[GreyCrow]

Well fuuuu

Guess we are strategising then

[Broken]

I was worried at 3/4 time that our half time beers had cost us the game, but that 4th quarter effort...

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Matera92 it’s time to bury Coach Walken again. Benched in the 3rd 5pts up and only brought back on in the 4th nearly 3 goals down. Come back to win the game. The bench is for scrubs like Smartys Power

 

[GreyCrow]

Broken not broken

Well done

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Broken with clutch last quarter goals.
Our push to finals glory is still on!

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Yesssssssss Bears what a dynamite win!
Broken you have unmitigated access to my minibar tonight, and with a game like that it's up to you whether or not that's a euphemism.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

3 : 24.06 {rW} - But here comes JoshWoodenSpoon.
3 : 24.1 {lW} - Not enough pressure on JoshWoodenSpoon.
3 : 24.14 {lW} - How far can you run son. He's gone.

4 : .1 {lW} - JoshWoodenSpoon with a moment to look downfield.
4 : .13 {lW} - How far can you run son. He's gone.

Well clearly I don't know, dad.

Never in doubt. (except for when we were losing)

Yeah, at times like that I'm glad we're the best at qooty.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

3 : 25 {C} - Big tap from Doctor Gero.
3 : .1 {rW} - Matera92 dances around Footypie32.
3 : .13 {rW} - Ohhr you can't shove 'em in the back like that.
3 : .18 {lW} - So Footypie32 ... with a moment to digest his options.

Matera92 the Qootball pioneer. PITB whilst in possession. Genius!
