Official Match Thread S18; R13: Baghdad Bandits vs Mt Buller Demons at Abdu Prison

[iBeng]

We still have those yellow snow cones. Care for one?

Nah, got terrible reflux last time I had one of those.

Why do you have a hobo in your avatar? Is he interested in fighting my hobo?

As you can see he needs all the practice he can get.

Sorry my hobo is unavailable at the moment. I can however let your hobo have fisticuffs with my back-up hobo.

 

[Logger]

Eth what has happened to you? Now you're like me...

 

[iBeng]

Hey boncer34 do your job and pin this match, it should be MOTR.

Predicted Winner: Bandits

 

[iBeng]

So what you're saying Dannyz is that we will win.

Smashing

Um. Bump?

 

[Eth]

Um. Bump?

Hey! I wanted this to drop to the second page so I could call Gee Dub a s**t captain for failing to inspire his first-placed Bandits and bag boncer34 for forgetting to sticky this.

Good one...

Im proud of my efforts.

 

[cooney]

Oh cooney, you so...Puny.

Like, small. And insignificant in our glorious finals bound charge.

Also: #BanditsGonnaBandit

No I am not, you will see how big I really am and how us Demons are going to charge towards the finals.

#DemonsgonnaDemon

Act like what?

Like a fool.

Ha, got it Pinned. Baghdads: 1, Bullers 0.

Seriously though, where IS everyone?

 

[Gee Dub]

Seriously though, where IS everyone?

I'm still looking for Taylor Swift. She sure is elusive. Could teach Shermanator a thing or two.

Busy dragging you into the unnatural environment of posting less than 25 times a day.

So, how you feeling?

(Sidenote: I won't answer your answer)

Poor guy is going to go crazy if you don't feed him something.

(Sidenote: I won't answer your answer)

Well I will answer your question because I respect my opponents. Im feeling fine. Ive actually reduced my posting somewhat this season. But when I see a match only on page 2 when others are 5+ I get concerned that the other team have forgotten there was even a match on this week.

We had a bye last week against the Roys, we were hoping you'd actually ignite a fight or something.

My apologies for being mistaken.

 

[Shermanator]

Im proud of my efforts.

You've been how do you say unstoppable?...

 

[Shermanator]

I'm still looking for Taylor Swift. She sure is elusive. Could teach Shermanator a thing or two.

I give her a swifty no doubt about that

He's looking forward to getting up to second gear this weekend to beat your mob.
Pretty confident we won't need third..

But you guys seem to love your thirds. You guys blew round three against us. You've blown three games in a row against us. Bengwatkins only averages three goals a game against us. And you yourself post in threes.

And you're all destined to lose by about 300 points this week.

Damn, I wish I hadn't thought up five. But hey, three paras...

Shhh, Beng, learn to embrace the starvation. One goal against us last time, less posts than average and less goals again this time...it's only natural.

(Yes, I said I wouldn't respond, I'm not that cruel. I'll ease you in)

3=300, maths brought to you by Eth this week!

Ive already stated that I have a hoodoo when it comes to Logger, its apparent that he has some dirty tricks capable of restricting me to my usual average of 4.5 this year. I have every intention of that changing this match however. I have been reviewing tapes, checking his strategy and body positioning. You should also take into account that we have a pronged attack that has won us the last 7 games. Les Norton Shermanator and Don Draper are sending rockets through the big sticks quite reguarly.

Are you flirting with me or attempting to banter? Or both? Should I be wearing protection for this? Or is this your first time?

So many questions so little time for answers. The answers I do have will be delivered on the day, as I have paid off your coach to move Logger to the bench within 2 minutes of the opening bounce.

Fine. Guess how much we're gonna beat you by? Three. Points.

It just doesn't have the wow factor.

And for the record, I'm trying to confuse you. I gave Richard Cranium a free snow cone to use your cash to buy a megaphone and scream insults at you in Pig Latin all game. We moved the bench to the backline two games ago so you'll hear it loud and clear.

Boom bam bop. Bada bop boomp. Pow.
