Norsca Union League

In'deir second match o'da season The Orks faced off against da migh'y Da'k elfs of Ledder an' Blood.

Da leddery ones sta'ted on'da offense an' pressed 'ard down da left flank wi' The Orks tryin'ta pressure'em eider into scorin' or losin' da ball. Da pale skin'd Elfs fought 'ard an'valiantly playin' da clock down, bu'eventually on turn 7 dey were forced'ta score wi'da risk o'losin' da ball growin' ev'ry second az The Orks kept closin'in on'da ball carria.
The Orks 'ad 2 turns to go'an' score'da eekvalizer an'it seemd' az Nuffle 'imself was callin' da play from'da sidelines az The Orks fi'st secured'a strong cage position thru'da middle an'den just az'da clock was runnin' down dey broke thru'da defense line an' rush'd da match tyin' touchdown. 1-1 at 'alf time.

It was The Orks' turn'ta attack in'da second 'alf an' dere was no'urry. Even though dere were no playas missin' from'da Da'k Elfs line up afta'da first 'alf, The Orks put enuff pressur to advance thru'da middle wi'a strong cage. And even though da ball wasn't protected propa'like at some point, failin'at critical points  kept'da Da'k Elfs from claimin'da ball. At'da end of'da 'alf da ball carryin' blitza Hebyr 'Filthy Fangs' mad'a 'eroic dash fo'it, thinkin'e was in'da clea' an'out of reach from anyone. But like lightnin' from'a clea'sky, out of'da blue a Da'k Elf runna dodged away from'da orcs markin'im an' 'eroically blitzd' Hebyr against all oddz. Da ball bounced off'da pitch an'in to'da reach of a Da'k Elf lino 'oo picked it up in an attemp'ta throw it down da pitch ta save da draw fo'da Da'k Elfs.
But Nuffle 'ad a dif'rent script fo'da endin of'da match az Sokur 'Weakling', one o' The Orks' blitzas intacepted'da pass, an' wi'just moments ta spare ran'da ball in fo'da winnin' touhdown.

2-1 fo' The Orks just at da last moment!

In a pos'match intaview Sokur 'Weakling' said 'e didn't unda'stand 'e catched'da ball at fi'st, bu'den 'e 'eard som'un yell: "Run Forrest, run!" an'e did just that.

The Orks 'ave wun da champin'ship!

Afta' a tite an'defensiv' match against da Unalived The Orks win 1-0. Scorin' on'deir defensiv' turn The Orks didn't 'ave'ta press too'ard ta score on'da second'alf an'dey focused on markin' da ball an'keeping it out'of reach from da three potential ball carria's for da stiffs. Nuffle showed everyone dat green is'is favorit color as da stiffs went from mis'ap ta mis'ap thruout da match.

Da 'eadcoach of The Orks 'ad stolen a few sacks o'gold somewhere an'ired da infamous Morg N' Throrg ta bring fea' into'da lifeless 'earts of'da stiffs, an' Morg didn't fail. 'E swung'is tree trunk-like arms left an' right sendin' da stiffs playa's flyin' thru'da air, usually landin' off'da pitch.

Da stiffs went on'da attack first an' got a strong start wen'dey CAS'd one of'da linemen of The Orks immediatly afta'da kick off. Lookin' fo'da quik goa'ead goal dey stormed down deir right flank sendin' several scorin'threats downfield. Tauntin' an' teasin' wi'da scorin' threats downfield dey managed to move a cage almost to scorin'range. By now The Orks 'ad rearranged deir ranks an' regrouped fo'da defense, CAS'ing two players off'da field an' slowin'da cage to a 'alt forcing a ball carria' blitz leavin'im exposed fo'a counta' blitz. At dis moment The Orks closed in on'da stiffs an' blitzed da ball carria' down markin'da fallen ball wi'a coupla playa's. Da stiffs cleard'da two players away from'da ball an' deir ball carria' jumped up as quickly as if'e 'ad neva'been prone at all an' scooped da ball an' mad'a run for'it towards The Orks' en'zone down deir left flank. Dey tried'ta run a coupla playa's downfield to protect da ball carria' but only one of'em made it while da other one was tackled down while dodging. The Orks reacted quickly an' swarmed da ball carria' blitzin'im down an' some'ow Vurak 'Eat dead', da Big'Un blocker, managed'ta catch da ball in da midst of all da confusion. Da stiffs tried desperately ta run more playa's ta aid da goal scora' ghoul but Vurak didn't let go of da ball even when 'e was shoved against'da sideline. Den disaster struck! Da stiffs' goal scora' ghoul mad'a desperate blitz ta push Vurak into da crowd, succeedin' ta do so. But da crowd 'ad decided dat da stiffs wouldn't score an' threw'da ball all'da way to da left side of'da pitch where dere were only two orcs as all undead players 'ad put pressure on the otha side of'da pitch. Da rest of The Orks marked all da stiffs while Ghorghor 'Blood for Blood' picked up da ball an' ran down deir left flank unopposed. Da rest of'da 'alf was spent wi'da players bashin' each other tryin' to gain an advantage fo'da second 'alf, and den finally Ghorghor scored wha' would turn out to be da champin'ship goal.

Da second 'alf saw The Orks on'da attack wi'a 1-0 lead from da first 'alf. Dey sta'ted advancin' down deir left flank, an' afta' a succesful blitz on one of'da mummy's dey attempted to foul'im out of'da match. Unfortunately da referee saw da foul an' sent da orc lineman off. Dat turned da tide a bit fo'da stiffs an'dey succeeded in removin' anotha playa of The Orks off'da pitch. At dis point The Orks were forced to turn back an' attempt to swing to deir right flank as the left flank 'ad been completely shut down. Da situation looked promisin' for The Orks but da stiffs managed'ta set up an uncertain defense an' stopped The Orks from breakin' away. Da defense of'da stiffs 'eld until da end an'dey succeeded in preventin' The Orks from scorin' more goals. Unfortunately for dem as dey couldn't score an equaliza' demselves The Orks won da match, an' da NUL champin'ship for Season 52, 1-0.

In a post-match interview with the head coach of The Orks, Atte had this to say:
"We won! We won! We're gonna get Ghorghor golden cleets as a reward for'dis! I always say 'The Orks 'it 'ard, The Orks win.' Now all see it's true! VIOLENCE AND BLOODSHED!
The interview was cut short as The Orks took their head coach and threw him in a huge barrel of Bugman's Best. He's now been beneath the surface for five minutes and the surface has gone down 10 inches, maybe he can drink his way out of this after all. Or die a happy orc...

The Orks have joined Season 53.

The Orks will return for NUL season 53.

The Orks go thru to'da finalz!!!

Da Gloomies started on'da offense but The Orks forced'em to score early in'da 'alf. Wid plenty o'time on'da clock The Orks managed to tie da game before 'alf time.

Da second 'alf started bad fo' The Orks as da Gloomies blitzed da ball on'da kick-off scoring a quick lead once again. Now The Orks started chargin' down'da pitch to equalize, but were forced to score da equalizer wid time left on'da clock as da Gloomies got in range to blitz da ball carrier on'da next turn.

Now da match waz tied an' az The Orks kickt da ball to da Gloomies, dey managed to blitz da ball an' grab it wid a chance to win da match before ova'time. Da Gloomies 'ad to turn back an' run fast to defend da tie, but Nuffle decided to inta'fere in'da form of an untied bootlace causin'a failed rush in'da kritical moment. The Orks den ran'da ball to'da en'zone just before da whissle blew da'end of'da match, makin' it 3-2 for The Orks.

In'a post-match inta'view wid da 'ead coach of The Orks 'e said: "Da team scored mor'goals dan casualties! Itz a weird feelin', some'ow un-natural. orcs're ment'to maim opponents, no'to score goals. Da 'hole world'z goin'down da crappa!".

Hey Mr B.

Monday @20.00 CEST sounds good to me, see you then.

Thank you Memo, it was fun until the end.

Congratulations on a deserved victory.

P.S. I too wonder about the point of using the forum anymore, is there a reason for it? Discord offers us better and easier ways of communicating and posting reports.

Good evening Saitani.

When would you like to play our match? I'm available most evenings during weekdays 17-20 CET. Let me know what would be a good time for you and we'll work something out.

In the cold dark night of spring two powerhouses collided against one another as The Orks took on The Shunned.

The traditional Orc scout report states the following:
The Orks went'on da offens after winnin'da coin toss an' started to make deir way to da end zone. The Orks 'ad only two Big'Uns an' were ova'powered by da Shunned who 'ad three 'uge monstas on da pitch an' dey was terryfyin'! One woulda been bad but three was just 'orrible.
The Orks managed'ta stomp one of da'uge beasts off da pitch an' took control of da right flank early on forcin' da Shunned to'urry back to try an' prevent dem from advancin'. After some violent scrappin' da Shunned linemen failed some blocks which allowed The Orks to swing to da left flank an' break through to score da goal, 1-0 for The Orks!
Afta' The Orks kicked da ball to da Shunned, dey tried to do a sneeky gobbo toss play by da troll but ran out of time before dey got da ball to da gobbo an' so da first 'alf ended 1-0.

The Orks started da second 'alf with only 10 playas against 11 of da Shunned but levelled da playin' field immediately by nockin' out one of da'uge ones. Da Shunned tried'ta break through first from da left, den from da right, an'den from da left again.
Den disasta'struck for The Orks! Big'Un Aklan 'Bad Penny' tripped on 'is own feet durin' a block an' left a gap for'da Shunned to run thru'da left flank! The Orks tried desperately to catch da lineman Lord Fredde but wid'no effect: Da Shunned scored an'tied the game, 1-1. Wi'alf of da secon'alf to go The Orks got lucky az da Shunned kicked da ball ouda bounds an' The Orks got a touch back. So The Orks made a mad dash down da right flank tryin' desperately to score da winnin' goal, but az Sokur 'Weakling' tried'ta make a break for it da Shunned orc Zabutom managed to trip'im an'da ball was dropped to'da ground. Den right at da very end The Orks 'ad one last shot at scoring da winning goal after da Ogre Techno Viking fo'got wat 'e was suppose'da do and fo'got to mark Hebyr 'Filthy Fangs' who was now home free. Afta some succesful blocks to free up playas da Gobbo Skarsnik 'The elusive' failed to pick up da ball an' 'and it ova' to Hebyr an' before dey'ad a chance to try again da ref whistled for full time.

In a post match interview with The Orks' head coach he spoke of the match:
"We'ad a good match, but like da famous orc band 'Da Black Eyed Beast' once sang: Where is the blood, the blood, the blood...?"



Thank you for the match Gnaar, I had fun and I hope you did too.

Like we agreed with Gnaarkill in Discord already, Thursday @ 20 CET.

One of the most brutal and bloodiest matches of this round was played tonight as The Orks faced off against their scary bigger cousins, the Black Orcs.

The traditional Orc scout report states the following:
"The Orks 'ad to go out in a freezin' blizzard to play against dem 'uge Black'orcs. Da field was frozen an' no'one dared'ta run proper fast az dey 'ad to watch deir steps. Dem Black'orcs 'ad a bleedin' troll wi'dem, 'e was 'UGE!

The Orks kicked'da ball to dem Black'orcs first and stood strong in da line to 'old 'em off. Da BLack'orcs slammed against da green wall wi'all deir mite allowin' da quik blitzers to blitz da gits 'round da sides an' get da ball. After a promisin' ski'mish an' desperate chasin' by da gits The Orks scored at da 'end of da 'alf making da score 1-0.

At da start of da second 'alf The Orks were down four players, playin' wid' eight players against almost a full BLack'orc team. Da weader was still a freezin' blizzard when da Black'orcs kicked da ball to da oder side of da field. Now it was The Orks' turn to slam against da 'uge, foul smellin' blak an' green wall but dey almost didn't feel the pushes an' shoves of their little, distant cousins.

Den out of no'were da git Skarsnik of The Orks dashed to da line wi'da ball an' chucked it to the blitzer Dvorak who made a dash up da left flank. Wi'da assistance of 'is team mates' screenin' and markin' only two gits got through to blitz Dvorak down an' claim da ball but were quikly forced'ta giv'it up az dey were unda'powered against two blitzers. Az da gits desperately tried'ta pick up da ball an' run away wi'it dey accidentally bounced it right'in to da arms of Dvorak once again. Wid'a bit of violence The Orks were once again on da go towards da goal.

Wid' no more threats to da ball Dvorak 'ad time to just wait at da goal line an' walk da goal in just before da final whistle: 2-0 for The Orks."



In a post match interview with The Orks' head coach he spoke of the brutal match:
"A great match, lot of violence an' bloodshed! Da price of winnin' was great too az we now 'ave only two Big'Uns for'da next match. But great match, very great. Lot of violence! And bloodshed!"




Papa Jaiseri, thank you for a great match. It was just as fun as it was brutal.
Best of luck in the future.

The Orks nearly got mangled by da stiffs in what was suppos'da be an interesting match. In da first 'alf The Orks defended againsta da stiffs wid'an elf screen tactic of five screens of two playas across da field and nearly 'eld it together until da very end when a dirty ghoul runna broke free from da side to score when The Orks forgot to put da fifth screen in position leaving da flank wide'open.

In da second'alf The Orks went on the offense tryin' to equalize da match by runnin' da ball up da laft flank, but da stiffs 'eld them fast to da sideline and blitzed da ball carrier causin' da ball to bounce off da pitch and da audience threw it back in to the other side of da field, where a sneaky ghoul runna picked it up. The Orks got three players on da ghoul tryin'to knock it down but da slippery bastard wouldn't go down. Instead 'e dodged away from The Orks playas many times and ran towards the other end but eventually 'e got tripped and The Orks picked da ball up an' ran it in to equalize in the last moments of da match.

Final score 1-1.

The Orks's star blitzer Sokur 'Weakling' said in a post match interview:
"Coach Atte said to stay put on defense and wait for da stiffs to make mistake. We didn't undastand why, but Coach Atte said 'ed bite all our big toes off if we didn't do what 'e said. Coach Atte is very, very scary so we did wat 'e said.
Then on the last turn da stiffs got da goal. An' now Dushra 'The madman' only 'as nine toes. 'Es a scary man..."

How does your schedule look like regarding our match? At the moment I've got every night available in the coming week and after that I'm on holiday for the next week but I'm not going anywhere so I can play pretty much anytime.

Let me know what suits you and we'll set a date.

Hi, sorry man! Completely forgot to reply to this. If you can play tomorrow (Thursday) that would be great, should be free from 19 CET onwards

If not, most evenings next week would work for me from about 18 CET I think. Friday and the weekend is probably difficult.

Sounds great, we'll aim for 19 CET tonight.

When shall we kill some Orks?

Well, it was a busy weekend and so will be the next one as you know that both of us will be enjoying some Pineapple tabletop Blood Bowl. But I'm free for some online Blood Bowling during the week from Tuesday to Thursday. Start time between 18 to 21 Finnish time would be preferable so let me know if any of those days suit you, sir.

How about tomorrow @ 20.00 EET (local time)? Stream + audio (Finnish) in Discord?
