I'd rather they just got the basics right, TBH. Then maybe we could play the game without all these bloody patches

Although, on first glance last night it does look like they've fixed all the contract problems I was having

Currently playing with Queen's Park atm and have an impressive squad. II signed Scott McCulloch for 2 grand in the transfer market and promptly got shagged by top of the table Shire lol. I've since snapped up the following for next season: Sandy Hodge, Emilio Jaconelli, James McKinstry and Brian Carrigan so if we don;t get promoted this year we'll be there or there abouts next year

This is the strangest an funnies tthing I have ever seen on the game.

I bought Sergio Aguero from Liverpool for £60m, but he now plays for BOTH of us.

While viewing my squad when you click on his name, it shows up as an Arsenal player an his stats for me, when you go to Liverpool squad he is also there and it displays his liverpool stats.

I beat Liverpool 2-1 and he scored a hatotrick. 2 goals for me, 1 for them

Please, please tell me you havent downloaded the latest patch

I haven't.

I also had Henri Saviet on loan for 7 season without paying a thing, then bid £10m and it was rejected

I haven't downloaded any patches because the only glitches I have come across are insignificant, like the overhit before the goal kick or Celtic winning hte league cup zero times. Nothing big.

In current news, I am looking to get Clyde back to their rightful place in the SPL after failing to go straight back up after relegation. Was only there for one season and had a pish transfer budget despite having 2M in the bank by the end of the season

This is the current table at the halfway point

edit - St. Johnstone have 28 pts. Its covered up by mistake

Just shagged ICT 4-1 in the Cup

They're 5th in the SPL

Got to January window with Aberdeen and am really up shit creek, have 7 players out on loan and 12 players injured. Lost Alan McGregor for three months, Dempsey for 7 months, Lee Miller for 2 months and Jamie Smith for 4 months.

Sold Barry Nicholson to Wigan for £750,000 and have brought in Robert Snodgrass, Graeme Dorrans and a couple of Rangers reserves. Have £350,000 left and went for Cameron of Dundee Utd but the Gers came in staright after and bid £500,000. DAMN! Going to have to spend the £350k on players just to bulk out the squad as my U-19 team are all aged 15.

Am hanging onto 3rd place in the League but Hearts and Dundee Utd are right behind me.

Are your finances ok? That was my major problem with LL games, massively high bonuses and other contract issues.

Pleased to report, with the new patch so far so good

2m in the bank.

I did at first have ridiculous appearance fees at the beginning but offered the good players new ones and that issue was sorted.

What about other clubs?

In all the games I started, pre latest patch, every other LL club had the same problem. Didnt see much point in playing on uneven terms like that.

They're finances are better than real life. The likes of Partick can actually afford 5 figure tranfer fees, they're mid table first right now

Can someone post all these scottish kits, mini badges/large badges?

No.

But you can get all the links at Sort It Out SI

HELP!!!

Ok. Football manager stopped loading up today for no apparent reason.

1. I insert the CD (as normal)
2. Click on the icon on the start menu (as normal)
3. My computer makes this noise (that always happens when i load up a powerful game)
4. Nothing happens. (NOT NORMAL)
5. I press ctr alt delete and look at applications. There is no football manager there, as you can see:Click to view attachment
6. However, the game has clearly loaded as you can see from looking at the processes: Click to view attachment

What can i do to fix it? Can someone please help me? Because i'm getting withdrawl symptoms

reinstall. if it doesnt let you install again then your disc may be scratched and its unable to load meaning you need a new copy

Uninstalled it and re-installed it. Still doesn't ne work. I ain't gonna buy a new cd so anyone else got any ideas? Bythe way there's no scratches on the cd or nothing so it must be something to do with my computer, but i don't know what. Another reason why there isn't a fault with the cd is because when u click o nthe icon it tells you if the cd is either not inserted or faulty as the game never even starts. My pc clearly says the game is started, but it just doesnt seem to load up.

This isn't the most helpful, but the same thing happened with me and I was able to fix it. Unfortunately I'm at work just now so I can't get on to the types of sites that would give any helpful hints. Try Googling "Football Manager Not Loading" or something like that.

Probably be better just going straight to the SI Football Manager technical forum

Theres also help on the si site. when unistallling you might also want to try and delect everything when unistalled like the computer will have some fm things still on the computer. i think they call it a clean reinstall

My form has kind of hit a dip - I don't know the stats but my lead at the top has been slashed to 5 points with only 9 games to go

Please hold on guys

P.S. also got beat in the next round cup was 3-0 down to Partick Thistle after 50 minutes, pull it back to 3-3 in 80 minutes only for the b@stards to score in the 82nd

You need a CD to play Football Manager? Holy Shite batman!

Just came across this result.

Closet Airdrie fan are you? I hope you wiped the screen.

Judging by the filename, I guess he isn't.

It's worrying that I was going to make a similar comment.

It looked like I was going to bottle it and lose the title to Motherwell.

With 6 games to go I had a 9 point lead
5 to go - lose - 6 point lead
4 to go - draw - 4 point lead
3 to go - lose but Motherwell only draw - 3 point lead

I then had to play 3rd placed Airdrie a win would take them out of the title race altogether and would put us in a strong position over Motherwell. After a disgraceful defeat to Brechin I decided to ring the changes I brought in Andrew Cave-Brown on loan, changed the goalkeeper and brought the long out of favour Dayne Robertson back into the team.

It started badly and at half time I was trailing 1-0. I made a few subs went all out attack for the last 10 minutes and that wonderful man Dayne Robertson, scored in the 80th and 85th minute to seal the 3 points. Motherwell lost meaning I had a 6 point lead with 2 games to go.

I was forced into a couple of changes for the 2nd last game against Dunfermline, who were 9th. Ross County were doomed to at least the playoffs, so Dunfermline still had lots to play for.

I finally remembered to do my Paul Emslie as a playmaker trick BEFORE the game (always got there and changed in game ) and this happened.

Lets face it. Could that have finished any sweeter

I don't know what the Motherwell score is and frankly I don't care - 1 game to go - at least 6 points clear.

Great result mate

Might sound like a spoon here but are you using vista coz it dont work with that

I didnt have any problems running it on Vista, what was the problem?

:? I heard that its not compatible with vista - thats what the said on fmformation

i noticed a Q next to a team what are they qualifying for??

Not sure tbh.

Screenie: Click to view attachment

Qualifying to the play-offs and the winner of the play-offs is the overall winner of the 2 leagues combined.

ah right

Won the whole thing. Beat LA Galaxy in the final!

Now back to the shitey waviers list thing and lose half of my team.

In my 4 years at Chelsea I have won 4 league titles, 3 FA cups, 3 League cups and 3 Champions League. It's getting a bit boring so will probably change team soon.
