Blackspine Manticores FL (Da Imp) - 1 vs 1 - Ska Kings Redux (nobby)The sight of grown men running around in loin cloths and several others pretending to be dogs clearly put the Manticores off their game. The Dark Elves never got into a rhythm in this match, no thanks to suffering 2 casualties in the opening 2 turns - although they did cause 2 casualties in retaliation. The Manticores had elected to kick the ball to the Ska Kings, backing their ability to turn the ball over and score themselves. It came very close to working as the Ska Kings fluffed their opening drive, thanks largely to a highly inept Yeti who would prove more of a liability to it's team throughout the match. The Manticores flooded the ball carrier but couldn't quit stop the Norse from managing to escape with the ball. A failed pass then meant the ball got mired just inside the Manticores half and the teams would retire to the dugouts all level at 0-0 come half time. The second half started with a Norse fan braining a Dark Elf with a bullet of the thrown rock. The Manticores though were able to recover from this and launch an attack down the right wing and open the scoring with a risky passing maneuver. Caught quite brilliantly in the end zone by the darling of the Blood Bowl pitch, Mistress Pain herself. But with numbers dwindling following another casualty, the Manticores were unable to keep the Ska Kings out for long. An inevitable tide of scantily dressed men swarmed forward and equalized with turns left to play. Both teams were now searching for the win. Soon it was just the Ska Kings who were looking for the win as a failed dodge left the Manticores ball carrier horribly exposed and subsequently flattened. The Dark Elves were able to scamper back and offer up just enough protection to deny the Norse from stealing the ball to claim a hard fought draw. In celebration of a game well played Mistress Pain extended an invitation to the Ska Kings to join her in her dungeon. At least one player was spotted sneaking out of the stadium towards Mistress Pain's waiting coach - but then it's really hard for a Yeti to sneak so it's no surprise it was spotted. Yeti or not, here I come!

Caimen Excise Dodgers (nearly) 0-0 Hive of Scum & Villainy (anchor) A very entertaining no score draw. The Scum got to the edge of the endzone before getting sacked. A fireball seriously disrupted the Dodgers attempts to do anything with the ball, and also put a Saurus in the injury box The 2nd half just descended into a mid-pict mass brawl. Seripas ran through 3 cages like they didn't exist, and finally sacked the ball carrier on his fifth (including rerolls) attempt. Nobody could do anything with the ball, and the lack of injuries meant neither side could get a numerical advantage. A bit of a hail mary play at the end could have allowed the Scum to steal a victory (the Dodgers missed out a scoring attempt by dropping a hand-off), but the pass was inaccurate and ended up in the hands of a moved player. Good game Nearly, a draw was probably a fair result.

Howlierzz (Boo1964) 2 VS 0 Bumslurry Fuckpigs (Valis)
After tense nail biting dayz waiting for the Hated Elves Match. I was surprised to find them squishy and warm like their Big blue blob coach. Both Prince Smiffums and Baronate were injured, sadly no deaths but will miss the next game. There were no Elf shananigans so unlike those sneaky gits. But not to let me down there were a couple of fouls that did not disappoint my belief in those sneaky gits.

WATCHTOWER'S SUCCESS!
I have done it, I would like to thank my wonderful girlfriend for the inspired support with lines such as 'Why aren't you texting me are you playing that shitty Blood Bowl game again?" and I would like to thank my wonderful family for putting up with me screaming with joy when scoring and crying when conceding ever since I moved back in due to the pandemic.
After all this time, the slog through games where I would concede more than 4, losing half my team in the first half or just attempting six plus dodges I have made it into the elite hall of fame of Blood Bowl.
LET IT BE KNOWN WATCHTOWER FINISHED NEUITRAL THIS SEASON (1-1-1)
(the fact I only played half the season doesn't count due to the fact that nobby bullies me.)
THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE
NEXT SEASON HEREBY I DECLARE THAT I SHALL WIN TWO GAMES!
On a less jokey note I've grown to love the community of fun league, how nice everyone has been to a noob like me has been brilliant. You shall see my famous dirty dozen involved next season.
Till then consider me the winner of fun league.
Cheers, Watchtower
P.S Whoever told me about the chino thing with nobby thank you, he hates that.

Grassgrow Rangers (booncabal) 2 v 1 Angry Vomit JV (FL) (OgTheBeautiful)
A tough, grim game of the occasional flash of skill amidst lots of, well, not a lot really. Og made the hits, but my players were hopped up on special brew and poppers, and took the best he had. Both teams saw Nuffle step in at key moments, but the only death was an Ork dodge (he got better though). Dancin' Dougal skipped in for one in each half as his pace was too much, and the Ork's just didn't quite have enough time for the inevitable equalizer.
Fun game, more tactical than Og and I usually play...

Ghouls Aloud (Penkoon) 3-0 Lancashire Loverats (VALIS)
A glorious match where Nuffle saw fit to bestow a bounty of double 1s upon the Loverats. After a riot delayed the kick-off, when the match did eventually get going it was delight right from the get go. Feared one-turner Sluutch did his thing, dodging through the Ghoul defence and into the endzone before they knew the match had even started, only to trip over his feet at the last moment and fall flat on his face. It was beautiful. Shortly after he was given to the spectators to play with, but though they badly hurt him they were unable to claim themselves a bounty. From there the Ghouls scooped up the ball and aided by a plethora of Nuffle induced Loverat turnovers, the bribed ref sending two Skaven off, and a handful of casualties along the way, the Necro side scored once to close the first half and then twice more in the second.
Cheers for the game Valis. You must have done something to piss Nuffle off!

The Alliance of Light (Da Imp) - 3 vs 0 - Shartnado (Penkoon)In a game that Short Game magazine called the "triumph of the century" and PlayFling labeled "The greatest game ever played by a Halfling team". The Alliance of Light pulled the hapless Shartnado apart. The Light's Treemen were on top form in this game, roaming the pitch at will and racking up the casualties, aided in no small part by the Halfling Hit Squad who diligently mopped up any players left lying on the pitch. After the first turn the Goblins had suffered 1 dead, 1 casualtied and 1 KO, buy turn 2 there were 2 more casualties and another 2 KOs in the dugout. The writing was already on the wall for Shartnado... this was going to be a bloody game. One of sheer survival. Come turn 6 and the Goblins had been pitch cleared. 1 dead, 5 casualties and 5 KOs. It was a glorious achievement, one that will live long in Fling history. Poems and epic sagas will be written about the 11 heroes on the pitch (maybe not about Elf Aire Jordhen who was KOd in turn 3 and never returned). It was almost inconsequential when the Light strolled over to score in turn 7. Shartnado were shattered. A brave second half saw 6 remaining Goblins try to mount an attack of their own but they never looked like scoring. The Light simply brushed them away and ran in another 2 touchdowns, barely breaking a sweat as they did so. On to the playoffs and a date with Grassgrow Rangers. The Light emerge with the only 100% record in the league, played 6 won 6 and the most touchdowns scored in the league with 15. These little guys are only looking up!

Ps: thanks for the game Penkoon, that was a riot of one sided luck! I'm not sure I suffered a turn over all game (well apart for the 3 sendings off, but that hardly counts!) If I manage to sneak past Grassgrow Rangers we will meet again!

Yep that was a beat down! Must have used all my luck up on Valis yesterday. Inevitably I also rolled 1 for earnings and the dead gobbo got the MVP!
Cheers for the game!

Alliance of Light - 1 vs 0 - Grassgrow Rangers (aot)The Light move on to a semi-final encounter against the mighty Ghouls Aloud. Surpassing all expectations this plucky team can now dream of glory, secure in the knowledge they will go down in the history of Halfling Blood Bowl!
The game went to extra time... although that really wasn't necessary. So excited were the Light at chasing around the lone surviving Rangers player that they clean forgot to score in turn 16! That left 4 bleeding Rangers players to take to the field and get trampled by a full 11 Light players. Aire Jordhen did the honours and scored the winning TD.
But travelling back to the first half and things were actually very tight. The Rangers won the toss and elected to receive the ball. They didn't get too far before the ball carrier was sacked and the Light turned over possession. But try as they might, the Light were unable to turn possession into touchdowns as the Rangers mounted a heroic defence, just doing enough to keep the Light at bay mere meters from the Rangers end zone. 0-0 at half time.
The second half though is where things swung dramatically in the favour of the Light. Three casualties in one turn meant the Light had a 4 player advantage early on in the half and they used it to dramatic effect as player after player was dragged off the pitch for the Rangers. Clearly the red mist descended for the Light and they got carried away trying to pitch clear the Rangers - leading to the minor oversight of not scoring.
