4. League results Rosedale Open Match day 7 ======

Gangsters United - Batt in Blax 3 : 4 Scorers: Svarte Petter (13., 21.) ***Stephen Fleming (3., 12., 24.), James Marshall (50.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Martin Crowe Batt in Blax rise up from last place with this impressive, and rather lucky away win. Gangsters have been strong at home and weak away so far, unless the away record starts to change, they're going to struggle! the Ancients - Call of Cthulhu 2 : 0 Scorers: Rhamphorhynchus (6.) ***--- Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Fthaggua, Ythogtha the Oldtimers have started their run, and once again win deservedly at the Archeological Site, passing the Lurking Fear on the table.

Sale Savoyards - Camarilla Divided 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Radomir Wise and Mighty Brujah (60.), Geen the mysterious (70.) Play against one goal at the Savoy tonight, and Generation X surges towards the top of the table.

Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - Saturday Morning FC 7 : 0 Scorers: Dick Turpin (36., 73., 79., 87.), Rudi van Hal (21.), Chalky (31.) *** --- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Foghorn Leghorn Another play against one goal match, but this time the winners were ridiculously efficient.

Monkey Business - Les Gaulois 0 : 0 Monkey Business picks the right strategy for a goalless draw against Les Gaulois. A tactical, important point for the Pirates Wannabe and coach Brill. This gives the Stabbers the chance to pass Les Gaulois if they win their game...

Mishima Zaibatsu - World Ambassadors 3 : 2 Scorers: (55., 57.), 5 (44.) ***Armor (33.), Marvin O. Bagman (73.) Booked: True ***R.P. Tyler Both teams had decided this was an important match, and luckily for both, the referee was of the blind sort. The home crowd gave those who heed the call just enough of an advantage to see them through to a one goal win.

Rosedale Open Match day 8 ======

World Ambassadors - Monkey Business 5 : 2 Scorers: Bishamonten (56., 83., 88.), Marvin O. Bagman (24., 48.) ***Blondbeard (50.), Griswold Goudsoup (14.) Monkey Business faced the top two teams this weekend, but after the impressive draw last round, they couldn't put up much fight against the Stabbers.

Les Gaulois - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 3 : 7 Scorers: Segregationnix (60.), Tragicomix (51.), Aplusbegalix (14.) ***Dick Turpin (57., 60., 75.), Beau Barnett (3., 19.), Lou Giacobbi (78.), Jaime Hernez (18.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Prolix ***Beau Barnett The Apocalypse pass Les Gaulois after a strong performance at Baborum, winning deservedly.

Saturday Morning FC - Mishima Zaibatsu 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Squirtle, Top Cat ***Doctor Boskonovich, A match with lots of play and chances, but it was seemingly impossible to get goals from normal play. However, the 2Ds got a penalty that they converted, and get two important points in their relegation struggle.

Call of Cthulhu - Sale Savoyards 0 : 0 The home team was stronger in the Arkham Asylum tonight, but both teams defended well, and a goalless draw is a pretty good representation of the game.

Camarilla Divided - Gangsters United 2 : 0 Scorers: the little boy (41.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Gale Mattias, Vinnie Jones Generation X enters the top three with yet another play against one goal game.

Batt in Blax - the Ancients 2 : 1 Scorers: Andre Adams (75.), James Marshall (9.) ***Dromiceiomimus (18.) Booked: Andre Adams ***--- Thigns suddenly look a lot less precarious for Batt in Blax, after a fine weekend, and at least this one a deserved win.

Lexington League Match day 7 ======

Dangermouse - NotReallyNewBremenCyberdruids 5 : 1 Scorers: Leatherhead (7., 62.), Isanbard (33., 88.), Agent 57 (41.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Mad Manuel ***--- NRNBC is one of the hardest rebuild efforts to do through the history of Rosedale, but are down to losing by four goals now - moving in the right direction! Dangermouse, of course, was a lot stronger, and definitely deserved to win.

Grunts United - Desassossego Blues 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Bernando Soares (52.), Vicente Guedes (21.) Booked: --- ***Fernando Pessoa Table-toppers Desassossego Blues wins reasonably comfortably at Shraaaag Memorial Stadium. Better team combined with more spirit is a winning combination.

Brazil Star Conquerors - Sheffield Thursday 2 : 1 Scorers: Rivaldo (4.), Socrates (21.) ***Dave Kaplan (3.) Relegation strugglers Sheffield Thursday got a shock start, taking the lead at ER's Arena already after 3 minutes. However, Rivaldo promptly equalised, and Brazil managed to see through their deserved win in the end.

First Men of Rome - The 5 Percent Community 9 : 0 Scorers: Julius Caesar (10., 52., 67.), Luber Beuthach (23., 33., 41.), Virgil (15., 19.), Plutarch (36.) ***--- The Toga Boys dominate completely at the Colosseum, and put a serious dent in the Greedy Retards' promotion ambitions. With just four points to catch up themselves, they just need a good run of form to compete.

Car Park Rangers - Dead Dino Storage 5 : 3 Scorers: Ben Grimm (2., 30.), Bruce Wayne (22., 85.), Bobby Drake (8.) *** Junipher Greene (7.), 3rd And The Mortal (72.), Hole in the Wall (45.) Booked: Jay Garrick ***Alex Valencia, Ines Project Table neighbours facing off wherever evil-doers roam tonight, and the Powers took good advantage of the home crowd, and won quite deservedly in an entertaining match.

Monster Time - Flaaklypa FK 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Ben Reddik Fy Fasan (46.) Booked: Blister ***Jimmy McQuick Flaaklypa FK are unbeaten so far this year, and keep up their great play with an impressive, deserved win in the Dungeon. The Monsters simply weren't monstrous enough tonight.

Lexington League Match day 8 ======

Flaaklypa FK - Car Park Rangers 2 : 0 Scorers: Jimmy McQuick (42.), Roger Jurtappen (90.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- (1 missed) Booked: Jimmy McQuick ***--- Flaaklypa gave Solan Gundersen some rest, but still dominated and won rather comfortably at Krokryggen. The Powers only occasionally managed to cross the middle line.

Dead Dino Storage - First Men of Rome 2 : 6 Scorers: 3rd And The Mortal (14., 88.) ***Luber Beuthach (28., 50., 67.), Julius Caesar (18., 75.), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (50.) Booked: --- ***Luber Beuthach, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus With a bit of fighting spirit, this could've been a strategical victory for the home team. However, the Toga Boys were efficient and fought much harder, and managed to win on a bad day.

The 5 Percent Community - Monster Time 2 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Wolfman (49.) Penalties: 2 ***- Sent off: --- ***IT! (69.) Booked: --- ***Godzilla The Greedy Retards show themselves completely inept in front of goal, but at least they still can convert their penalties. With Monster Time finishing the game with 10 players, after IT! happened, the home team managed to keep both points.

Desassossego Blues - Brazil Star Conquerors 2 : 0 Scorers: Alvaro de Campos (35.), Vicente Guedes (65.) ***--- Booked: Alvaro de Campos, Vicente Guedes ***Falcao The Blues have won everything so far, and keep up the good work against the 5-Stars. This must've been one of the closest matches for them this year, though, as Brazil were quite close to a draw despite the scoreline.

Sheffield Thursday - Dangermouse 5 : 1 Scorers: Jeff Gordon (35., 65.), Slaking (30.), Dave Ricker (59.), Manda Ryan (13.) ***Isanbard (38.) Sent off: Dave Kaplan (58.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Buggles Pigeon, Leatherhead, Penfold The Owls do their part in keeping the Mouseketeers behind them for now, with a solid and deserved home win at Hillsborough Stadium.

NotReallyNewBremenCyberdruids - Grunts United 1 : 3 Scorers: Chris Standbracker (80.) ***Terry Toopatch (6., 86.), Potato (62.) The Cyberdruids keep getting closer, and now only lost with two goals. Still, the Greenskins were too strong tonight, and advance back out of the relegation zone.

Berkeley Conference Match day 7 ======

All Black Moonlighters - Real Johto 4 : 2 Scorers: John 'Quattordici' Kirwan (19., 46.), Grant 'Pinpoint' Fox (77.), Chris 'Tower' Jack (35.) ***Shroomish (52.) Penalties: - ***1 (1 missed) the AB's are solid as rock at home, and weren't at all threatened tonight - Real Johto losing by only two goals here is a clear flattery.

Wizards of Oz - Odd Athletics 7 : 2 Scorers: Tinman (27., 30., 57., 74.), Flying Monkey (4., 11., 51.) ***Odd K. Bentsen (45., 74.) Booked: Belgarath ***Odd O. Occean The Magi get two important points by outplaying and beating the Weirdoes at home, passing them on the table. Both teams are primarily home teams, so few were shocked by this.

Jedi Order - Marvel Comics 1 : 4 Scorers: Mace Windu (61.) ***Juggernaut (61., 69.), Christie Monteiro (71.), Colossus (7.) Booked: --- ***Gambit The computer makes a real blooper for the Lightside, making Mace Windu and the others really wish they had managerial guidance. As the match was played, Marvel Comics were several sizes too big for Jedi Order, and won very easily.

Erkrath Gladiators - Ajax 4 : 0 Scorers: Tokeyo Hanashu (58.), Joerg Sieslack (51.), Heiner Johanns (89.) *** --- Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: Ragnar Blumke ***Charisteas, van der Vaart Top against bottom at Kampfbahn an der Gink, and the Lunatics won rather easily as expected. Kudos to Ajax for trying, but the skill difference between the clubs was simply too big.

Furinkan Matsudai Doshitemo - Knights of the Round Ball 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Rhuvawn the Radiant son of D. (8., 88.) Despite key suspensions, Knights of the Round Ball keep on their undefeated streak, winning at St. Hebereke (Dead Drunk) Stadium. Perhaps the Nerimaniacs had been just a tad too heavy on the sake?

Twin Peaks Owls - Sleep Wanderers 1 : 0 Scorers: Haunter (21.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Dream There were really only one team on One-Eyed Jacks tonight, and although only one of the shots went in, they had the match in their hands after the goal, given Sleep Wanderers never got a shot on goal.

Berkeley Conference Match day 8 ======

Sleep Wanderers - Furinkan Matsudai Doshitemo 5 : 0 Scorers: Brute (7., 43.), Dream (54.), Death (19.), Delirium (41.) ***--- Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Sent off: --- ***Genji Heita (4.) Booked: Death ***--- The Night Terrors fed Trion two points, but nobody noticed - they just rolled over the Nerimaniacs. With the latter even getting Genji Heita sent off for far-fetched explainations early in the first half, there was no doubt whatsoever where the points would end up.

Knights of the Round Ball - Erkrath Gladiators 1 : 8 Scorers: Kynddilig the guide (52.) ***Joerg Sieslack (1., 48., 88.), Ragnar Blumke (64., 78.), Heiner Johanns (54., 81.), Jonathan Culham (59.) Booked: Rhuvawn the Radiant son of D. ***Dietmar Augustin The unbeaten streak of Caledvwlch ends at home against Lunatics, who outplayed them completely. Most bookmakers should be expecting both these to be promoted, though.

Ajax - Twin Peaks Owls 0 : 0 Booked: Charisteas, Mitea ***--- The Bookhouse Boys make a display of terrible forward form, and allow Ajax to get away with a very lucky point at Arena.

Odd Athletics - Jedi Order 11 : 3 Scorers: Odd O. Occean (17., 29., 30., 55.), Odd K. Bentsen (9., 43., 70., 86.), Odd Harald Rex (12., 50.), Odd Nando Papaya (41.) ***Mace Windu (5.), Darth Revan (6.), Leia Organa Solo (68.) In Vehusheia's absence, the Lightside get another deserved loss, as the Weirdoes bag two digits worth of goals.

Marvel Comics - All Black Moonlighters 3 : 1 Scorers: Vampire (23.), Juggernaut (84.), Groxo (67.) ***John 'Quattordici' Kirwan (86.) Booked: --- ***Carlos 'Lady's Man' Spencer Marvel Comics are really rolling up the table now, brushing aside all opposition. If they keep this up for a couple of weeks, they'll enter the promotion zone!

Real Johto - Wizards of Oz 7 : 4 Scorers: Shroomish (49., 65.), Aron (13., 27.), Togepi (86.), Pidgey (34.) *** Raistlin (4., 34., 45.), TicToc (65.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Pidgey, Poliwag ***Gandalf Real Johto claim two much needed points at home against a Magi team stronger than them on paper. These points won't let them leave the relegation zone this week, but will keep them closer to the teams in front of them.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 7 ======

New Underdogs FC - G.I.D. 2 : 3 Scorers: Lars Martin Engedal (20., 62.) ***Schizophrenia (22., 89.), Thoughts (18.) Two points for Trion from G.I.D., but it didn't matter - New Underdogs FC were yet again without their manager, and were reasonably lucky to even score.

Lords - Greensleeves United 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***Roger Ripley Greensleeves keep up their draw-all-away-matches record, but were incredibly lucky not to lose this one to managerless Lords. Lords had all the shots on goal, but somehow couldn't convert anything - let's blame that on the absence of a manager :) the Blitzball Team - Pocket Valley Philosophers 2 : 0 Scorers: Luck (40.), Alexis (71.) ***--- The Blitzballers are starting to get used to not having their manager around, and won quite comfortably at home at Zanarkand Memorial Stadium.

March of the Black Queen - Fluffy Bunny Eaters 2 : 1 Scorers: Marco Delvecchio (71.), Vincenzo Montella (14.) ***Cuddles jr. (70.) The very prestiguous Brill derby at Giuseppe Meazza was quite even, and could have gone either way. The Black Knights got a lead early in the first half, and it took a long while until the Tubbies could equalise. When Marco Delvecchio put the home team up one immediately after, the Tubbies seemingly gave up, and MOTBQ is the winner of this memorable match.

Dummys - Kremlin 1 : 2 Scorers: Kanta Zelja (4.) ***Anatol Mischif (60.), Diwan Palavrian (71.) Kremlin got a cold shower after 4 minutes, but through their stronger performance grinded themselves back into the match in the second half, and won deservedly.

Scrubs - FC Mokum 6 : 7 Scorers: The Todd (12., 55., 61.), Carla (2., 6.), Dr Cox (89.) ***Charisteas (16., 24., 33.), Gullit (38., 76.), Advocaat (4.), Nelisse (82.) Booked: Ted ***Nelisse FC Mokum fed Trion three points this match, but still were strong enough to beat their closest opposition away - anything but topping their league will be a disappointment to AZ Alkmaar now.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 8 ======

FC Mokum - Dummys 6 : 0 Scorers: Advocaat (2., 51., 64.), Charisteas (88.), Gullit (33.), Nelisse (71.) ***--- Of course, at home against Dummys, FC Mokum could just surf to an easy win, especially since the away team had no manager present.

Kremlin - March of the Black Queen 6 : 0 Scorers: Oleg Satin (15., 33., 38., 76.), Sergei Eatstumuch (53.), Diwan Palavrian (21.) ***--- Kremlin reenters the promotion zone with this big win against the Black Knights. The scoreline was rather flattering, but their win was never really threatened.

Fluffy Bunny Eaters - Scrubs 5 : 2 Scorers: Giggles jr. (37., 76., 84.), Cuddles jr. (14.), Sugar jr. (36.) *** Carla (61.), Elliot (43.) Booked: --- ***Carla The Tubbies regain their feet by defeating fellow promotion strugglers Scrubs. The away team will be glad being done with the two matches of this week, and look forward to easier challenges in the coming weeks.

Greensleeves United - the Blitzball Team 4 : 0 Scorers: Edward Sykes (4., 24., 53.), Cato (89.) ***--- In the absence of Grete Scarborough, Greensleeves get their first win of the season, against a team that could have been fighting for promotion.

Pocket Valley Philosophers - New Underdogs FC 2 : 1 Scorers: Pythagoras (55.), Rousseau (82.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 (1 missed) Booked: Clausewitz ***--- New Underdogs FC had no shots from normal play, but were awarded two penalties by the hyperactive referee. However, the Drunken Thinkers were fairly effective, and saw through the deserved home win against managerless NUFC.

G.I.D. - Lords 4 : 1 Scorers: Schizophrenia (40., 67.), Trance (20., 41.) ***Venceslav Japelj (56.) New record for most certain win tonight; G.I.D. had only minuscule chances of not winning this one.

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

Extreme - Harestua IL 0 : 4 Scorers: --- ***John Ola Tollefsrud (24.), Simon Oesterhus (75.), Nicolai Friis (60.), (77.) Extreme are in excellent form nowadays, but Harestua IL belongs on a higher level, and managed (somewhat lucky) to keep a clean sheet while bagging four.

Shareholders Divided - Disney Classics 3 : 5 Scorers: Domingo Giovanni (4., 90.), Calypso Giovanni (49.) ***Mowgli (3., 78.), Mulan (27.), Elastigirl (29.), Sjasmin (28.) With no manager present, the more experienced team won deservedly.

FC Asskickers - Coventry 6 : 1 Scorers: Hulk Hogan (12., 38., 47., 70., 75.), Chris Jericho (63.) ***Roger Markham (14.) Booked: --- ***Freddie Foot The Asskickers keep up their unusual strategies, and get another deserved win in the Ring. Coventry travels home to Highfield Road - can they get more points there?

20th Century Dictators - PSV 0 : 0 Booked: Hirohito, Pol Pot, Stalin ***van Bommel The top match of the round, with the home team fighting themselves to be the stronger of the two, but not with quite enough to get that decisive goal. Still, impressive to be the first to take a point off PSV, and espeically as it was deserved.

Slartibartfast FC - Dream Team 1 : 0 Scorers: Rob McKenna (51.) ***--- Booked: Agrajag, Murray Boost Henson, Oolon Colluphid, Rob McKenna ***--- Slartibartfast FC get their first win of the season with their innovative new strategy! This puts extra pressure on Coventry and Shareholders Divided to avoid that fatal last place.

Sofia Inseminaters - Blue Revolution 2 : 1 Scorers: Khaled al-Mifsud (25., 82.) ***Axel (61.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Jared Cocksucker ***--- The Nerds had their manager back, and won deservedly against the Challengers.

South Keys Slugfest Match day 8 ======Blue Revolution - Slartibartfast FC 3 : 0 Scorers: Rage (38.) ***--- Penalties: 2 ***- Sent off: --- ***Trin Tragula (48.) Booked: --- ***Agrajag, Murray Boost Henson Slartibartfast FC already had their two points for the weekend, so they let Blue Revolution have theirs. We say with the Jedis... Rage... taking... over!

Dream Team - 20th Century Dictators 2 : 1 Scorers: Realist (22.) ***Wilhelm II (1.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Baby Doc, Mussolini, Wilhelm II It's not the Happy Tyrants' weekend, as they were slightly stronger again, but got no points at all at the World tonight. With this, Dream Team at least seem rather safe from joining the relegation struggle.

PSV - Sofia Inseminaters 4 : 0 Scorers: Bouma (55.), Lee (80.), van Bommel (19.), Venegoor (62.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Chokey Chikens PSV resumes the winning parade, winning with four goals despite a missed penalty.

Disney Classics - FC Asskickers 3 : 4 Scorers: Peter Pan (12., 64., 83.) ***Chris Jericho (8., 28., 62., 84.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Chris Jericho, Lex Luger Even without their manager, Disney Classics almost managed to take a point off the Hotshots. But just almost. FC Asskickers are still impressing greatly in their first season, and are just one point behind first place.

Coventry - Extreme 0 : 1 Penalties: - ***1 (1 missed) Booked: Fredrik Stroemstad, Robert Billings ***--- Neither team managed to score from normal play, but the referee was rather strict with the Sky Blues, giving Extreme two penalties of which they converted one.

Harestua IL - Shareholders Divided 3 : 0 Scorers: Simon Oesterhus (18.), Marius Ohren (30.), Paal Tollefsrud (37.) *** --- Booked: Paal Tollefsrud, Thomas Bergsli ***--- Even without spending their full home advantage, Harestua IL didn't have much troubles against newcomers SHareholders Divided. 3-0 and continued presence in the promotion zone.

14. GM's ramble

We got a bit better with submissions than last week; this week, 53 out of the 60 teams submitted orders. RO and LL had 12/12, BC 11/12, KS 8/12 and SS 10/12. Totals are now at: Rosedale Open: 47 out of 48, Lexington League: 46 out of 48, Berkeley Conference: 47 out of 48, Kirkwood Showdown: 35 out of 48, South Keys Slugfest: 43 out of 48. New Underdogs FC, Lords, Blitzball Team, Dummys and Disney Classics need to submit orders next issue, or they will be free for takeover.

The medal zone is now made up of three teams with 12 points each, Lower Tadfield Apocalypse, World Ambassadors and Camarilla Divided. Les Gaulois follow closest, with one point less. In the relegation zone, we find Monkey Business with 6 points and Gangsters United and Saturday Morning FC with 5 points each, but another three teams have 6 points. The luckiest team of Rosedale Open is World Ambassadors, and the unluckiest is Mishima Zaibatsu.

Desassossego Blues maintain their lead in Lexington League with 16 points out of 16. Flaaklypa FK have 14 points and Brazil Star Conquerors 12, making up the rest of the promotion zone. In the relegation zone, we find Sheffield Thursday with four points, Dangermouse with three points, and Not Really New Bremen Cyberdruids still without points. Karma kings of Lexington are Desassossego Blues, and the karma drain is Sheffield Thursday.

Erkrath Gladiators, Twin Peaks Owls and Knights of the Round Ball have made a new tie in Berkeley Conference, having 12 points each. They have a two point lead down to Odd Athletics. The trailing three are Real Johto with 5 points, Ajax with two points and Jedi Order with one point. Knights of the Round Ball has had most luck so far, while All Black Moonlighters have been on the receiving end of that stick.

In Kirkwood Showdown, FC Mokum now has advanced further, having 15 points. G.I.D. and Kremlin follow closest, two points behind. Relegation looms closest to Lords (4), March of the Black Queen (4), Dummys (4) and New Underdogs FC (3). Luckiest are Pocket Valley Philosophers, and unluckiest are Fluffy Bunny Eaters.

PSV gave a point for the first time of the season, but still lead South Keys Slugfest alone, now with 15 points. Harestua IL and FC Asskickers chase just one point behind. At the bottom, Shareholders Divided and Coventry have two points each, with one point up to Slartibartfast FC. The luckiest of the Slugfest is PSV, and the unluckiest is 20th Century Dictators.

Luckiest of all is Desassossego Blues, followed by World Ambassadors and Knights of the Round Ball. The unluckiest of all is Mishima Zaibatsu, followed by Sheffield Thursday and 20th Century Dictators.

The home advantage is still 7 VP. In the next issue, rounds 9 and 10 will be played, plus the 3rd round of the Rosedale Knockout.

The deadline for issue 6 is Friday, July 29, at 2130 CET.

I will send out the teams shortly.
