Edie's Ratters Return Home Disappointed

Edie City, SH (TST) – The Edie City Ratters returned home last night after the team was eliminated in the opening rounds of the IDU Football Tournament in Groot Gouda, after a controversial opening game marred by unexplained scoring disputes. The Ratters then lost their remaining two games in the opening round, and were eliminated after Wednesday’s games.

Angry fans have been returned to the schnauzerlands, especially the Ratters’ home city, loudly complaining about the “horrific” scoring disputes in the opening game. Notwithstanding the media reports in both Adam Island and the schnauzervolk nations concerning the outcome of the first match, the official results were flip-flopped. There have been numerous requests from attendees who were returning to Edie City asking the schnauzervolk league officials to investigate the situation. (Since the teams are privately owned and operated, the matter does not come under government jurisdiction.)

According to the Schnauzervolk League commissioner, "we will have to be convinced that the officiating will meet generally accepted standards of objectivity, neutrality, and skill before we will participate in future tournaments."
