2. Broadcast messages

Ian Moes, Saturday Morning FC: «The board of Saturday Morning FC are delighted to see talented kids like Sam, Pat and Tommy coming through the youth setup. Speculation suggesting the board has not been willing to provide the funds required to reinvigorate the squad are false, the Manager simply feels that there is no value in the market at this time. Fans can be satisfied that when there is value to be had, the Manager will have the funds needed. We are confident the current squad has the talent to achieve the clubs ambitions for the season.»

4. League results

Rosedale Premiership Match day 1 ======

Formula 1 Legends - Erkrath Gladiators 2 : 3 Scorers: Fernando Alonso (41., 74.) ***Coco (7., 69.), Daniel (32.) Booked: Fernando Alonso, Stefan Vettel ***--- A game almost exactly even starts this season off, and Erkrath proved efficient enough to claim both points.

Feyenoord - Serial Killers 3 : 0 Scorers: Bertus Bul (19., 40., 77.) ***--- Booked: Adriaan Koonings ***--- No question where the points were going here, as Feyenoord picked the right strategy and Bertus Bul was in a great scoring mood.

St. Helens - Fjortoft's Friends 2 : 2 Scorers: Wearethechampions (11.), Gervasio Guedes (41.) ***Iron-Maik (22.), Sebi (68.) Fjortoft's Friends managed an upper hand away here, but couldn't get the winning goal.

FC Asskickers - Enga 2 : 0 Scorers: Sting (24.) ***--- Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Juan Fuenmayor, Kac The reigning champions start the new season well, but Enga put up a good fight and could have snatched a point.

Ubermenschen - Botanica 3 : 0 Scorers: Mann (38., 60.), Hegel (86.) ***--- A big win for Ubermenschen, but also the best performance so far in the new season.

Magical World - Currents of Space 0 : 0 Currents of Space were closest to winning this slow and even match, but in the end, nothing at all happened in this game.

Rosedale Premiership Match day 2 ======

Erkrath Gladiators - Magical World 1 : 3 Scorers: Daniel (56.) ***Saphira (53., 70.), Namo (6.) Booked: Coco ***--- Magical World get off to a strong start, beating a former champion team at Kampfbahn an der Gink, a feat not many clubs can pull off.

Currents of Space - Ubermenschen 0 : 0 Booked: David Arnfeld ***Borchert, Heidegger A tiny upper hand for Ubermenschen, but all in all, a fair draw.

Botanica - FC Asskickers 2 : 2 Scorers: Vinca Minor (69.), Chlorophyta (9.) ***Chris Benoit (5.), Sting (8.) Booked: --- ***Chris Benoit FC Asskickers were a little stronger, but Botanica saved a point.

Enga - St. Helens 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***justforfun (37., 49.), Gervasio Guedes (63.) Booked: --- ***Wearethechampions Not a lot separated the teams in terms of play and chances, but St. Helens proved deadly in front of goal, a description not very fitting to Enga in this game.

Fjortoft's Friends - Feyenoord 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***Bertus Bul The home side was stronger, but Feyenoord's goalie was apparently in great form today.

Serial Killers - Formula 1 Legends 2 : 1 Scorers: Ivan Milat (8., 49.) ***Ralf Schuhmacher (24.) Booked: --- ***Stefan Vettel Formula 1 Legends are used to high speeds, but couldn't keep up with the Serial Killers here.

The Championship Match day 1 ======

Desassossego Blues - Kremlin 3 : 2 Scorers: Coelho Pacheco (58.), Vicente Guedes (46.), Ricardo Reis (57.) *** Mikail Strychnin (47., 84.) Booked: Bernando Soares ***--- A promising match that makes me think these two clubs can challenge for promotion, and the home advantage helped the Blues claim both points here.

ENPS - Stars 2 : 0 Scorers: Bert Wijchgel (39., 60.) ***--- Pretty close affair, but Bert Wijchgel made sure ENPS won by scoring a goal in each half.

WrapUp - Slartibartfast FC 4 : 2 Scorers: On Tour (27., 37.), I need your help (16.), LMGTFY (84.) ***Grunthos the Flatulent (83.), Mrs Kapelsen (12.) An entertaining game with all of six goals, where the best team won out in the end.

Chicken Run - Night Owls 3 : 0 Scorers: Lena (58.), Lisa (68.), Caesar (14.) ***--- Booked: Ann Kristin ***--- No question which of the relegated Premiership sides aspire for a swift return...

Call of Cthulhu - Fantasy Finale 7 : 6 Scorers: The Rats in the Walls (14., 17., 60.), He (23., 42.), The Loved Dead (87.), The Colour out of Space (3.) ***Jagersmann (37., 43., 89.), Kell (1., 10., 24.) Wow! After some clubs putting on measly 0-0 performances, Call of Cthulhu and Fantasy Finale decided to show everyone how it's done. 13 goals, and the better side claimed both points.

Dummys - Love Songs 2 : 1 Scorers: Adze (66.), Koos (6.) ***Mad World (14.) Booked: --- ***I just died in your arms Dummys were the stronger team, and although Love Songs managed to come back once, they couldn't do it twice. Perhaps that will be the topic of the next billboards hit?

The Championship Match day 2 ======

Kremlin - Dummys 2 : 2 Scorers: Leonid Bungaloff (18.), Ludmilla Patina (40.) ***Moris (6., 85.) Dummys managed a slight upper hand here, but Kremlin saved a point. Love Songs - Call of Cthulhu 1 : 0 Scorers: Only the good die young (60.) ***--- Booked: --- ***He, Zaneh Love Songs bounce back with a fine win against the Lurking Fear.

Fantasy Finale - Chicken Run 2 : 1 Scorers: Frodo (58.) ***Lisa (14.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Arya, Wenona An even game, but where the better team got the penalty and converted that into a win.

Night Owls - WrapUp 4 : 2 Scorers: Barfly (15., 28., 49.), Great Grey Owl (86.) ***All for you (12.), Keep pushing (59.) Booked: Booze Fighter ***Go Back, Hurry up, On Tour The prestiguous Springy derby could have been won by either team, but Night Owls won thanks to a hattrick from Barfly.

Slartibartfast FC - ENPS 1 : 3 Scorers: Eccentrica Gallumbits (71.) ***Jan Velde (39., 56.), Marco Wielemakers (78.) A strong season start from ENPS. Here they pulled off a convincing away win.

Stars - Desassossego Blues 2 : 1 Scorers: Castor (53.), Regulus (45.) ***Thomas Crosse (76.) Stars were the stronger team and managed to get the two goals they needed to win.

Division 1 Match day 1 ======

Tamriel Athletic - Dead Dino Storage 1 : 0 Scorers: Bahk gro-Lurn (34.) ***--- Tamriel Athletic played a solid game and got both points through one goal.

Queen - Valiant City 7 : 0 Scorers: Wwry (13., 53., 68.), Liar (40., 77.), Nevermore (44.), Save Me (17.) ***--- Ouch! Queen wipe the pitch with Valiant City, and although the scoreline was a little overstated, they did deserve to win by six.

Twin Peaks Owls - Stadium Dreams 3 : 0 Scorers: Josie Packard (4., 75.), Laura Palmer (16.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Britannia Stadium Former champions Twin Peaks Owls appear to have regrouped, taking a very strong victory here.

Madmartigan City - the Professors of Jazz 1 : 0 Scorers: EiEi (74.) ***--- Madmartigan City started out with two players suspended, but managed to get a winning goal here nonetheless.

Lake Tanganyika - ForEverton 2 : 1 Scorers: Bifranatus (4.), Goudvis (71.) ***Jelly (58.)

ForEverton managed to equalise, but Lake Tanganyika claimed the win after another goal from Goudvis.

Ergodic Theorems - Dirigentia con Brio 1 : 0 Scorers: Zygmund (82.) ***--- A slow game where the home advantage proved decisive.

Division 1 Match day 2 ======

Dead Dino Storage - Ergodic Theorems 1 : 1 Scorers: Rick Wakeman (43.) ***Reidemeister (6.) Two teams which have seen both ups and downs, but so far this season it looks like Ergodic Theorems are about to see more ups. After winning round one, they were strongest here despite playing away.

Dirigentia con Brio - Lake Tanganyika 1 : 0 Scorers: V Aszkenazy (64.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: P Boulez ***M Auratus In the computer-controlled van der Laar-derby, Aszkenazy made sure everything stayed in tune and in perfect sync.

ForEverton - Madmartigan City 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***EiEi (3.), FiFi (36.) The game was closer than the scoreline indicates, but Madmartigan were better and they're looking really strong so far. the Professors of Jazz - Twin Peaks Owls 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Laura Palmer (29.) A pretty slow game, but with Twin Peaks Owls claiming just enough of an upper hand to win the game.

Stadium Dreams - Queen 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Nevermore (10.) Most times so far this season, the best teams have won out, but here is a rare steal. Stadium Dreams should have won this one, but Queen took both points after converting their only shot on goal.

Valiant City - Tamriel Athletic 5 : 2 Scorers: Holly Holdtight (33., 55.), Pia Pinner (9., 78.), Blenda Blaster (21.) ***Nash gro-Shug (19.), Aranea Drethan (35.) Valiant City managed the upper hand here, and were more efficient as well.

Division 2 Match day 1 ======

New Generation - Springfield United 1 : 3 Scorers: Voguish (11.) ***Monty Burns (19., 63.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Fashionable ***Apu, Rektor Skinner Wow! New Generation had complete control of this game... well, apparently, just almost complete control, considering that they somehow managed to lose.

Castaway - Make or Break 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Milchbrot (43.) Like their Fritz rivals, Make or Break managed a solid upper hand in the first game, and these boys actually managed to win it too.

The Scientists - Extreme 3 : 0 Scorers: Dalton (23., 65.), Blobel (10.) ***--- The second clearest win so far this season. Excellent first round performance by The Scientists.

Sheffield Thursday - Parsifal 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***P Neves (28., 80.), Volotek (51.) Although the game was a lot closer than the scoreline indicates, Parsifal had the better game plan and won out from that.

Car Park Rangers - Jirs Nightmare County 2 : 3 Scorers: Mystique (49., 87.) ***Abdul Meguid Mahmoud (19., 50.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Mystique ***Coloron An even game that was decided by the penalty the visitors got.

Thinkers FC - Sjokoladen BK 1 : 3 Scorers: Jean Paul Sartre (90.) ***Toblerone (55., 72.), Bounty (82.) Almost an hour passed before any action surfaced, but from there on and out, it was an entertaining game that Sjokoladen won pretty comfortably, especially since the consolidation goal didn't come before the last minute.

Division 2 Match day 2 ======

Springfield United - Thinkers FC 3 : 1 Scorers: Marge (86.), Martin Prince (27.), Milhouse (67.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Thinkers struggled to come up with a way to stand up to the home team, and in the end lost by two.

Sjokoladen BK - Car Park Rangers 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Mystique, Spiderman Not much happened from normal play in this game, but Sjokoladen got a penalty and secured the win from that.

Jirs Nightmare County - Sheffield Thursday 1 : 0 Scorers: Aploron (62.) ***--- Jirs Nightmare County secure the win with a lone goal in the second half.

Parsifal - The Scientists 5 : 3 Scorers: P Neves (55., 87.), Sleire (36., 61.), Volotek (1.) ***Watson (6., 72.), DeLamarck (34.) Booked: --- ***Koch A very entertaining match that was somewhat closer than the scoreline indicates. The home fans were heard outside the stadium, saying this is how football is meant to be played.

Extreme - Castaway 3 : 0 Scorers: Huistra (26., 50.), E. Koeman (46.) ***--- Extreme had extremely good control of this match.

Make or Break - New Generation 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Voguish (80.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Dreikornbrot, Joghurtbrot, Kommisbrot ***Fashionable, Sporty Make or Break were stronger, but New Generation claimed the win anyway.

Division 3 Match day 1 ======

Cosmopolitan - Yamagata Old Boys 11 : 1 Scorers: Moppie (2., 49., 57., 66., 79.), Waffle (13., 37., 68.), Courage (51.), Heritage (85.) ***Tim Penny (40.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Bob Slay, Ewan Mee Yamagata got a really harsh welcome to the league, playing away against an established team in their first game. They did get a goal, though!

Frillby United - Arendals Hotspur 1 : 1 Scorers: Arnold Poldim (59.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 (1 missed) Booked: Nevil Crumbie, Steven Wallace ***--- Frillby United had a clear upper hand in this game, but Arendals Hotspur saved one point by converting one of their two(!) dubious penalties.

Jirs Park Rangers - Gamblers United 1 : 2 Scorers: Ydloron (69.) ***Rudy Runquick (35., 44.) Sent off: Yjloron (51.) ***--- Booked: Aqloron ***Dahlia Darer, Polly Powerer, Sonya Solver Gamblers United were stronger even before JPR got a player suspended - I suppose that means we'll likely see Gamblers up a level next season?

Lunar Sea - Frock Frogs 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***Rumpetroll, The Scotsman Lunar Sea were the strongest team here, but Frock Frogs managed to escape with a goalless draw.

Oaks - Insomniacz S-Pulse 7 : 0 Scorers: Eswarah (13., 40., 51., 78.), Imagine (6., 28.), Kazzia (63.) ***--- Since the hosts probably are one of the biggest favourites to win the division this season, the visitors shouldn't lose any sleep over this result! Oh, wait.

Suginami Bad Boys - Saturday Morning FC 1 : 0 Scorers: Taro Naito (80.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Foghorn Leghorn, Postman Pat Taro Naito scores the goal that secures Suginami Bad Boys a win against a former Premiership team in their debut!

Division 3 Match day 2 ======

Yamagata Old Boys - Suginami Bad Boys 0 : 0 Booked: Stu Poore ***--- The Japanese derby come already in the first weekend. Yamagata Old Boys fought their way to an upper hand, but Suginami Bad Boys managed to keep their sheet clean and thus survive with a point. Saturday Morning FC - Oaks 1 : 5 Scorers: Pingu (63.) ***Unite (10., 38.), Sariska (89.), Kazzia (36.), Eswarah (33.) Oaks storm ahead with another big win. Barring other huge scorelines, that means they'll take the first place right off the bat - will they hold it the whole season?

Insomniacz S-Pulse - Lunar Sea 2 : 1 Scorers: Phillipe Mexes (85.), Thiago Silva (1.) ***Portia (14.) This match was completely evenly matched, but Insomniacz had the necessary lucky to come out victorious.

Frock Frogs - Jirs Park Rangers 1 : 3 Scorers: Rumpetroll (17.) ***Arloron (62.), Asloron (85.), Aqloron (13.) Frock Frogs were by far the better club in this match, but Jirs Park Rangers escaped with both points due to superior efficiency.

Gamblers United - Frillby United 2 : 0 Scorers: Polly Powerer (61.), Rudy Runquick (5.) ***--- Booked: Connie Confronter, Rudy Runquick ***Siscon Molek Gamblers United get two wins on their two first matches and are looking strong for this season.

Arendals Hotspur - Cosmopolitan 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Heritage (4.) Arendals Hotspur were actually a little stronger here, but Cosmopolitan claimed an early lead and managed to ride that until the very end.

13. Rosedale Knockout first round results

Desassossego Blues - Slartibartfast FC 4 : 3 Scorers: Vicente Guedes (9., 18.), Thomas Crosse (30.), Ricardo Reis (38.) *** Judiciary Pag (9., 75.), Hurling Frootmig (58.) Booked: Chevalier de Pas, Thomas Crosse ***--- A pretty even game, but with the Blues edging a goal ahead after being a little stronger than their Championship counterparts.

St. Helens - Frillby United 11 : 0 Scorers: notagainstformula1 (19., 74., 84.), Thisseasonisveryhard (9., 23., 67.), howcanidothis (39., 61.), averyhardseasonfollows (6.), newinpremiership (34.), justforfun (43.) ***--- Real tough draw for newcomers Frillby United, facing former champions St. Helens in the first round. They figured out how hard it was beforehand too and lined up accordingly.

Call of Cthulhu - Madmartigan City 2 : 1 ot. (1 : 1) Scorers: The Rats in the Walls (115.), The Silver Key (28.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Booked: The Lurking Fear, The Rats in the Walls, The Silver Key ***--- Madmartigan City put up a good fight against opposition from the division above, but Call of Cthulhu managed to secure advancement in overtime.

New Generation - FC Mokum 6 : 4 a.p. (1 : 1 ot., 1 : 1) Scorers: Trendy (67.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Wow! New Generation needed penalty kicks to knock out FC Mokum.

Currents of Space - Feyenoord 2 : 1 Scorers: Jim diGriz (76.), Angelina (78.) ***Gerard van de Korput (32.) A tough draw for these clubs, meeting fellow Premiership sides already. It was Currents of Space who had the upper hand in play, and they advanced too, which means my sympathy goes to Feyenoord for the unlucky draw.

Sheffield Thursday - Night Owls 0 : 2 ot. (0 : 0) Scorers: --- ***Barfly (119.), Dark Hunter (93.) Two clubs that recently played in the Premiership faced off in the first round, and Night Owls won out simply by wanting the win more.

Lunar Sea - Queen 0 : 15 Scorers: --- ***It's Late (4., 21., 78., 86.), Liar (14., 37., 45., 66.), Wwry (11., 70., 72., 80.), John Deacon (7., 31.), Nevermore (21.) Penalties: - (2 missed) ***- Sent off: --- ***Happiness (58.) Booked: --- ***It's Late, Nevermore Wow! Queen decided not to risk anything and went at this studs first. I think it's safe to say they would've won even if they went at it more calmly, though.

ENPS - Fjortoft's Friends 3 : 5 Scorers: Jan Velde (78.), Marco Wielemakers (47.), Ben de Leur (18.) ***Seppl (18., 62.), Holz (44., 50.), Wild Webbi (30.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Sent off: Peter Kersten (34.) ***--- Booked: Innuendo, Mark Hecker ***Holz ENPS went at it almost as hard as Queen did, but it backfired for them as Peter Kersten was sent off already in the first half, which Fjortoft's Friends capitalised on and won.

Illuminatus! - Fantasy Finale 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Gandalf (8., 33.), Vin (51.) Yes, Helli, it is definitely enough! No problem for Fantasy Finale against conference league opposition.

Stars - Insomniacz S-Pulse 6 : 1 Scorers: Algol (3., 37.), Castor (88.), Regulus (89.), Fomalhaut (65.), Pollux (1.) ***Alessandro Nesta (89.) Stars advanced as expected, but Alessandro Nesta secured a consolidation goal for our Indonesian participants.

Suginami Bad Boys - Make or Break 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- !! Suginami Bad Boys get one shot on goal through the match against Division 2 club Make or Break, and it's a penalty... and they score! A great cup bomb which might teach Klaus Fritz to be a little more careful with his bread lineups? :)

Tamriel Athletic - the Professors of Jazz 4 : 0 Scorers: Nash gro-Shug (43., 60., 85.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- A Division 1 duel that never became too exciting, since Nash gro-Shug was on fire.

Frock Frogs - FC Asskickers 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***John Cena (3.), Shawn Michaels (80.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Mr Green ***--- FC Asskickers are the reigning champions, but newcomers Frock Frogs gave them a good fight for the advancement here.

Serial Killers - Yamagata Old Boys 32 : 0 Scorers: Ivan Milat (14 goal$s), Gong Runbo (4., 24., 39., 56.), Arthur Shawcross (20., 31., 61., 64.), Angelo Buono (11., 65., 83.), Kenneth Bianchi (25., 60.), Henry Lee Lucas (34.), H. H. Holmes (46.), Peter Stumpp (10.), Yang Xinhai (1.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Bob Slay An ambitious Premiership side against a freshman team that smartly focuses on the league... leads to scorelines like this.

Magical World - Hope United 8 : 3 Scorers: Ulmo (61., 69.), Namo (20., 45.), Uskart (73., 86.), Merlin (35.), Oughat (1.) ***--- Premiership side Magical World as expected had little trouble knocking out Hope United, though they might find it a little worrisome to receive three goals in a match like this.

Botanica - Famous Battles 1 : 0 Scorers: Vinca Minor (11.) ***--- Botanica edge out the one goal they needed to knock out Famous Battles.

WrapUp - Extreme 2 : 1 ot. (1 : 1) Scorers: All for you (27., 94.) ***Weenink (76.) Booked: --- ***Huistra Extreme actually managed a small upper hand against opposition from two divisions above, but WrapUp survived the normal time and then scored the winning goal after 94 minutes.

Oaks - Valiant City 2 : 0 Scorers: Eswarah (75., 82.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Sally Savestopper Valiant City outplayed Oaks pretty clearly on the field, but they somehow didn't score at all, while Eswarah managed to put in two goals near the end, thus Division 3 side Oaks kick Division 1 side Valiant City out of the cup!

Car Park Rangers - Gamblers United 2 : 0 Scorers: Fantastic Four (63., 78.) ***--- Booked: Johnny Storm ***Rudy Runquick Car Park Rangers defend their honour by winning against a side from the division below.

Love Songs - ForEverton 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Love Songs managed an upper hand through normal play, but needed a penalty to advance to the second round.

Chicken Run - Saturday Morning FC 23 : 2 Scorers: Hellboy (7 goal$s), Doro Pesch (6 goal$s), Lena (14., 25., 70., 83.), Sina (44., 48., 87.), Lisa (20.), Aeon Flux (29.), Caesar (69.) *** Pororo (64.) Penalties: - ***1 (1 missed) Booked: Wenona ***Foghorn Leghorn, Thomas the Tank Engine Big kudos to Saturday Morning FC for trying against Championship opposition, but it clearly wasn't meant to be.

Jirs Nightmare County - Thinkers FC 4 : 0 Scorers: Cyloron (49., 60.), Abdul Meguid Mahmoud (15.), Buloron (32.) ***--- Booked: Boloron ***Arthur Schopenhauer A Division 2 duel where there seemed to be quite a bit of strength difference between the two clubs.

Sjokoladen BK - Arendals Hotspur 3 : 0 Scorers: Bounty (37., 73.), Toblerone (52.) ***--- Chocolate managed to overcome Hotspur without melting.

The Scientists - Jirs Park Rangers 5 : 0 Scorers: Watson (44., 64.), Humboldt (18.), Sanger (52.), Watt (82.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Yfloron The Scientists had researched this match properly and had no problems advancing.

Parsifal - Twin Peaks Owls 1 : 0 Scorers: R. Kunz (54.) ***--- Parsifal found the right strategy to defeat opposition from the division above them.

Dead Dino Storage - Formula 1 Legends 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Fernando Alonso (8., 41.) Booked: Peter Gabriel ***Nick Heidfeld Formula 1 Legends really wanted to win this game, and that's what happened.

Stadium Dreams - Dirigentia con Brio 1 : 3 Scorers: Pride Park Stadium (62.) ***P Boulez (86.), Davis (56.), Stokowski (23.) Booked: The Valley ***--- Dirigentia con Brio played a solid game and were clearly stronger here.

Ergodic Theorems - Erkrath Gladiators 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Jorg (72.), Ben (25.) Booked: --- ***Klein Erkrath Gladiators easily advanced against Division 1 opposition.

Springfield United - Ubermenschen 0 : 4 Scorers: --- ***Weber (7.), Hegel (4.), Heidegger (52.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Marge ***Borchert, Heidegger A clear and safe win for Ubermenschen.

Kremlin - Enga 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Amin Nouri, Mohamed Fellah, Mohamed Sayyed Tantawi Enga were slightly stronger in this game, but Kremlin got and converted a penalty, which saw them through to the next round.

Lake Tanganyika - Cosmopolitan 7 : 0 Scorers: Goudvis (29., 58., 89.), Calvus (64.), Melanchromis (72.), Bifranatus (44.), Xenothilapia (31.) ***--- Lake Tanganyika gets the win against Division 3 side Cosmopolitan.

14. GM's ramble

(for the main information, refer to the Introduction)

So there are the first results. Some of you will be happy with them and some not, that's the nature of the trade. But lets take a look at who has been luckiest and unluckiest so far: Premiership: Formula 1 Legends are the only team standing out as lucky, while both Formula 1 Legends and Enga have been noticeably unlucky. Championship: Here ENPS started out luckiest. No team is a whole point behind schedule. Division 1: Queen got a lucky start, while Stadium Dreams had the opposite. Division 2: Springfield United started out luckiest, while Car Park Rangers started out unluckiest. Division 3: Most fortunate were Cosmopolitan and Jirs Park Rangers. Tough luck was had by Frock Frogs and Lunar Sea.

Apart from that, I've updated the homepage with the new clubs. If someone wants to add/change information about their club on the homepage, just let me know!
