Rhino Meets DiodeX

In our second installment of Rhino Meets ....... I introduce my long time late night buddy Diodex


Let's get straight into this one mate ;

You have an unusual username , where does it come from ?
I work in Electronics, its the word that worked best and the X was cos someone already had Diode! fuckers. And you numpties, Its DI ODE, not DIO DE!

2. Where do you come from?
I live in a very sleepy village in Dorset, with blinding fast 12meg Fibre...

3. After 2 rounds you are in 5th position in league one, do you feel you have what it takes this season to compete for a playoff place? What position would you be happy with?
LOL, no. I figure I did ok to get a win from Burnzee and Tunners, but playing the Niwintz, Big B and Jobis will be my ultimate downfall, even your elite team will bend me over backwards. Anyone can beat me. And 7/8th is the best I can hope for.

Expansion Continues - Berty's TGC Tour Round Up

Our number on the TGC Tour continues to grow with the good news that last week Goldenbeard earned his card by completing Q-School. Dickie shot -13 which was a decent score on a tricky course to finish 164th and earn a card on CC-F. An experienced player at the golf game he only made a recent return to competitive action and will be hoping to rise through the tour.

Joe continued his fine form on CC-A and for the second week in a row he managed to eliminate one of the demotion strikes he was carrying. Joe shot -25 to finish in 96th place, just one shot good enough to clear the strike. He has one strike remaining but with the fine run he is on he will hopefully clear that this week.

Red Rhinoceros had also been showing good from recently, even coming close to a top 20 place last week but he came crashing back down to earth this week with a 127th place finish on -16 on CC-B. Still with no strikes he will be hoping to rediscover his form for both the TGC and the ongoing Ryder Cup.

Rhino Meets ....... SoggyCabbages

As part of mine and Big B's Weekly Round Up we will interview a League One member. This week is the turn of SoggyCabbages who was a great sport ;

1. Where does the name SoggyCabbages come from ?

7 or 8 years ago I had one of those rubbish Xbox-generated gamertags (OpenedAutumn58). So I sat down to think of new names and whilst dunking a biscuit in my tea I had an epiphany - SoggyBiscuits. Fortunately that was taken, because a young me didn't take into account any sexual connotations of that phrase. So I thought "what else is Soggy that I've eaten recently?" And the answer to that was Cabbages. Hence 'SoggyCabbages'.

2. Which opponent in Season 25 are you looking forward to playing and why ?

Has to be niwintz. I've played him dozens of times in friendlies and in league matches and have only ever managed to take a result from him a couple of times. I used to constantly lose 3/4 to nil but recent games have been closer. I feel this season I'll finally manage to tame the Wintz.

League One Round Up - Week 1

Niwintz and Dangermouse ran riot in League 1 - both managers felt they had something to prove after disappointing campaigns in season 24 and they started with a bang.



The transfer admin from Northern Ireland was obviously still smarting after the play off defeat to Red Rhinoceros as he smashed last season’s struggler Wizzfox by 13 goals to 0 over the two games.The first game was 0-0 at half time but Niwintz simply turned on the turbos and didn’t look back. Kluivert and Kamano did the damage with 5 goals each !

Olympique de Marseille into the Top Flight

A shock in the french nation as after one season with Monaco, guiding them to the top flight, he leaves and switches to rivals Marseille. Many thought he'd give them a year and build on promotion to stay in the Premiership, but this was not to be.

We managed to get 5mins of Wells's time as he was busy on the training ground preparing for his opening fixtures agains Burga Boii's Dortmund.

Reporter: So, after one season you leave Monaco. What are you reasonings?
Wells: It was a fantastic season, beyond our expectations, but a move to Marseille was too good to turn down.

Reporter: You got them promoted, wasn't that enough to let you stay and continue?
Wells: We (Monaco) made the play-offs, and though the final was abandoned due to political reasons, we were confident of victory. Ultimately I saw Marseille as a bigger challenge.

Fantasy Premiership - Aaronc333 gives us his view

New season. New faces. New franchise for balonga13, FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today marks the start of the new season here on AbsoluteGaming. The race to be crowned Premiership champions is looking like it could be one of the best the site has ever seen. During my 9 years on AG, I don't think I've ever seen a league as strong as this one, not like back in the day when the leagues were small and deareststorm had a place at the top table, by default. Looking at the names on the league table, it's impossible to say, "yep, I'll pick up some points there". So, if you could afford me 5/10 mins of your time, I'll have a run through of who's who in the Premiership.
