My injury situation is actually shocking, for the last 5 months on the game, I've had between 6 and 8 injuries. My squad is 23 players! My keeper just strained his back and my creative midfielder broke his arm.

Unbelievable! ohmy.gif

FFS!!! 18 year old second choice keeper joins the first choice in the injury room! 8 injuries now, all of them are at least 2 weeks recovery!!

Broke my own record, now 9 players out. They've given me two "greyed out" players to cover. A goalie, and a left winger - I've got 2 natural left wingers, and a left back who plays left wing still fit!!!

I can't download the kits. I've downloaded them as RAR files. Is that right? If not, what should I do?

Can anyone beat this? Seven away matches in a row!

Im having unbelievable luck with injuries aswell, there was a point where i had 5 players out, which doesnt sound like much, but all 5 of them had broken legs!!

is there anyone who has all the kits in scotland?

if so, do you fancy sending them to me? even when sortitoutsi works, i cant download them, so would be much appreciated

Started a new game with Falkirk, doing not bad.

Got Carcary on loan from the Huns - he's pish

Took a boy called Jamie Jackson on loan from Chesterfield - pish.

Star performers so far for me are higgins ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif Liam Craig, Cregg, and Pedro before he took a bad knock. Barrett jsut about to come back.

Sitting 6th after nine games, went the first 8 undefeated, with a 2-0 win over Le Huns into the bargain, before Celtic cuffed me 4-0 after Liam was sent off for punchin Veenegoor after two minutes biggrin.gif

Mark Howard refuses to return mad.gif

What team talks prior to the game have people chosen? I've used mainly good luck, or do it for the fans, but using the pressure's off against "big" teams works not too badly too. It certainly worked against Rangers! tongue.gif

Do not sell Liam Craig on the cheap, I just got a coll £1M for him and O'Donnell just slots into his place in midfield. Got rid of all my debts in the one go. cool.gif

Signed a left midfielder, Andersson for £2K, a season later he is worth £150K. Right side isn't looking as good though. Currently trying to negotiate with Norwich for a decent 20 year old right sided attacking midfielder.

Apart from that, I have stayed with the young lads, now in November 2008, I am sitting third in the league, four points clear off Celtic.

Even John Stewart can be good every now and again. ohmy.gif

After winning the 2nd division championship, I am now 6th half-way through the second season in the 1st.

I started off quite poorly but ended strongly, losing once in 7 games I think.

The Real Saints
So how do you get the logos and kits onto the game once you've downloaded them?
Kylesons
extract them with winrar

the prodigal returns, Darryl Duffy and Mark Howard both rejoin Falkirk in the January transfer window, along with Stokes for another 6 months.

Became a feeder club to Aston Villa - and managed to secure a freindly, despite it not being in the terms (TIP - PARENT CLUBS ARE MORE LIKELY TO ACCEPT FREINDLY OFFERS, EVEN IF NOT SPECIFIED) bringing a crisp 80K - The 4-0 humping didn't really matter

Started poorly in the league - took a 4-1 humping off Dundee who had finished 9th last year ohmy.gif sad.gif I then dropped half the team and lost to Airdrie 1-0 (80th minute sickener sad.gif ), went out to newly relegated Motherwell in the Challenge Cup with a last minute goal sad.gif - realised my defence was weak, brought in Twaddle on loan and this happened

Craig Sives got injured before I had the chance to play him though - so he will strengthen the defence further, as will Clark McKay cool.gif

Fudge
The editor in mine seems to be fucked. When i change someting and start a game with it(normally just the potential capacity of a stadium) the game runs smoothly, but when i save, and go back a day or two later it says it cannot load the saved game.

However when i play a game without making any chnages to the editor, then the game runs finre after numerous saves. Any ideas?
Mushroom
Ya dancer the ICT win - has spurred my players on to a 4 match unbeaten run (10pts from 12). Only losing 3 to the Huns, and Young player, player and manager of the month.

Sives and McKay have not had an oppertunity in the first team yet -the others are too damn good!

3rd season with Aberdeen, and Theo Walcott is a legend. On loan from Parent club Arsenal, and after finishing 8th and 10th in the last 2 seasons, Theo has almost singlehandedly got my whole team playing better. Currently sitting in 2nd after 12 games having beaten rangers twice, home AND away.

His contract is up at the end of the year....

Whats your starting XI?

Started season 2 pretty well, after finishing 7th in my first season.

The Duffy deal fell through as I couldn't afford the fee - but I took Samuel back instead.

Swapped Gow + £20k for Carcary from Le Huns, and bought William Stanger from Le Huns for £3k. He's a superstar. Sammy si not bad either.

Sold Padge Cregg for £500,000 to Hearts, and brought Mark Howard back from Cardiff. Also got Dean Shiels on loan from Hibs, and punted John Stewart for £20k to Leyton Orient.

My squad's a tad big now, players are getting restless. But I'm 4th after 8 games. The old 4-3-1-2 formation is working a treat. First X1

-----------------------------------Howard-------------------------------------
Barr-------------Dodd----------------------------Milne----------------------Twaddle

----------------------Lima-----------O'Donnell------------Craig

-----------------------------Moutinho------------------------

--------------Samuel---------------------Stanger


Subs: Higgins,Arfield,Tiago,Carcary,Shiels,Latapy, Barrett

Into the League Cup Semi now, and beat Celtic 4-1 in the league. Sammy is a fuckin revelation, but has done his knee ligaments and is out for two months sad.gif

3rd in the league now, after 12 matches. Come on! biggrin.gif

Has anyone had an extreme change in form during the course of a season for no apparent reason?

after 10 games, i sat in 3rd in the second division, joint on points with Stirling with only one defeat and i had enjoyed a few moments being top aswell. But then i incredibly went on a run of 11 games without a single win! (including an absolute 7-1 humping from ayr) I hadnt lost any key players to injury or suspension and my star strikers who had been scoring for fun and had 16 between them after 10 games stopped scoring! I hadnt done anything to affect my players morale and now after thinking i could win this league, im facing relegation blink.gif

in all my years of FM and CM, i've never experienced such a fall from grace!

Yes, for me it's when my strikers both go 10+ hours without scoring. Apprently the AI adapts to you and starts going really defensive against you. Happened to me this season, luckily my early form was such i only dropped to 5th, where I'm now a bit stuck, but Walcott has started scoring again. Celtic knocked me out of both cups (semi and QF) and a cockup after a cup game gave me a 6-0 hiding at Parkhead, stoopid sub keeper. My GD is a bit knackered after that, so am not likly to climb higher.

Have beaten rangers the 2 times i've played them this season, and seeing how i was tipped for relegation, it's looking like a good season. Just need walcott and my star GK on loan from Everton Stubhaug again for next season smile.gif

Use the "I expect a performance from you" team talk individually, interspersed with, "I have faith in your ability" until they start scoring again wink.gif

It changes very frequently- If the teams won I try not to change it - although I did get 3 guys sent off v Livingston - they also had a guy sent off (so it finished 10 v 8 ohmy.gif) then another 2 in the next 2 games. Only had one red card before that game dry.gif

As it stands

Fraser Stewart
Michael McGowan - Craig Sives - Stephen O'Donnell - Marc Twaddle
Steven Masterton
Craig Bryson - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Grant Smith
Michael Graham
Markus Paatelianen - Andy Ferguson

[left]Chris Higgins, Craig McKeown and Craig Reid are nibbling on the fringes on the team, nibbling for McKeown and Twaddles places.

David Scott and Jon Smith are both try to get stewart out of the GK position as well.

Neil McGregor sold for 30K to Kilmarnock - had already been dropped for McGowan laugh.gif
