The match swung first one way, and then the other. First, the 'Tanks got off to a great start, using their numbers to push the Tossers around a bit and got one of them into the bin before half time. Things looked good for 0-0 at the break, when Jimbo (the only player on the pitch who seemed to want to play ball, rather than get punched) grabbed the loose (ie: dropped) ball and made a rude sprint for the line.
He was ignored by everyone else, who were much busier trying to rough each other up to bother with trying to stop him, or perhaps they just expected him to trip over his own feet just as he crossed the line for a touchdown...which he did. This was deemed fitting and in the spirit of the game.
The second half got off on the same foot, and more punching and occasional ball kicking (oval, not testicular) resulted in Pietro Miniscule attempting to organise an impromptu drive down the left, sneakily, while the main fight was still raging in the middle.
The scene was set for a certain touchdown, with plenty of turns left and a clear run through! But lest we forget, this is an Ogre team, not a Goblin one; the greenies are just along for the ride. So, in order that this be displayed, Old Bricks demanded that he be the one to take the ball over the line. Pulling rank works wonders when you're nine feet tall, and Pietro grudgingly handed it over...
Except that he didn't, because Bricks dropped it, and before you could say 'bonehead', Jimbo had nipped in again and was roaring off towards the 'Tanks' endzone for a second time, even more impertinently.
Well the other greenies were good enough to take time out of their busy fight-instigating schedule to cripple him, and the game ended with On-Yere trying to pick Jimbo up and bodily throw him across the line with the ball. Needless to say, he fluffed it, and the ball rolled obligingly to Daddy Fatsacks, who had just strolled infield from pushing his man into the crowd. Even more needless to say: Daddy dropped it. What a guy!
