I deleted the accidental posts wink.gif

Thor is a decent striker on the game, but Jancykz is great! Try and sign him wink.gif

I never got the update so what is Armand One like?


Rather good cool.gif

Jancyk has been superb too, I might try to sign him in the summer (assuming I'm still in Kirkcaldy)

Guys like Tulloch and Manson impressed in pre-season, so I've given them a chance, they've not let me down yet.

Hitting form with Dag&Red, with winning MOTMfor December, 5 game winning streak then got held by fucking Forest Green 0-0. I didnt score for 5 games until I signed Derek Lyle from Dundee. He scored a hat-trick and won 4-1 on his debut laugh.gif

Currently 6th IIRC with 23 games gone. Just beat Halifax with a last minute Lyle goal biggrin.gif

I think I'm going to vomit.

Playing as Livingston, I had a friendly just before the season started against East Fife and thrashed them 6-1.

I draw them in the League Cup, and thought it would be another pounding. East Fife won 4-3 in penalties.

I started one with Morton not long ago. Walked the 2nd Division. I won it by about 25 points I think. Also won the challenge cup 1st season. Currently sitting top of the 1st in my 2nd season and in the semi's of the Scottish Cup against Hibs. I put Rangers out of the league cup before getting put out by Partick dry.gif

I've signed David Martin (young goalkeeper from Liverpool), Ryan Garry (Arsenal), Gordon Greer, Mark Gilhaney, Neil Jancyk, Jamie Adams, Sw**kie, Stevie Murray, Jim Hamilton and Derek Carcary. Also got Finnbogasson, Lewis Stevenson and McGowan on loan from Celtic (my parent team).

Looking good for promotion to the SPL and my squad seems good enough to cope there I reckon.

One question though. Has anyone ever had a successful appeal for a red card? I appeal maybe 50% of mine and have NEVER had it overturned.

If you can, buy Derek Carcary. Be willing to pay a lot. If he's stil at raith then he will definitly come to you, if not which is more likely stil try and get him. His favourite club is Queen's Park. He will score more than mcmanus

I've got Carcary for my Morton team and he was on fire in the 2nd Division, but he's been injured for most of the 2nd season in the 1st. I've turned down £200k bids from Sunderland and Charlton however.

I went for him at the start of the season and had the bid accepted and i gave him what he wanted for the contract but last min, a big team in the championship down south went in for him. if only they didnt for an extra day because it was like that day or next day i would have sealed the deal.

Don't go Morton. I found it too easy. 2 promotions in 2 seasons, only losing about 10 games in all competitions. I was then offered the Liverpool job without even applying for it, so I took it.

As for a challenge, why not go to some obscure league in some random country where you have no knowledge of the teams or players and start unemployed?
Tomsk The Beano
Fourth season at Ross Cty saw me finish 2nd in Division 1 for the 3rd season in a row and then disaster struck.

My scout indicated that Paul Dixon was out of contract and that he was a definate purchase so I got in there and signed him only to realise afterwards that I'd paid £250,000 in compensation mad.gif (should have read all of the small print!!!!!!!!!) This left me skint and with only 14 first team players so it was bye bye to

Allan Walker - off to St Mirren for £150,000
Kyle McAuley - off to Motherwell for £85,000
Joe Sagar - off to Dumbarton
Callum MacDonald - off to St Johnstone

After the full implications of the Dixon deal hit home I sold him in January to St.Mirren for £120,000 (he was costing over £2k a week) and spent the money on a replacement left back who is on a very basic package.

Finished in 5th and the team is looking better, managed to get Celtic in the League Cup and this got me £200k which I spent on Baillie and Carcary and brought in Colin Nicholson and Andrew McNeil on frees.

Team is now-

Andrew McNeill - free from Hibs
Jason Thomson - £4k from Dunfermline
Scott Campbell - £20k from Gretna
Johnathan Baillie - £45k from Airdrie
Gary McKenzie - Now my longest serving first teamer.
Steven Kerr - £5k from Rangers
Steven Lennon - Loan from Rangers
Nicholas Gallagher - free from Rangers
David Wetherspoon - £10k from Celtic
David Graham - £30k from Gretna
Derek Carcary - £40k from Falkirk

About to start Season 5 and I have a transfer budget of £25k as i took the increased wage budget.

Into my third season with St Mirren, having been relegated from the SPL in season 1, and finishing second in the First Division the following year (blowing a 10 point lead to finish 10 points behind). Over the summer, I've made £2.1 million on transfer fees alone (taking the total from two and a bit seasons to £3.7 million), and have signed Richie Jones and Adam Hammill on free transfers from Man Utd and Liverpool respectively, as well as Carl Finnigan and Alan McDonough as attacking back-up, and Ludovic Roy to be my first choice keeper again.

My board expect me to win the league, but the bookies have me as third favourites. Some more results like my first (and only) league game so far - a 4-0 demolition of Morton at Love street - will hopefully see me back in the SPL.

Started a new game as Elgin. First 6 games were hit and miss. Then went on a 10 game un-beaten run to go 2nd behind Stenhousmuir. Then 10 game losing run! Turned that around by playing Johnston upfront with Charlseworth behind him. Won the last 10 games to finish top by a point. Won 3 games on the trot 4-3.

Strengthened my team in the summer with no finances. I still went in for players that teams wanted 1,2 or 3K for and got them! i've got the scouts searching the U-19 and reserve leagues. remember that bit for later.

2nd season in the 2nd Div was ok. Played well and my signings did well. Tansey, Currie and Hodge and Ciaren Donnelly. Ended up 5th.

Now I've been tracking 3 players from Aberdeen u-19 and reserves. They look to be quite good players according to their stats so I've waited till their contracts were up. Aberdeen let them go and I swooped in and got 3 players for free that would have cost me £30K.

About to embark on 2nd Season in Div 2.

It depends on the country, it should tell you when you make the team your feeder clubs. Some countries can be as little as 2 years while others can be as much as 6.
