I need a good striker and can score me goals anyone help with this and the guy

p.s im st mirren if it makes it any easier
Casper Rose
St.Mirren have a good strike force and I think you shouldn't be looking for new strikers. But Bryan Prunty would be a good addition if you are looking for a striker, scored 20 goals in 20 games in my Airdrie game then Aberdeen payed me 400k to take him on loan ohmy.gif and after the season finished I flogged him for £1 mill

Need help for Football Manager. When i load my game footy manager minimizes and it says "save game could not load" anyone know how I could fix this problem.

I continued My stirling game and it all went pearshaped. Was 5th after 18 or so games so resigned(i couldnt take them any further) and got the job at bottom of the 1st division Queens biggrin.gif they were 7 points behind when i took over and i got them relegated sad.gif (just) I did get a new deal though and have a good squad

I'm on some decent form with Moor Green, pushing for the play-offs at around the half way point in my League 2 season.

In the 2nd Round of the FA Cup, and i'm hoping to make it through and get a money spinner in the Third.

I'm losing serious cash, about 70k a month, sometimes more.

The board won't expand the stadium because we don't have enough money, and we don't have enough money because the board won't expand the stadium! sad.gif

League Cup 1st Round

Albion Rovers 0 - 2 Brechin (Gibson, Carrigan)

Currently waiting to hear from Bartosz Tarachulski about a possible move. Probably going to be too expensive, but hopefully I can entice him to sign on. That would allow me to move on Paul Ritchie who, at 36, is of no great use to me.

Make sure you add Ryan Thomson and Graeme Holmes to your squad, you could earn a tidy sum if they produce the form they have done in my last 3 FM games wink.gif


I did look at Ryan Thomson but he'd already agreed a deal at Queens Park. Holmes rejected a trial to sign for Gravesend.

This probably happened because you never exited the game and turned it off instead. You have to exit your game then turn it off. If you dont it cant process, save all the data

You won't be able to load that game again.

If you have autosave on, look for the save game *Gamename*_V2 or V3, and that'll take you back to the last autosave.

I am right up the league now, and i'm unbeaten in about 9 games. Sitting 4th, 4 points behind the leaders.

Into the 3rd Round of the FA Cup, drawn against Grimsby, who are low down in League 1.

I signed a young Finnish boy, for nothing, because I needed cover at right back, and he was only on £90 a week. He just arrived, and his value is 950k ohmy.gif

That's not the only reason for games being corrupted.

However, once a save game has been corrupted, there's no way to restore it.

Just started a game as Plaza Colonia in Uruguay huh.gif

Loaded all of South America as well as Mexico so we'll see how it goes.

Started the season excellently winning 4-1 and 3-0 but last two games have seen 4-0 defeats, one away to Penerol.

It is quite fun however as you really dont know anything about the teams or the players, even the league seems to be a bit weird with an opening and a closing stage wink.gif

Finances will be a severe problem I feel however with our average attendence less than Clydes ph34r.gif with only Penerol and Nacional getting decent crowds.

Looks a good challenge tho thumbup2.gif thumbup2.gif

Lost interest in my Moor Green game so I will be taking over at Airdrie soon in a new game wink.gif . Oh and does anyone else get Sandy Stewart getting sacked then Richard Gough taking over? It happens all the time in my games.
Peterhead Dave
Hmm. I started a new game as Chelsea this evening, just to see what it's like having money at the start. I've built a hell of a team:

Goalkeepers: Cech and Gordon

Defenders: Ferreira, Johnson, Maicon, Bridge, Gallas, Carvalho, Huth, Terry, Del Horno

Midfielders: Essien, Borowski, Cole, Robben, Sneijder, Wright-Phillips, Duff, Messi, Lampard

Strikers: Gudjohnsen, Bojinov, Podolski, Drogba

Podolski and Bojinov both scored hat-tricks on their league debuts (different games), and I've just had my entire back four in the team of the week! ohmy.gif

Pity I couldn't get Ronaldinho, Gerrard and Rooney though sad.gif

Stranraer 1 - 1 Brechin (Walker, pen)

Failed to beat Stranraer, despite Chris Higgins being dismissed after 22 minutes. Scott Walker was a revelation up front, collecting the man of the match award.

Rejected bids from Dunfermline, St Mirren and Falkirk for top scorer Steven Hampshire, who signed a contract extension to 2007.

Bartosz Tarachulski rejected the offer of a pretty lucrative contract, much to my disappointment. Also rejecting loan moves to Glebe Park were Chris Templeman and Kjartan Finbogason.

Slightly more encouraging was the news that Bangor's Barry Holland had agreed a two-year deal with us. Cowdenbeath's Liam Buchanan joined on trial for a week, with the view to a permanent move and Bobby Linn appears to be on the verge of becoming our biggest purchase of the close season. biggrin.gif

We dont need a report on every game oooonnnnaaayyyyy tongue.gif

Anyway i have took Queens to 3rd after 10 or so games 6 points behind the leaders sad.gif Been a stop start season so far. Am in the Challenge cup final though after beating St Johnstone away in the semi 1-0 AET with Daryl Murphy scoring the winner biggrin.gif The final is against Motherwell. I got knocked out off the 2nd round of the CIS cup.

I just won my 5th trophy in almost 5 seasons with Moor Green! Beat Bradford City in Extra Time in the LDV Vans Trophy. I dominated the game and hit the post in the last minute, so probably deserved the win!

I might win the league, but it'll be tough just now. I should definitely make the play-offs though. I've recently secured the signatures of John Hartson, Dado Prso and Shunsuke Nakamura, who arrive in a couple of months.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Once again, I did things the hard way. Won the league on the last day, from 3rd place. With a game to go, I had 76 points, MK Dongs had 77 and Colchester had 78. We were all playing pretty shite teams. Also, myself and Colchester had the same GD.

Despite going behind early on, I managed a comfortable win against Dag & Red, then I gave my team talk and returned to the match page, with no idea what the other 2 scores were.

MK Dons 0 - 0 York --- meaning I was guarenteed second place...

Notts County 2 - 1 Colchester --- 86th minute winner means I win the league, by a point!
Casper Rose
Started a new game with St.Mirren, Broadfoot demanded a move away so I sold him for 750k, the wage bill is high as f**k ohmy.gif . I am delerious though as I got Finnbogason (sp) and Graham Weir on loan for a season biggrin.gif .

Only played 2 games so far, a 3-1 defeat away to Ross County in the league and a 3-0 victory against them in the cup smile.gif
Twynholm
I finished my season joint on points with Clyde yet finished 1 goal behind them which meant i finished 3rd. I was only 5 points behind champions Morton. In the play off semis

Queens 0-4 Clyde mad.gif dry.gif blink.gif
Clyde 0-2 Queens sad.gif

So i was out. Highlights off season were making a challenge cup final(got beat in it) Making scottish cup semis and my 20 match unbeaten run biggrin.gif

On Jan 29th(last day off window) i got the following offers(in brackets) for the following valued players,

Templeman- 10k(1.3m rising to 1.7)
Proctor- 20k(1m) blink.gif ohmy.gif huh.gif

So my balance is 3.2m smile.gif

Bring on next season whatever club i am at

Harrogate Town are top of the Championship and have just lifted the League Cup with a 121st minute win over Chelsea biggrin.gif

My revamped League One squad contains such big names as:

John Hartson
Dado Prso
Marvin Andrews
Claude Makalele
Shunsuke Nakamura

All for the pricely sum of "f**k all".

Since joining the club, 1873 days ago, I have "bought" 64 players, and sold 15.

Total value of players bought: £275k
Total value of players sold: £3.8M

Almost half of my players bought money was spent on a guy who turned out to be shite, and hardly played for me, before I released him. He is now in Macclesfield Reserves.

Killie Crazy
After an apprenticeship with FM 2006 on the 360 going clubs like Man Utd, Arsenal, Juve, Real Madrid etc etc me and my hun mate decided to go for broke, we went our clubs. At the start my aim was to take killie to the top half and his was to win the league.

Rangers have won the league with 1 game till the split after his signings of bojinov, vitti and a cpl of others. The bold Killie meanwhile are 2nd, after signing Djorkeaff, Kalenga, John Sutton, with 2 cup semi final defeats as well-one to M'Well and another to Gretna huh.gif , 6 points clear of the tims who had a shocking start following signings like Scot McDonald, Scott Brown etc etc. Unfortunaltly for me though Celtic were 6th and 12 behind me over a month ago and the media were predicting a Strachan sacking. Me and my mate decided to add to the pressure by saying we didnt like him and now his players are fired up and on a hefty winning run.

Rangers also made the last 16 of CL after coming through a group with Lyon Man Utd and Udinese, the went out to Juventus-no bad though.

Will finish season tonight hope to take Killie to CL will update tomorrow.

The default location for saved games is in the "Documents & settings" folder. I cant remember the exact path and Im on my work laptop at the mo, so I cant check!

Anyway, once you've found the files simply burn onto a cd, then save into the same folder on your laptop wink.gif

If someone hasnt already by tonight, I'll post the full path when I get home.

Got my laptop today and took me about an hour to transfer all the logos, game data etc. Game is now well quick

Anyway continued my game with Queens and come July it was announced i was going FT. Therefore loads off good players wanted to join me. Signed lots of them and am 7 points clear after 7 games even though i have lost 1 game sad.gif I also made the CIS cup 2nd round before Livi knocked me out and got knocked out in the challenge cup 2nd round by Motherwell. Should go up this season.

CM 03/04 was the daddy for this, you could put loads of pictures of hot chicks in the one folder and the game would cycle through them randomly.

Nowadays you've got to assign a different picture to each screen which means you've got to tinker with its configuration files.

Try looking on the graphics part of the forums section on The Dugout for info on how to do this. Be warned though, it's very tricky. Why they couldn't have kept it the same as 03/04 I don't know :'(

I've been sacked in April by Ayr United. sad.gif
I managed to find a gem of a winger in Danny Ongumado and made good signings like Craig Nelson but it was a case of too little too late. They replaced me with Derek Whyte and were relegated.
I'm now at Queen Of The South and managed to avoid relegation with them with a 3-2 win over St Mirren.
