“I dont even remember half of all the rolls that went haywire this game, so ill probably update this match raport when they start visiting me in my nightmares.

anyway
Idolens handicap was bad press, and he won the toss and chose to recieve. I remember thinking bad press is a manageable handi unless he gets the ref.. guess what. Yup, kick of table says egt the ref and im in deep trouble from the get go. I decide to ignore the posibilty of an early ball sack to try to down his lonely dp (who's already fouled a thrall to the bh box) unfortunatly i only manage a pushback and thus im reduced to try a retaliatory foul on a chaosdwarf, mnging the dwarf and almost getting my player ejected, only saved by sucsesfull arguing.

Next notable thing to happen, disregarding if i recall correctly a thrall being fouled to ko and a vamp being fouled to stunned and another vamp being fouled to bh but regenerating, is me getting a shot at possibly gangfoulign hthark if i manage to down him on a 2d, again im unsucsesfull and hthark instead pows my st 5 vamp who is then fouled into mng land. Weep!

Things are looking bleak but thanks to some fancy vamp rolls My 2 remaining vamps and2 thralls manage to steal the ball and actually cage around it somehow. Hthark however is sort of a pro at breaking cages and i expect nothing but a sack when he stumbles on his second gfi, my vamp breaks free and can run in a 1-0 score in the 7th turn after a foul to stun on hthark. Go me!

in the 8th turn the chaosdwarves mangles my los but doesnt do any lasting damage, and i am now of to recieve with a wiz to save me and a 1-0 lead.

Now the trouble starts, Idolen gets perfect defense on the kickof and i find myself without a clear path forward.. that doesnt amtter too mcuh though since I snakeeyes the ballpickup and soon find myself facing a charging bullcentaur who thanks to atleast taking some precautins to a possible failure has to deal with 2 thralls in the backfield. He stuns my ag 4 thrall all of sudden there's just a lonely thrall instanding next to the bc in my backfield. I call for reinforcements in the form of my ag 5 vamp who runs up to blitz the bull failing to down him and then decides to doge towards the ball to get more players around it.. another snakeyes is the result of this play.

The BC hesitates slightly and then rushes in the equalizer.

Oh well new attempt and again the ko is perfect defense.. grumble..
this time the kick is shallow again im left without any particulary good blocks on the los.. so i decide to go for the ball pretty much at once.. and .. you guessed it snakeyes. I am now slightly frustrated..Idolen overcommits a little however and I'm able to run a thrall down on his lower side out of reach of any possible blitzers (again thanks to good hypnotic gazes and ehe even hs the ball, i can't however prevent him for putting a hthark tz on the poor guy.

This is where i make a big misstake, im thinking im still leading 1-0, my brain has edited out the humiliating equalizer. So i shoot a big fireball on hthark to get the gamedeciding seconf td, well fireball misses so i have to orchestrate a series of blocks and hypnotic gazes that finally lets a vamp hypnotic gaze hthark and my thrall can score the 2-1 td. I only have 1 rr left though and Idolen has 3 turns to equalize and send the game into an overtime i'm not likely to win. I get a good first turn though and manage to put alot of rpessure on his ballcarying hobgoblin. Idolen knows he's running out of time and tries a risky play that pays og big time.

He passes the ball to his ag 3 bullcentaur that because of a failed block still is in one of my thralls tacklezones the pass burns a rr but Idolen makes all the other rolsl and has a clean breakaway with his bc.. until he takes an extra gfi move that ends with the bc nose first on the pitch.
I try to capitalize on this by firsts ending down a thrall to guard the ball and then sendign downa vamp to throw it upfield to anotehr vamp.

This vamp however fails his ofab roll and i feel i ahve to reroll this because otherwise my vamp will be all on his lonely self up by the ball after having bitten the thrall i sent there, i reroll the ofab and runs up to the ball taking a gfi step onto it and falling down and right into the ko box.

a couple of turns later the bc scores and it's 2-2. Bugger! Im at 0 rerolls now IDolen has 2.

overtime it is.. i get to recieve atleast and again i run into pd yet again..i manag e to knoc a vamp free and build a cage around him. Plan is to use ag 5 vamp to get the bal there and depending on Idolens rolls either try for the score or work the clock.. unfortunatly the vamp fumbbls the pass and ..
