Jaap Smolders, Ajax: «Today we play at home against angstgegner Rosedale Quest, well i hope there quest won't succeed. We will play fast and furious to collect the win...»

Jørgen Bjørnelv, Andeby FK: «Folka i Andeby likte faktisk det som gutta laga, det var ingen som klaga, de blei ikke jaga for de synes faktisk det var fett med masse farger overalt, bedre enn før da alt var grått og kaldt. Bare Skrue syns at gutta var non sleipe skurker som ødla all betongen hans med maling burker. Han ringte ned til Politimester Fiks som sa: "Gutta kanke tas, de kan for mange triks!" At gutta kunne triks, det hadde han rett i for gutta sjekk opp Hetti, Letti og Netti og hvis du har sett de blir du nok sjokkert, for sånna ting i Donald blir alltid sensurert. De havna på tjukka, niesene! Men det blikke fortalt til leserne. For ting ekke alltid akkurat som du tror, i Andeby eller på stedet der du bor!»

Sean Cable, DC Red Hot and Blues: «Looks like even the Mighty R'Ley couldn't outfox Carl Rove. He ought to watch for the Hounds of Tindalos...»

Håvard Pettersen, Flaaklypa FK: «*sniff* something smells toasted... Where is that bird?»

Zim the Invader, Grorud Grasshuggers: «Squealy Fools! These human filthies should be honored to be considered as possible friends of Zim.»

Lenny Lesser, Grunts United: «If only I had magic shoes...»

Jørgen B. Vehusheia, Jedi Order: «It's not easy being green»

Rosedale Open Match day 11 ======

Call of Cthulhu - Grorud Grasshuggers 1 : 2 Scorers: Dagon (68.) ***Tingelingling (29.), Herb (71.) Booked: --- ***Felix Leiter The Lurking Fear was weakened by suspensions, and the Grasshuggers managed to turn a small advantage in play into a one-goal away win.

Camarilla Divided - the Blitzball Team 9 : 0 Scorers: Malcolm Middle (75., 82., 86.), Charlie 'Smallpox' Guthrie (31., 77.), Paige 'Heihei' Duff (72.), Bill the Clueless Brujah (79.), Pierre 'Shotgun' Duval (58.), Carla 'Narrow-minded' Walston (5.) ***--- Most of the Blitzballers were suspended for the match, and last years' champions didn't have much trouble converting that to a win.

Jedi Order - Sale Savoyards 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Chancellor (33., 51.) Booked: Darth Malek ***--- The Lightside probably need some Ewok assistance as they were overrun by visiting Singers in a galaxy far, far away.

Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Grunts United 0 : 0 Booked: Dominic 'Victim' Hobson ***Lenny Lesser, Murky Musksmell The Cyberdruids had 3 players out with suspensions, and lost 18 VP to the 3:1 rule, so it was only by paying out a bit of the saved up karma they managed to hold a draw against visiting Greenskins.

Saturday Morning FC - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Carmine Zuigiber (43.) Booked: Squirtle ***--- A rather close match at ACME Park, but with SMFC having spent their luck so far in the season, the Apocalypse got both points from a goal right before half time. the Ancients - Stranraer Reserves 10 : 0 Scorers: Heterodontosaurus (18., 45., 58., 79., 89.), Euoplocephalus (4., 64.), Tyrannosaurus (4., 26.), Mammoth (68.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Seamus MacShort Stranraer was heavily weakened by the suspensions, and a little extra by the 3:1 rule, and stood no chance at the Archeological site.

Rosedale Open Match day 12 ======

Call of Cthulhu - Grunts United 1 : 1 Scorers: Shub-Niggurath (32.) ***Defty Metalspike (33.) Booked: Hastur ***Mean Middlefielder The Lurking Fear and the Greenskins have been separated by a mere point for the first two seasons, and this time it's the Greenskins that are leading. The match was depicted fairly well by the score, although the home team was marginally stronger.

Camarilla Divided - Jedi Order 7 : 0 Scorers: Malcolm Middle (4., 67., 82., 90.), Jerry 'Informed' Time (61.), Paige 'Heihei' Duff (13.), Bill the Clueless Brujah (30.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Luke Skywalker Malcolm Middle is welcomed by the crowd in the Mansion Cellar, and Generation X now appears as prime medal candidates with this convincing win against Jedi Order. Stranraer Reserves - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 0 : 12 Scorers: --- ***Chalky (22., 59., 79., 84., 89.), Witchfinder Major Saucepan (8., 11., 19., 70.), The man (63., 75.), Wensleydale (14.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Sent off: Wayne Sweat (10.) ***--- Booked: Dean Arman, Heiyu Hoyahamahia, Kenny Kikkett ***--- The question today at Stair Park was, who's that guy? Kenny Kikkett? There's only one answer to that: Jesse Ken! Unfortunately, he didn't hit the ball, and got himself a yellow card instead.

Sale Savoyards - Saturday Morning FC 5 : 3 Scorers: Chancellor (23.), Strephon (78.), Hilarian (87.), Sam (66.) ***Pinky (15., 86.), George of the Jungle (57.) Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Pinky, Squirtle The 2Ds convinced at the Savoy, but seem to be making paybacks on the karma account - only adding strength to the medal whisperings among the Gilbertians, of course. the Blitzball Team - the Ancients 1 : 2 Scorers: Kimahri (35.) ***Eohippus (54.), Mammoth (32.) Booked: Ophelia ***--- The Blitzballers outplayed the Oldtimers quite easily at Zanarkand Stadium, but were terribly inefficient in front of the goal compared to their visitors, and got no league points from this.

Grorud Grasshuggers - Really New Bremen Cyberdruids 1 : 1 Scorers: The Doom Song (34.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 (1 missed) Booked: SnooSnoo ***Gregorio Vinchester, Gregory, Xen Xiaoping Another 9 points to the evil 3:1 monster means the Cyberdruids were once again a bit lucky to get away with a draw. Mind you, there's a lot of karma in that bucket where this came from...

Lexington League Match day 11 ======

Monkey Business - Gangsters United 9 : 2 Scorers: The SCUMM bar chef (18., 35., 38., 69., 88.), Skeleton Bob (3., 57.), Stan (50.) ***Tony Soprano (81.), Nina Myers (1.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Threeheaded Monkey ***Michael Corleone, The Joker Monkey Business manager Espen Brill had great respect for fellow promotion contenders Gangsters, and attempted to field 12 players. With Otis sent away to train against his machine, it turned out they didn't really need him - they were flattered by the scoreline, but the home win was comfortable enough.

Trivial Brief Association - Car Park Rangers 8 : 2 Scorers: Receiver of Message (9., 14., 38., 70.), Norwegian Truck Herder (10., 27.), Concealed Incognito Acter (78.), Fairly Brutal Inspectors (82.) ***Remy Le Beau (86.), Tommy Monaghan (47.) Booked: Raw Acrobatic Flyer ***--- The Shorties just missed the 3:1 rule, but the Powers were no threat to them, so it had no consequences.

Mishima Zaibatsu - First Men of Rome 3 : 3 Scorers: Carlos Alberto (42.), Yoshimitsu (66.), Asuka Kazama (14.) ***Tiberius Gracchus (81.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (43.), Gaius Marius (28.) Booked: --- ***Gaius Julius Caesar, Gaius Marius It's poetic justice that the lucky bastards of the Iron Fist Tournament wasted lots of chances and drew this game against the run of play, considering the visitors have been followed by nightmarish conversions for weeks and weeks. It doesn't make up for much for either team's extreme karma deviations, but it's a start!

Dial Square FC - Marvel Comics 4 : 1 Scorers: Pires (52., 85.), Fabregas (31.), Vieira (22.) ***Gambit (11.) Booked: --- ***Iceman, Pyro DM: The comics drew first blood with an early goal in this one. After that however, it was all one way traffic as Dial Square FC knocked in 4 goals in reply for a comfortable home win.

Dangermouse - Dead Dino Storage 2 : 1 Scorers: Dangermouse (32., 56.) ***The Tangent (2.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: --- ***Pink Floyd, , Transatlantic DDS gave the Mouseketeers a surprisingly hard fight with a goal right off the bat and tough effort throughout the match, but Dangermouse managed to score twice and thus keep steaming ahead towards a good finish.

Desassossego Blues - Coventry 28 : 1 Scorers: Thomas Crosse (12 goal$s), Alberto Caeiro (8 goal$s), Fernando Pessoa (6., 9., 28., 41., 62.), Alvaro de Campos (26., 82.), Pantaleao (11.) ***Mikey Michaels (6.) Booked: Barao de Teive ***--- !! Boom, and the fireworks started - the match exploded in an avalanche of goals.

Lexington League Match day 12 ======

Monkey Business - Marvel Comics 7 : 1 Scorers: The SCUMM bar chef (10., 45., 54., 76.), Carla (31.), Elaine Marley (20.), Skeleton Bob (79.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Elaine Marley ***--- Once again Otis tried to be the 12th man, but Marvel Comics couldn't really resist even with 11 against 11. One has to consider whether Otis should get a suspension, though...?

Trivial Brief Association - Mishima Zaibatsu 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Daddy Bear (12.), Matthew Bright (50.) Booked: Fairly Brutal Inspectors ***--- DM: Mishima Zaibatsu continue to be unstoppable this season both through a depth of talent and several lucky breaks. Even at home TBA could do nothing to prevent another win to those that heed the call.

Coventry - Dead Dino Storage 0 : 11 Scorers: --- ***Spock's Beard (21., 48., 88.), Arena (23., 44., 75.), Transatlantic (38., 56.), The Flower Kings (9., 67.), OSI (66.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- DM: Coventry continue to disappoint langusihing at the bottom of the Division. They failed to put up a fight against a team only a few places above them and relegation seems a certainty even at this stage of the season. DDS on the other hand were impressive in dispatching them with a whirlwind 11 goals. Perhaps a promsie of things to come from them.

First Men of Rome - Dangermouse 1 : 4 Scorers: Spartacus (36.) ***Dangermouse (55., 80.), The Fog Monster (28., 83.) Booked: Gaius Julius Caesar ***Dangermouse The Toga Boys' break from bad karma was a very brief one - they had decent chances of taking at least one point here, but the ball thought differently aind the second half was a nightmare for the Forum.

Car Park Rangers - Desassossego Blues 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Anthony J. Crowley (16.), Barao de Teive (90.) DM: A tense and heartbreaking match at home for Carpark rangers. After their opponents scored early they spent the remainder of the match trying for an equaliser which never came. The blues finally put them out of their misery in the last minute of the match with a 2nd goal to confirm their superiority.

Gangsters United - Dial Square FC 3 : 5 Scorers: Dr. Evil (37., 49.), B-gjengen (89.) ***Ljunberg (8., 42., 50.), Pires (33.), Vieira (74.) Booked: --- ***Fabregas This weekend was definitely not Gangsters' round - although they were marginally the stronger team, Woolwich Arsenal managed to bag two more than them and the gap between these teams closes in some.

Berkeley Conference Match day 11 ======

Odd Athletics - Sleep Wanderers 2 : 4 Scorers: Odd Falkum (33., 55.) ***Rom rio (43., 81.), Cluracan (65.), Echo (34.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Albert Costa, Cain I'd say! The home team was stronger, but not much - so newly purchased Romario introducing sleep samba was so confusing that they couldn't help but lose.

Fluffy Bunny Eaters - DC Red Hot and Blues 2 : 0 Scorers: Smoochies (44.), Snuggles (37.) ***--- DM: Rosuing support from Children of all ages at Strawberry Killing fields seemed to be the deciding factor in this one. A good win at home against the Riblets which helps keep FLuffy Bunny eaters out of the relegation zone.

Batt in Blax - Pocket Valley Philosophers 12 : 0 Scorers: (2., 4., 46., 71., 82.), Hamish Marshall (25., 39., 44., 58., 61.), (55., 87.) ***--- Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Nathan Astle ***Rousseau A rather one-sided match as expected; Batt in Blax have demonstrated already that they are likely to play in Lexington next year.

Sheffield Thursday - Underdogs FC 3 : 4 Scorers: Michael Richard (21.), Mark Byzewski (16.) ***Dr. Raven Sable (48.), Trond R›nningen (69.), Gunnar Hansen (86.), Liam Svensson (34.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Dr. Raven Sable, Trond R›nningen DM: A thriller between 2 teams in the relegation zone. Sheffield Thursday charged off to an early 2 goal advantage. However after the early flurry they struggled to keep the ball out of their goal. Even a penalty couldn't stop the Underdogs as they silenced the Milwaukee Brewcrew. With 20 mins to go the match seemed poised at 3-3. However the owls defence couldn't stand the pressure and finally gave way with 4mins left. A valiant fight but all the points go to Underdogs FC.

World Ambassadors - Brazil Star Conquerors 2 : 1 Scorers: Ian Bond (14.) *** (19.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Tony Burner ***Juninho, Nilton Santos DM: This was a crucial match between 2 teams on the borderline chasing promotion. All the action early with 2 goals helping the stabbers live up to their name. The 5-Stars just couldn't seem to find a way through a rock solid defense from World Ambassadors. It took a penalty for Brazil Star Conquerors to finally get on the board but it wasn't enough. The Messengers will be celebratig a deserved win by their team.

Super Milk - Lords 1 : 20 Scorers: Milk with Tea (7.) ***Tisik Reten (2., 22., 28., 58., 75.), Pizdo Lizec (63., 67., 79., 84.), Nes Eri (12., 20., 61.), Bejzi Ukurz (14., 41., 47.), Neb Luzi (33., 57.), Nen Ires (10., 37.), Nimam Pojma (85.) Penalties: - (2 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Bejzi Ukurz, Nebo Dimona, Nimam Pojma Ne ni res! It was definitely a dobre vece for Lords, with a full 20 goals - perhaps not rough play points well spent though :-)

Berkeley Conference Match day 12 ======

Odd Athletics - Underdogs FC 2 : 1 Scorers: Odd Iversen (68.), Odd Falkum (63.) ***Trond R›nningen (70.) The match was watchworthy throughout, but both teams managed to keep a clean sheet until well into the second half. Then the Weirdoes managed to score twice, and the Underdogs never managed to come back from that.

Fluffy Bunny Eaters - Batt in Blax 1 : 4 Scorers: Fluffles (53.) ***Hamish Marshall (46., 60.), Nathan Astle (64.), (84.) The Fluffy Bunny Eaters have had good form lately, but the Black Caps were too strong, as everyone but the children of all ages (including adults) expected.

Lords - Brazil Star Conquerors 4 : 1 Scorers: Tisik Reten (47., 60.), Nes Eri (8.), Neb Luzi (90.) ***Nilton Santos (13.) Sent off: --- *** (39.) Lords have won all their home games so far, and weren't about to stop now - with or without Dunga's red card, there was never much doubt where the points would go.

Pocket Valley Philosophers - World Ambassadors 3 : 6 Scorers: Thales (76., 87.), Rousseau (64.) ***John Milardovic (4., 12.), Christian Wyatt (16., 53.), Ian Bond (19., 41.) Booked: --- ***James Edgar DM: Easier opposition in this match for World Ambassadors. Even away from home the result never seemed in doubt. The stabbers extended the lead out to 6- 0 by early in the second half. However with such a big lead they seemed to relax a little. PVP proceeded to use this to their advantage. They stole 3 goals of their own to give the fans at Pocket Valley Bowl something to cheer about. Of course they wre merely consolation goals but show that the Drunken Thinkers still have some fight in them.

DC Red Hot and Blues - Super Milk 6 : 1 Scorers: Michael Kelly (5., 34., 74.), Jorge Pasqualle (86.), Eric Birch (11.), Darnell Anthony (47.) ***Milk with Tea (4.) Booked: --- ***Milk Man The Riblets stay well clear of the relegation battle with this solid win at Army and Navy Park.

Sleep Wanderers - Sheffield Thursday 10 : 0 Scorers: Cluracan (27., 34., 56., 75., 87.), Fiddlers Green (61., 67.), Roderick Burgess (68.), Albert Costa (78.), Rom rio (68.) ***--- Do I dare? Asked manager Janecek. And in the end he didn't, and the Night Terrors rolled over his Owls with two digits worth of goals.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 11 ======

Greensleeves United - Republican Party 4 : 0 Scorers: Glob (21., 52.), Simon Drake (72.) ***--- Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Bill O'Riley, John Ashcroft, Karl Rove The Greensleeves have really improved lately, and we expect them to climb steadily up the table - although the Bushies did offer resistance, there was a significant level difference in this match.

Ajax - Rosedale Quest 6 : 1 Scorers: van Mul (8., 45., 58.), Trabelsi (19.), Maxwell (64.), Sonck (35.) *** Yellow Goal Elemental (40.) Booked: Galasek ***--- The angstgegner fell prey to spirited Champs, much to the joy of AbN.

Twin Peaks Owls - March of the Black Queen 1 : 3 Scorers: Laura Palmer (64.) *** (2., 39.), (73.) Booked: Killer Bob, Laura Palmer, One-Armed Man, Will Hayward ***Giancarlo Antognoni the Bookhouse Boys received the somewhat stronger Black Knights at Road House tonight, and the crowd support from the Packards was almost enough to make the odds equal. However, they really struggled with converting their chances, and thus allowed MOTBQ to cash in their second away victory.

Flaaklypa FK - Dummys 2 : 0 Scorers: Ben Reddik Fy Fasan (38.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Sent off: Mysil Bergsprekken (44.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Infrared Banana, Leftovers, Zwiebel Flaaklypa FK had decided to take their chances against table toppers Dummys, and it paid off! With the support of Kameratane, they pushed the Geeky Dummys back and scored twice in the first half, but then got Mysil Bergsprekken sent off. Throughout an axious second half, they managed to keep their sheet clean, and their chances of promotion increased considerably. Dummys remain top of the table even after losing, though. the Trumpet Bums - Real Johto 2 : 2 Scorers: Barry Browngas (36.), Wesley Whopper (83.) ***Treecko (44., 89.) Booked: William Wettone ***--- The Stinker karma holds steady, and the stronger visitors at Trumpet Park will have to make do with one point - a point they only salvaged by Treecko's goal in the 89th minute!

Erkrath Gladiators - Andeby FK 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- (1 missed) Booked: --- ***Klaus Knegg, Mikke Mus, Petter Smart, Svarte Petter Erkrath Gladiators were undefeated at home before this, and keeps their record with a solid performance against the Ducks. They needed a penalty to score, but did have enough chances from normal play that they should've decided the match without one.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 12 ======

Greensleeves United - Dummys 8 : 1 Scorers: Tetsujin (16., 82.), David Collins (51., 77.), Simon Drake (29., 45.), Mazikeen (58.) ***Mouldy Remnants (82.) Penalties: 1 ***- Sent off: --- ***The Door Shut Properly (35.) Booked: Simon Drake ***--- Apparently both teams thought the match was to take part at Quartagon, but after both teams being flown out to Windsor Great Park, we get one of the bigger league bombs of the round. The Geeky Dummys were completely chanceless against rock solid Greensleeves, and with The Door Shut Properly sent off a normal defeat was turned into a really impressive (or humiliating, depending on angle) scoreline.

Ajax - Twin Peaks Owls 6 : 1 Scorers: Trabelsi (18., 23.), Sonck (8., 67.), van Mul (77.), Galasek (29.) *** Garland Briggs (77.) Booked: --- ***Jacques Renault Ajax pulls a good speed bound for promotion, and simply brushes the Bookhouse Boys aside - play against one goal, barring a few counter attacks towards the end.

Andeby FK - Real Johto 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Adam Young (76.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Sent off: Klaus Knegg (58.) ***--- Booked: Doffen Duck, Nabo Jensen ***Charmander, Ozzy 'Puppet' Mandrill Ouch! A rather uneventful match until Klaus Knegg was sent off, then Real Johto got some play, and scored a deserved goal. Andeby FK pressed hard for an equalizer with 10 men, but couldn't convert chances nor even a penalty, and both points go to the Pocket Monsters.

March of the Black Queen - the Trumpet Bums 4 : 0 Scorers: (27., 52.), Giancarlo Antognoni (75.) ***--- Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: , ***Peter Pong The Black Knights are undefeated at , and keeps that going tonight with a convincing performance against the Trumpet Bums.

Rosedale Quest - Erkrath Gladiators 1 : 0 Scorers: Crossbar Centaur (74.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Gustav Schnabel The Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus gets revenge for the mirror match earlier in the season, and is perhaps a little less enraged at this point.

Republican Party - Flaaklypa FK 2 : 4 Scorers: Rush Limbaugh (2., 35.) ***Reodor Felgen (27., 41.), Solan Gundersen (9.) Penalties: - ***1 (1 missed) Booked: Colin Powell, Number Four ***Myrullbraaten The Bushies takes the lead early by the one that doesn't care about the middle class, but Flaaklypa's superior stamina means no points remain at the Oval Office. This is looking grim for the Republican Party, with a sudden large gap up to safety!

14. GM's ramble

This time Darius Molloy helped out with match comments – his comments are denoted by DM. Thanks!

For the first time in the Rosedale Open history, 48 teams out of 48 submitted! We haven't had a full set of submissions since back when there was only one division – good work!

Lower Tadfield Apocalypse still tops Rosedale Open, with 21 points. Sale Savoyards and Camarilla Divided follow closest, still five points behind. Blitzball Team (9 points), Jedi Order (8 points) and Stranraer Reserves (1 point) make up the relegation zone. The luckiest team of Rosedale Open is now Jedi Order, while the unluckiest team is now Call of Cthulhu. All the clubs submitted.

The top three of Lexington League are still in the same order, with Mishima Zaibatsu at 23 points, Dangermouse at 20 points and Monkey Business at 19 points. Trailing are Car Park Rangers with 7 points, Marvel Comics with 4 points and Coventry with 2 points. Mishima Zaibatsu started a little karma payback, but is still luckiest, and First Men of Rome are still unluckiest. All the Lexington League teams submitted, for the sixth time in a row.

Berkeley Conference has Lords and Batt in Blax at the top, with 22 and 21 points respectively. World Ambassadors and Sleep Wanderers follow closest, with 18 points. The relegation struggle includes five teams: Fluffy Bunny Eaters with 7 points, Underdogs FC and Pocket Valley Philosophers with 6 points apiece, Super Milk with 4 points and Sheffield Thursday with 2 points. The luckiest team of Berkeley Conference is Fluffy Bunny Eaters, and Underdogs FC are still unluckiest. All the clubs submitted.

Kirkwood Showdown has evened out a lot, and now see Ajax, Rosedale Quest and Dummys tying for top with 17 points each. Flaaklypa FK is only one point behind. Republican Party is still on the relegation spot with 3 points, but with a great weekend from Greensleeves, there's now 3 points up to 11th place safety, which is currently held by Twin Peaks Owls at 6 points. The luckiest team in Kirkwood is Erkrath Gladiators, and the unluckiest is still by far Greensleeves United. All the clubs submitted.

The worst karma of all still belongs to First Men of Rome, and the best karma of all still belongs to Mishima Zaibatsu.

The home advantage has increased to 8 VP. In the next issue, matches 13 and 14 will be played, as will the quarter finals of the Rosedale Knockout.

The deadline for issue 8 is Friday, November 12, at 2130 CET.

I will send out your teams soon.
