Hi Aelisha, I'm in the US at the moment for work (8 hours behind UK time) this kinda limits when I can play. I'm not really free in the evenings until 6pm, which is stupid'o'clock UK time. I guess the best days for me are Saturday/Sunday, in theory I can do any time from 4pm (UK time) That's 8am my time. (yay for my maths skills.)
Hopefully league rollover could be delayed a little on Sunday if that's the only day that works

Poor Bloke seemed cursed by Sauron himself, whilst my team was blest by Gandalf and all the other good Wizards. It was somewhat farcical how many dice rolls he failed. All the key ones and plenty non-key ones too. For example, his Ogres in the whole of the first half only managed to knock down 1 of my Halflings and even that didn’t cause any damage. That’s with 3-dice blocks almost every time! In fact, my only 2 injuries were self inflicted ones. Poor Tobold Hornblower, perhaps too busy playing with his own horn, was tripped up by an Ogre and fractured his skull. The apothecary, in one of the best examples of malpractice yet, instead managed to kill the poor Hobbit!
Halflings were flying here, there and everywhere and almost all succeeded in being tossed by Treebeard, who had obviously been practicing with some Elven throwers! But definitely the funniest part of the game was at the beginning of the 2nd half. 2-0 down and receiving, Bloke was on a mission to get 1 back. Yet another Blitz result for me didn’t put a spanner in his works either, as the ball bounced out and he handed it to a Snottling, who was on the right sideline and with nobody in front of him. An Ogre walked over to the Snottling, picked him up and tossed him downfield to score. Except that the Ogre actually threw him off the pitch and he was beaten up by the crowd!
Hilarious moment that summarized fairly well Blokes luck for the game.A close 2nd was Blokes inability to knock down the mighty Deeproot Strongbranch. Despite ganging up on him with multiple 2 and 1 dice blocks, he just couldn’t knock him down. In the end he resorted to throwing a Snottling at him, only for the Snottling to hit an Ogre instead and stun him! So funny!
And so Middle Earth can now breath easy with Sauron finally vanquished once and for all! Who knows what adventure my Hobbits will get up to next?

After a first half that was, frankly, a farce for both teams, the Gruntz managed to rally in the second half to win 3-0.
I thought that my legendarily poor rolls were going to hold true again in this match, and at first they did, after 4 attempts to pick up a ball that would have allowed me to score uncontested that same turn failed. And also failed a reroll. Kas also had some epically bad luck with a lot of attacker downs and both downs on players without block and ended up with a lot of turns ending prematurely when they really shouldn't have (although he did manage to knock out 4 players and badly hurt 1).
Suddenly, though, all my luck changed. I was getting the kick off results, the flashes, everything. Lady luck decided to shine on the Gruntz (maybe she felt bad for all those other matches) and gave them the victory and a continuing place in League 2.
Good game Kasatka!

Serves him right. Greedy git.
In other news, lets worry about promotion/demotion when we see who in D1 wants to roll new teams.

what about when those in D3 want to roll new teams?
Or those of us in D2 who want to roll new teams?

Hey Phil,
Kinda a similar situation here, with Uni work, graduate placement apps and my sisters birthday I am restricted to sunday as silly-o'clock UK time in not really do-able during the week.
I appreciate your work is keeping you busy, so will gladly wait for a weekend game that is mutually agreeable for both of us, though I can do a much later time locally on the Sunday (as sisters birthday buffet will go on a bit). if you can PM preferred times, I'd appreciate it so I can schedule up in advance.
Basically Friday I can do anywhere from 19:00 to 00:00 GMT, Sunday same preferred, but can do silly-morning-time gaming if required (Monday essentially at that point). Academia and professional life ain't kind to us is it?

I was certainly planning rolling a new team, the coffin dodgers have nothing left to prove after a clean sweep at the top (excluding the game I've missed due to being stuck in the Hellhole of East Kilbride.
Potential for a new league perhaps, but most likely, that everyone that wants a new team can duke it out for places in D1 and 2, and everyone with a vet team can be pushed upwards.

It seems to me that everyone is too fearful of facing my mighty Halflings and are therefore trying to avoid them by dropping to division 3!
And to be honest, i dont blame you, seeing as they went undefeated through the entire season!

So other than phil and alishas game (which posting would lead me to believe is taking place sometime today) we're all played up for season 2. Will be around after work at 10 tonight to validate and post up off season thread.

So, the gods of hotel wifi decided that no connection could successfully be established (firewall issues I think).
With the office being locked I can't get another connection so I think I'm going to have to default on this week.
Not fussed whether that means a draw or a loss for me, though I would say that Aelisha's team value could do with a boost...
Fun times..
