MWPP nicely posted. Dragged out the suspense but didn't plumb the depths of a certain Phil other match thread poster who shall remain nameless.

Commiserations to the Old Boys. Although your histroy almost suggests it, you can't win it every year. Still, you've got a good set of troops and will be making waves again in no time.

 

[Tigerturbulance]

Least we were competitive this week and certainly fixed up our scoring compared to the last few weeks, a lot of good things there to take into next season

thanks for the week Gumbies and good luck with your finals campaign

great job posting the match MWPP, even if I didnt like the ending

As our season is over Old Boys I will be holding our BOOB (Best Ophidian Old Boy) Night on Tuesday at 6.30PM, hope you can all attend.

I guess we Old Boys will just have to be happy winning the Premiership every second season,
so make sure you win this one as S39 is ours

It's been a fun week OOBs, genuinely one of the most fun threads I've had the pleasure of posting in this season - and this evening's match lived up to what came before, and went right down to the wire

Enjoy your Mad Monday, Wacky Wednesday or Forever Friday at the pub

Looking forward the rematch next season and the antics that'll arise


Thanks for posting MWPP - kept us all on the edge of our seats until the very end


And Gumbies, let's start prep for next week - rehab at the pub, apparently beer can be quite good as a part of ones post exercise routine

4 : 24.3 {CHF} - Tigerturbulance chooses the safe option in rushing it through.
Gumbies FFC : 17.7.109
Ophidian Old Boys : 16.9.105
4 : 24.38 {FB} - The ball is now with JuddgementDay.
4 : 24.43 {FB} - JuddgementDay takes a bounce and nearly fumbles it.
4 : 24.47 {lHBF} - He rewards the U2tigers lead.
4 : 24.51 {lHBF} - Delicious kick to U2tigers.
4 : 24.57 {lHBF} - Now U2tigers has the ball. What can he do with it?.
=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4
Gumbies FFC : 17.7.109
Ophidian Old Boys : 16.9.105

Match Over!

damn, If only I got foot to ball, I would have nailed it from 150 out.

 

[GWS Goose]

Great to nab a finals win and hand the oobs their first ever finals loss.

*second.
They've only lost two finals, both to us. It's such a quirky stat but I'm here for every inch of it.

 

[philreich]

What, kids?

Car journeys are generally much nicer without them.

Research has shown that kids in the back seat cause accidents, and accidents in the back seat cause kids.

 

[philreich]

Thats my FAVOURITE sim line!!

Mine is "both ruckmen are fooled by a rare decent bounce."

Mate if I was posting it, we wouldn't have finished the second quarter by now.

 

[BRAB]

Don’t worry everyone we’ll get them next week

 

[philreich]

Based on that performance, I confidently predict that the Old Boys will remain undefeated until at least February.

 

[Dory_77]

Great job Gumbies! Thanks MWPP Generated some stress but great posting

 

[beez]

I told you we'd be dancing on Sunday.

 

[Brick Loosener]

Crestfallen. I should have nailed that second shot on goal.

If it makes you feel better if i hadn't of kicked a goal you would have won.

 

[ossie_21]

Whoever kicked the last 2 goals of the game for the Gumbies should never have to buy their own beer again!
