ah man saved me so much work...cheers

but in the game derry are set as a Northern Ireland club(or I changed it cant remember) but the game was playable, so surely using that it would be possible to change individual clubs like Pat's to Irish status?

unless you mean you can't switch the leagues nation.

You can't change the leagues nation.

Also I'm surprised by changing Derry City to a Northern Ireland club previous worked for you. When I made an All-Ireland league in FM08 I kept all the Irish clubs as they were and the game crashed in and around the time the FAI League Cup was drawn. No idea why that was, but it always crashed. Only when I changed the Irish clubs as N.Irish did it eventually work.

Currently in the process of making my own LOI update for my online league. Anyone interested in me releasing it? Would be around the end of Feburary

**SkStu** · 26/12/2008, 9:27 PM

as someone who hasnt played this game since one of the earliest versions, would it be worth picking up again or has it gotten too complicated over the years?

**irishultra** · 29/12/2008, 12:07 AM

cant believe how slow it is. i'm playing a small database english premier league and **** sake the processing takes age, and the match screen is soooooo long. it sucks.

worst trouble ive had since i tried playing cm01/02 on my 1995 compaq pc.

Yes, some of it may work.

My first season ended up strangely similar to this years - Bohs won the league at a canter, Derry second, Drogs third. Elsewhere it was a different story - UCD claimed 4th spot, Cork were nowhere and Shams finished bottom after going 17 games without a win.

Stephen Paisley on a free was my only signing of note and he formed an excellent partnership with Mark McChrystal in defence (helpful after Big Clive broke his leg in pre-season). Meanwhile Sammy Morrow been the main man up front while Mark Farren's spent the season being infuriatingly inconsistent.

Great facepacks btw Niall - I used to have a pack with IRL team/competitions logos but need to re-download, anyone know where I could get them?

Also those speaking of the 50 page tactics document - I love it. The creators have released a version every year for the last four or so but this is the first time they've released quite so much (crib sheets and excel docs and all sorts) - it's extremely useful but includes plenty of room for a user to put his own stamp on a formation.

Derry won my first LOI FM09 season,Fingal in the 1st. I finished 7th with Rovers after goin the first 10 games unbeaten, could only get 1 win in 14, against Harps.

Ended up goin 7 games unbeaten. Strangely enough, i never lost a game with Dick Brush!, then he got injured for 4 months half way through season. Derry won the LC, and Drogs won the FAIC.

**harpstilidie** · 02/01/2009, 2:50 PM

Bohs won the league easily in mine with Drogs second and Galway third

I got relegated with Harps in the same order as it was in reality with UCD bottom and Cobh second bottom. Cork finished in 9th quite a good bit away from me in fairness.

I did win the league cup beating Sligo in the final and managed to beat Derry for once 2-0 but apart from that it was terrible. Took Gethins 21 games to get his first goal.

Got sacked and only Carrick Rangers

were willing to give me a job so I just started again with Harps and hopefully can keep them up this time!

Must get a wee craic at that All-Ireland database too. Looks like fun!

**harpstilidie** · 02/01/2009, 2:54 PM

Oh yeah...anymore progress on the First Division facepacks Niallsparky? Love the Premier ones...super job.

**shefellover93** · 02/01/2009, 4:27 PM

I just finished my first season with City. Drogs won it with 3 weeks to go, Bohs second, Derry third

I came 5th which the board was impressed with. I won the FAI Cup, Galway won the league cup and Drogs won the Setanta Cup (I was knocked out of the group by Drogs and Runners Up Pats)

Down the bottom of the table Bray, Cobh and Shamrock Rovers got relegated. Dundalk went up. I also won the MSC!!!

Nah you can't manage non-league teams. They are in the IFA Championship this season. Is Feeney any good for you because I was thinking of signing him in my new game?
