“Luck reading and replay may be out due to needing to reload multiple times around turn 4 first half. My opponent was playing at his girlfriend's house and we encountered the TD -> disconnect bug. tassel did not have admin rights on the PC so could not update the network card drivers!

So many hours later, we continue at his parents house. Cept we forgot to bring his INC file. We thus reloaded 25 times to get the same handicaps (almost) before saving a turn, and then reloading my original save file and synncing to get the game going again! Was funny stuff actually....

Anyways the handicaps were:

It Wasn't Me
Palmed Coin
Smelling Salts
Bribe the Ref2 (we did not get this on the reload, but tassel didn't foul anyway and was not likely to vs my 3 DPs anyway)
--------------
Anyways, it was great to get to play Tassel and ELFO Delves as Leena is an absolute star and the Falcons have produced so many themselves. Unfortunately, she rolled a 1 and her niggling injury preventered her from playing.

The game was very one sided. tassel had few rerolls, and rolled a lot of double 1s and double skulls. He had a couple of turns end on double 1 or double skulls with the ball exposed or the ball carrier vulnerable which allowed me to steal the ball and score a couple of times.

There really was not much he could do as I was clearing (KO) his players regularly and had a big player advantage.

However, at the end of the day, there were no permanent injuries, no FF loss and some money for both coaches. Perfect outcome in my books :D My team got two players to 16 SPP and one to 51 for 3 adances (with a -AG aging) so I am pretty happy.

tassel, you were a pleasure to play and I hope to play you again some time.
