League results Rosedale Premiership Match day 17 ================================== Fjortoft's Friends - FC Asskickers 0 : 0 Booked: JanAage ***Chris Jericho A rather hard-fought game to start this weekend off, in which either team could reasonably have scored, but in practice, neither did. The Ages - Twin Peaks Owls 3 : 0 Scorers: New Age (72.), The Sixties (74.), Carboniferous (57.) ***--- The Ages picked the right strategy for this game, and had no problems winning it. They're closing in on the top three, but have generally been solid at home. Perhaps the away game is greater reason for worry? Dummys - Mishima Zaibatsu 0 : 0 Booked: Madonna ***--- Dummys picked the right strategy, allowing Mishima Zaibatsu very little play in this one, and as made sense, it ended goalless. Extreme - Ladida FC 1 : 3 Scorers: Rooney (77.) ***Cowboy-Laila (45., 78.), Beyonce (60.) Extreme picked the better strategy, but still, Ladida were a little stronger and managed to edge out a win. I guess Extreme simply aren't strong enough for the Premiership now, even though they would have deserved quite a few more points so far. Blue Revolution - First Men of Rome 2 : 0 Scorers: Kazuya (16., 20.) ***--- Table toppers Blue Revolution hosted the Toga Boys, and with both a stronger lineup and the home advantage, the home win was rather clear. FC Mokum - Famous Battles 4 : 4 Scorers: Schaars (8., 50., 66.), Ari (30.) ***Stalingrad (25., 36.), El Alamein (56.), Marathon (76.) Even with just ten players, the Mock-Ups managed an upper hand in play against the Famous Battles. However, not enough to win the game, apparently. Rosedale Premiership Match day 18 ================================== Famous Battles - Fjortoft's Friends 1 : 4 Scorers: Marathon (50.) ***Schnix (8., 61.), Zico (75.), JanAage (35.) Famous Battles once again allowed a small play advantage against, and this time, their opponents hungrily capitalised on it. First Men of Rome - FC Mokum 1 : 2 Scorers: Roberto Pruzzo (41.) ***Marcellis (67.), Drenthe (62.) Booked: --- ***Roy FC Mokum had their whole team back, and fought just hard enough to make this win deserved. Ladida FC - Blue Revolution 1 : 3 Scorers: Kameninja (70.) ***Kyushichi (35., 49.), Kunihiko (25.) Ninjas weren't quite enough to stop the table toppers - a deserved away win for Blue Revolution. Mishima Zaibatsu - Extreme 5 : 0 Scorers: Jack 5 (21., 48., 79.), True Ogre (26., 53.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Rooney Ouch. Extreme get a big loss against away against the computer. It also seems it decided to be more efficient than statistic warranted - a three goal win would've been more fair. Twin Peaks Owls - Dummys 1 : 2 Scorers: Dick Tremayne (57.) ***G. Jolink (2.), U2 (14.) Booked: --- ***Doe Maar, G. Jolink Dummys picked the right strategy for this game, and deservedly came out winners. FC Asskickers - The Ages 3 : 3 Scorers: Sting (9.), Booker T. (86.), Mark Henry (88.) ***Perm (34., 54.), Cambrian (74.) The Asskickers were a little stronger in this one, but for a long time it looked like the visitors would win it. With five minutes to go, the Ages were still up by two, but the home team managed to even the score with an astonishing finish. Lexington League Match day 17 ============================== Al Rassan United - Sheffield Thursday 3 : 5 Scorers: Zabira (76.), Alessan (47.), Garcia de Rada (71.) ***Greg Aquino (26., 45.), Eric Gagne (84.), Ryan Braun (10.), Dave Bush (53.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Doug Davis The Owls have yet to give up completely on promotion this season; four points to catch up to third place before this round. With an away win, they're putting pressure on the teams ahead... Dead Dino Storage - Tamriel Athletic 1 : 0 Scorers: Black Bonzo (74.) ***--- Tamriel Athletic were hoping for a point, and almost got it. However, Black Bonzo managed to score a winning goal for DDS.' Car Park Rangers - Sleep Wanderers 1 : 0 Scorers: Terry McGinnis (29.) ***--- Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Ben Grimm ***Foxglove The Powers picked the right strategy, and won out because of it. That's the final good bye to the relegation struggle for them, but promotion still looks too far away... Springfield United - Gamblers United 3 : 2 Scorers: Apu (4., 48., 79.) ***Stephan Stillstrong (9.), Oystein Djupedal (87.) The right strategy and an Apu in scoring form let Springfield United keep both points in this matchup. Desassossego Blues - Kremlin 1 : 2 Scorers: Alexander Search (51.) ***Tove Smaadahl (41.), Martin Kolberg (67.) Booked: --- ***Tove Smaadahl An even top match that could easily have gone either way - what little advantage there was, belonged to the Blues. However, the Kremlin lads have their eyes on the Premiership and do not intend to stop now. Erkrath Gladiators - G.I.D. 2 : 1 Scorers: Hartmut Barowski (29.), Joerg Sieselack (82.) ***Emptiness (42.) The Lunatics are unbeaten at home, and it was no surprise that although the game was somewhat close, the Truth Seekers didn't get their first away point of the season in this game... Lexington League Match day 18 ============================== G.I.D. - Al Rassan United 1 : 0 Scorers: Crazy (14.) ***--- G.I.D. are starting to perform at home, and had little troubles defeating Al Rassan United this round. Kremlin - Erkrath Gladiators 1 : 5 Scorers: Korekiyo (75.) ***Holger Freimann (58., 65.), Daniel Klein (9., 29.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Inga Marte Thorkildsen, Karisma Veggimellom Horheim, Korekiyo ***--- The visitors picked the best strategy in this one, but the game was a lot closer than the scoreline indicates. Gamblers United - Desassossego Blues 4 : 1 Scorers: Ellen Elevator (17., 34.), Stephanie Strongpoint (52.) ***Alexander Search (43.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Sarah Stopper ***--- This was definitely not the Blues' weekend. The Gamblers were a little bit stronger, and somehow converted that into a three goal win. Sleep Wanderers - Springfield United 1 : 0 Scorers: Chantal (82.) ***--- Booked: Chantal, The Dancing Girl, Zelda ***Barney, Kwik-E-Mart Sleep Wanderers had 8 straight home wins, and even though they were this time hosting table toppers Springfield United, they managed to pull off the ninth after a late game goal from Chantal. Tamriel Athletic - Car Park Rangers 3 : 0 Scorers: Umog gra-Garz (2.) ***--- Penalties: 2 ***- Booked: Arnora Auria, Bumph gra-Gash ***Eddy Gordo After having picked the better strategy, Tamriel got off to a superb start, taking the lead after only two minutes. The rest of the game showed a helpful referee as well, and they got a rare twopointer. Sheffield Thursday - Dead Dino Storage 2 : 1 Scorers: Scott Linebrink (7.) ***Marillion (27.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Doug Davis ***Marillion, Valheista Kaunein The Owls were quite a bit stronger on paper, but their visitors fought hard enough to make it almost even. Ironically, though, that gave the home team a penalty which enabled them to win anyway. Berkeley Conference Match day 17 ================================= Thinkers FC - Harestua IL 3 : 1 Scorers: Jean-Jacques Rousseau (38.), Albert Camus (64.), Plato (76.) *** Apollon Sopa (29.) A match between two notorious home teams, and despite Thinkers being lower placed on the table, they managed to win it, having picked the better strategy. Time Will Tell - AZ 4 : 0 Scorers: Juan (55., 85.), Garnix (64.), Hatnix (13.) ***--- Time Will Tell played a far better game, and didn't allow a single shot on goal against. Easy win. Saturday Morning FC - The Potato People 5 : 14 Scorers: Calvin (41., 72., 81.), Wizard of Id (75.), Hobbes (34.) ***Valerie Potato (7 goal$s), Baby Potato (3., 18., 42., 52., 60.), Harold Potata (49., 78.) Booked: --- ***Harald Potatis Unsurprisingly, top team Potato People won this game easily. Call of Cthulhu - the Professors of Jazz 3 : 0 Scorers: The Quest of Iranon (39., 61.), The Alchemist (27.) ***--- First place at home against last place usually yield this result: a home win. Feyenoord - PSV 2 : 1 Scorers: Bronkhorst (15., 89.) ***Aisatti (40.) Booked: Cor Veldhoen ***--- A really close game, but Feyenoord's superior fighting spirit put them a tiny bit ahead, and allowed them to win. Slartibartfast FC - Frackers FC 9 : 1 Scorers: Eccentrica Gallumbits (6 goal$s), Hotblack Desiato (27., 43., 65.) *** Heian (29.) Slartibartfast had to make do with only 10 players due to suspensions, but with their far superior strategy, they won out huge. Berkeley Conference Match day 18 ================================= Frackers FC - Thinkers FC 3 : 1 Scorers: Heian (68., 84.), Boomer (36.) ***Augustine of Hippo (15.) Booked: --- ***Aristotle, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola The home crowd managed to cheer Frackers FC to a small play advantage, and the players of Frackers FC turned it into a win despite Thinkers FC getting a good start. PSV - Slartibartfast FC 1 : 0 Scorers: Simons (17.) ***--- A slow and boring game, where Simons' early goal was one of very few things to happen. the Professors of Jazz - Feyenoord 0 : 0 A slight play advantage to the Professors of Jazz in this one, but Feyenoord managed to find the strategy to tame them enough for a draw. The Potato People - Call of Cthulhu 4 : 1 Scorers: Achmed Potah'to (22., 85.), Valerie Potato (66.), Harold Potata (20.) ***The Quest of Iranon (12.) Booked: Achmed Potah'to ***The Beast in the Cave, The Statement of Randolph Ca. When some had started thinking the Berkeley championship had been handed out, the Potato People breathe new life into the struggle! With this win, they catch up two of the three points separating the top two teams, and make sure the fans will remain in suspense for a while longer..
