“Well, bend me over backwards and give it to me where the sun don't shine, because that's what Nuffle just dealt out to me. Dice raped.

The injury stuff was not really what I'm complaining about. At the end of the day, if you play a team with a bit of MB then sooner or later you get hit heavy. However, today that was the icing on the cake. The problem with suffering a few bad injury rolls is that the injurers gain momentum and hence the problem is compounded. So that I pretty much accept.

I had one niggler at the start, he had 3. Yup, my guy got niggled out, his all played. First block, double skull. There was a quick pattern forming. First play he intercepts the a throw with an onrushing Varag. Then proceeds to stall, and I proceed to nail his pathetic tactic into an early grave. However, making every block he needs to make, my players just don't get an opportunity to set up any kind of scoring chance. Throw in a double skull with the troll - 1 of 3 I threw in the game on about a third of the block count compared to Dank - guess how many double skulls he threw, zero if I'm not wrong.

Even in the second half I managed to knock the ball carrier down despite starting it with only 8 on the field. In fact, I reduced him to an 8th turn TD when I had just 3 players finishing the game. In fact, it probably might have been a draw if I hadn't thrown a hatchet of snake eyes on some rerolled dodges whilst he accomplished his tasks (like picking up the ball and KOing the few players I had in the way) with relative ease.

His dirty player was on form. 2 injuries caused in the first 3 fouls in the first half. Of course, he never fails the ignomy rolls. (I swear the refs hate my players because I get sent off regularly on the first foul although I never really had the opportunity to foul in this match - this should not be construed as a complaint about the perfectly legimate tactic of fouling) Just to rub salt in the wound, the SI that does come my way is a niggle and the apothecary fails. His apothecary failed too, to be fair, but that was on a BH (and was on Varag).

I'm gonna be walking funny for weeks. Note to self; never, ever, ever again play at 4am. That's not the first time I've been nuffle ripped at that time, seems to be a pattern forming. Play me during the day, Dank, and I'll whoop your ass.

Steele: Chainsaw, you totally didn't deserve that Nuffle-beating. Good plays.
Rijssiej: jup
Chainsaw: oh well
Chainsaw: that's the way the cookie crumbled
Steele: Yeppers
Chainsaw: just wish the apo suceeded
Chainsaw: :(
Steele: Yeah, very nice lion to niggle :(
CorporateSlave3: you pulled off some classic stuff though
Steele: The Vg play was worthy of legends
Diarmuid: my only regret is that I didn't benefit from a match like that :)
CorporateSlave3: that stripping of Varag was maybe best play ever
Diarmuid: the apoth failure on Varag is priceless in my books
Diarmuid: sad it didn't cost him
CorporateSlave3: tragic
Steele: Very
CorporateSlave3: always tragic when a BH apoth fail doesn't cost the opponent big time
Steele: Seconded”
