That's weird, as he turned down £110 a week to come to us. huh.gif

How has he done for you anyway? I only wanted to sign him for nostalgia reasons.


He's done very well and the board and supporters are constantly praising me for getting him. Pretty decent goalscoring record since scoring although I think he may be pushed out the side by 2 of my January signings, one of them being a Jamaican international with 67 caps and 20 goals. blink.gif

My season has gone terribly sour though, after a very good first quarter I'm now starting to slip down the league. A win or two would put me straight back into the play-off's because it's a very tight league but I'm hovering dangerously above the relegation play-off spot all of a sudden.

Indeed. Started off shite for me anyway.

I'm on a dreadful run of form.

All this talk about Voosen (spelling) good player but the keeper in Genk is better. And standard have a really good centre back and immense attacking midfielder.
Also Radoi quality player
May only be available on large database.

You can get all your kits and logos on here. You might want to scroll back a few pages on this thread as well, as one your Dumbarton mates done some badges. Very good they were, too. smile.gif

I had a quick game when I got in from work last night. I drew the lot of them (3). All home matches and two of them were against the bottom two. I went right through them - well as much as I could from the multiple choice options. Sadly, 'lazy b*****ds' was not an option, so I had to settle for 'show your anger'. The knobs may have cost me promotion. mad.gif

Still, there are three games left and the gap is only three points from me in 6th and Alaves at the top.
Cowanthebluenose
Celtic currently 3 points clear with two OF games to go in the season.
I have a shite ammount of injuries atm. Still in the Yoofa cup. Beat Bordeaux and now have Villareal. Drew 0-0 in the away game so I'll hopefully skelp them at Ibrox.
Aberdeen Gretna ICT and St Mirren all a within 3 points of each other.

St.Johnstone are the most dirty cheating team in the game. McLaren just broke Imrie's leg, and broke Higgins' arm in the space of 10 minutes. I play them in 3 days time, where he will be kicked off the park by my team. I will make sure of this.

im spending my whole sunday lying in bed playing football manager wooo fucking hooooo biggrin.gif

does anyone else change the training schedule around or just leave it as it is? every year i generally just leave it how it is and do well, but i feel i could get more from the players with a better training schedule.

i always increase training levels to the lowest of the heavy setting and the players seem happy.

you see i was thinking more along the lines of having different schedules for different types of players. are there any online guide type things?

Scroll down past the Man Utd and Chelsea tops and there is a huge list of kits for most leagues.

Kits.

This forum has downloads for kits, backgrounds, logos etc. It might be an idea to pin a link to it. I will start a thread and if you think it's okay to pin, if not just delete it. smile.gif

I use "Tugs Training Schedules" which is found HERE

It gives trainig schedules for all postions including being a bit more specific aeras. The only fault I have with it is that the goalies don't improve as much as the rest of the players and you will need to tweak it to get the best out of it.

what do you think of these three skins?

is the file name 'index.php' if not replace the last three letters with 'php' and make sure they are in you're schedule folder.

And also make sure that there are in "My Document>Sports Interactive>Football Manager 2008>tactics"
The Real Saints
Went on a great run, and was joint top with Morton, but have now lost 3 games in a row and slumped down to 4th.
Just signed Aime Koudou from Kilmarnock, and Kenny Deuchar's loan finished, while Rocco Quinn's ends at the end of the month, when he heads to Everton. laugh.gif
Hope to get my season back on track against Alloa in the Scottish Cup 4th Round.

Big signing : striker Enrique Chiesa from Siena on a free transfer! Pre-contract. He'll be arriving at the end of the season. Will be our best striker by far.

mmm.... OK if you have the file name as "index.php" and it's in the correct folder, then it should be a case of going into the Training screen, then click on the 'schedule tab' on the screen, then on the next screen click on 'import' button then its just a matter of choosing the appropriate folder and it should be there, if it isn't and you've followed all the instruction correctly, then I don't know where it went wrong.

*EDIT - added some screenshots, showing the schedule table, the path to my trainig schedule and what you should see when it works correctly.

so should the actual files themselves be named 'index.php'

there's two files that i have downloaded along with a read me file.

the two files i have aren't named 'index' but something else

Well finally gotten into the swing of things with Forfar, although I admit i went into the editor and brought in Neil McCallum from Saints and Chris Mackie from Alloa on loan - as per real life wink.gif

After a less than promosing opening set of fixtures, we're into September and stringing a few wins together - mostly thanks to parent club Dundee Utd sending Greg Cameron and David Goodwillie up on loan for the season.
