony, Michael Kelly ***--- A rather even match, with the Powers being slightly stronger and significantly more efficient, thus claiming both points.
Fluffy Bunny Eaters - Brazil Star Conquerors 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Richard Ripley (30.), Zico (36.), Roberto Carlos (51.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- The Tubbies had a chance to get a great start, when Abel yelled "Cain!" at Pinky and tried to kill him, which resulted in an early penalty. However, the Fluffy Bunny Eaters failed to convert it, and Brazil rolled over them for a comfortable victory. It has been rumoured that Cain has bought a blackmarket time machine to go back in time and kill Abel as a preemptive strike.
Ajax - Marvel Comics 1 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Cyclops (82.) Penalties: 1 ***- Sent off: --- ***Eddy Gordo (71.) Egbert Ferreira picks the right strategy, claiming a deserved point against Ajax.
Kirkwood Showdown Match day 13 ======
Dummys - Wizards of Oz 3 : 3 Scorers: Kanta Zelja (14.), Red Pepper (47.), Infrared Banana (64.) ***Gandalf (12., 39.), Richard Cypher (78.) the Geeky Dummys and the Magi were almost completely mathematically even, and it was only fair that the game ended in a draw.
Twin Peaks Owls - Camlutman City 1 : 2 Scorers: Brian (64.) ***Jason Rees (71.), Bejzi Ukurz (22.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Bejzi Ukurz, John Dreyer Twin Peaks Owls were weakened by suspensions, but in all fairness should have been able to overcome the Drows - however, a big karma drain on their part allowed Camlutman City to get their first away points of the season!
Disney Classics - Erkrath Gladiators 2 : 1 Scorers: Milo (74.) ***Ragnar Blumke (63.) Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Daniel Koehnen Pressure's on Disney Classics after Camlutman City won their match, and lo and behold, they pick the right strategy to be almost even with the Lunatics... and pour in a bunch of karma for a surprise home win!
Real Johto - Monster Time 20 : 6 Scorers: Pikachu (7 goal$s), Shroomish (7 goal$s), King (32., 48., 60., 69., 78.), Adam Young (58.) ***Blob (29.), Wolfman (44.), Monster 8 (90.), Franky (39.), The Hand (1.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Adam Young ***--- Whoa. Keepers and sweepers, go home in shame!
Andeby FK - Greensleeves United 2 : 0 Scorers: Guffen (12.), Klaus Knegg (6.) ***--- Booked: Fetter Anton, Guffen, Mikke Mus ***--- Greensleeves underestimate Andeby, and play completely unspirited, letting Andeby fight and slug their way to an impressive home win: the first win against the table toppers this season!
New Underdogs FC - March of the Black Queen 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***Gabriele Oriali, Gaetano Scirea New Underdogs were without their manager, and the Black Knights dominated the matchup. However, when they couldn't score, the teams get a point apiece.
Kirkwood Showdown Match day 14 ======
Erkrath Gladiators - Dummys 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***The Door Shut Properly (59.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Daniel Klein ***Infrared Banana, Red Pepper The Lunatics have lost their horseshoes: despite marginally stronger, they managed to loose this match against the Geeky Dummys. This complicates their quest for promotion!
Wizards of Oz - Twin Peaks Owls 1 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Audrey Horne (58.), Garland Briggs (86.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Leland Palmer The Bookhouse Boys guess right on strategy, but still had to throw in a bit of karma to win this one.
Disney Classics - New Underdogs FC 1 : 0 Scorers: Sjasmin (34.) ***--- With relegation looming, Disney Classics pulls off an excellent weekend, with two victories! Managerless New Underdogs were chanceless in this affair.
Real Johto - Andeby FK 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***Guffen, Nabo Jensen, Ole Duck, Petter Smart A slow affair that the Pocket Monsters were closer to winning, but an impressive weekend by Andeby FK nonetheless.
Monster Time - Camlutman City 6 : 0 Scorers: The Hand (31., 62.), Wolfman (77.), Slime (59.), Franky (12.), Drac (43.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Jason Rees, Matthew Joseph Monster Time are fighting for promotion, and weren't overly troubled by the opposition put up by the Drows.
Greensleeves United - March of the Black Queen 1 : 0 Scorers: Chris Coppin (3.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Bruno Conti Greensleeves barely edges out a one goal victory against the Black Knights, allowing them to retake first place.

13.Rosedale Knockout quarter final results
World Ambassadors - Gangsters United 5 : 2 Scorers: John Milardovic (33., 84.), Carmine Zuigiber (85.), Dog (85.), Russ Bynum (16.) ***Dr. Evil (63.), Svarte Petter (41.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Dog, John Milardovic, Newton Pulsifer ***The Joker With an almost exactly even chance of winning, it was the Stabbers' turn to get lucky and advance, after an excellent conversion rate.
Camarilla Divided - Grunts United 1 : 5 a.p. (0 : 0 ot., 0 : 0) Sent off: Charlie 'Smallpox' Guthrie (50.) ***--- Grunts United once again just fielded 10 players, but got their 11th again, and managed to keep their goal clean throughout the match and extra time, despite Generation X having more chances. In the penalty shootout, of course, the Greenskins show they're a true cup team, and advance to the semifinals. Mishima Zaibatsu - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 0 : 1 ot. (0 : 0) Scorers: --- ***Pepper (95.) Sent off: Matthew Bright (72.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Chalky, Petter Belsvik An utterly boring quarter final, with the Apocalypse getting a goal in extra time, and we'll thus see them again in the semis.
Sale Savoyards - the Blitzball Team 1 : 0 Scorers: Sam (14.) ***--- Sam's early goal was the only one, and the Singers can pride themselves semifinalists!
