Right I'll stay away from him then!
I signed a guy called Colin Murray off Kildare County in my last game and he turned out to be a real gem for me. Played almost every game at centre back. Might not be good enough for Sligo mind you since we are dung anyway :D
Came 6th in my first season with rovers,one particularly bad spell kinda fecked me up. Got knocked out in the semis of both cups by cork. Was doing well in the 2nd season,then signed about 3 or 4 players that were better than what i had but it seemed to disrupt things so i've only gotten 1 point from my last 4 games:(. In 5th place at the moment but there's a big enough gap to 4th. League cup semi coming up against pats too. Not many rovers players left in my team,have signed a good few players whose contracts were up:
GK - chris o'connor(slightly better than brush)
LB - Shaun holmes
CB - Peers
CB - Miguel rebosio(quality peruvian international,my best player)
RB - coleman/Ryan France
LM - Eoin powderly(deadly young fella i got from kildare,he's on the irish u19 team)
CM - O'grady
CM - Ndo
RM - Cretaro
ST - Judge
ST - fenn/donal mcdermott(young fella i got from man city)
Subs:
Bostock(youth player,have had big offers for him but rejected them)
Stuart byrne
timmy purcell
Paul marshall(another young guy i got from man city)
coleman/france
fenn/mcdermott
nice to see you discovered the editor RF :D;)
???????? Actually haven't cheated all,well I did once. Lost a league game against harps after a last minute goal and restarted and won it. Tbh i don't even know how to use the editor.
Jaysus, howd you manage to sign so many players, Ndo etc.? in my game Rovers budget is about 10k
If only spent like 3k on players, signed everyone as their contracts ended. My budget for wages is 9.8k a week and i'm a little bit under that at the moment. When youth players get promoted and are gettin £200 a week but they're crap I offer them to clubs for free. Ndo is on £650 a week, second highest earner after france who is on £725. After that i have 5 other players on more than £400. When offering a contract to a player, say he asks for £500 a week, if you offer about £450 you'll get him. Still I may have pretty good players but have yet to achieve anything of note. Very few of the original rovers squad would be good enough for my team now. Just peers and raf are assured of a place. I make money by arranging around 7 or 8 friendlies during the summer against premiership teams,during the summer. I play my youth team so my main players don't get tired and their morale doesn't drop.
Yeah, I'm making the First Division facepacks at the moment and have about 5 of them done. I've decided not to release them individually but rather as part of an Eircom League superpack. I may release a beta version of the superpack sometime this month, otherwise it will be released post-patch/data update in time for the new season.Quote:

Is there any chance you could upload the Finn Harps' one for me? Be great if you could. Thanks.
A First Division pack would be great instead of having to wait for the superpack. :)
No problem.Quote:

Superpack will come out as soon as I'm finished the First Division. I've got 6 done so far. This will be based on the 9.2 database. Then probably sometime in February/March, I'll release a new pack with the updated transfers etc. You can probably expect the 1st superpack (incl First Division) in the next 2 weeks.Quote:

I cheated with money just to see what it was like, and I got United, Celtic and AC Milan to play in a friendly tournament!!
Didn't think it was that easy. Must go and organise some friendlies and get some money in the kitty.Quote:

I've done the Limerick one. Pictures were difficult to find so some of them aren't fantastic, may also be some players for which no pictures were available. Anyway, here you go:Quote:
