Football manager type game, very simplistic, two games a week, the Divots are taking over a Division 4 league in Engerland. To join the "fun", go to this link and click on the Division 4 tab and then just pick a team. Current teams are: Moo: Rochdale Stu: "Leyton" Orient Hornet: Gillingham Narkle: Crewe Pops: Swindon Elth: Tranmere Sonic: Carlisle Deej: Walsall Use this thread for all random taunting, chatter, etc and to discuss any "interesting" things with the game. Avaunt!

I just checked the first game for my O's and it's away to Rochdale.
I'll need to get a rabies shot.

Yeah, I saw that and immediately thought you'd chosen them on purpose, just so you could resign when you win it, claiming the moral high ground.

And I have Brentford. Very Rankin.

And the referee for my friendly tonight with Exeter is Algerian. How terribly cosmopolitan.

Mine is also Algerian.
Maybe the lorry wasn't stopped at customs.

Not sure how long I can cope with the Sims shagging in the corner.

Algerian here too... I presume they were on special offer.

Is 4-4-2 the only option?

Post by Moo on Feb 16, 2011 15:06:00 GMT
No. There are three tabs above the pitch screen you are looking at, team selection, and two for tactics. be warned that if you don't svae the current player changes, when you move tabs, you lose the changes.

The three tabs are out of order, really - You need to go into pre-match instructions and pick a formation, then go back to the squad and sort the players out and then go into in-match instructions and add in stuff where you change the system or mindset if you're losing or winning by X after Y minutes. The good news is that you can set up those in game changes whenever you have time and save them, then activate or deactivate them as needed before games.

To be honest, I'll probably fall away quite quickly. Having a wee bored spell at gazebo is one thing, but the pernickitiness of this will soon consign it to doom, methinks.
Not that I'm a pessimist nor nuffink.

On looking at Rochdale, I notice your change shirt is "ceramic blue."

I understand, Pops, it might be the same for a couple of us, TBH.

It's a shame nicknaming isn't possible on this, as I can see some possible va-va-voom issues arising.

Alright then. Tranmere Rovers.

My Rochdale team won 1-0 in our friendly with my star player scoring a free kick. Next up is "Leyton" Orient and Stu's bunch of dobbers. No doubt their finely tuned athletic skills will be a reflection of their manager's.
My Newcastle team managed a 2-0 win away at Hartlepool in preparation for their trip to Everton, with their squad of 90+ players. I expect a humping there.

My Swindon team dumped Exeter 3-0, 2 first-half goals did them in. A bit of a masterclass from my DMC.
Barry Bannen chose the Pres over me, so he's dead to me. I did bring in Danny Wilson. My age old CM problem arises... over sentimentality....

Stuffed by Burnley, to nobody's great surprise.
Only 3 loans? This is preposterous! I'm writing to my MP.

I hadn't thought about loanees. With my £1.9M, I'm fooking loaded and have no need for such trivial things.
I'm looking to buy Andy Carroll.
Also, I noticed Elth trying to loan a Man Utd starlet. Can you afford his wages?

I drew 0-0 with some bunch of clowns.
Hopefully I can do the same next game.

I love transfers. I forgot how much I love transfers. I predict my future: Wheel. Deal. Lose. Lose faith. Lose cash. Lose patience. Quit.
Yay™
I've got a RL Watford player, who looks a bit handy- Troy Deeney, is it?
