Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 01: Gold City Royals v Roys FFC at The Golden Throne

[Gralin]

Welcome to a new season of qooty. The Sweet FA is back with the first round of the thirty eighth season!

Before we get into it lets quickly recap Season 37

When the siren sounded to end the Grand Final the Ophidian Old Boys won their second flag in just their fourth season in the league. OOBs rookie and EKA winner myblueroan also took home the Deestroy medal to go along with an All-SFA selection to cap off a fantastic first season.

pantskyle the all time league leader in MM votes won a second Mobbenfuhrer Medal with a mammoth 22 votes but was strangely overlooked for All-SFA selection

Brenton Davy won their first Fred Medal and got their first All-SFA finishing the season with 84 goals

Falconista went back to back in the Frankston Rover award, an amazing achievement, but wasn't done there also winning the Beez with 1510 votes

JoshWoodenSpoon won the TFLUA-Tiger award

The spoon was "won" by the Bombers despite both the Furies and Hawks receiving penalty points.

But now its Season 38 and the slate is wiped clean, every team starts with an equal chance of victory and every player with an equal shot at accolades

Hi Mobbs

Hi Roys

 

[Mobbs]

Hi everybody. As you none know, I've been sick for like 4 weeks and I am now here to contaminate all of you with more than just unbridled enthusiasm.

Season 38 is shaping up to be a season with a number. You can count on it. Or it. At least it.

 

[GreyCrow]

cough


thanx

Also rip to one of my favourite ever comic entities, Bob Newhart who died a few days back. Most of the inspiration for my stupid posts comes from either him or the Goon Show. I remember a day in the mid-eighties when I browsed Total Music in the mall and found a cassette tape with 8 of his most iconic conversations. To this day I still sometimes find myself blurting out "you set fire to it Wal?"

A great comic over the ages. Sad to lose him.

Is it the new Bird flu or new covid?

 

[Brenton Davy]

Greetings teammates new and old! Hello too the Roys. Been looking forward to this one. Time for some payback

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Let's do this Roys !

So happy SFA is back. A nice percentage booster to start the season.

 

[Mobbs]

Is it the new Bird flu or new covid?

Literally just some kind of chest infection. Done 3 rat tests over the last 3 weeks just in case but i seem to be just shit at being healthy.

Sounds like a case of "the regular flu"*

*more deadly than Covid

 

[Mr Cheese]

Thank you Cadsky - I'm ready to chew gum and kick ass, and I'm all outta gum!

Pretty much.
