Having Just won promotion from Division Three via the playoffs (Good job because Deveronvale cost me the title on the final day sending Clydebank up as Champions) We beat Cowdenbeath 2-0 at Central Park in the first leg but lost 2-1 in the second stealing promotion with a 90th minute Ryan Pow goal.

I presume you mean like Kevin Keegan did, manage Fulham and England at the same time.
Not tried it in this game, but you certainly could in the other games, so I imagine so.

Not got a clue.

Just general guess's here, but have you configured firewalls on both machines to allow you to connect?

You'll need to find out what your external IP addresses are and make sure your firewalss are properly set up.

u can manage both btw

After securing promotion from the Third Division and winning the championship by 8 points thanks to the forward duo of Markus Paatelainen and David Templeton, I have just begun season 2008/09 in the 2nd Division. However, with Queen's in serious financial difficulty, I have been forced into selling Paatelainen for £30K to Peterhead and Templeton is subject of constant enquiries just now from Liverpool, Celtic, Falkirk, St Mirren and Peterhead, and i'm trying to punt him for around £50K

Sitting 3rd in the division after 1 game, Stirling Albion were beaten 2-0 at Forthbank on the opening day and the only other game i've played is a CIS Cup 1st Round tie against 1st Division Inverness at Hampden. Lost 2-0 to a Craig Dargoi

If you change anything in the editor then there is a problem (pre patch) where saved games sometimes won't load and you can't ever get back to it.

When going a wee club I always change potential stadium capacity and this has buggered me a few times.

East Fife season has got a lot better.

Changed formation from 4-4-2 to 4-3-1-2 with a DM in the middle of the midfield and took 20 points from 27, 6 wins-2 draws-1 defeat. Have left it a bit late for the play-offs as I'm 6 points behind with 3 games to play.

Have a squad of 15 players for next season, have tried to sign 34 players on pre-contracts and not a single one of them wants to move to Methil. Accepted a £3k bid for Scott McLean and Kevin Finlayson has taken the huff with me after I hauled him off 20 minutes into a 4-0 thrashing from Dumbarton (my 1 defeat in 9).

Looks like I'm going to be filling the squad with loan players from my parent club and as many 18 year olds who have been released by SPL teams as I can find.
garymcc1874
1st in SPL after 16 games unbeaten (won 14 drawn 2) - 11 ahead of Celtic who are 2nd. smile.gif

Have most of the same team as the one I posted in my last post except Dulee Johnson asked for a move to a bigger club, I've sent a few guys on loan to Colchester, and I've signed a few brilliant players for basically nothing as their contracts were unprotected (Emanuele Moxedano, Joe Templeton, Christopher Hunter, Ricardo Fernandes, and Nikos Makris). smile.gif


EDIT just qualified to the knockout stage of the "EURO Cup" with a last minute goal from McGoldrick v AZ biggrin.gif

One of my Raith under19's has been picked for the England U19 squad huh.gif

Just started a season with Airdrie top after 6 games with 5 wins and 1 defeat.

Aime Koudou is fucking goal machine 7 goals in all competitions so far in mid september. Hes a free agent in the game, but I just added him to Airdrie via the editor when I was polishing some squads a bit.

I'm having major problems trying to get a left mid in. I've tried Andrew Driver, Gary Smith, Willie Gibson, Robert Sloan and some guy from Crystal Palace, all of whom I've tried to bid for on loan with the exception of Sloan and either been rejected or they didn't want to play for me or in Driver's case go to Ross County instead. mad.gif

I also tried to sign John Fleck who is only 15 on a full-time deal and wage, but he wouldn't come to me either.

I decided to have another go at this, see if I could get on any better.

I am at January 2010, sitting top of the SPL having finished third the previous season and due to play Dynamo Kiev in the UEFA Cup knockout stages within the next month.

My full squad except Kenny Milne are under 24 years old and on long term contracts.

But the scariest thing is.......John Stewart is valued at £4M! huh.gif

Stephen Dobbie - Plays for QoS is a striker and I don't have problems scoring goals laugh.gif
Derek Carcary - As above, but Gretna actually signed him in my game
Simon Dunne - Defender and too young
Mahktar N'Diaye - Wages too much, and they never accept loan deals where you pay nothing in wages
James McCarthy - Shite in the game
Stewart Devine - Signed for Morton in my game
Lee Robinson - Is he not a keeper?

No I don't, I only run the Scottish League and I don't really plan on having one.

Get McCarthey as he is really good in the game. I got Mahktar N'Diaye on loan and didnt have to pay any wages. Yes Lee Robinson is a keeper. I got Simon Dunne from celtic for freee and has turned out really good after a year and big clubs like aston villa,Newcastle etc after him.

I'm now into the 2011/12 season, trying to get SMFC into the Premiership in my UK League. After back to back promotions from the Englsih Conference North, to the Championship, we underwent a transitional season last year, losing 7 of my young players to bigger clubs for around £50m combined.

The money, however, was well spent and I now (4 games after this screenshot was taken), sit atop the Championship, ready to launch an assault on winning a tough league which includes Man City and Celtic.

My squad also looks like the United nations, unsurprisingly I have 3/20 for domestic player bias.

See when I set up a UK league all my Scottish teams lost their reserves and under 19s teams and I was just wondering how you can stop that from happening?

I don't know what you have done wrong. I added in Scottish, Welsh, N.Irish and Eire sides.

Perhaps setting all of the clubs' nationalities to English? I forgot to do this in my first build of the UK League and it fecked up after around 6 months (though I think it gave me reserve squads etc). I changed it and everything was sorted.

Are your reserve and Youth teams in English reserve leagues as well with all the English teams?

Season 4 aka "Keep ARFC in Div 1" has taken a turn for the better. A change to 3-5-2 has seen David Templeton snaffle 8 goals in 6 games, and also sign a contract extension that *doesn't* have a min. fee release clause of £200k smile.gif which is quite handy what with Preston having offered £100k a couple of weeks ago.

I also appear to have changed managerial style from Dick Campbell to Kevin Keegan. With 13 to go the table looks like the attached. I'm in my highest position for several weeks having kicked about 8th and 9th. Top scorers behind the league leaders but also leakiest defence behind Dunfermline (who let in 7 to me the other week in the game that hopefully turned my season). Entertaining if nowt else.

Aye, cheers that done the trick.

I've been taking a backseat so far in my season and Rangers are top of the Premiership after albeit 5 games including a 3-1 defeat of Chelsea and Dundee United knocked Arsenal out of the Carling Cup. laugh.gif

When regens go wrong... Although I suppose Wigan is rugby league country so maybe lassies of that height and build are common down that way.

Anyway, finished 3rd in Rovers' 1st season in division one, signed two young NI boys for washers during the window and Premiership clubs are sniffing around already. Need to decide whether to flog them (and / or Templeton) before the season starts and use the cash to get in experienced strikers, or try and hang onto them for another season, hope they win me promotion and their value goes through the roof.

I've started a game with all Asian leagues turned on, and began unemployed. After applying for 12+ jobs, I finally got offered two with Indonesian clubs. I took the offer of the slightly richer one. I'm now in charge of Persemai Dumai in the First Division.

Indonesia's a bit nuts, so, so, so many out of contract youth players, 30% of whom appear to be 16 year old right backs.

Ended season at East Fife in 5th place, revamped the squad over the summer:

out went -

my goalie returned to Motherwell as loan was up.
right back Caulfield went to Albion Rovers for £9k.
left back Hamill went to Raith for £20k

and I brought in free replacements in Howie, Allison and Gilbride.

With 4 centre halfs I then accepted a £10k bid for player of the year Roycroft and sold him at which point the fans protested and I was sacked!!!

Unwashed Fife bawbags!!!!!!

Started afresh with Aberdeen in the SPL. Have brought in Alan McGregor in a swap for Chris Mackie and become parent club of Deveronvale. Spent my £50k transfer budget on Carcary and Templeman, and then farmed Temps out to Deveronvale for the season.

Was then totally screwed when an injury crisis left me with 1 fit midfielder and I ended up signing Derek Ure for the £1k I had left.

Sitting 6th after 9 games and won 2-0 at Ibrox.

Can anyone answer the follwing questions................


I used to be a smaller club and were only allowed to scout within continental Europe, after several season I'm now a big team with a sufficiently high reputation and excellent finance, but can still only scout within Europe. Any way to change this?

Last year when I rejected offers for my big players they didn't care, now they are unhappy that I'm keeping them there despite the fact I am the best team in the game and have the highest reputation. Any reason why?

You need to appoint scouts and coaches of different nationalities I think. When I was Falkirk I had good knowledge of Portugal and T&T due to Latapy, I imagine if you appoint anyone from South America you'll get knowledge of there for example.

I think there is something built into the game that says when a player has been at the same club for a while and possibly won everything etc. they fancy a change and that's what makes them unhappy if they aren't allowed to move.
