<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">Well with week 2 run and done and week 3 with an early start SC is hectic with the General making an apperance, the ommisions of rookies, kermit and blood vests aplenty and lots of bandaids to boot. With the Ashes match up at 4/3 going into the weekend we had 6 local derbys and 3 Ashes games on offer..........
<!--more-->
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 1st of FF derbys we seen Schlock V Yani.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">Yani knew it wasnt good when Schlock handed him a gimp ball as lockout approached !!!. To make matters worse for the Yanster it was used as Schlocks 2059 palacked Yanis 1864. Yani making more changes than a drunk blue chips trader but still spinning the wheels unable to get traction. Yani haunted by the evil laugh of the Schlocky !!.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 2nd of the warm bitter drinking affairs ( If it was meant to be drank warm it would be served in mugs) Brogie V Edbull.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> Brogies 2082 come home against Edbulls 1969. Edbull a bitter bitter man as a result !!. Brogie not giving a toss Northener style. Edbull not only suffered the loss but a hangover to try and forget the loss !!, Vowels to take revenge. Revenge a word a Northener is comfortable with.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 3rd of the rising damp derbys Viddle took on ATX.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> Viddle shot 2013 to ATXs 2011 !!!!. ATX (The sneaky shyt) with a late charge just missed. Viddle with a heart attack watching it. Watch out Viddle word is ATX has touched down in the good old US of A  so  my tip would be to visit friends interstate as ATX doesnt take defeat easily !!!.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 1st of the Land of sunshine derbys seen Eleviathan V Nedflanders.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> Both nutted by the injury pineapple during the week and both deciding to conserve trades. Ele winning 2025 V 1969. was an important game for Ele after a rough start Ned not to dissapointed and preping for the oncoming week. Both villians were the players not on the dirt !.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 2nd of the lucky country derbys seen Walesy V Supercoachsuperstar.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">Walesy 2178 being rewarded for constant high scores with a win over SCSS. 2154 . SCSS a bit unlucky as mid 2100s generally got the biz done over the weekend but Walesy was on the wrong end of one the previous week so hes feeling hit by the karma gods. SCSS been around plenty long enough to realise it does happen.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 3rd of the land of plenty derbys seen JB taking on Sainter .
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> JB with the usual solid gig shot 2101 V Sainters 2005. Both improved from previous weeks so both happy with the game taking into account the injuries had by both.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 1st of the Ashes games we had TSs Fez take on FFs Bones.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> Bones shot an honest 2060 but not good enough against the mighty Fezs 2070 . Just when Bones looked to have the game the mighty Fez pulled out the sword and slayed a main attery of Bones to get the points. Fez a hard man to beat. Bones "On the piss" for a night to wonder what might have been.  TS 1/0
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the second of the Ashes games TSs Crossy  took on FFs Slarty.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> The Blue Ranga that is Slarty was pumped to get some runs on the board and shot 1960 but no cigar as Crossy just asked the man in a kilt to step aside as he shot 2067 to take a comfortable win. Slarty feeling violated..................Slarty WAS violated !!.   TS 2/0
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the last of the Ashes games seen TSs UA up against the FFs Mancdave.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> UA with 2313 (118th overall for the round !!) tore poor old Mancdave a new one with Mancdave scoring 1994. Mancdave feeling like somebody kneed him in the aggets. I know this as I played UA in another league and suffered a similar fate !!. TS 3/0
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">Which makes the count so far on Ashes games  7/3  TSs way
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">TS ladder: 1,4,5,7,8,10,11,13,16
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> FF ladder: 2,3,6,9,12,14,15,17,18

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In a meat eating derby Crossy V Sainter.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">Both have not had the start to the season they wished and looking to win this game to bolster their seasons. Word on the street is Longmires in hiding after Mummy was another late withdraw !!. Crossy trolling the streets of Kingscross to find some info to Longys where a bouts and Longys laying low, quieter than a mouses fart. Hot tip Crossy, just cause a lap dancer is wearing a red &amp; white string doesnt mean shell know where the big Longy is, mind you no harm in finding out what she does "Know". After the barrarge of injuries last week Sainters teacher has ASKED !! for an assignment on Supercoach injury replacements !!??. Rumor is a certain teachers cash league team has tumbled and a certain teacher needs for the points bleeding to end!!. I belive that the first part is "Cashing in"Sandilands > Luenburger and Pendlebury > L Ball !!!.   LOL  He may be young but hes still a bitter runt is our Sainter . Tipping Crossy in this one as Sainter still fixing his team some.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the Derby of the lucky country UA V Walesy .
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> This game will be a high scoring affair as both these teams up and about and in the top four of the league points wise !!. If Walesy played anyone else hed start favorite but UA is not the team you want to play anytime soon. This game could very well be decided at the selection table Friday as if either one doesnt go in at full strength then it could very well be curtains !. Neither wants to play the other at full strength but one may just have too. Match of the day in Derbys.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the cold summer Derby its Bones V Viddle .
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> With both hungry for a win and with 17 points difference in last week scores it promises to be close !!. These two have clashed manys the time over the years and both know itll be no prisoners when the ball is bounced. Viddle in the US being mentored by a swarmi to get mind,  moves and research as one . Bones with a whisky and pint chaser has a more traditional way to wait for ideas to come. Either way wont be sorted till the last game of the weekend !!. Tipping Viddle by a bees slug.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the other of the Unwashed derbys Mancdave V ATX.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">ATXs preseason form was poor but has been there &amp; there about since head to head has started so positions on the ladder a little deciving and it wont be as easy as it looks on paper. The big mad Dave has spilt blood at the trades centre this week and is primed to get in a position to make a run for the pointy end of the ladder but got a feeling the ghost that is ATX might just spoil the party . Just a gut feeling thats all. Dave hoping that gut feeling is heartburn ?. Time will tell.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the first of the Ashes games TSs JB V FFs Brogie.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> Brogies been in fine form and ticking all the boxes but that means squadoosh once lockout comes. These are the games that JB just has a happy knack of picking up along the way. If I was a betting man (And I am) Id have my hard earned on JB here as Ive seen it many times in "Toos" . Brogie an intimidating Northener but it means nothing to JB as he just gets on with the biz. Imagine this game to be "well close".
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 2nd Ashes game its TSs Supercoachsuperstar V FFs Edbull.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px"> SCSS took a harsh beat this week and Edbull will suffer as a result !!. SCSS has been solid and will not be about to lose this game. Edbull will put a fight up make no mistake but hell take more hits than a London Cab as SCSS goes about a in boxing terms a "first round KO". Edbull a passenger in this one. My tip Ed just ready the team for the following week mate.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 3rd Ashes game TSs Eleviathan V FFs Yani.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">Well Ive been thinking of how I could help Yani out seeing as due to circumstances beyond his control his team went SNAFU prior to lockout .............With the fact that your up against Ele this week Yani I can only recomend is that you dip that gimp ball in honey !!!..........................Least it will taste sweet as bad bad things happen as the big Ele is back in town. Ele starting to turn his team into a power house over coming weeks to be a feared opponent once again. Tipping Ele at a canter.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the 4th Ashes game its TSs Fez V FFs Schlock.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">These two teams are about as close as you can get on average. Both undefeated and both wise heads. Fez is a young gun with an wise old head for SC. Schlock is an old gun with an wise old head for SC .Schlock about as hard as they get and as cold as charity no doubt will fancy his chances here of picking up a win. Hot tip with young Fez on board at best Schlock your a flip here. 50 /50 Not a game you want one of your players to cop a vest because it could very well be the difference between hero or zero !!!!. Match of the round here in the Ashes
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">In the last of the Ashes games TSs Nedflanders V FFs Slarty.
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">The kilted blue ranga that is Slarty hasnt had the best start to be honest but I dont think even he was ready for Ned to sledge him on his home turf !!! LOL
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px">Ned "<img src="http://www.fanfooty.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/zzzz.gif" alt=":sleep:" /> Prepared to tank last week, as playing a TS derby. Have Slarty in my sights this week tho. <img src="http://www.fanfooty.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/spank2.gif" alt=":spank:" />"
Rough, LMAO. Rangas are noted for there temper hmmmmmmmmm ????. Neds got the game to back it up too but if Slarty was to use two trades then this might be the week lol. Picking Ned at a canter.
