“Skar Bay Sharks FC 1 - 3 Real Sociedead

A new Season and a new Gauntlet to run! Gone are the likes of Bristol Reavers and FC Kislevhagen and here come their replacements: B'ORCalona, Essetesford Town and Valencia Club de Futbol SAD – a blend of weak Women, rabid Dogs and dumb Coaching! (*Work out which one’s Russo ;) )

Or at least that is the optimistic view point of Real. But before any of that Real was charged with procuring a Friendly game.

After news reached the camp that the lily livered OBFTW (You may have heard of them) had fearfully turned down a recent friendly offer from a team Real was quick to leap at the opportunity of taking the lead in the mind games by defeating those in which they dared not face, they just had to find the team that made them cower so!

It didn’t take long until they tracked down the agent that made the offer and quickly signed up for a game against what many are pitching as the next best thing, an incredibly talented and mighty bunch of Shark rearing, Sea faring buccaneers named Skar Bay Sharks FC! Even though this would be a challenge by any other means it was made even more so difficult due to the fact that Real had never heard of them (*coughnoonehadcough*) and so had not prepared their usual pre-match scouting or developed tactics to defeat these awesome opponents, Real were on an unlevelled playing field - going uphill!


Trembling with adrenaline the Real ranks smashed into the scrimmage of the Sharks, badly hurting and KOing two of their players. The Sharks however were not so easily perturbed and quickly answered by KOing a Real zombie – boy these guys were great!

Real’s plan was to give new signing, Boukary Drame, as much ball handling experience as possible and so was designated as Goal scorer for the duration of game, collecting the ball from deep back field. The Sharks broke through the ill formed Real offensive line but failed just short of dodging from a marker to blitz the Wight – boy these guys were good!

Real then got their act together after the near miss and escorted Boukary Drame to the end zone!

1 - 0

Despite trying to pry Claudio Andres Bravo Munoz Christmas Present, a Pogo stick, from him prior to the game the cunning Mummy still managed to sneak it onto the pitch and got sent off for his stubborn frivolity as he bounced about the line of scrimmage!
A valiant return by the Sharks failed just short of some bad passing that would haunt them throughout the game – boy these guys were ok!

The Second half and Real were determined to make it 2 – 0! Some more bad passing from the humans let Real steal the ball and hurl it down field to a waiting Mummy. A handoff later and Drame had his second – boy these guys… actually sucked!

By the end of the game Real had notched up a third and the Sharks had taken a consolation TD and made the pass that they had been trying so hard to complete all game!

A thoroughly convincing win for Real against a questionable opposition – but morale is high and they are ready to face the Season ahead!

We’re I not feeling shameful enough for playing Darkwing, after accepting I was later instructed by Chewie to scroll up in chat only to find that Goo had minutes before declined the match up – his Metagooing is ungodly! Both I and my behaviour was later immortalised by Goo

Bless Darkwing though for not giving a hoot about TS and giving this sorrowfully looking Prem team a very easy and very fun game. I got the ref 3 times in the game, though not a single foul was made, and I just hope that that isn’t my seasonal quarter.

Thanks for game Darkwing and best of luck this season!
