You're right, I think the good Dougie Imrie, rather than piss poor one that came on my disc, would be the perfect foil for Wayne Rooney in my Rel Madrid team

In my third season with County came 7th in the SPL in my maiden season. Alex Williams bangs them in for fun as does a boy Carlos from my under 19s.

A realistically good Imrie would have solved many of my problems with Clyde

RE: video , will look into that

are you that graeme carle dude in it then? cause him and crooks are the only good U19's for county in it.

Crooks is murder I free transferred him. Yeah that's me.

f**k! It never saved

Got Clyde promoted to the SPL with a 3-1 away win over Hamilton! yay!

Me too

I did read about the bug of players going out of contract when they refuse an extension/improved offer - cant remember if it was raised in v7 or v7.0.1 .

I just started a new game with Falkirk and it released Latapy when he rejected a new year contract. Raging.

Being fixed in a mini-patch - or patchette. I believe, next week.

I hope they fix the huge appearance fee bug as well... having to spend half an hour at the start of a game signing my players on new contracts (thus running the risk of them leaving) only so Falkirk don't lose over £11,000 a game paying 11 players £1000+ each week is a pain in the a*rse

I started a new game with QOS with the patch and that problem has gone ... kind of. Looking at some of the other clubs in the same div, they still have players with appearance bonuses up to twice their weekly wage. I've raised it on the SI forum but have had no reply

Use this ingame editor to fix it

Anyhoo:

Third Season ended in Second Place, a whopping 17 points behind a Morton team that I beat 3 times.

Had Alloa in the Semi, wasn't confident having lost all 4 league games to them but lo and behold I won 3-0 at The Wreck before losing 2-0 at home.

Had Ross Cty in the final and managed a 2-0 win at Dingwall. Still 2-0 up on aggregate with 25 minutes to go of the second leg when it all went tits up.

Dean Keenan was sent off for a 2nd bookable just as I was preparing to Sub my booked players.

Then in the aftermath Paul Lovering stuck the head on Alex Williams and was also sent off. Threw on my three subs and went 4-4-0, didn't work and Ross Cty scored twice.

2 minutes into extra time Paul Lunan broke a leg and I had to play 28 minutes with 8 men. Alex Williams scored the winning goal with 17 seconds left. ARSE!!!!!!!

Have free transfered 12 players to get my wage bill down and brought in 6 frees from SPL teams. Aiming to build a young squad over the next two seasons.

The new patch is now available to download.

has been for 2 weeks

Been clicking the check for updates thingy for days to, didn't work until today.

Um, no it hasn't! One, yes.

Have finally succumbed and ordered the game. Expecting it through the post today or tomorrow.

So, to save me trawling thru 100s of posts on this subject, can you all be please succintly sum up the new features and anything else I need to know before I go into hibernation not to talk to anyone again til around February 27. Thank you

Ive got a file to unzip with all the english stadium pictures. Anyone know the route I take to find the folder where I unzip it?

Sorry if this has already been done, but there are 80 pages here now.

Where about can I download the latest patch?

Cheers.

Seriously!? Who've you signed!!? Winning the league with clyde is an impossibility in your first season.

As proof... I went into the editor and turned miller into.... well the best manager in the game all his relevant stats at 20 (not playing just managerial) his mental stats as well (loyalty etc..) Started a game unemployed... went on holiday for the season and when the I came back from holiday, Clyde Were Sitting Top...... of division 2. They had been relegated.

Avoiding relegation would be a bloody good aim.

Winning the league, You Cannot! Unless you cheat.

I knocked off West Ham in the UEFA Cup, the following Sunday i drew 0-0 with Celtic, and made over £300,000 IN GATE RECEIPTS ALONE! I got 450k for reaching the Group stage as well.

I'm 7 points clear at the top of the SPL too, I think this may be our year

Started my second season with Shire in a good manner, in the 2nd division. Lost 1-0 away at Hamilton, and I should have got a point at least from it. Then it was a 2-0 home win over Cowden, then a 3-0 away win over Forfar, who injured 4 of my players, had 2 men sent off and nine cautioned. Beat 1st division Brechin 3-1 away in the League Cup, and got SPL Partick Thistle in the next round, which I unluckily lost 3-2. Got put out of the Challenge Cup by QOS 2-1, they scored in the last minute. Sitting 2nd in the table

I've brought in Raymond Jellema, Steven Anderson, Willie Dyer, Scott Leitch, Damon Gray(loan from Hibs), Steven Masterton, Ruari MacLennan, Matthew Berkeley, Graeme Churchill, Andy Ferguson & John Fleck(loan from Rangers)

Squad

GK's: Paul Jarvie, Raymond Jellema

Defenders: Steven Anderson, Ruariadh Caulfield, Paul Rudden, Stuart Ferguson, Romauld Bouadji, William Dyer, Damon Gray

Midfielders: Darren Sheridan, Scott Leitch, Steven Masterton, Robbie Arthur, Richard Walker, Grant Smith, Ruari MacLennan

Forwards: Michael Graham, Andy Ferguson, John Fleck, Graeme Churchill, Matthew Berkeley

Reserves: Stephen Oates, Stephen Adam, Andy Brand, Andy Smith, Paul Stewart, Derek Ure

Neil McGregor is awesome

He is that, If you download FM Genie, a tool (like FM scout) which allows you to see there potential abilities..... He is Immense, As good as players like e.g. mcmanus at celtic (better even!) better than berra... etc.. Immmense...

We're talking 17 for heading tackling and marking, 12 passing for a centre half, all his technical attributes 10+ eccelling 15+ in all the mayjor defensive ones i.e. the mentioned three... his decisions, his anticipation; quality in a word....

In reality his potential is Massive also, already being the finest centre half in this league by some way!

By the way, Download the 7.0.1. patch, for perhaps the finest keeper in the division, David Hutton
It includes him in it and he's not longer randomly generated (his abilitys, not his person)

Actually..... If you do decide to download the genie (i'll find a link) use it and look at the Immense Potential of our players

Stephen O'Donnell & Neil McGregor & Bryson Especially, They're SPL quality absoloutely no bother!!!!! well they probably already are sorry, but at there full potential they're scintillating.

The level of technical ability which they are capable of is quite outstanding!

Others that look really good potentially.... David Scott (who is already immense in it from day! kept me in the league!!!) chris and craig at the back wind up with Immense defensive quality, Malone McGowan And McHale all also become truly talented.

Get the link up then!

Is it just me who can't get the patch to download?

i got it working when i downloaded it 2 weeks ago

FM Genie download

I signed Paul McHale for my Partick side for a mere 8 grand and he is SPL class already (i'm two seasons in) need to wait until January for him to pull on the Red and Yellow of Thistle tho

that hing is the baws

Happened to me millions of times on firefox before I eventually got it working from clicking check for updates on my main game and downloaded it from there.

There's been an update to the patch released 2 weeks ago, best to use a mirror rather than from SI direct.

I got it to download earlier, from Rapidshare.

With the inclusion of Marvin and Armand Oné, as well as a load of our loan signings, it makes being Raith boss much easier. I'm up to the quarter-finals of the challenge cup, and I've won every game except a draw at home to Brechin, and an extra-time loss to St Johnstone in the aforementioned Quarters.

Im just installing the game know.I've never had a football manager before so this is my first one.

I have a problem with it already It is installed but everytime i try to get a new game going it says Football managers memory is to low and it has to quit How do i get it to work.

Check the RAM on your computer to the requirements on the box

11 games to go in season 3, 1 point behind Dundee in the race for promotion from division 2, 11 points clear of 3rd, so total 2-horse race.

I've been riddled with injuries, don't know whether this is down to changing training schedules from general (where they've been for the last 2 seasons) to specific or not, but it's definitely hindered me. William Stanger, whom i've got on loan from les Huns, has missed all but about 7 games so far with 3 separate 2 month injuries.

Had a transfer budget for the first time this year, paid £5k for Robert Sloan and another £5k for Kevin Dickov from Stenny, then another £40k in January for David Templeton. High potential, but 0 goals in 5 games, then....injured, quelle surprise.

That is because Football Manager 2007 doesn't run on Windows 95 state of the art Clydebank machines for some reason.

I bought Football Manager 2007 for Xbox 360, however can only get to the main screen. It wont let me go to the start game or load game icons. I feel that this is due to just a faulty game, however before I send it back could it be because I've only got the basic xbox system with a memory card?

Thanks in advance

the reason for this is that you dont have a hard drive for your 360 which is needed to run the game

Dont you worry yer self casper rose.I got it to work and im now ready to take the footballing world by storm with Millwall

Anyone know where to get the normal size badges for the SFL clubs?

Where did you get the update of this patch ?

They give you laptops if your on the brew now? The best way to try and get FM running on your home machine would be uninstalling a few unused programmes and only run FM when your playing it. I had your same problem on my old PC with FM 06 and it seemed to work when I did the above.

This thread

Have a look on there, and download it from one of the mirrors mentioned there. The SI servers were really slow the other night. If your game status says Version 7.0.1 92685, then you've already got the latest and uptodate version.
