“[22:17] <chunky04> Well Joe, I-House look to be setting up for one of their patented two turn flank drives down the topside of the pitch
[22:18] <JoeKano-ig> no, its a blitz!!!!!!!!
[22:18] <chunky04> Think about the pressure on there rookie thrower Camo II, in only his second game
[22:18] <chunky04> The blitz will really force him to think on his feet here
[22:19] <chunky04> The Tide begin with knocking over Big Gay Axe
[22:19] <chunky04> then move into good position
[22:20] <chunky04> attempting to put a crimp on I-House's catchers
[22:21] <JoeKano-ig> and the ball goes deep in i houses back filed
[22:21] <chunky04> of course, should the ball go out, they may be caught flat footed if I-House get a touchback
[22:21] <JoeKano-ig> field
[22:21] <JoeKano-ig> but it stays in
[22:22] <JoeKano-ig> I house start their drive
[22:22] <JoeKano-ig> reorienting thier axis of advance
[22:22] <JoeKano-ig> oh htaTS A FOUL BLOW TO THE NADS ON cRUSHEM
[22:23] <JoeKano-ig> Diltzt and Cannon fall back tp support Camo II
[22:24] <chunky04> yes it was Joe, but it appears Crushems nuts weren't umm crushed, and he manages to stay on the pitch, though I imagine he'll be feeling that for a while
[22:24] <chunky04> and Axe has once more headed off to the ko box
[22:25] <chunky04> Could he be hoping for a reunion with that special someone from Season 4?
[22:26] <JoeKano-ig> The Tide are smashing their way downfield in adesperate attempt to get to the ball
[22:26] <JoeKano-ig> maybe Chunk, Maybe
[22:26] <chunky04> I-House have a number of players down, but if they can get clear, surely the Tide's lack of pace will tell
[22:26] <JoeKano-ig> And Brittus also goes to tspend some time in the box
[22:27] <JoeKano-ig> Camo scoops the ball and passes to Mick ellem who takes off down the field like a bat outtsa hell
[22:28] <chunky04> Very impressed with the rookie's coolness under pressure Joe
[22:28] <chunky04> The few Orc players down get up, as the Tide pause to regroup
[22:30] <chunky04> Kill Ratz moves to force I-House to score quickly, as the rest of the Tide get to bashin!
[22:31] <JoeKano-ig> the tide turn on the I house players realising that Micky was too quick
[22:31] <chunky04> which they promptly do, and Joe, I believe Micky Ellem has finally earnt that third skill
[22:31] <JoeKano-ig> their desperate ploy of putting pressure on the passer has failed
[22:32] <JoeKano-ig> if he lives through the game chunky04
[22:32] <chunky04> Obviously Axe's rendesvous didn't work out, as he's back on the pitch and raring to go!
[22:32] <JoeKano-ig> Brittus has found the soft pillows though
[22:33] <JoeKano-ig> And now I house swing over to defence
[22:33] <JoeKano-ig> well chunky04 offence has not beena strong point for the tide this season so this may be a good strategy here by I house
[22:34] <chunky04> I-House's depth will really be tested on the defense Joe, as the premature firing of their Blitzer last game means they'll be fielding two catchers on defence
[22:34] <chunky04> I-House appear to be going for a raiding setup with contingencies
[22:35] <JoeKano-ig> that will add vital speed to the defence though
[22:35] <JoeKano-ig> heres the kick
[22:36] <chunky04> I-House kicks right to the middle
[22:37] <chunky04> The Tide begin their drive with some less than impactful blocking
[22:37] <chunky04> As the crowd begins to get restless at the lack of blood
[22:39] <chunky04> and Doo something gets a little smart, not living up to his name at all, throwing a perfect pass to the Tide's thrower
[22:39] <JoeKano-ig> solid opening to the drive there by the Tide but little bashing due tot he deep defensive placement of I house
[22:39] <chunky04> Tide turns ends with the ball in the comfortable hands of pushem
[22:39] <JoeKano-ig> the ball is taken forward and brought up to pushem
[22:40] <JoeKano-ig> Kev Jr does something to make him the envy of elves every where to blitz Pushem , spilling the ball but it lands with
[22:40] <JoeKano-ig> Kill Ratz!
[22:41] <chunky04> He's really having a good game Joe, popping up in all the right places
[22:41] <chunky04> That could have been ugly for the tide if I-House had managed to snaggle the ball
[22:42] <chunky04> and continuing a trend, Axe goes down, this time his small brain somehow got stunned!
[22:42] <chunky04> and the Axehads begin to chant!
[22:43] <chunky04> The Tide cover Kev Jr while planning where to move the ball
[22:44] <chunky04> and Kill Ratz takes the safe option and moves into a cage of Orc flesh
[22:44] <JoeKano-ig> looks like they have gone defensive boxing up in a semi open formation
[22:44] <JoeKano-ig> alsmost daring Kev Jr to repeat his earlier elfy ways
[22:46] <JoeKano-ig> looks like Kev is ropping back to form a receiving position as I house position themselves to shut this drive down
[22:46] <chunky04> I-House knock over a couple of Orcs, as they keep their options open
[22:47] <chunky04> Tide begin with some purposeful blocks, opening the start of a seam in the middle of I-House's defensive cordon
[22:48] <chunky04> no risks at this stage though, they appear content to wait for a better opportunity
[22:49] <chunky04> I-House sees an opening however, and prepares to try one of their patented risky moves!
[22:49] <JoeKano-ig> its a tough ask..
[22:49] <chunky04> and fail straight away, as Cannon fails spectacularly, as the crowd jeers!
[22:49] <JoeKano-ig> and Cannon goes down trying the self same risky maneuver
[22:50] <chunky04> Actually Joe, I believe that was to be the safe part of said risky manouever, but listen up, the crowd have started up a We want blood, Foul him in the nus! chant
[22:51] <chunky04> As the Tide take up a commanding position
[22:53] <JoeKano-ig> will they try a nother risky manuever to break the tides postion
[22:53] <JoeKano-ig> they swarm the tides breakawy battle group
[22:54] <chunky04> and the Axeheads go wild as Axe throws a rare block!
[22:54] <JoeKano-ig> as Axe Takes down Rork
[22:54] <JoeKano-ig> but Deej trips trying to clear the sidelines
[22:55] <chunky04> Pushem takes care of business first, putting Seano in the ko box
[22:56] <JoeKano-ig> and Kill Ratz burst through for the equaliser
[22:56] <chunky04> then diltzy makes a crucial mistake, allowing Kill Ratz a nice blitz on Richie III for an easy score, what an idiot!
[22:58] <chunky04> I-House do have a chance to try and do some damage however
[22:59] <chunky04> and they look to be aiming squarely at pushem!
[22:59] <JoeKano-ig> oops i think the Tide coach hadn't realised that in his setup that it was turn 8
[22:59] <chunky04> with no success!
[23:00] <chunky04> As Camo II picks up another completion, Joe notes what an excellent half the tide have had
[23:00] <JoeKano-ig> but camo racks up some skill with a short throw
[23:00] <chunky04> As Axe is back to his normal form and goes down trying to hug Bork
[23:01] <chunky04> The Tide use their first reroll of the match in turn 8, you think nuffle's starting to turn on them Joe?
[23:02] <JoeKano-ig> could be as despite some great blocks they manage again no blood to be shed
[23:02] <chunky04> What are you impression at half time Joe?
[23:02] <JoeKano-ig> iuts atough close game Chunk
[23:03] <chunky04> I predict that though the blood will begin to flow next half, the Tide's ball handling will falter, and I-House will emerge with the victory
[23:03] <JoeKano-ig> I think the house still have the better skills but can they last against the grinding pressure they have been under
[23:03] <JoeKano-ig> you coul be right Chunk, but this is Blood Bowl and as wel all Know.....
[23:03] <JoeKano-ig> Nuffles Favours No ONE!
[23:04] <chunky04> and Brittus III stays in the KO Box -you don't think the poor bugger got found by Axe's rendesvous do you?
[23:04] <JoeKano-ig> its still got a lot to happen in this game and could easily go either way
[23:04] <JoeKano-ig> maybe Chunk, he seemed to have a certain smile on his face as he was carted off
[23:04] <chunky04> was it a smile or a grimace?
[23:05] <chunky04> I-House setup with only slight adjustments to their defence, happy with the chances it brought them last time
[23:06] <JoeKano-ig> Heres the Kick!!
[23:07] <JoeKano-ig> as the kick goes in theres movement on the Defence as the readjust to a setup to match the Tides positioning
[23:07] <chunky04> I-House look set to go kamikaze into the Tide backfield Joe, the Tide's ballhandling could really be tested here
[23:09] <chunky04> showing tremendous confidence in their ballhandlers, the Tide push through the middle
[23:11] <JoeKano-ig> they bring the ball forward almost tempting I house to try one of their risky Manuevers again
[23:11] <chunky04> And they successfully move the ball away from the open field, in the hands of a rookie lineman
[23:11] <chunky04> and it loks like I-House is going to oblige Joe
[23:12] <JoeKano-ig> Git Going is looking confident but can that confidence last..
[23:13] <chunky04> I-House is partially successful, knocking over Git Going, but failing to pickup the ball afterward
[23:13] <chunky04> That was looking rather dangerous Joe
[23:16] <JoeKano-ig> Tide recover the ball and put in some solid hits, can I house crack it free again
[23:17] <JoeKano-ig> Kev Jr drives in to take the ball,,, fails to put Pushem down
[23:18] <chunky04> I-House have another attempt on the ball, but they look like they're beginning to go back into primadonna mode, very few impactful blocks from I-House these last few turns
[23:18] <chunky04> As Bork knocks out Cannon in what could prove to be a decisive play
[23:18] <chunky04> and Crushem finally puts the ever annoying Diltzy down
[23:21] <JoeKano-ig> The tide bring Pushem forward witht the ball in a strong series of blocks
[23:21] <chunky04> and as usual, every time I-House could use a half decent contribution from Axe, he's busy picking his nose
[23:22] <JoeKano-ig> I house set up a crushing rejoinder but Axe is counting Daisies
[23:23] <chunky04> I-House come up with an excellent backup plan, launching another raid on the ball carrier, this time with some punch behind it
[23:24] <chunky04> But once again, their reluctance to get into the hard stuff tells, as they fail to have any meaningful impact, another opportunity wasted
[23:27] <chunky04> Pushem moves the ball to the other side of the pitch, can I-House make another effort?
[23:28] <JoeKano-ig> itll take some great efforts by em as thats a solid wall of orc there
[23:29] <chunky04> and now, after wastign numerous opportunities, I-House seem to have found their vigour in the pointless Blocks
[23:29] <chunky04> I tell you Joe, I really believe they may lack the will to win to steal this one
[23:31] <chunky04> Amazing Joe, even the Tide'[s thrower Tossit has no trouble knocking over Axe
[23:31] <JoeKano-ig> Pushen runs free as Tossit lays into Axe with a brilliant block, dropping the Big Gay One!
[23:32] <chunky04> I-House are at long odds to stop theis seemingly certain TD
[23:32] <JoeKano-ig> looks like its risky maneuver tme agian Chunks
[23:33] <JoeKano-ig> this may come off as Kev Stuns Pushem and the ball spills
[23:33] <JoeKano-ig> Camo goes for it but goes down trying to recover it
[23:33] <chunky04> But the bounce of the ball goes Tide's way once more, as I-House is forced into a risky area to recover the ball
[23:34] <JoeKano-ig> it spills free and we is in a desperate scramble once more
[23:36] <chunky04> All that remains is for Rushem to pick up the ball and score
[23:36] <chunky04> Which he does easily!
[23:36] <JoeKano-ig> no htats Crushem taking hte Ball Home
[23:37] <JoeKano-ig> as he picks it up and runs on in
[23:37] <chunky04> With three turns and no rerolls remaining, does I-House have what it takes to force overtime?
[23:37] <JoeKano-ig> its 2-1 but plenty of time to equalise here for the I House
[23:37] <chunky04> I'm sorry Joe, all these ORcs begin to look the same to me when their names are blurry
[23:38] <chunky04> I-House are also down to 11, as Chunky and Brittus III elect to remain unconcious
[23:39] <chunky04> The Tide have cottoned onto I-House's usual bag of tricks, setting up a deep defence in preparation for a flanking jaunt from I-House
[23:41] <chunky04> and the Tide also shift their defense to block I-House, they'll really be struggling to tie this game!
[23:43] <JoeKano-ig> I house still manage to muscle through
[23:43] <JoeKano-ig> they are making a good run of it
[23:43] <chunky04> Have the Tide overcommitted to the line of scrimmage?
[23:44] <chunky04> I-House has a solid position on the top flank
[23:45] <chunky04> Tossit stuns Cannon, in what could prove to be a crucial factor in the game!
[23:45] <chunky04> As Bork manages a lucky dodge, what a reprieve for the Tide!
[23:46] <JoeKano-ig> is this anotheer sign of more elf hormones infesting our game Chunky
[23:47] <chunky04> And Kev Jr screws up the simplest of dodges, probably giving the game away to the tide!
[23:49] <chunky04> well it looks like it will come down to the death folks, the Tide failed to knock over Diltzy!
[23:49] <chunky04> Cannon clears the way for Diltzy to dodge away and score!
[23:50] <chunky04> and we're going to overtime!
[23:50] <JoeKano-ig> And were in to overtime
[23:50] <chunky04> Kano's Black Tide are set to kick off
[23:51] <chunky04> And the fans are really beginning to get upset at the lack of blood on the pitch Joe
[23:51] <JoeKano-ig> ill set up m8 then go smoke
[23:53] <chunky04> damn, you're not supposed to say that now, we're still on the air - wait, oh crap! screw all you viewers!
[23:58] <JoeKano-ig> oops
[23:58] <JoeKano-ig> uuhh
[23:58] <JoeKano-ig> Channel BB! does not endorse smoking fans
[23:59] <JoeKano-ig> looks like the Tide still have some luck there way as their fans motivate them on
[23:59] <chunky04> Yes, once again the I-House fans prove that ti doesn't matter if you outnumber the opposition if you're all complete wusses!
[00:00] <JoeKano-ig> I house will have to go in hard on this deeper defence the Tide have set up in...but is it a bit fragile..
[00:01] <JoeKano-ig> Bork holds the first drive by Kev Jr
[00:01] <JoeKano-ig> And I house recover the ball taking it deep into their own half as Ritchie swings forward......
[00:02] <chunky04> I-House play a strangely subdued offensive game this half, perhaps trying a different approach given the Tide's defensive setup
[00:04] <JoeKano-ig> And Axe is Axed
[00:04] <JoeKano-ig> but the I house doc rushes forward with Succour and soon has him brought round
[00:04] <chunky04> And the Tide finally bring the blood, as everyone's favourite punching bag/gay icon Axe goes down
[00:05] <chunky04> But the I-House plastic surgeon calls for the nail polisher, and his broken nail is promptly fixed up, so Axe stays on the pitch
[00:07] <chunky04> I-House's blitzers once again fail to make a decent impact, stalling their drive for the second consecutive turn
[00:08] <chunky04> and diltzy is smashed to the ground
[00:08] <chunky04> dropping the ball far way
[00:10] <JoeKano-ig> a stumble by Tossit could prove crucial as he is takken off the field
[00:10] <JoeKano-ig> Camo clears the ball and hurls it clear,,......
[00:10] <JoeKano-ig> Interception!!!
[00:11] <JoeKano-ig> once again Hork has the ball
[00:11] <JoeKano-ig> time and time again this Black Orc has done this this season
[00:11] <JoeKano-ig> he should have his blood screened Chunky
[00:11] <JoeKano-ig> got ot be proof of the presence of illegal elf hormone if ever I saw it!
[00:16] <chunky04> I-House has a chance to steal the ball
[00:16] <JoeKano-ig> that tey do but ittll be risky maneuver time again
[00:16] <chunky04> But do they rely on the unreliability of Axe, or the prone to hitting with Featherdusters blitzers?
[00:17] <chunky04> Axe comes through in the clutch, truly this is amazing
[00:17] <JoeKano-ig> And Axe comes through with a solid hit
[00:17] <chunky04> His fans are going...confused?
[00:18] <JoeKano-ig> And Richie is off with the ball after it is cleared by Camo
[00:18] <JoeKano-ig> he looks home and hosed
[00:18] <chunky04> And Camo II once again steps into the breach, with no intervening orcs, this time his pass is safe, and Richie III is in the clear!
[00:19] <JoeKano-ig> i thinkyou have won this one m8
[00:19] <chunky04> Is it sudden death though, it's so long since I've covered an OT game I've forgotten!
[00:20] <JoeKano-ig> guess we will find out
[00:23] <JoeKano-ig> The Tide floods back to try to catch the ball carrier
[00:23] <chunky04> Richie scores, and it seems I-House will have to hold out the Tide for a further 3 turns[00:24] <JoeKano-ig> I guess I owe you the 5 gold crowns for this one.
[00:24] <JoeKano-ig> oops
[00:24] <JoeKano-ig> Channel BB! does not endorse illegal sports gambling wither folks
[00:26] <chunky04> I-House has to be the favourite here Joe, the Tide's offence is not know for it's fast scoring prowess
[00:26] <JoeKano-ig> all too true chunky04
[00:27] <chunky04> I-House's kicker succumbs to the pressure however, barely grazing the ball, and giving a touchback to the tide!
[00:27] <chunky04> That really helped them out Joe, since they were missing their Thrower!
[00:28] <chunky04> It appears they may even go for a one turn TD with the ball in the hands of Da'udder Goon
[00:28] <chunky04> A risky play that did not pay off
[00:28] <JoeKano-ig> cor that had to hurt
[00:29] <JoeKano-ig> Da Udder Goon is stunned and the ball spills free
[00:29] <chunky04> I can't help but feel that patience and a solid drive would have paid higher dividends there Joe
[00:29] <JoeKano-ig> well yes but it wouldn't have been showy and flash enough to impress the jaded fans we have here today
[00:31] <chunky04> That's true Joe, and have a look at Camo II, who really seems to be a chip off the old block, he has to today's MVP or I'll eat zombie
[00:31] <chunky04> Unfortunately, Richie III isn't anywhere near so competent, and failed to catch the pass that would have sealed the win for I-House you'd have to thin
[00:32] <chunky04> think even, easy for me to say!
[00:33] <JoeKano-ig> The tide havn't given up yet though as they burst clear abbd try to scoop the ball
[00:33] <JoeKano-ig> but it spills free
[00:34] <chunky04> It's really going to be tough for the Tide now, but they still have the smallest of chances
[00:35] <JoeKano-ig> but alas they blow it
[00:36] <JoeKano-ig> failing to get the requisite pushes together to clear the ball and make the distance
[00:36] <JoeKano-ig> although i think htey may hve been tring for anohter Gobbo Toss there chunky04
[00:36] <chunky04> Well, thanks for covering the game with me Joe
[00:36] <chunky04> I can't help but think of this as a missed opportunity for the Tide
[00:37] <JoeKano-ig> I have ot sagree with you chunky04
[00:37] <JoeKano> they could have done so much better but lket things get to them
[00:38] <chunky04> I think they became too preoccupied with the c rowd's bloodlust at times Joe
[00:38] <JoeKano> well well be back momentarily to take your calls and hear from you the fans about tonights thriller overtime game”
