OK lads, what about we give our network game a wee shot tonight?

I'll be around from about 6pm, add me to an msn chat and we'll get everyone in the same chat and start the game.

New players welcome too. My pc is super fast now and runs a shitload quicker when playing it single player, should help speed stuff up for the network game too, as long as everyone keeps the pace up.

Played 6 games this season. First season in the SPl


Motherwell - 0 v 0
Aberdeen - 2 v 1
Falkirk - 0 v 0
Hearts - 0 v 1
Clyde (cup) 3 v 0

Very happy with this start. 5th in the league but a tricky game away to Cletic in the League Cup.

Goals -

Shaun Maloney - 4
Anthony Gisbert - 1
Steven Duff - 1
Massimo Margotti - 1

Still with Stenny in the Second Division. Got Bairdy on loan from Love St and some guy James Graham on loan from Leicester I think it was. Both banging in the goals smile.gif

I have had a strange season - out both of the cups but 6th in the league. I went on an 8 game winless streak (6 draws and 2 defeats) before beating Rangers 2-0!


It is a funny old game!

My Morton team just hammered Stranraer 12-0. blink.gif

Not sure where that came from, as I've just been hovering above the relegation zone in the SPL and I've recieved a few hidings, although I did beat Killie 9-3. blink.gif

Stranraer were sitting in 10th place in the second division and had 2 men sent off against me, one mid-way through the second half and one ten minutes from time. Hugo Viana scored a hat-trick, Wright Phillips bagged 7 and Graeme Lee and Svetoslav Todorov finished it off. biggrin.gif

Still, it was a fantastic achievement and I'm stake a claim for a few records from that one game!

Most goals in a game: Bradley Wright Phillips with 7.
Biggest Win: 12 (Morton vs Stranraer : Scottish Cup 3rd Round)
Every player in my team who played the full 90 minutes got a 10 rating!

I'll try and get a couple of screenshots up soon. The screenshots are on the computer downstairs which doesn't have an internet connection, and they won't let me write the files to CD either for some odd reason.

Frustrating problem managing Stenny in Div 2.

Jan 07 and managed to sell some under-19 player called Kevin Struthers for 250K ohmy.gif smile.gif

So I've got 200K to spend..... and no-one will come as we're paying pissy wages. mad.gif

So frustrating, anyway around it? unsure.gif

Well, at the start of the season when you they give you your transfer budget, you can fiddle about with it to suit you. So you can choose whether you want a higher transfer budget and lower wage budget, or vice versa.

I tend to go for the bigger wage budget, as I'm always capable to getting bargains but the only catch is the wages.

Just taking Stenny up to Division One (altho I had to replay my semi-final five times and the final twice ph34r.gif )

Happy Days and am now tailoring my budget to suit with extra wages available and less transfer funds cool.gif

After two successive promotions to get in the SPL, I achieved a mid-table finish in 7th place. biggrin.gif Started off the season poorly but my form really picked up towards the end of the season and was a little dissapointed to miss out on the top 6, but overall I am delighted to stay up so comfortably after successive promotions.

I've signed some Swedish attacking midfielder (Can't remember his name), 2 Polish internationalists (Maciej Korzym and the other I'm not going to even attempt to spell!) and Eddie Gaven, 21 year old American with about 35 caps to his name.

Haven't really started the season the way I'd hoped, the target this season is a comfortable mid-table finish so I think top 6 or even European football is not far out of reach. I also beat Forfar 10-0 in a friendly and every one of my players got a 10 rating!

Onwards and upwards, mon the ton! biggrin.gif

Just left Stenny for Everton - won promotion in the 3rd, 2nd and 1st divisions first time! the finished 6th in the SPL

Great manager!

won the 3rd divison with stenny and got to the scottish cup semi's, celtic gubbed me 5-1 though.

Also won the diddy cup

i have signed only 13 players and i have to defend diddy cup in 2 days against Ayr,i dont have a defence or even a goalie yet rolleyes.gif

here's hoping i pump them again though!!

Won the 1st division at the first attempt with the Saints, by a whopping 28 points (or something as remarkably large), losing 1 game in my first 30 league matches, then playing the youths!!!

Relegated the following season, after signing Gordon Greer for £1m (oops), and Cesnauskis on a free, along with Rob Kozluk from Sheffield United for free, Callum MacDonald from Dundee for a nominal sum and Allan MacGregor and Ali Brown on frees.

Won the league, despite a big mid-season wobble, to get back promoted, but have only a 5 point cushion over Dunfermline with half the SPL season left.

I cannot win a League or Scottish Cup tie, yet am unbeaten in the Challenge Cup (despite losing 3-1 on pens to Stranraer, only to find out I went through 2-1 on pens after the match huh.gif)
chopper
Forgot to add, sold Cesnauskis when I was relegated for £1.7m (nice profit) although cannot get rid of Greer, despite only wanting £300k for him!!!

Neil Janczyk in the DM role is tremendous, and Scott Morrison from Dunfermline was a steal of a signing!!!

Gordon Greer was great for my Morton team smile.gif

How do you change hiw much money you start with? I am really bored!

I just noticed that Falkirk just beat Inverness 6-0, and I thought to myself...thats a shocker, as Inverness are far superior to Falkirk in my season. I clicked into the scoreline to figure out Inverness had 4 (FOUR) players sent off! All of whom were in the first half and two of which were after 9 minutes! ohmy.gif

Falkirk are shite. laugh.gif
Burnsie
Nearly finished my first season with Stenny. Won the title by at least 25 points and got to the semi-final's of the Scottish Cup and lost against Inverness in a replay on penalties after taking the lead sad.gif . Would have got into Europe aswell since Rangers got to the final and were 2nd in the SPL.

Steve McGlinchey is better than I thought he would be 30 goals in 40 appearances!!!

My second season with barcelona is going swimmingly. I defeated Real Madrid for the third time in my tenute at the Nou Camp, this time 4-1 at the Bernabeu. Fabio Cappello tried his mind games, but he was left looking like a chump as, despite going a goal behind, Jose Antonio Reyes, Samuel Eto'o, Karim Benzema and Sidney Govou all scored for the league leaders.

Egg on his face!

I beat the 8-3 last season away, how do you post pictures of the screens?

If you want to copy screenshots into Paint, where you can save them then post them here, then all you do is put up the match screen with the details of the game (i.e. scoreline, scorers) then hold 'Ctrl' and press 'Print Scrn' which is above the arrow keys on your keyboard. Then come out of FM and open a blank Paint document, and hold 'Ctrl' and press 'V'. The screenshot should be ready to be saved and put on here.

I hope that helps!

I made myelf in the game, I play for Arsenal and I am fucking awesome in it. I have tried to sign Craig G Telfer in every available transfer window, but he will not leave Highbury for love nor money!

He is described as a 'wonderkid', he plays as an out-and-out striker, his preferred staff are Francesc Fabregas, Arsene Wenger and Craig Menzies and his special talents include getting the crowd going, shoots with power, uses tricks and beats player repeatedly.

He started his career with Stenhousemuir where he played for two seasons, before refusing moves to Rangers, Celtic and the Championship and signing for the MY/NJ Metrostars at the tender age of 17 for £400k. He spent one incredible season in the Us scoring 32 goals in 36 games, where he was signed by Arsene Wenger for £4.8 million. he begins the game with them.

Ironically, I played Arsenal with Barcelona in the Champions League Quarter Final, and went out on away goals, both of them scored by Craig G Telfer, the wee shite.

When you are on the screen you want, press 'print screen' on your keyboard.

Then go into paint and click edit -> paste.

Then save and when posting here just simply browse for the screenshot and add as an attachment! wink.gif

Awrite people. I found the Harchester United Leagends patch if anyone wants it. Gives you all the old legends like Karl Fletcher, Scott Lucas, Jamie Parker, The Alexander Brothers eberyone from since Dream Team started....... even the one and only Luis Amour Rodreguiz. As well as all the old managers and staf with Jerry Block as the chairman. It lets you go them in the game as well as adding the Current team into the game as well. If anyone wants the link to it just PM me. Rodreguiz what a guy!!!!!!
