“The legend Mist, a gutter runner on no. 1 spot for most cas, was among the opponent team so my poor Zero's sprayed the musk of fear when clawing their way onto the pitch.

I kicked and he formed a cage halfway my field on a flank, shielding his ball-carrying gutter. My team ignored that mostly and blitzed Mist down, then applied some boot (hairy paw?) BH. Perfect. Now he was down to 9 plus his worst 'player-remover' was gone.

He scored. i scored (rats-game after all)

Then I rolled a blitz at kick off. All well and fine until I wanted to close the make-shift cage around the gutter whom was supposed to catch the ball. Failed. Incl RR.

He knocked over the ball carrier, picked up the ball but could not get it safe either. I blitzed, knocked over ball-carrier and wanted to gfi for a hand-off to score. Failed. Incl RR. (rrright) Then to make matters truly a joke he did the same. Gfi failed incl rr. Only then I could score.

Guess the spectators thought this was Laurel and Hardy on the pitch on rat-team shape.

Anyway; the game went on and in the end my added numbers were slightly more important and I could squeeze (squeak?) out a win.

A special notion must go to my RO whom was so utterly bleeding crap I should retire him. He failed his WA on 2+ about 50% of the time and every time when he had to blitz. (trust me; there was no better option than to blitz with him, I do not blitz with BG if I can help it)

Gonna keep the aged and now niggled dp despite that niggle. Normally I have a strict no-niggle policy but dp's are fluffy when limping around the field. ;D”
