“Lobocamalean summed up the game pretty well, I agree with everything he said. He was a fun coach and I'll gladly play his +ST freakshow of a team anytime ;)
About the blocking maybe it's just how the game is played, we Finns like to take out as many players as possible. The excessive fouling was a all or nothing tactic when I couldn't outmuscle him properly.”
“89000 screaming fans show up for the game between Sweetorcs and Verikulho Torled.
Handicaps for Verikulho were BRIBE THE REF 2, and MORLEY'S REVENGE on Brownie (morley struck entire second half).
No niggles, no stars, nice weather. We kick.
Perfect defense makes it hard for chaos but Brenkus manages to foul our Truffle again (KO). Our orcs seem a bit tired at first, get mostly arrows and skulls, and Chaos stun every second block. We get a blitz on their ballcarrier but they soon recover the ball again, and give it to Runefang who holds on to it in spite of a blitz. Soon their is a block-party on the LOS, with a slight Chaos advantage, mainly becuase Stonetroll makes better use of his guards. Well played. Then coach Stonetroll does a great play, getting Kumiduck free and running for the TD. We need some lucky blocking and a nice chainpush to get a 2dicebliz on him. Rerolled but Kumiduck refuses to go down. He then succeeds in doding the crowd with a two dice block, survives another block, and we need to reroll a blitz in order to get him down. Great player this Kumiduck. Then a great turn for the chaos, including a onediceblock that KOs my troll and a 5+ pickup. However, we have just to many st4 orcs and stop them from scoring.
Morley strikes on Brownie. Truffle again for us and Kumiduck for chaos remain KO. Mahvo for Chaos was badly hurt in 1st half.
Well, 2nd half does not start to nice for us. After a failed pickup, Brenkus badly hurts Ice Cream with a foul. Next turn he badly hurts Manjar. The ref still does nothing. Then I roll double ones on a gfi leaving my ball carrier unguarded, stupid and unlucky. But Blueberry catches the scattered ball. Soon another foul and another badly hurt. Quite lucky, third badly hurt on a foul and this time not even any assists. We find ourselves soon playing 7 on 11 and have to defend more than attack, and are quite happy getting a tie.
Well, good even game. I would say a tie was quite fair. Coach Stonetroll was the better coach today, he could probably even have won if he had not concentrated so much on blocking ;) when we only had 7 players left. On the other hand, playing vs so many st4-orcs, it sure aint easy.
Quote of the game: "hehe now you have to put 2 ST3 players on the field :)" / Coach Stonetroll: when I had to field as many as TWO st3 players for the second half :)
--
Just for the record: i wouldnt say that neither the fouling nor the blocking was excessive. Stonetroll played to win, and got some orcs off by nice tactic fouling. I had a great time, and already looking forward to the rematch where we surely will target Brenkus more :). ”
