How are you getting on with this CTID?

On another issue, I've tried managing Harps twice and have gotten relegated twice and sacked both times. Finding the game extremely difficult. Any tips? Hard to attract and sign players as well but I guess that's nothing new with Harps :D

Managing Fisher Athletic now in the Blue Square South but can't get into it at all. Havn't played it in ages.

Injurys in this game suck, i came from the Serie C2 all the way up to Serie B, i got 3 serious injurys in my first 2 games and now my striker got injured for 3 weeks.

3 games, 3 losses, no goals and bottom of the league with 6 of my starters injured.

Always a shame when you take a club as far as they can go and then you lose interest when you take over at another club. Happened to me there with AFC Wimbledon, took them from BS South to League One, secured to mid tables in a row and got offered the Fulham job in the Championship, took them to the Premier and lost interest after another mid table season.

I've taken on the job of Annan Athletic in the Scottish 3rd Division. Riding high, only November yet in my first season and I'm three points behind the leaders.

Anyone know when the next official patch is out?

I got out of the Group Stages with Bohs in '08 after about 5 seasons. Lost to Juventus in the knockout rounds. '09 seems to be tougher though.

I got Harps to the last 16 in the Champions League in the 03/04 game...was probably around 2011/2012 in the game when I did. Chelsea knocked me out. Havn't got close since in any of the newer games. They have definitely got tougher.

In 03/04 I got Shelbourne into the Semi Final of the Champions League in my fourth season with no editing! As soon as starting the game I'd sign a guy called Dudu Cearense (sp) on a free, he'd take up nearly all of your wage budget but he'd always sign, the rest were just free transfers or loans...snd season Dudu would of scored 20 goals from midfield and be worth 3 or 4 million, sell him and buy a Belaraus international called Sergey Kisliy (�250k) from BATE & Freddy Guarain (�400k) & the goalkeeper from Envigiado, I would also sign Nik Besagno on a free and Eddie Gaven who wouldn't always sign...then I'd use the rest of the money to buy loads of Irish players...Tom Lyons from Palace & Willie John Kiely (Then Aberdeen) were favourites - that team walked the league and made progress in the Champions League - you'd then sell the foreign superstars for a small fortune and before you'd know it you'd have 12 or 13 million to buy yourself a squad! Probably not the most realistic of the FM games but certainly the most playable

wow :)

im currently managing germany and its pretty fun. i mean i could pick a squad full of goalkeepers. some of the appearances are insane. schweinsteiger is like only 26 and has 90 caps, mertesacker(his dribbling ability is 1 lol) is close behind him. ive basically formed a new squad and i hope to play until 2018 world cup.

most of my better players dont start for their club but kroos has come in and excelled so ive dropped ballack back into a sitting playmaker role.

gomez is scoring for fun in the league but he needs about a zillion chances to score internationally

Unless you deleted them the files you downloaded should still be there, all you need to do is re-install them

Just finished season 2010 with Derry and here's how the table went:

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7897/90849514.jpg

I went into the last game 3pts clear playing overs away, and if Bohs won and I lost they would have won the league on GD. I was duffed 3-0 but luckily Bohs drew 1-1 with Sporting Fingal to hand me the title. Pat Fenlon got a warning for complaining about having a goal disallowed:D

Have quit playing FM09 because I genuinely think it's a bit crap and gone back to FM05, so much more fun to be honest

Anyway I came in to post these two responses on a thread on another forum re: the angriest you've ever been playing the game as they genuinely had me in tears of laughter

Quote:

The angriest response to the game I've seen was from a pal of mine.

He's become convinced of the game's cheating "first shot sydrome" whereby if you were a better team, you could batter an opposition and them out of nowhere their first effort on goal would fly in. He'd whinged at me for ages about this, but I ignored the guy (as you do...)

Then one day arriving at his house, he answered the door with countless sheets of paper. He'd gone through EVERY SINGLE match report that year to see what happened to his first shot on goal and what happened to his opponents'. He claimed have conclusive proof (from about 60 matches or more) that the computer was 3 times as likely to score with its first shot.

I had no response to a spitting mad statto. Not much you can say.

Quote:

Was playing the old CM3. Using Fulham and brought them up from lord knows what division to the Prem League. After about 4 or 5 season in the Prem I've got an amazing team, and am leading Liverpool by 3 points with a +5 goal difference advantage over them.

For the final game of the season I'm beating QPR 2-0 at halftime. Job done I thought.

Full time score. QPR 5 - 2 Fulham. Liverpool won their match as well, 2 - 0 and win the Prem on goal difference.

I was angry enough as it was and was contemplating what to smash up in my room until I read the Liverpool match report. Goal times: 90 and 90.

Ended up just ejecting the CD from the computer, going to the garage and going to town smashing on it with my dad's hammer, tears streaming from my face, screaming obscenaties while I did it.

:D:D:D
