Official Match Thread Round 8 - Gumbies Vs. Swamprats @ House of Gumby

Frankston Rover · Apr 22, 2007

Vs.

One of the HUGE games this week, with both teams on 4 wins.

The Gumbies have been out of sorts lately, with late team submissions and poor form hurting their chances last week. If they can recapture their form from earlier in the year, then they are sure to be hard to beat in this one. Given they beat the Swampies to win the Preseason Cup, the Gumby faithful will accept nothing less than a victory.

The Swamprats are another team that have been inconsistant over the last few weeks. A close win over the Roys, where they got out of jail with the last kick of the match, proves that this team is struggling for form. That said, the Swampies talents are well known and surely it's only a matter of time before this side puts it all together. Will this be the week?

Teams to be in before 9pm Thursday, AEST.

Posting a team on time might help-reckon the sim holds grudges against those that don't lads.

Lets go gumbies, so Metallica_Man or portentous, can one of you place in the team sheet this week?? i am spending Anzac day in Jersualem and i dont think i will be in the condition to put in a winning team. I will be ready to go come game time.

No one especially those stinking rats beat us on our home turf.

What time does the bar open at the ground or do we have to bring our own eskies for 6am training runs..............

The bar is always open at the house of gumby. You will find our star Billy Brownless there having a couple of settlers.

I predict a big win by the Swampies this week. :thumbsu:

After the game there'll be a great deal of yelling coming from the Gumbies dressing room. We'll be hearing cries of:-

"Shut up Mr Gumby"

"My brain hurts, my brain hurts"

and

"I've got my head stuck in a cupboard....I can't see anything".

Might have to come across a day or 2 early to get used to the conditions (bar conditions of course.......

)

The most appropriate game this week should have been Gumbies vs Wonders

cats2rise · Apr 23, 2007

granty, metallica and porty are all captains for the year. Between yourself, have fun, be safe and post the teams!

grantyc77 · Apr 24, 2007

The bar's always open at Gumbyland DK, hence I joined the club!

Hey you number cruncher, lets see if you know how to subtract the Gumbies score from the Swampies score and come up with the correct winning margin for the Rats from Alberton.

dreamkillers · Apr 25, 2007

Now lets just hope the beer is cold as some southern pubs/club's don't know what an icy cold beer is............

Time for the swampies to start showing some consistency on the field as we're certainly fine in the off field stakes.........

cats2rise · Apr 25, 2007

Dont forget about that team lads.

I think the Rats will win by minus 17 points Toots. Can you figure that out mate or shall I simplify my maths for you?

That'd be right, typical Gumbies.

Overcomplicating things just like your gameplan. The Swamprats will smash you on the scoreboard while you're fiddling, worrying about the negatives.

let wipe the floor with the gummie bears

portentous being a traitor and all...(as if a port supporter plays AGAINST us)
your going down!
