Jaap Smolders, Ajax: «Well promotion is getting hard but we will try»

Jørgen Bjørnelv, Andeby FK: «Todays song: How long, how looong will I slide? Answer on last song: E-type - Africa»

Sean Cable, DC Red Hot and Blues: «o, Really! This week it is! We need at least one win!»

Håvard Pettersen, Flaaklypa FK: «Still looking for more players, mail me if interested in trades, sale or bying. Got many strong (skill 10) players at age II, need younger, but even more important: Need coachable players ;-)»

Jørgen B. Vehusheia, Jedi Order: *breaks down crying*

Håvard Pettersen, Odd Athletics: «1H - p - 2NT - p 4C - p - 4NT - p 5S - p - 5NT - p 6D - p - 7H - p»

Jørgen Bjørnelv, Really New Bremen Cyberdruids: «;):(:):P»

Dribbling Dragon, Rosedale Quest: «Do not take the ball from a dragon, for thou art crunchy, and taste like chicken.»

Knut Eivind Brennhaug, The 5 Percent Community (thanks to user Spredo at VGD for this one): «Appearently a lot of our members didn't understand our instructions, even how clearly we wrote them:

YOU CANNOT SELL STOCKS AT A PRICE BELOW OUR FIXED PRICE.

We have seized all these members' stocks, however, all of you are welcome to rejoin us, but then you'll have to start at the bottom of the chain.

For the rest of the members, we make another split, so that you double your fortune. Hallelujah!

To the sceptics out there, this is not a pyramid, although it might look like one. Thanks to solid management from the top, we avoid the traps that the pyramid companies fall into. There is absolutely no risk that we will suffer the same destiny as WGI. This is not something I just say to make money, since I sold all my stocks some time ago, I can prove that this is a great company. I just receive a commission of 2 % on every sale, so my statements are 100 % neutral and unbiased.

Join us while there still are stocks left.»

Knut Eivind Brennhaug, Twin Peaks Owls: « Jerry Horne: Sweetheart, I'd like to order two drinks. One double scotch on the rocks, and my brother would like a double scotch on the rocks. Female bartender at One-Eyed Jack's: That's two double scotch on the rocks. Jerry Horne: Next step: rocket science!»

Rosedale Open Match day 17 ======

The 5 Percent Community - Grunts United 0 : 0 Booked: Potetmosen ***--- The Greedy Retards had the Greenskin strategy figured out, but failed to convert their play advantage into goals, and had to settle for a disappointing goalless draw.

Monkey Business - the Ancients 5 : 2 Scorers: The SCUMM bar chef (7., 13., 43.), Carla (29.), The Voodoo Priest (66.) ***Euoplocephalus (63.), Opisthocoelicaudia (38.) Top against bottom - two easy points for Monkey Business, whose win should in all fairness have been larger.

Dangermouse - Really New Bremen Cyberdruids 2 : 0 Scorers: Mad Manuel (73.), The Fog Monster (7.) ***--- Unspirited Cyberdruids came to the Mouse Dome without hope for points, and the prophecy proved self-fulfilling.

Call of Cthulhu - Mishima Zaibatsu 0 : 7 Scorers: --- ***Kazuya Mishima (3., 32., 74.), Anna Williams (56.), Asuka Kazama (14.), Squirtle (61.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Will Hayward ***--- The match at Arkham Asylum was fairly even, with the away team being slightly stronger - which they somehow converted to a 7-0 win.

Sale Savoyards - Camarilla Divided 1 : 3 Scorers: Fitzbattleaxe (9.) ***Raymond "Knowhow" Ash (86.), Eliza 'Eeehh' Rodham-Cox (23.), Nina the Unknown (89.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Max von Prophet The Singers actually had some chances at the Savoy, with an early lead and some play, but Generation X grinded them down with a few bloodpoints well spent on stamina.

Saturday Morning FC - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 4 : 6 Scorers: George of the Jungle (32., 84.), Pinky (88.), Fat Albert (57.) *** Chalky (56., 89.), The man (77.), Pepper (37.), Wensleydale (63.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Baby Bear, Fat Albert, Squirtle ***--- The home team dominated at ACME Park, but the Apocalypse completely undeservedly bags six goals, and walk away with two very lucky points.

Rosedale Open Match day 18 ======

Mishima Zaibatsu - Saturday Morning FC 0 : 4 Scorers: --- ***Squirtle (40., 72., 76.), Quickdraw McGraw (41.) Booked: --- ***George of the Jungle, Quickdraw McGraw A match both teams really needed to win to keep up in the medal race. As it turned out, the home team had a large majority of the chances, but proved mystically unable to score, and SMFC get two points for free to trade in for the two that were stolen from them last round. Monkey Business - Sale Savoyards 1 : 1 Scorers: Minnie Goudsoup (80.) ***Constance (85.) The Singers manage to play almost even with the Pirates Wannabe, and claim a very important point in their fight for survival at the top level.

Dangermouse - Call of Cthulhu 2 : 3 Scorers: Baron Silas Greenback II (85.) ***Will Hayward (41., 74.), Daoloth (5.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Mi-Go, Yig More bad luck for the Mouseketeers, as the weaker Lurking Fear fight their way to being only somewhat weaker, and then seeing them bag three goals for a lucky away win!

Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Grunts United 1 : 4 Scorers: Chris Standbracker (49.) ***Lenny Lesser (21., 53.), Cantrip (82.), Terroc Rocktar (12.) They Cyberdruids needed fighting spirit to have their chances at Rosewood Cemetary, but had none, and have to settle for no points this weekend.

Camarilla Divided - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 5 : 1 Scorers: Eliza 'Eeehh' Rodham-Cox (10., 59.), Sebastien 'Decisive' Gibraltar (25., 88.), Nina the Unknown (4.) ***--- Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Eliza 'Eeehh' Rodham-Cox ***Mr Rajit Generation X cuts Apocalypse's lead in half with this convincing and deserved win in the Mansion Cellar. the Ancients - The 5 Percent Community 1 : 0 Scorers: Dromiceiomimus (19.) ***--- Neither team felt the points were worth fighting for, and thus the Oldtimers' home advantage decided the issue - two points for the Ancients, who keep the hope of survival alive.

Lexington League Match day 17 ======

Jedi Order - Desassossego Blues 3 : 8 Scorers: Qui-Gon Jinn (21.), Mara Jade Skywalker (23.), Aurra Sing (26.) *** Alberto Caeiro (8., 25., 68., 75., 83.), Fernando Pessoa (55.), Vicente Guedes (19.), Thomas Crosse (39.) Booked: --- ***Coelho Pacheco Desassossego Blues are on a run, and only stopped by the grind the Lightside further into the sod.

Dial Square FC - Dead Dino Storage 3 : 1 Scorers: Ljunberg (20., 67.), Vieira (71.) ***Junipher Greene (49.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Sent off: --- ***Transatlantic (1.), Popol Vuh (10.) Booked: --- ***Popol Ace, The Tangent The referee cracked down really hard on DDS' knuckle-football, and rendered them chanceless, having to play 80 minutes with 9 men.

Les Gaulois - World Ambassadors 2 : 3 Scorers: Yoshimitsu (58.), Cetautomatix (78.) ***Rudi van Hal (51.), John Milardovic (44.), Dog (73.) Booked: Ordralfabetix, Orthopedix ***Carmine Zuigiber, John Milardovic The match spawns four suspensions, as the Gauls put up a good fight against top chasers Stabbers. Still, close, but not close enough - World Ambassadors take both points, and are top of the table until Batt in Blax play their match.

Sleep Wanderers - Gangsters United 3 : 3 Scorers: Andrew Card (64., 73.), Death (38.) ***Dr. Evil (7.), Little Carmine (20.), Svarte Petter (54.) Sleep Wanderers put on their golden hair and karma robes, and snatches a point from the Mobsters. Such theft only begs the question; when will an offer be made that cannot be refused?

Batt in Blax - Lords 14 : 1 Scorers: Locke (2., 17., 26., 34.), Hamish Marshall (23., 30., 64.), Matt Horne (6., 10., 83.), Michael Papps (10., 68.), (37.), (17.) ***Nen Ires (82.) Booked: --- ***Pizdo Lizec, Rudi Rojc, Skorec M. The Black Caps have little troubles against Lords, just as expected.

First Men of Rome - the Blitzball Team 4 : 3 Scorers: Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (44.), Virgil (31.), Spartacus (7.), Marcus Livius Drusus (46.) ***Naomi (41.), Ophelia (13.), Quinn (7.) Booked: Marcus Livius Drusus, Marcus Tullius Cicero ***--- A rather even match at Collosseum, where the Toga Boys used their stronger physyics to create a little advantage that they turned into a one-goal win. Lexington League Match day 18 ======

Gangsters United - First Men of Rome 18 : 5 Scorers: Svarte Petter (10 goal$s), Little Carmine (22., 52., 77.), Nina Myers (44., 74., 84.), Dr. Evil (80., 87.) ***Caligula (27., 35., 57.), Gaius Julius Caesar (60., 84.) Booked: --- ***Spartacus This match is key to decide promotions from Lexington this year, and the Mobsters left little doubt that they will be following the Black Caps and the Stabbers up to the premiership. There's still 4 matches to go, though!

Dial Square FC - Batt in Blax 1 : 6 Scorers: Ljunberg (11.) ***Locke (25., 28., 89.), Hamish Marshall (16.), Matt Horne (76.), Michael Papps (21.) Booked: --- ***Matthew Sinclair, Stephen Fleming The Black Caps just keeps crushing all opposition, defending their table top with style.

Les Gaulois - Sleep Wanderers 3 : 3 Scorers: Abraracourcix (22., 73.), Yoshimitsu (67.) ***Despair (69.), Andrew Card (39.), Cluracan (88.) Les Gaulois had most of the play at Babaorum, but probably spent their karma making the magic potion, as the Night Terrors were able to pull off a somewhat lucky away point.

World Ambassadors - Desassossego Blues 8 : 2 Scorers: Rudi van Hal (35., 76.), John Milardovic (61., 73.), Dog (25., 56.), Russ Bynum (10., 67.) ***Pantaleao (80.), Vicente Guedes (22.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Carmine Zuigiber ***--- The Stabbers stay on course for promotion - the Blues' chances will come next year.

Lords - the Blitzball Team 0 : 0 Booked: Lihza Konc, Pejt Vrit ***--- A goalless draw at the bottom of Lexington League, where the home team was closer to scoring.

Dead Dino Storage - Jedi Order 1 : 0 Scorers: Spock's Beard (56.) ***--- After a boring first half, DDS scores the match's only goal on a rare attack early in the second half.

Berkeley Conference Match day 17 ======

Odd Athletics - Pocket Valley Philosophers 5 : 5 Scorers: Odd Nordstoga (4., 25., 82.), Odd Harald Rex (52.), Odd O. Occean (31.) ***Machiavelli (8., 62.), Thales (14., 62.), Rousseau (56.) Booked: Odd Bondevik ***Craig McMillan, Thales The Weirdoes played strangely well, but the Drunken Thinkers figured out a clever way to get a point, and thus put more room between them and the relegation zone.

Flaaklypa FK - Sheffield Thursday 4 : 1 Scorers: Roger Jurtappen (23., 34.), Reodor Felgen (67., 85.) ***Steve Telofski (86.) Undefeated Flaaklypa marches on with their eighth straight home win this season, out of eight possible.

Brazil Star Conquerors - DC Red Hot and Blues 6 : 1 Scorers: Abel (2., 46., 69.), Aldair (52., 73.), Roberto Carlos (66.) ***Jorge Pasqualle (78.) Brazil get it easy against the Riblets, and put pressure on Ajax. DC remains in the relegation zone, but distance upwards is short!

Marvel Comics - Coventry 11 : 0 Scorers: Wolverine (10., 24., 38., 48., 71.), Juggernaut (1., 35., 87.), Nocturn (50.), Eddy Gordo (29.), Beast (81.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Freddie Foot, Jacques Renault, Onix Even Marvel's cronical bad luck could do anything here - play against one goal.

Fluffy Bunny Eaters - Car Park Rangers 1 : 5 Scorers: Giggles jr. (62.) ***Number Four (25., 50.), Selina Kyle (36.), Logan (71.), Victor Hocks (32.) The Powers deservedly claim both points at the Strawberry Killing Fields, keeping themselves within tossing distance of the promotion zone. Ajax - Rosedale Quest 2 : 4 Scorers: van Mul (78., 84.) ***Crossbar Centaur (12.), Purple Goal Elemental (72.), Golden Goblin (64.), Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (26.) Ajax had half their team out with suspension, and couldn't get points at home against the Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus.

Berkeley Conference Match day 18 ======

Coventry - Ajax 2 : 4 Scorers: Destruction (72.) ***van Mul (17., 28.), Sonck (55.), Mitea (66.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Walter Mitty ***Trabelsi With a stronger team again, Ajax get both points at Highfield Road - quite unsurprisingly.

Flaaklypa FK - Fluffy Bunny Eaters 1 : 0 Scorers: Solan Gundersen (76.) ***--- Children of all ages were cheering anxiously for a good hour, when their beloved Tubbies kept the Racers at bay, but Solan Gundersen ruined their evening with his goal towards the end.

Brazil Star Conquerors - Marvel Comics 0 : 0 Booked: Abel, Branco, Falcao, Richard Ripley ***Cyclops, Eddy Gordo Marvel pays out some of their karma deposit, getting a very lucky away point in this prestiguous Ferreira derby.

DC Red Hot and Blues - Pocket Valley Philosophers 1 : 0 Scorers: Eric Birch (44.) ***--- Booked: Andreas Carc, Boris Steppans, Brad Excel, Darnell Anthony ***Rousseau This is the match, manager Cable said, and his players fought ferociously, and were awarded with both points.

Car Park Rangers - Rosedale Quest 6 : 8 Scorers: Number Four (23., 39., 45., 60.), Scott Summers (73., 90.) ***Yellow Goal Elemental (8., 10., 18., 39., 85.), Purple Goal Elemental (35.), Goalscorer Golem (50.), Unicorn of Underhanded Fouls (45.) The Wandering Enraged Mommy Fungus got a 3-0 lead early and seemed to relax some, as the Powers came rather close goal-wise despite not being much of a threat to take points.

Sheffield Thursday - Odd Athletics 4 : 5 Scorers: Mark Byzewski (33., 60., 65.), Dave Ricker (27.) ***Odd Falkum (5., 68.), Jigglypuff (73.), Odd Harald Rex (13.), Odd O. Occean (5.) Booked: --- ***Odd Harald Rex A strategic victory for the Weirdoes over their table-neighbours the Owls. Impressive!

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 17 ======

Erkrath Gladiators - Wizards of Oz 6 : 1 Scorers: Dietmar Augustin (6., 33.), Heiner Johanns (51.), Daniel Klein (78.), Edi 'Woodpecker' Abel (9.) ***Gandalf (49.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Daniel Klein, Edi 'Woodpecker' Abel ***Gandalf The Lunatics have always been solid at Kampfbahn an der Gink, so too tonight, with a very impressive smackdown of the Magi.

Twin Peaks Owls - New Underdogs FC 1 : 0 Scorers: Audrey Horne (33.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Kristoffer Haestad Twin Peaks keep their challenge for promotion alive, with a one goal win over the Underdogs.

Camlutman City - Real Johto 1 : 3 Scorers: John Dreyer (62.) ***Pikachu (61., 86.), King (89.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Shroomish With both teams weakened by suspensions, the result ended up quite close to what one would've expected between the full teams - although the scoreline definitely flatters the Pocket Monsters.

March of the Black Queen - Dummys 1 : 0 Scorers: Claudio Gentile (75.) ***--- Booked: Gaetano Scirea, Marco Tardelli ***Vegetarian Food The Black Knights smack the Dummys out of the promotion zone with this one goal win at Giuseppe Meazza.

Monster Time - Andeby FK 3 : 0 Scorers: The Hand (2., 43.), The Creature (55.) ***--- Booked: Daddy Bear ***Guffen, Klaus Knegg, Klodrik Duck Andeby attempted to play two Goofys, but had to replace one of them with Anton. Still, not much to do against the Monsters in the Dungeon.

Greensleeves United - Disney Classics 0 : 0 Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Somehow Greensleeves couldn't manage to score on Disney Classics, so that it actually was the latter who came closest - against the table-toppers who have yet to lose at home this year!

Kirkwood Showdown Match day 18 ======

Dummys - Greensleeves United 2 : 0 Scorers: Tomatoes (55.), The Door Shut Properly (42.) ***--- Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Mouldy Remnants, Stains ***--- Greensleeves plummet downwards, after being detronized by spirited Dummys at Quartagon.

Twin Peaks Owls - Monster Time 3 : 0 Scorers: Dale Cooper (82.), Audrey Horne (75.), Garland Briggs (45.) ***--- Booked: --- ***The Creature A strategical victory for the Bookhouse Boys, picking the right strategy and leaving the Monsters chanceless. Promotion this year?

Camlutman City - March of the Black Queen 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Antonio Cabrini (76.), Gaetano Scirea (57.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- A match where The Mohahahas and Aleksej possibly had their hopes up, but the Black Knights were solid and finishes the weekend with style.

Real Johto - Wizards of Oz 8 : 8 Scorers: Pikachu (22., 77., 90.), King (46., 74.), Treecko (49., 86.), Gengar (8.) ***Gandalf (17., 41., 58.), Cowardly Lion (1., 79.), Fizban (60., 69.), Belgarath (53.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Gandalf The Magi claim another lucky point against the Pocket Monsters, but this time had the decency to leave them one.

Andeby FK - Disney Classics 2 : 0 Scorers: Dole Duck (57.), Klaus Knegg (36.) ***--- Booked: Gulbrand Graastein, Klaus Knegg ***--- Andeby gets it easy at Andeby Stadium, with no shots against at all.

New Underdogs FC - Erkrath Gladiators 0 : 0 Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Alex Valencia ***--- An even and slow match, resulting in the statistically most probable result.

13.Rosedale Knockout semi finals results

Sale Savoyards - Grunts United 1 : 0 Scorers: Mabel (67.) ***--- With no fighting spirit in either team, the Greenskins had virtually all the play, but allowed the Singers a counter attack in the middle of the second half, on which they scored. Continuing their inefficiency, 1-0 is the final score - good luck to the Singers in the final!

World Ambassadors - Lower Tadfield Apocalypse 3 : 4 ot. (3 : 3) Scorers: Prototype Jack (64.), Rudi van Hal (85.), John Milardovic (20.) ***The delivery man (35., 120.), Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (59.), Petter Belsvik (75.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Haavard Pettersen, Russ Bynum ***--- Quite even and exciting, with both teams having scored three goals through normal play. When overtime was almost over, and the Stabbers were preparing for the penalty shootout, the delivery man delivered a goal, and Tadfield qualifies for yet another cup final.

14. GM's ramble

All clubs submitted this time, good!

Next season is approaching, and I'd like some input on which teams you want to carry on with. Considering only some of you will be reading this here, I will write a note to everyone with their teamsheets.

Lower Tadfield Apocalypse still lead Rosedale Open, but Camarilla Divided now follow with 29 points to their 31. Monkey Business in third have 27. The relegation zone is made up of The 5 Percent Community at 11 points, the Ancients at 9 points and Really New Bremen Cyberdruids at 4 points. The luckiest team of Rosedale Open is Monkey Business, and the unluckiest is Sale Savoyards.

In Lexington League, Batt in Blax hold on to their one point lead, with them now being at 31 points, with World Ambassadors following on 30. Gangsters United follow three more points behind. In the relegation zone, we find Jedi Order (10), the Blitzball Team (9) and Lords (5). The luckiest team of Lexington is First Men of Rome, and the unluckiest is Desassossego Blues. The tie at the top of Berkeley Conference remains, with both Flaaklypa FK and Rosedale Quest now having 33 points. Brazil Star Conquerors follow closest, 8 points behind, with a one point lead over Ajax in fourth. DC Red Hot and Blues with 10 points, Fluffy Bunny Eaters with 6 points and Coventry with 1 point make up the relegation zone. The luckiest team of Berkeley is Car Park Rangers, and the unluckiest is Marvel Comics.

Kirkwood Showdown has been tossed up a lot, and is now lead by Twin Peaks Owls and Monster Time, with 23 points each. Dummys, Erkrath Gladiators and Greensleeves United all have one point to catch up, while Real Johto has two points to catch up to the top. Camlutman City at the relegation spot still have 6 points, now with 2 points up to Disney Classics at 11th. The luckiest Kirkwood team is Monster Time, and the unluckiest is Real Johto.

The luckiest team of all is Monster Time, followed by First Men of Rome and Monkey Business. The unluckiest team is Desassossego Blues, with Real Johto and Marvel Comics following closest.

The home advantage has increased to 9 VP. In the next issue, rounds 19 and 20 will be played.

The deadline for issue 11 is Friday, March 12, at 2130 CET.

I will send out your teams tomorrow, with questions for next season.
