Football Manager 2007

With a bit of fenagling in the edit mode to remove international retirements and enable Alan Kelly, I came in 2nd in EURO 2008 with a lineup of

Kelly;Carr Harte Breen Cunningham Dunne; Holland O'Shea Duff; Keane, Doyle

Breen played a sweeper in the 5-4-1 mode with keane as attacking MF and Gary Breen as SW- that formation just kicks ass, with rubbish players we virtually never conceded

It was pretty tight at the type between myself and Nempton and went in for Stan Collymore on loan from Leicester. The two lads had their smirks wiped off their faces when I managed to get him on a season long loan deal!

I was Monaghan I'll have you know. And Nempton managed Cobh *spits*. I actually liked Paul Shiels back then too before encountering him the flesh *shudders at the memory*. I was just pleased that I managed to shake off my awful form to put a dent in both your promotion campaigns.

Well whoever the pair of ye were, you were both rubbish and mighty Drogheda spanked the pair of you

Stan Collymore?

I once got David Treseguet on loan to UCD for a season.

Granted he was 36 or something at the time but still.

At non-league level it's worse. Generally at semi-pro level where you live determines what clubs you play for. FM does not mirror that well. Plenty of transfers that go on in the game simply would not happen in reality.

Results in-game aren't too realistic either, at the moment I'm halfway into my third season in the game and Aston Villa are leading the Premiership by five points, with Bolton second. Man United and Chelsea both 10+ points off the pace. Everton won the Premiership last year and Udinese won the Champions' League. Not very likely in real life.

The FM series is quality but has plenty of issues to sort out and is frequently over-rated, in my opinion.....

I suppose thats to make the game fun !!! What would be the point of choosing Villa if it ment 10 seasons in mid table obscurity

The mighty Drogheda then memorably choked against Galway in the playoffs. In fact I think that's where your issues with GUSC truly began!

Ah Paul Shiels

Solid CM 01/02 signing

Ridiculously poor quality human being

I have a query about something.

Could I swap the teams from, say the Polish League and replace them with Irish teams, and change the Polish leagues 'nationality' to Irish, thus enabling Irish teams to get higher sponsorship money?

Increase the reputations of Irish clubs and competitions. It will have the same effect.

Has anyone played as FC Vaduz in FM07? In previous editions they were down as a Liechtenstein club and got into the UEFA Cup as Liechtenstein Cup winners... I see they are a down as a Swiss club in FM07 though, anyone know if they are still involved in the Liechtenstein Cup in the game?
