Game World Cup runners up, 4th place in the 1st season of qualifying, lots of money and Simon Vukcevic in the bank, 58% Montenegrin - things worked out quite well for the brave battlers of FK Strathcarnage in the first season. However, the headline figures mask the signs of struggle to come. Certainly, the run to the GWC final was impressive, but it was very much a one off - all other cup comps were exited really very early on. And whilst they were very comfortably 4th - getting on for 20 points clear of 5th - they were pretty much the same distance from the top 2. Which puts them on target for a lower middling finish in season 2's version of qualifying. Which, in turn, emperils the primary goal of each of the qualifying seasons, which is to finish top half and qualify for the comp with the maximum rep and money the next season. So, whilst acknowledging the achievements made, there will be no laurel-resting down at the Carnage Bowl. We've a fight on our hands season 2, and it's up to us to ensure we're up to the task.
Endless turmoil, so much so that the badge is now out of date. Again. German, Dutch, now Mexican. And, knowing the meddling nature of the board at the Onions (i.e. me), there's probably no guarantee that this nationality will stick. Pretty much every knockout competition taken too literally and knocked out of as early as possible. Money thrown down the drain. But, despite all that, League Champions! A fine run of form over the last few games, coupled with stuttering form by the other challengers, saw the Onions surge through the field to take the title. Against all manner of odds, too.
(pretend computer) Football. Bloody hell.
