4. League results Rosedale Open Match day 5 ======

The 5 Percent Community - Really New Bremen Cyberdruids 3 : 0 Scorers: Arne Sandsto (9., 59.), Christer George (88.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Maurice P. Schmidt Both teams are struggling, and this made the match a fourpointer in an attempt to avoid relegation. As it stands, though, the Cyberdruids rested Malek and Gregory, and got a deserved spanking by the Greedy Retards.

Monkey Business - Mishima Zaibatsu 1 : 2 Scorers: The SCUMM bar chef (31.) ***Anna Williams (33., 60.) Booked: Wally ***--- The Pirates Wannabe's invincibility ended tonight against those who heed the call, who were marginally stronger and significantly more effective, and got a somewhat lucky away win here.

Dangermouse - Camarilla Divided 0 : 5 Scorers: --- ***Nina the Unknown (10., 45., 72.), Malcolm Middle (53.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Professor Skwarkenklux ***--- Generation X was clearly the strongest team in the Mouse Dome, but the Mouseketeers had enough chances for a couple of goals themselves...

Call of Cthulhu - Grunts United 1 : 1 Scorers: Yig (69.) ***Trolluc Troeffel (12.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Larry Long The Greenskins have apparently found back to the good ol' Gruntball, but despite a missed penalty, the Lurking Fear pulls off a lucky draw after a lucky goal in the second half.

Sale Savoyards - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 3 : 7 Scorers: Sam (35., 45.), Hilarian (18.) ***Chalky (24., 34., 48., 49., 86.), Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (74.), The man (32.) A very entertaining match at the Savoy tonight, with the away team scoring more goals and taking a deserved win.

Saturday Morning FC - the Ancients 3 : 1 Scorers: The Brain (25., 71.), Rick Hunter (6.) ***Opisthocoelicaudia (38.) Booked: George of the Jungle, Squirtle ***--- The 2Ds picked a good strategy to overrun the Oldtimers, and their win was never really threatened. That makes the first points for them at ACME Park this season!

Rosedale Open Match day 6 ======

Mishima Zaibatsu - Call of Cthulhu 4 : 0 Scorers: Anna Williams (25., 29.), Jin Kazama (5.), Squirtle (59.) ***--- Sent off: --- ***Yig (73.) Booked: --- ***Glaaki The Lurking Fear ran out of karma, and suffered a scoreline that flattered Mishima Zaibatsu. It won't hurt their chances on the karma crown much, though, as they had small chances for claiming points.

Grunts United - The 5 Percent Community 3 : 1 Scorers: Tenzy Tenz (19., 39.), Zala Zalmer (50.) ***Christer George (66.) Booked: Lenny Lesser ***Bent Skammelsrud, Jorn Jamtfall, Lars Blixt, Thor Hermansen A relegation zone fight, showing that one of these teams really didn't belong in it. A clue: This team's players are not buying overpriced pyramid stock.

Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - Saturday Morning FC 11 : 1 Scorers: Chalky (33., 56., 63., 70., 77.), Wensleydale (4., 7., 24.), The delivery man (46., 75.), Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (89.) ***Squirtle (13.) The Apocalypse are steaming ahead very strongly this season, and managed the feat of a two-digit win against the 2Ds!

Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Dangermouse 3 : 1 Scorers: Maurice P. Schmidt (69.) ***Baron Silas Greenback II (55.) Penalties: 2 ***- Booked: --- ***Stiletto The Mouseketeers came to Rosewood Cemetary with good hopes about points, and did have most of the play. However, the referee liked the Cyberdruids much better, and decided the match by giving them two penalties.

Camarilla Divided - Sale Savoyards 4 : 0 Scorers: Raymond "Knowhow" Ash (30.), Eliza 'Eeehh' Rodham-Cox (44.), Jerry 'Informed' Time (61.), Carla 'Narrow-minded' Walston (90.) ***--- Sale Savoyards apparently didn't have much hope for this match, and they were probably right... Generation X holds second place, chasing one point behind the Apocalypse. the Ancients - Monkey Business 1 : 6 Scorers: Euoplocephalus (20.) ***Minnie Goudsoup (24., 33., 41.), The SCUMM bar chef (47.), Wally (11.), Elaine Marley (89.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Carla, The SCUMM bar chef Monkey Business came back to form against weaker opposition, and easily disposed of the Oldtimers.

Lexington League Match day 5 ======

Jedi Order - World Ambassadors 1 : 7 Scorers: Mace Windu (57.) ***Dog (63., 74.), John Milardovic (32., 45.), Ian Bond (34.), Christian Wyatt (55.), Russ Bynum (11.) Booked: --- ***Carmine Zuigiber Both teams were chasing right behind the promotion zone before this match, but it was such a one-sided affair that one expects a larger gap between them for the time to come. Very solid performance from the Stabbers!

Dial Square FC - Gangsters United 4 : 4 Scorers: Vieira (1., 71., 75.), Ljunberg (19.) ***Svarte Petter (14., 32.), Little Carmine (36.), Tony Blundetto (76.) Booked: --- ***Dr. Evil, Svarte Petter A top match at Plumstead Common, with Gangsters United showing that they're a force to be reckoned with, but with Woolwich Arsenal lucky enough to score four times and get a point from the match.

Les Gaulois - Lords 5 : 3 Scorers: Abraracourcix (7., 58.), Obelix (72.), Assurancetourix (41.) ***Neb Luzi (76.), Nes Eri (41.) Penalties: 1 ***1 Booked: Assurancetourix, Ordralfabetix, Orthopedix ***Nebo Dimona, Nimam Pojma, Pejt Vrit A relegation zone battle, where both teams realized this battle was very vital. As it stood, on a neutral field we'd be fairly certain of a draw, but Les Gaulois used their home advantage well, and got their first two points deservedly.

Sleep Wanderers - Desassossego Blues 2 : 1 Scorers: Andrew Card (45., 68.) ***Alberto Caeiro (82.) Booked: --- ***Thomas Crosse The first half was very uneventful, but when everyone got going in the second half, it was Sleep Wanderers who had most of the play, and deservedly edged out the Blues for their first points this season!

Batt in Blax - the Blitzball Team 3 : 1 Scorers: Locke (40., 64.), Hamish Marshall (55.) ***Naomi (39.) Batt in Blax have a full score so far this season, and wasn't overly troubled by the Blitzballers.

First Men of Rome - Dead Dino Storage 9 : 2 Scorers: Gaius Julius Caesar (14., 70., 79.), Caligula (49., 51.), Titus Flavius Vespasianus (41.), Spartacus (90.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (74.), Marcus Tullius Cicero (72.) ***Popol Ace (46., 69.) Booked: Gaius Julius Caesar, Marcus Livius Drusus ***Dream, Hole in the Wall, Spock's Beard The Toga Boys have serious promotion ambitions this year, and can back it up - splattering Dead Dino Storage like this is very impressing indeed.

Lexington League Match day 6 ======

Gangsters United - Sleep Wanderers 7 : 2 Scorers: Svarte Petter (29., 46., 54., 87.), Dr. Evil (78.), The Joker (16.), Tony Blundetto (5.) ***Thessaly (14., 69.) Penalties: - (2 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Andrew Card, Thessaly Top against bottom and no surprises, the scoreline depicts the state of the match quite well.

Desassossego Blues - Jedi Order 8 : 1 Scorers: Thomas Crosse (19., 22., 39.), Vicente Guedes (26., 75., 88.), Fernando Pessoa (2.), Alberto Caeiro (68.) ***Aayla Secura (46.) The Blues get their strategy right, and crushes the Lightside using a whole lot of Force. the Blitzball Team - First Men of Rome 1 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Caligula (5.), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (60.) Penalties: 1 (2 missed) ***- Sent off: --- ***Tiberius Gracchus (78.) The Blitzballers really need to start practicing penalties, after having given away a point each on two penalties. Of course, Toga Boys wouldn't complain...

World Ambassadors - Les Gaulois 4 : 2 Scorers: John Milardovic (85., 89.), Dog (54.) ***Ordralfabetix (40.), Assurancetourix (13.) Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Agecanonix, Orthopedix Les Gaulois put up more of a fight than expected at the World Hotel, but the home advantage was well spent, and the strength difference between the teams too large, even with a good strategy pick from the Frenchies.

Lords - Batt in Blax 0 : 18 Scorers: --- ***Hamish Marshall (6 goal$s), Michael Papps (6., 10., 33., 63., 74.), Locke (16., 74., 81.), (17.), Martin Crowe (70.), (46.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***1 Sent off: Neb Luzi (25.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Locke, Nathan Astle LOL... if it weren't enough that the Lords got crushed completely by runaway Batt in Blax, they also got themselves a red card and thus a suspension for the next round. Rosedale Open next season, Black Caps?

Dead Dino Storage - Dial Square FC 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Pires (22.) Booked: --- ***Bergkamp A very even match at the Dark Side of the Moon, but Woolwich Arsenal was somewhat stronger and somewhat luckier, and scored the match's only goal.

Berkeley Conference Match day 5 ======

Odd Athletics - DC Red Hot and Blues 6 : 1 Scorers: Odd Harald Rex (55., 87.), Odd Iversen (36.), Odd Golf Truck (24.), Odd O. Occean (6.) ***Jorge Pasqualle (20.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Eric Birch, Pablo D'Angelo There was really only one team present on the field - the Weirdoes cleaned the floor of Strangeworld with Riblets.

Flaaklypa FK - Coventry 7 : 0 Scorers: Reodor Felgen (51., 63., 73.), Solan Gundersen (7., 44.), Emanuel Desperados (77.), Frimand Ploesen (12.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Hubert Huey, Ian Molby, Onix Kudos to Coventry for trying, but Flaaklypa will be incredibly hard to handle at Krokryggen this season.

Brazil Star Conquerors - Car Park Rangers 5 : 3 Scorers: Gerson (3., 31., 39.), Roberto Carlos (61.) ***Number Four (19., 81.), Scott Summers (10.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Falcao ***Bobby Drake A fairly well-played match at ER's Arena, but with the home team noticeably stronger and converting this to a two-goal win.

Marvel Comics - Pocket Valley Philosophers 10 : 1 Scorers: Gambit (15., 42., 55., 60.), Eddy Gordo (1., 29., 66., 85.), Nocturn (21.), Juggernaut (8.) ***Rousseau (59.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Confucius Marvel Comics fed Trion three points, but it didn't matter - they were in solid control of where the points from this match went.

Fluffy Bunny Eaters - Rosedale Quest 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Crossbar Centaur (28.), Purple Goal Elemental (14.), Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (79.) Table toppers Rosedale Quest visit the Strawberry Killing Fields, dominates the match, and takes both points home.

Ajax - Sheffield Thursday 4 : 1 Scorers: Mitea (10., 50., 86.), Sonck (41.) ***Michael Richard (76.) Booked: van Mul ***--- Ajax picks a strategy better suited to Sheffield than the other way around, and is rewarded with a fairly good hold on the match, both points, and a flattering scoreline. Berkeley Conference Match day 6 ======

Coventry - Marvel Comics 3 : 10 Scorers: Onix (14., 85.), Mikey Michaels (61.) ***Juggernaut (10., 48., 51., 62.), Eddy Gordo (19., 35.), Cyclops (83.), Iceman (64.), Gambit (65.), Wolverine (15.) Coventry entertain their home crowd with 3 goals this time, whereas the Mutants decidedly couldn't be worse, and netted a full 10.

Pocket Valley Philosophers - Odd Athletics 8 : 23 Scorers: Rousseau (31., 37., 57., 70.), Machiavelli (2.), Thales (15.), Leonardo (64.), Craig McMillan (48.) ***Odd Harald Rex (9 goal$s), Odd Nordstoga (6 goal$s), Odd Falkum (11., 15., 66., 84.), Jigglypuff (1., 7., 30.), Odd Iversen (62.) Booked: Sun Tzu, Thales ***Odd Egil Olsen Wooohoooo! This is the best football match since Oddvar Braa broke his staff. 31 goals!

Rosedale Quest - Ajax 2 : 1 Scorers: Yellow Goal Elemental (77.) ***Mitea (13.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Maxwell, van Mul An even top match at the Magical Woods of Dooooom, but with the Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus getting a penalty they converted, for a one goal win.

DC Red Hot and Blues - Brazil Star Conquerors 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Gerson (52., 75.), Roberto Carlos (14.) Booked: ***Gerson Roberto Carlos opened the match with a beautiful banana shot in the far corner, and the Riblets never recovered from the shock. That's the third time in a row they lose at Abercrombie and Fitch Stadium - murmuring is heard around the club wanting to move back to Army and Navy Park.

Car Park Rangers - Fluffy Bunny Eaters 3 : 2 Scorers: Logan (72.), Number Four (46.), Bob the Tremere (78.) ***Snuggles (11., 90.) A fairly close score at Wherever Evildoers Roam, but the home win for the Powers was quite deserved.

Sheffield Thursday - Flaaklypa FK 1 : 1 Scorers: Michael Richard (1.) ***Rudolf Blodstrupmoen (64.) Booked: --- ***Frimand Ploesen, Hallstein Bronskimlet, Olram Slaapen Flaaklypa FK keeps up their tradition with winning at home and drawing away, this time Sheffield Thursday can consider themselves quite lucky to have gotten away with a point.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 5 ======

Erkrath Gladiators - Real Johto 1 : 0 Scorers: Dietmar Augustin (20.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Crabby, Lickitung, Pikachu A very important match at Kampfbahn an der Gink tonight, between two teams with 6 points each. It turned out to be a very even affair, but Real Johto were terribly inefficient, and have to wander home without points.

Twin Peaks Owls - Dummys 3 : 2 Scorers: Laura Palmer (48.), Dale Cooper (20.) ***Stains (1., 57.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Zwiebel !! Dummys feed Trion 9 points, and suffers unexpected defeat at the new stadium of One-Eyed Jacks. Did someone poke Mr Gorjan in the eye?

Camlutman City - Andeby FK 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Guffen (21.), Petter Smart (79.) Camlutman City obviously did perform better with managerial guidance, but without fighting spirit, the visiting Ducklings were simply too strong for them.

March of the Black Queen - Wizards of Oz 3 : 3 Scorers: Marco Tardelli (15., 69.), Claudio Gentile (23.) ***Gandalf (14., 60., 77.) Booked: Claudio Gentile ***--- Wizards of Oz had only listed 10 players on their teamsheet, but Merlin stormed onto the field to help out. The match itself was a very one-sided affair, with March of the Black Queen dominating completely, but our theory here at Rosedale Sun is that Dino Zoff has been the victim of an identity theft, and was replaced by Grease-Gloved Billy for this match.

Monster Time - Disney Classics 1 : 0 Scorers: Franky (63.) ***--- Amazing! Even without fighting spirit, Monster Time manages to overcome yet another opponent, and are at this moment tying for top in Kirkwood Showdown in their very first season... without a single purchase! Way to go, Ray.

Greensleeves United - New Underdogs FC 1 : 0 Scorers: Kenny Dixon (65.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Ben Wright Both teams defended themselves well, but the stronger experience of Greensleeves came into play, giving them the only goal of the match and both points.

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 6 ======

Dummys - March of the Black Queen 1 : 2 Scorers: Infrared Banana (16.) ***Claudio Gentile (55.), Gaetano Scirea (88.) March of the Black Queen are running out of bad luck, and deservedly beat table-toppers Dummys into submission.

Wizards of Oz - Erkrath Gladiators 6 : 2 Scorers: Gandalf (16., 30., 31., 45.), Fizban (2., 79.) ***Edi 'Woodpecker' Abel (9.), Dietmar Augustin (10.) Booked: Rincewind ***--- Pug stormed onto the field to make up 11 players for the home team, and did so quite well, it appears! The Lunatics were the stronger team and deserved to win, but Wizards of Oz were close enough to have a chance - and they grabbed that chance with passion!

Disney Classics - Greensleeves United 0 : 4 Scorers: --- ***Chris Coppin (46., 81.), Tetsujin (22.), David Collins (55.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Chris Coppin There was little Disney could do about the Greensleeves, and Henry's Hideout has started chanting and dreaming about promotion already.

Real Johto - Camlutman City 4 : 2 Scorers: Mareep (73.), Pikachu (83.), King (49.) ***Kingsley Black (16.), Jason Rees (76.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Jason Rees Impressive fighting by the Drows with their new manager, but away against the Pocket Monsters isn't exactly an easy match by Kirkwood standards!

Andeby FK - Monster Time 1 : 2 Scorers: Guffen (10.) ***Franky (59.), The Hand (6.) Booked: --- ***IT! !!! Andeby was clearly the stronger team at Andeby Stadium, but with a little skill and a little luck, Monster Time storm ahead with YET another victory!

New Underdogs FC - Twin Peaks Owls 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Thomas Eckhardt (87.), Nadine Hurley (27.) Twin Peaks Owls get their strategy 100% perfect to New Underdogs' strategy, and is rewarded with both points at the Kennel.

13.Rosedale Knockout second round results

Greensleeves United - Really New Bremen Cyberdruids 2 : 1 Scorers: Nick Breckham (47.), Chris Coppin (78.) ***Xen Xiaoping (76.) Whoa! No need for fighting spirit, both teams said, and made for a very even affair. Greensleeves were luckier, and now have a RO scalp for their belts!

Saturday Morning FC - Underdogs FC 10 : 0 Scorers: Fat Albert (22., 48., 74., 83.), George of the Jungle (5., 41.), Pinky (60., 80.), Rick Hunter (54.), The Brain (87.) ***--- SMFC take no chances, and crushes the Underdogs efficiently.

Car Park Rangers - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 0 : 8 Scorers: --- ***Chalky (4., 16., 24., 37.), Mr Rajit (12., 90.), Agnes Nutter (6., 82.) Rosedale Open opposition a bit much for the Powers - better luck next year.

Grunts United - the Ancients 5 : 4 a.p. (1 : 1 ot., 1 : 1) Scorers: Cantrip (9.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Tenzy Tenz ***--- !! The Greenskins are incredibly inefficient through the match that they should have won easily, but wins out in a penalty shooting contest in the end. Good that; a cup isn't a real cup without Grunts United in at least the semifinals :)

Dangermouse - Dead Dino Storage 6 : 3 Scorers: The Fog Monster (61., 75.), Professor Skwarkenklux (2.), Baron Silas Greenback II (33.), Leatherhead (51.) ***Transatlantic (12., 73.), Popol Ace (25.) Penalties: 1 ***- Sent off: Mad Manuel (42.) ***--- Booked: --- ***The Tangent The match was even and exciting through most of the first half, but when Mad Manuel was sent off towards the end of it, the beasts within the Mouseketeers awoke, and DDS was outrun through the second half.

World Ambassadors - The 5 Percent Community 16 : 0 Scorers: Dog (8 goal$s), John Milardovic (29., 65., 69., 79.), Ian Bond (19., 80.), Russ Bynum (6., 60.) ***--- Booked: Carmine Zuigiber, Haavard Pettersen ***--- If you told spectators of this match that it is the Greedy Retards that play a division over the Stabbers, nobody would believe you.

Sleep Wanderers - Mishima Zaibatsu 1 : 3 Scorers: Cluracan (11.) ***Asuka Kazama (26., 66.), Jin Kazama (6.) Sleep Wanderers probably came closer than they thought they would, but all in all, the scoreline depicts the match pretty well, and there was little chance for an upset here.

Camarilla Divided - Les Gaulois 4 : 2 Scorers: Nina the Unknown (1., 50., 72.), Eliza 'Eeehh' Rodham-Cox (22.) *** Abraracourcix (43.), Cetautomatix (14.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Sent off: --- ***Cetautomatix (9.) Booked: --- ***Agecanonix, Avoranfix, Obelix Les Gaulois get a player sent off very early, but still manages to put up a fight and are even at half time. However, training hours are longer in Rosedal e Open, and they lost on the stamina in the second half.

Wizards of Oz - First Men of Rome 1 : 4 Scorers: --- ***Spartacus (46., 64.), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (12.), Marcus Livius Drusus (52.) Penalties: 1 ***- (2 missed) Sent off: Raistlin (83.) ***--- Booked: Gandalf, Rincewind, Thomas Covenant ***Caligula, Marcus Livius Drusus, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Tiberius Gracchus Oooo, referee REALLY felt the need to leave his mark on this match, with cards and penalties blowing in all directions from the refpicenter. The gameplay? There was no resistance worth mentioning provided by the Magi - Toga Boys advance comfortably to the next round.

Dummys - Real Johto 1 : 0 Scorers: Red Pepper (19.) ***--- Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Red Pepper ***--- Okay, so whereas Mouldy Remnants are a kind of Leftovers, they are different players here - so you can't field two Leftovers, Jaka! The match was pretty even with a slight advantage to Real Johto, but Dummys had the necessary karma available, and spent it well.

Super Milk - Pocket Valley Philosophers 1 : 7 Scorers: --- ***Leonardo (1., 45., 70.), Confucius (14., 72.), Yog-Sothoth (39.), Hume (67.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Craig McMillan, Rousseau, Sun Tzu Pocket Valley takes no chances either, no 1-0 over the conferencers plans around here. the Blitzball Team - Monster Time 3 : 2 ot. (2 : 2) Scorers: Ophelia (9.), Quinn (80.), Datto (91.) ***Blob (11.), Wolfman (48.) Neither of the managers remembered they were still playing in the cup, but it was an interesting match nonetheless, with Datto deciding the match with his goal in extra time.

Trumpet Bums - Dial Square FC 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Pires (34.), Fabregas (47.) Dial Square didn't have a manager for this match, but didn't need guidance to send Trumpet Bums home without goals.

Lords - Gangsters United 4 : 15 Scorers: Nen Ires (46., 82.), Tisik Reten (15.), Bejzi Ukurz (68.) ***Svarte Petter (12., 24., 27., 53., 90.), Little Carmine (5., 18., 80., 86.), Tony Blundetto (4., 61., 71.), Dr. Evil (35., 60.), Nina Myers (55.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Sent off: Tisik Reten (75.) ***--- Booked: Nes Eri ***B-gjengen No doubt which of the Lexingtoners here are best at scoring goals... Svarte Petter netted more goals alone than did the Lords combined!

Flaaklypa FK - Republican Party 2 : 1 Scorers: Reodor Felgen (2., 60.) ***--- Manager Haavard Pettersen can let out a sigh of relief, after Reodor Felgen scored twice, edging out conference team Republican Party with a lone goal.

Sale Savoyards - Rosedale Quest 3 : 2 Scorers: Chancellor (16.), Fitzbattleaxe (49.) ***Corner Flag Magi (48.), Yellow Goal Elemental (88.) Penalties: 1 ***- Sent off: --- ***Golden Goblin (46.) The Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus fought hard, and had the best chance to advance, but the Singers had a better karma account and converted their penalty, advancing to the third round.
