Das Hier #49

Once more human technology has disappointed meas I efforted three times to upload this drawing from my cellular only for it to not appear here, even though it showed to be published on said device.

What kind of stupid is that humans?

That's basic stuff is it not?

Needless to say I am not amused but I was able to upload the drawing above through a slightly longer process.

So yes, this is me shaking my fist at human technology in general.

Yes. I took a day off from the writing and if not for the return of Franklin, we would have recorded a day without words, which is not good for the Collective.

As it was, we had one of the worst days of writing that we have had in the decayear. And that will be the last that I speak of yesterday.

So far so good though with Nos Glorieux tonight as they have scored first and hold a one score lead on the opposing team with less than five minutes to play in the first.

Obviously a single is not enough, just two, three and four have proven to not be enough at points in this season of too much wretchedness and not nearly enough excellence.

How long before the opposing team scores though, because they will surely not be held off the board for the whole of the night.

But it won't happen this period as too little time remains for them to score now.

Yes?

Yes indeed.

Fortune favoured Nos Glorieux in the first. Though there is truth to the rest of that human saying. They were brave, or hard working if you  want to be exacting.

And now we return to play ion the second and while the next score is not crucial, it is better if Nos Glorieux earn the next score, even in the face of the sad reality that they cannot hold a lead to save their...

Season?

That is what it looks like, in spite of their elmination from qualifying for the tournament is not yet writ in the tears of their human fans.

My people do not cry.

With what little good they have managed to hold onto this long and terrible season, I should not have been surprised that one of the players who just returned from injury is injured once more.

Oh bother.

Not that he was playing to his game's best, but surely he would have rounded into form before the season ended?

Or not, since this is a season to be forgotten buried and never spoken of again

Oh what could have been a goal. At least the other team didn't reply on the missed chance.

But they, the other team is going on the advantage and that is not good as the disadvantage that they took is the worst of the worst, too many humans on the ice.

Ha!

The broadcasters were wrong and it was actually an advantage for Nos Glorieux.

Not that they scored with their advantage.

Le sigh, as a wittier human might say.

But they did finally earn another score and took a two score advantage.

Yes, cue the nigh ineviotable comeback by the other team once Nos Gloriieux earn a second score?

It's but one score so far, but there is the whole of another period to be played and one has often led to more.

Oh bother again 

What's it going to be Nos Glorieux, another disappointment or a deserved victory?

Two scores later and the answer is nigh but inevitable  that I will be an unhappy alien as the other team has earned the last two scores to take ma lead that they will not relinquish and have once again taken a game away from Nos Glorieux.

And I never feel like they are about to lose before the blasted comebacks spring up from nothingness.

There is going to be an advantage for one of the teams,another of which are well positioned to slide into a qualifying position for the tournament.

Of course it's a Nos Glorieux disadvantage.

Well, if the other team earns their fourth score, at least Nos Glorieux won't lose by a single score.

And it is now 4-2 for the other team who are making a push to qualify for the tournament.

So yes, I was wrong as they are short of the tournament by just four points.

And that's without the two they are three minutes from collecting.

They also play tomorrow and if they win, they could be just out of the final spot.

Meanwhile, Nos Glorieux continue to disappoint in the most bitter of ways as they gain to a lead and blink, i's a new game with the other team leading as two goals down is just where the other team wants to be because they'll just start scoring and take the game.

It's so disheartening.

And I thought that they were well positioned to have a great season.

Oh bother squared a keeper free score has been earned and this is the score that should have been during that first streak of wretchedness when it was 4-0 for Nos Glorieux.

Only that game was lost and here we are, with the season winding down and any hope of Nos Gloriuex qualifying for the tournament after missing the last two should  be thought to be over.

Unless they can find ten straight wins starting the vey next game as they also score 5 each game and only surrnder ten for the entire length of the streak.

Anything short of that and they have no hope.

So yes, esstially i am sauing that it is done. Their chance of qualifying is a competition between slim and none and slim is eyeing the door as they cannot put a good streak together.

And just how many of those losses that they have earned should have been victories?

Too many.

At least the Cololective's 2020 will not end so bitterly as the quest remains very much alive.

But I will not share that progress here, no I've decided that it isn't the right place.

I will bring you stories or report on Nos Glorieux.

Maybe.

It's tough to watch them take a lead when so often this season that leas has turned to ash and we felt like we feel now, just down.

And out, like i am because I can only see a third straight absence from the torunament by Nos Glorieux and I'feeling the mood to do something else other than write.

Be we ll human and if you cheer for a team, be preared for the bleak times when they can scarcely do any good for certain stretches.

This is one of those for the human team that I most like.
