Broadcast messages Jaap Smolders, Ajax: «We fear our next opponent carpark rangers especially of course NUMBER FOUR... Dispite that we just try to steal their points with some new strategy move. Hehehe we will see how that works out. 17 players time to sell some. With pain in our hearts we release them on the transferlist good luck boys.» Jørgen Bjørnelv, Andeby FK: «Maja HI maja HO maja HA maja AHA» (GM comment: Numanumayè, numanumanumayè) Peter J. Richardson, Coventry: «DC Red Hot may have won this time, but they look set to join us in the Kirkwood Showdown for a rematch next season. :-)» Sean Cable, DC Red Hot and Blues: «Will it only be beating Coventry...» Håvard Pettersen, Flaaklypa FF: «Want to trade players: D II 10, M II 7 and F II 10 are available, others may go too if getting the right offer.

Apprentices discovered None. 4. League results Rosedale Open Match day 13 =========================== Mishima Zaibatsu - Grunts United 0 : 0 The Greenskins become the second team to get a point at the Iron Fist Tournament this season, with the help of the unlisted Terry Toopatch. Monkey Business - Dangermouse 17 : 0 Scorers: The SCUMM bar chef (9 goal$s), Minnie Goudsoup (51., 85., 87.), Carla (2., 19.), Elaine Marley (55., 81.), The Voodoo Priest (35.) ***--- A very easy victory for the Pirates Wannabe, who holds on well to their second place here. Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - The 5 Percent Community 10 : 0 Scorers: Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (6 goal$s), Pepper (2., 6., 83.), Petter Belsvik (27.) ***--- The Greedy Retards had half their team out with suspensions, but the Apocalypse was still lucky to win by two digits. Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Sale Savoyards 0 : 12 Scorers: --- ***Sam (2., 6., 19., 38., 74.), Goldbury (11., 28., 62., 68.), Hilarian (49., 78.), Chancellor (43.) Sent off: Sam Touile (38.) ***--- Booked: Peter Parker ***--- The Cyberdruids were weakened by suspensions, rested their best player, and fed Trion. It should come as no surprise that the Singers thus won the match at Rosewood Cemetary, and put some extra distance to the relegation zone. Camarilla Divided - Saturday Morning FC 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***The Brain A slow match in the Mansion Cellar, with Generation X having somewhat more chances of scoring a goal. the Ancients - Call of Cthulhu 0 : 3 Scorers: --- ***Dagon (7.), Leftovers (21.), Will Hayward (67.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: Morosaurus ***Cthulhu, Will Hayward Nanotyrannus replaced the missing Mammoth, and the Oldtimers dominated the battle at the Archeological Site. However, the Lurking Fear had more karma to spend, and won comfortably 3-0. Rosedale Open Match day 14 =========================== The 5 Percent Community - Mishima Zaibatsu 2 : 1 Scorers: Arne Sandsto (30.), Christer George (10.) ***Anna Williams (22.) The Greedy Retards were in the 7th heaven over their gift this week, and through extraordinary efficiency, they managed to beat Mishima Zaibatsu at Straume Bedehus. Is this the end of the latter's medal aspirations? Grunts United - Monkey Business 1 : 0 Scorers: Phoreign Photo (3.) ***--- Booked: Larry Long, Trolluc Troeffel ***Ozzy Mandrill The Greenskins got a great start when Phoreign Photo scored in the third minute, and successfully rode that into a 1-0 win. Can they still hope to bring medals to Shraaaag's Memorial Stadium once again? Lower Tadfield Apocalypse - the Ancients 7 : 0 Scorers: The delivery man (46., 63.), Chalky (51., 81.), Mrs. Beryl Ormerod (23.), Agnes Nutter (20.), Petter Belsvik (9.) ***--- The Apocalypse keep steaming forward with flattering scorelines, and with their main opposition giving away points on a steady basis, they look like a good candidate to be the first club to win Rosedale Open two years running. Really New Bremen Cyberdruids - Camarilla Divided 0 : 5 Scorers: --- ***Jerry 'Informed' Time (21., 53., 58.), Sebastien 'Decisive' Gibraltar (41., 70.) Booked: Gregorio Vinchester ***--- Top against bottom with a predictable result... the Cyberdruids really need to do something drastic if they want to save their seat for next season, relegation is looming behind the refridgerator. Sale Savoyards - Dangermouse 7 : 1 Scorers: Fitzbattleaxe (2., 33., 67.), Sam (8., 32., 70.), Goldbury (21.) *** Buggles Pigeon (3.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Baron Silas Greenback II, Mad Manuel The Singers feel T5PC's breath in their necks, and proceed to crush the Mouseketeers in a scramble upwards the table. Saturday Morning FC - Call of Cthulhu 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Sent off: Quickdraw McGraw (46.) ***Cthulhu (3.) Booked: --- ***Abhoth, Dagon, Yig A truly hardfought game, where the strongest team won out on a penalty in the end. Lexington League Match day 13 ============================== Gangsters United - Desassossego Blues 6 : 1 Scorers: Little Carmine (21., 40., 68.), Svarte Petter (2.), Nina Myers (58.) ***Vicente Guedes (57.) Penalties: 1 ***- The Mobsters keep promotion hopes alive with this convincing victory over the Blues. Dial Square FC - Les Gaulois 1 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Abraracourcix (16.), Ordralfabetix (67.) Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Sent off: --- ***Yoshimitsu (41.) Booked: --- ***Avoranfix, Cetautomatix Two pretty even teams faced off at Plumstead Common, but since the away team wanted the points more, noone could complain except a certain Japanese ninja sent to an early shower. After an abysmal start to the season, the Gaulois have certainly picked up pace lately. the Blitzball Team - Jedi Order 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Mace Windu (11.) A fourpointer in the relegation struggle between the two teams coming from the top division this year. It was tight and even, but a somewhat stronger away team manages to score the match's only goal, and secure two important points in the quest for survival. World Ambassadors - Batt in Blax 8 : 3 Scorers: Rudi van Hal (22., 33., 46., 89.), Russ Bynum (1., 86.), John Milardovic (51.) ***Hamish Marshall (79.), Nathan Astle (74.) Penalties: 1 ***1 Booked: Steph Mabie ***Michael Papps The ambassadors had apparently hired in someone from the Mobsters to give Batt's keeper shoes of concrete, as what should reasonably have ended 3-3, ended 8-3 when the Black Caps just kept conceding goals. This retains a little excitement as to who wins the Lexington League! Lords - First Men of Rome 6 : 15 Scorers: Skorec M. (1., 29., 82.), Pizdo Lizec (53., 77.), Tisik Reten (67.) ***Marcus Livius Drusus (10., 20., 52., 71.), Titus Flavius Vespasianus (40., 84., 88.), Marcus Tullius Cicero (30., 34., 84.), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (4., 66.), Gaius Julius Caesar (55., 62.), Spartacus (43.) Lords tosses Trion three points, but it didn't matter in any case, as they were duly slaughtered by the Toga Boys. Dead Dino Storage - Sleep Wanderers 4 : 1 Scorers: Popol Ace (2., 27.), Mean Middlefielder (48.) ***Despair (19.) Penalties: 1 (2 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Thessaly An interesting midtable game that could have gone either way - so the Night Terrors were a little stronger, and DDS significantly luckier, and it thus ends with a home win at Dark Side of the Moon. Lexington League Match day 14 ============================== Jedi Order - Gangsters United 2 : 7 Scorers: Mace Windu (22., 79.) ***Little Carmine (12., 35., 83.), Tony Blundetto (20., 47.), Dr. Evil (39.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: --- ***B-gjengen, Tony Blundetto The Jedis had already claimed their two points for the weekend, and didn't come close against the Mobsters. Desassossego Blues - Dial Square FC 4 : 1 Scorers: Fernando Pessoa (10., 80.), Vicente Guedes (36.), Alberto Caeiro (25.) ***Vieira (39.) Sent off: --- ***Fabregas (3.) Booked: Raphael Baldaya, Ricardo Reis ***--- A strategical victory for the Blues, which was increased in size when Fabregas tossed pizza at the referee already in the third minute. the Blitzball Team - Dead Dino Storage 1 : 0 Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***OSI, The Tangent, Transatlantic *yawn*... the match was decided on a penalty... and if I'm not mistaken, it must have been given for passive play! World Ambassadors - Lords 13 : 1 Scorers: John Milardovic (6 goal$s), Rudi van Hal (17., 24., 27., 51., 52.), Newton
