I'm away to try it

Worked for me, I got Morton & Plymouth but I cant get more than two running the new patch.

Seems to work with with more with the older version.

Missed out on bouncing straight back up to the SPL but I'm going for it big time this year.

Signed in the summer : Malcolm Macari (one for the future), Marc Fitzpatrick, William Stanger, Joe Hamill, Mike McGlinchey and Kenny Walker as well as promoting Gregor Thomson, Mark Kirk, Kevin Wilson and Andy Wright from the reserves.

I did have Macari, Stanger and McGlinchey on loan at various times but only with this seasons ludicrous transfer budget could I make it permanant.

The lineup in the screenshot of my squad is a bit strange though, John Graham, Michael Graham and Grant Smith are first team regulars but as you can see are injured. Martis was, but I think Thomson has done enough to replace him.

Currently with dumbarton
14 game unbeaten run came to an end just there
top of the second and in the 4th round of the scottish cup against rangers away
Got alot of good loans and signings

That squad is only missing two players, who are no longer with the club, but they only amassed 4 appearances between them, which makes my title win even more impressive

Going to go Dc United

I can't get any on the new patch

Finally won a game with my Clyde team - beat St.Johnstone 3-2, which could see me saved my job

I cant get it working either now, worked okay for me first time on the new patch with rangers

I'm running the new patch, and it's just fine for me.

Awk well, I'm starting a new game tonight anyway. Hope it works on the original version

Just finished my first season in charge at Alloa with a respectable 8th position in the 2nd Division.
It's clear I need new signings to strengthen the squad. I've already brought in six new lads. Young left-winger from Raith, Peter Stevenson ; Stranraer right-winger, Ali Akbar; promising Arbroath left-winger - Aaron Deans; Young St. Johnstone centre mid, Danny O'Donnell; and the last two who are both strikers - Roddy Hunter from St. Albans, and the best signing of them all, Colin McMenamin from St. Johnstone.
Not a bad day's work!

I have a complaint about your research.

Dobbie won a player of the month award at some point last year.

You clearly were not objective in your research

I know, Stephen Dobbie is always shit hot in my FM, scores about 19 goals in 15 games for Dumbarton then fucks off to Wolves/Hull/Birmingham etc. Your a shite researcher!

Hadn't played a game this year until tonight and Dick fucking Campbell has hacked my game or become my new defensive coach. I had played 8 games in my first season in Div 1 with Albion Rovers,gained 12 points and sitting 6th with 9 goals conceded in those 8 games. Started up tonight and went:

Ross County (A) L 6-2
Dunfermline (H) D 2-2
Falkirk (A) L 2-1
Morton (H) L 3-2
Clyde (A) L 4-3

10 goals scored in 5 games, but 17 conceded! No injuries to my defence or anything, they've just turned to shit overnight. I changed to a 5-3-2 at HT in the Clyde game when losing 3-1 and that seemed to tighten things up a bit so I'll see how that goes.

I still blame Campbell.

I saved Forfar from relegation last night, they had 15 points and 11 points off total safety. I turned them around and finished 6th with 46 points. Paul McManus bagged 14 in 14 league games and i linked with Dundee United to get Graham Weir, Marco Andreoni and David McCord on loan. I went on to sign McCord for 100k and brought in more.

Also this year was the cup shock year, Ross County beat Rangers and Raith beat Hearts. St Johnstone reached the final and lost to Celtic. But in England West Brom beat Arsenal 1-0 to win the FA Cup

I just got sacked from Queen's Park.

Completely out of the blue. I drew 3-3 with Shire (I took the lead on 89, and they equalised with an offside goal on 92 )

And now I no longer have a job Bad craic.

Gearing up for life in the first with Shire. Out go Paul Rudden to Dundee, and Paul Jarvie and Matthew Berkeley on free's, along with Damon Gray, whose loan ended, though I am seeking to get him on a permanent deal. In come 'keeper David Scott, midfielder Brian Emslie, forward Joreon Van Den Broeck, and utility man Chris Millar.

I had him on loan when i was dumbarton in the 3rd and he was shite

Any good youngsters tae reccomend?

Started a game as QP yesterday and after 16 league games sit in 3rd place, three points behind leaders Stenhousemuir.

Made some good signings this season and my link with Motherwell's been very fruitful. Alan Martin (Who was in my brother's class at school and I remember playing fitba with him), Willie Soutar, Juan Carrio and John McGeough have all signed and done well, McGeough especially, scoring 10 times in 15 games.

Signed Davie Bagan and John Gemmell from Dumbarton on free's but neither has started a game yet despite good performances for my succesful reserve side. Kevin McBride from Cowden has proved to be excellent at the back with Soutar.

First game in the 1st Division

Beezer!

I am Napoli at the moment and came 4th in Serie B. I was beaten in the play-off by somebody of the calibre of Empoli or something. Anyway, I have decided my coaches are pish with their negative cautious style of play. However, it is only other cautious bloody Italians that are applying for the posts. How do I get coaches that like to attack, to apply?

I suppose I could poach them, but I am a busy manager, I don't have time to poach. Any ideas would be welcome.

You should've seen him before I sorted him out!

You know what annoys me in FM. When a player gets sent off, and you warn him for dismissal in the prior match, and then he complains about it being unfair.

It's not unfair, because you got sent off!

It depends what the sending off has been for. If it's for a couple of mistimed tackles, then a warning probably is a bit unfair, whereas if it's for elbowing or general misconduct, you'll find he'll more often than not accept a warning.

All depennds on the personality of the player as well.

Got sacked from Dungannon Swifts, not very good am I

Well, after my well-documented troublesome spells at the Columbus Crew and Queen's Park, I've finally unleashed my true potential.

Hartlepool United offered me an "Avoid Relegation" contract, as they sat bottom of League 2 after 15 games.

Going into the last game of the season, and I'm sitting in the last promotion play-off place, and I'm playing the team bottom of the league. I really should get into these play-offs!

Update: What a f'cking game! If I won, I finished 6th, comfortable in the playoffs. If we drew, I finished 10th, in mid-table obscurity. A loss, and I was down in 12th.

And I thought the Godfather of Soul was dead! Thank f'ck he's not!

Loading up my Shrewsbury game now - here's hoping for a season that doesnt see me sacked!

Right... prepare to be so shocked yeh shit yersels... Rangers won the UEFA Cup against AC Milan in the Nou Camp.. Final Score Rangers 3-1 AC Milan. Sadly I forgot to screenshot it .

It makes Football manager 2006 (And 2005 as well I think) the English season 89/90.

The Liverpool team is awsome in the game, Rangers & Milan arent bad either.

In other words, you're talking pish.

It'll still be there, c'mon let's see the screenshot

Pah, when you win 22 League Titles and 20 European Cups in a row (Rangers - 19 titles and 17 Euro Cups, Gretna - 3 titles and 3 Euro Cups) like I did in FM05 then you might have something to shout about.

I had nothing to do with it but Alloa won the champions league in my 03/04 game

How many seasons into the game?

erm....10

Still odd none the less

Still top by 9 points

Rangers & Celtic in EPL

In 2009 now, almost finished the season and I am 7th, Celtic are 11th. Things are going up though, with the great scouting knowledge i'm landing great youth talent and have 3 players coming through the youth system who look like they could turn world class.

Is it just me or do you always lose the cup game on penelty's against bigger opposition?

Hell broke loose

My midfielder got sent off for violent behaviour in my important league match at home to Clyde. I fined him a week's wages. He thought that the fine was unfair, so I fined him another week's wages for unprofessional behaviour. He'll know not to spit the dummy again. Twat.

That's man-management at its best!

I'm currently manager of Dumbarton via spells at, L.A Galaxy where I won the America cup thing and also finished top off my league group but got beat in the play-offs and eventually left to got to Aberdeen who were bottom of the SPL and I had 6 months to turn it around and the 19 players I brought in made sure I stayed up and eventualy finished 9th but I left at the start of the next season and went to Birmingham who were struggling in the Championship however despite a lot of good sigings it didn't work out so I left after just 2 months.

I took over at Dumbarton in January when they were bottom of the league however the league was that tight that I was only 15 points off 2nd place with Queens Park running away with the league. So I set about getting rid off the entire squad (well I kept 1 player) and bringing in a completely new squad. And with that squad I only lost twice in my last 14 games helping me secure 4th.

In the play-offs I beat 5-0 in the Semi's and had Stenny in the final where I won 1-0 at home and despite dominating at Ochilview it was 0-0 going into the last minute then Ian Vigurs (who I had already signed ona pre-contract) scored a 40 yard free-kick to take the game to extra-time and penalties whcih I comofortably won 3-0.

Shrewsbury are a team that actually play well, and grin out results. Thing going not too shabbily, and table looks like this at the start of October:

I can see Shrews going up

Just finished my first season as Portsmouth boss. Season started off not too good, but after about 5 or 6 games the team really stated to click together. With 5 games or so to go I was just 2 points behind Chelsea in the title race, with Arsenal 4 points behind me. Then the wheels came off a bit as I only one 2 of the remaining 5 games, losing 2 of them and drawing one. This meant I ended up in 3rd place, 10 points behind champions Chelsea and 2 points behind Arsenal.

Drew Lokomotiv Moscow in the Third Qualifying Round of the Champions League and beat them 3-0 away in the first leg. Not strengthend my squad to much over the summer, but I expect to be challenging for a European place at least again this season.

I just won my first game with LA Galaxy 7-0 in the American version of the Champions League!

Anyone know a good mirror download site for the latest update? The SIgames.com one is slow as feck.

Also, time here but how do I check what exact version of the game I have currently? My game says it's version 7.0.1, but when I click on the "check for updates" it directs me to the version on sigames.com mentioned above, also 7.0.1. I assume there are slight differences though?
