    Actually managed to have two games of a three game ban taken back on appeal last night, first time I've ever seen that happen!

    I remember, the first game with appeals, the first time I appealed, a ban was repelled.

    Never, not once, happened since.

    This is about the first one I've won out of about 500 appealed but I was still delighted with it. I was watching the key moments and Tommy Spurr was on a yellow when Darren Bent went past him and Tommy tugged his jersey and pulled him back. The ref deemed him to be the last man and gave him a straight red instead of a justified yellow but it was clear both Michael Ball and Ian Murray were covering. So i appealed when the red and was informed that it had been reduced to a yellow so Tommy only had to serve a one match suspension.

    I got a warning from the FA for appealing too many decisions!
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Another annoying thing in this game (not just this edition either) is when you're a goal down and you decide to go all out attack with about 20 minutes to go. So you go 3-2-3-2, go all out attack, direct balls, closing down all over the pitch, never time waste and go for it, really go for it and what happens? Nothing, not a bloody incident in the remaining 20 minutes and you just watch the clock roll down to the final whistle.

    I just came across something hilarious in FM07. One of the generated players at Den Bosch is called "Jerry Manders".

    3-2-3-2 isn't all that "all out attack" in fairness, My personal formation at present with MK Dons is the one you have as all out attack, my all out attack would be 3-1-2-4 or a variation of that.

    I was sickened recently when a young keeper I brought up from 15 to 22 with Dortmund fecked off on a free to FC Bayern.. 5 star rated too, Apparently my cup winning Dortmund team weren't "ambitious enough" for him.

    Agreed, are we allowed mention some or is that cheating or can it be justified as a robust scouting system

    I loaned a player from a premier team reserves, half way through a seaon and he has scored 21 goals never been booked and is now called the new Michael Owen

    Pique if you can get him will turn your team around, Him and Anton Ferdinand are solid at the back.

    Is there a Network Game set up for the Eircom League?

    Yes, obviously. Part of the game, and part of management in general, is taking risks on a player who looks like he could be decent, or unearthing a gem who mightn't have seemed obvious at the time. Seeing his potential rating out of 200 is one step up from editing his contract to sign for you.

    Agree with this, have never understood why people go tampering with things like the genie scout and the editor in general. I know a guy who increased Limerick FC's attraction rate to that of Man Utd and went out and signed Patrick Berger, Chris Sutton and Henrik Larsson among others (this was a few seasons ago) and then claimed his achievements in taking Limerick to the Champions League second round in two years was valid as at least he hadn't signed Henry, Zidane, Buffon and that calibre of player?!

    I remember some guy boasting on Football365 of taking a team like Forrest Green to successive promotions through to the Premier League and then of getting 3rd spot in his first season without cheating as well
