Hey Eagle! So 22:00 Sunday works for me (assuming my new job doesn't start that early, which it shouldn't). Added ya on steam Account name Three of Clubs. Your team has a lot of interesting strengths on it, should make for a very fun and interesting match!

Your team has a lot of interesting strengths on it, should make for a very fun and interesting match! Confirmed. I may up to 15 mins late - I put the little one to bed around 22:00 GMT and sometimes she has other plans =) My norsemen have been a little lack luster all season to be honest, but if the dice are right, they can do some work. Either way, those av7s have guts and bring them every game (sometimes displaying them to the crowd as they get wiped off the pitch...) see you on the pitch, coach, Comfort_Eagle

Sometimes Nuffle is angry. Sometimes Nuffle is FURIOUS.
Today was one of those days, and Docoz was the receiver of some righteous smiting.
4-0 to the Wood Elves thanks to 2 blitzes, the ball being especially slippy, and Mr Sidewinder and his tricks...
Uploaded.

Today I learned that Undead love dark and stormy nights. It empowers them to the point where they just grab the ball and just barrel through anyone in their way
A well played match by Norse, but the house was in one of those blitzy-punchy moods tonight
2-0 to Undead
BBM seems to be down so I'll upload that match soon as things are working again.

0-3, Untouchables defeated my chaos completely. My team wasen't able to do anything, failing every key dice role.

I hope you recovered from the bad luck wenteros. It's never easy to deal with (I once wrote a strategy guide for blood bowl that focused around the importance of just rolling 6's and stop rolling 1's because that's a losing strategy).
I mean, you got a KO chaos warrior on the kickoff and despite getting equal hits off, you had more KO's at the end of the first half than I did; not to mention your agility boosted beastmen failing their throws while my loner woodelfs succeeded in hard pickups, dodges and throws.
I managed to run a catcher through 3x dodge into a tackle zone once and when you tried the same later with a 4agi dodge beastman, he tripped on the last dodge and went KO.
Certainly there was little that you could do. I think that's where the real character building of bloodbowl comes from: sometimes it's just so deeply unfair.
To quote a bit of one of my favorite poem's by a baseball player:
Of showing what is meant by grit Of fighting on when others quit Of playing through, not letting up It’s bearing down that wins the cup Of taking it and taking more Until we gain the winning score
Of dreaming there’s a goal ahead Of hoping when our dreams are dead Of praying when our hopes have fled Yet losing, not afraid to fall If bravely, we have given all
For who can ask more of a man Than giving all within his span Giving all, it seems to me Is not so far from victory
tl;dr: If you truly give your best, then you kinda win even if you lose.

I watched the game (at high speed) thinking... "These are the sort of dice rolls Wenteros usually gets when he plays me..."

dunam, hudd - nope, my badluck continues in Bronze League - 4 double ones in first half, failing key rolls as always, and to top that - disconnect in 2nd half xD.
