Stayed up two seasons running. Basic 4-4-2 seemed to do the trick for me

Any notable transfers? Loans?

I'm playing online with a mate, he's managing Clydebank. I just laughed out loud when he signed a player named Juan Carrio from Motherwell on loan, shows how mature i am...

In my 1st season with raith they finished 3rd and qualified for Uefa Cup.

Started a network game with my brother, he's Reading and I'm Sheffield United, signed a good few players....Hleb's wee brother, Matt Jansen, that korean freebie at the start to name a few. As I post he is drawing 0-0 with Liverpool, he's 17th and I'm 18th.

Doing a season with Dundee right now, sitting 6th after 24 games. 15 clear of the drop zone and 14 behind 1st which is Hamilton, who are jammy as f**k, as I was beating them twice in the last ten minutes and they came back to win and draw both times the latter they came back to win and had 10 men.

Started a wee war with Owen Coyle who I then told I tactically outclassed him after my 2-1 win over him just there, up ye ya dirty Airdrie faggot.

In the network game i was playing, i started out as manager of Stirling, I got the Myanmar job (how i do not know) did shit, resigned took the North Korea job and resigned from that too, resigned from my striling post to take a break whislt my mate soldiered on. Gerry McCabe was sacked as Dumbarton manager, took the job and won promotion via the playoffs, what a year!

Try giving out new contracts

They don't ask for high appearance fees normally in the game.

Came back to my Clyde game, newly relegated, brought in Ross Chisolm, an ageing Steven Pressley (2010 remember) and Garry Teirney.

Judging by my first 2 competitive fixture (2-0 v Dunfermline in the league and 2-0 v Alloa in the cup) this division is my bitch

I would settle for that at the end of this season

My new, shiny copy of this game arrived in the post today (£20 for a split new sealed copy from E-Bay, only ordered on Thursday!!), so I will post my progress as the game goes on. Started at the Albion, and already had four loan bids rejected

In the first season, I pretty much kept the same squad that we have. Sutton, Kean and Corcoran worked well in various partnerships, and McGinty actually did me a turn occasionally. In the second season, I brought in a few free transfers (Gavin Rae being the most notable one, and signed Martin Woods after letting Sutton (I think) go for 250k.

I'm playing a game right now with Morton and i have a feeling I am going to coast it!

Don't you just love percentage of next sale clauses

Av won 8 straight games in the league with Morton, best result of the season was a 4-0 win at Airdrie in the Challenge Cup, I signed 3 players from Clyde too because i had a transfer kitty of over 80 grans following a couple of sales

Won my last 5 games to stay up!

Splashed the cash big style in the summer including Lennon, Gavin Rae, Mikoliunas, Nish, Jari Litmanen ( ), McGregor, Grant Murray, Bryson from Clyde, Gary Dempsey, Darren O'Dea etc etc

Offset by the loss of Sutton, Bullock, McGowne, Potter, Baird etc etc

Sitting 5th right now with Dundee right now with 43 points from 28 games. This my most recent result.

[attachmentid=13264]

9 straight wins in the league, its getting lonely up there

I got this for crimbo off my sister, very disappionted with it, I much prefer championship manager, I'm now going to flog it on ebay and with the funds buy championship manager instead

You're just weird.

I started a game as Albion, and had a grand total of ONE shot on target in my first five games (three friendlies, and a league & cup game). This seemed somewhat 'bug-esque' to me, as although I've never been particuarly brilliant at the game, I generally know how to pick a half decent side.

So, I quit the game, installed the patch, and started a new game as Sunderland in the Championship.

1st league game - Sheff Wed (a) - Lost 0-2, shots on target - NIL.

Is it just me??

No sadly it isnt just you, 97/98 has been looked out

Having one of those spells where I've went right off FM just now.

Well, I beat Barnsley 4-3 in my 3rd league game, so all is well again

That said, having just purchased Pro Evo 6, Just Cause, Saints Row, and the new Splinter Cell game today , all for the 360, FM may take a back seat for a while.......

I have pro evo 6 for the pc just need to get a bloody pc joypad so I can play it

It's kinda disappointing for the 360, there's no 'edit team' option. A major oversight.

Went back to FM this afternoon, and beat Rotherham 6-0 in the League Cup, with big Dunc scoring his first for the Mackems since I signed him on a free from Everton.

It's beginning to come together.

Help:
right my cousins over and we want to start a game ad i thought we could start a network game over my laptop and my desktop which is connected to the same router. are you able to do this ?

Yes it's possible

I would have replied earlier but this is the first of me getting power again

I thought i'd give myself a bit of a challenge so i edited the database and moved Rangers to the Third Division and removed their star players. I'm currently top having won all my league games. I did lose to Airdrie in the 3rd round of the Challenge Cup at Ibrox, other than that its been rosy

I got one started by useing the same disc after days trying to make one up
my game loaded itself without the disc in when it got to the main menu then put it on the other computer and copyed the other patch over and install game on computer and it connected straight away when i went into network

That's what I do when I want to play a game over my network in my house.

Got three computers in the house so I can have network games but refuse to pay for three copies of the game

i thought you couldnt take the disc out but i was not sure so i tryed it and was sucessful was given Liverpool random and Shakey T was given Chelsea luckey c**t i still beat him 3-0 in the FA community shield and above him in the league 3 games in he got 80 or 90 mill and i got 6 mill which is utter shite but i still brought in great bargins

like??

remind me tomorrow to tell you its these hard to spell names

Go to transfers - transfers in and find out the spellings then

Kris Boyd-675k
Michal Svec-475k
Thomas Necid-300k
Dusan Svento-675k
Eddie Johnson-1.3mill
Christian Schwegler-110k
Marek Suchy-475k
Maciej Zurawski-3.4mill
Anthony Stokes-1.4 mill ( not due to come till 1.1.2007)

Most are on loan and doing really well
Zurawski is really good
I let Peter Crouch out on loan for 1.3 mill
the rest went out for free (total 19 players went out for free on loan)

Im starting a network game so if anyone is interested just say in the thread i started in it
its PC btw

Try reading the question

I asked if you'd been through the editor and changed all the other clubs players contracts. If not then all you've done is create a game where you're finances are ok but the rest of the leagues are screwed. Sorry, but I just dont see the point in playing like that.

im currently trying to join a network game and i have the latest patch 7.0.1 92685
but im getting this :Click to view attachment

They obviously don't have the same patch as you, to play a network game you need to be running on the same versions and the person who is hosting the network game might have chose to play with the 7.0 version and not the update.

i thought that and they have 7.0 but how i make my game go back to 7.0

Well, you can host the server and when it gives you choices of what versions to run, choose 7.0 .

In my game, I'm West Ham, halfway through the season, going through a shite run just now and I'm 10th at the moment. I sold Dean Ashton and Mascherano (He was a little fucker! But Corinthians got 80% of the sell on fee ) for £10 million each to Man U and Valencia. I have now realised the importance of quality training and have now assigned my coaches to what they are best at coaching at. I'm also making regimes up for youth players and now have a habit of signing 14/15 year olds to develop them into players for the future, so far I've signed around 10 14/15 year olds and get them tutored by the first team. They are 3rd in the Under 18's league. I'm also about to play Valencia in the knockout phase of the UEFA cup after topping my group.

Or get them to patch it. Why anyone would CHOOSE to run 7.0 now the patch is out boggles me. It still not great, but it a whole lot less buggy!

They have all updated to 7.0.1

Started a game as Aberdeen manager and signed Craig Beattie and Mike McGlinchey on loan from Celtic. Played 12 games with 5 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats and I am currently on a 6 game unbeaten run which means I am in the CIS Cup Quarter Finals and sitting 5th in the league, 3 points behind league leaders Rangers. 2 behind second placed Inverness, third placed Dundee United and fourth placed Hearts.

My most recent result was my best, a 5-0 win over Falkirk at Pittodrie. Lee Miller scored a double so did Gary Dempsey with Beattie grabbing the other goal.

Where are Celtic?

I've actually seen Rangers win the league more often than not when playing the game which surprises me considering how good a squad Celtic have in real life compared to them

Celtic were sitting in 6th at the time of the post but have now put together a 4 or 5 game winning streak to put them into third. The leagues tight as f**k.

Since the last post I have played 5 games and they've went like this:

CIS Cup Quarter Final - Aberdeen 4 - 1 Hibs (Miller 2, Beattie, Dempsey)
Scottish Premier - Aberdeen 2 - 2 Hearts (Miller, McGlinchey)
Scottish Premier - Rangers 2 - 2 Aberdeen (Beattie 2)
Scottish Premier - Motherwell 3 - 0 Aberdeen
Scottish Premier - Dunfermline 0 - 3 Aberdeen (Smith, Nicholson, Beattie)

I sit 4th in the league now with it really tight:

1st - Dundee United (33pts)
2nd - Rangers (30pts)
3rd - Celtic (29pts)
4th - Aberdeen (28pts)
5th - Inverness (26pts)
6th - Hearts (26pts)

With the January window approaching i've agreed a pre contract with Dunfermline's Gary Mason and signed free agents Duncan Ferguson and Dario Silva because McGlinchey and Beattie are due to leave within 5 days back to Celtic Park.

I fail to se how thats a challenge?

i thought the youth team was shite...oh how wrong i was

Dargoals !

i nicknamed him that after he scored 39 in 50 for my SPL winning Jags side

Morton have one of the worst disaplinary records I've ever seen, went them for laughs last night - friendly against St.Mirren ended me with 8 men, people like Lilley booting Kean ect, madness!

Starting a game with Stirling Albion now.
