A good mention for fat camp fuckers though.
Nice results, especially HSI's goal fest toward the end.

The only sign of the F-ers so far is their name in a long list of suitors for the signature of Dallas Ploughboy. I haven't looked at the PL, to be honest. In fact, I couldn't tell you where we are in the league- we were third a couple of games ago, so.... I've been trying to organise the players and the games are just getting in the way at the moment. I'll take a decent offer for Champagne boy and perhaps It's a Phase (any ideas as to who he might be? currently plying his trade in the Premiership), but reluctant to part with Dallas who is scoring for fun. Annoying arrogant moglump he may be, but goals is goals is goals. That was the reason I brought in the Chilean- to cover for if and when Dallas pees me off totally.

Just stick their asking price to a suitable unreasonable level at which you'd just about have to accept, as any higher would risk a charge of robbery, and then sit back and wait.
It'll at least get rid of the bargain hunters.

Yes, tried that for one of them and he started whingeing that I was overpricing him, even though it was the same as his min.release. Not that I care too much, so long as I'm getting results, but a shedload of "Unh"s do psychologically unsettle a man.

I thought he was unhappy anyway You can't really get any more "Unh" than "Unh" I played a guy for about two season through Unh for homesickness once, he kept performing, never actually asked to be listed and even though the board felt he shouldn't be part of the squad, they're only directers, they knows nuffink.

It's a fair point. The fact that his "Unh" happens to be covered by a "Req" is neither her nor there. The other "Unh"s can chow on my tomkins.

Pops, try offering that Russian player/coach a direct coaching contract and see what happens. As to the offers, I used to offer above, and then just see what happens. The other thing that could affect the unh is getting promoted. I really can't see that going to happen here at all KUTUPHW unhappy promotion hunting :thumb:

H v Ross County: 4-0: Very Banana ; Champagne Frontage ; It's a Phase ; Rainy Rock
I get Manager of the Month for September too and Hope Springs Infernal is Player of the Month.
It's a Phase requests a move and I reject.
A v Hamilton: 4-3: Dallas Ploughboy 2 ; Champagne Frontage ; It's a Phase
God, when CM likes players, it really likes players, does it not.
League Cup 3rd Rd A v Dundee Utd: 1-1: Champagne Frontage aet. We lose 0-3 on penos, with our first three peno takers missing, the twats.
I loan The Mighty Anorak from Aberdeen, an MC.
Challenge Cup FINAL N v Arbroath: 3-0: Dallas Ploughboy 2 ; It's a Phase
Our loanee Hairless Plunder is subject of a bid from Livvy, so I move in and sign him first for 210k.
A v Dunfermline: 2-1: Champagne Frontage ; Hope Springs Infernal
Rangers bid 3.3m for It's a Phase. He has no min release, but I ask for 3.6m. Oh, how I come to regret this.
H v Falkirk: 2-1: Dallas Ploughboy ; Bal Die
I accept a £1m bid for Colonel Twunt from Killie and he moves on.
A v St. Mirren: 5-2: Dallas Ploughboy (his 20th of season) ; Hope Springs Infernal 2 (inc his 10th of the season) ; Champagne Frontage ; Brussels Grout (his first ever)
Great win, as we were vying for top with the Buddies.
H v Alloa: 2-1: Hope Springs Infernal 2
And then, for the love of hindsight.... Rangers had buggered off at 3.6m but suddenly It's a Phase's contract is unprotected and they offer him a contract. He signs, we get 350k comp. I could have had 3.3M! BASTARD. He will move in December.
H v Hamilton: 3-2: Rainy Rock 2 ; It's a Phase
DIV ONE: P14 W11 D2 L1 F48 A25 Pts35
Second are the Pars on 22 pts. A good head of steam we've built up. I am a little panicky that the breakup of the spine when It's a Phase moves will damage us a lot.
Son of the Carpenter plays for Scotland U21s.

Oops. I'm glad I haven't tried to figure out who he is, as he's leaving.

A big "ouch" on that one, Pops. You never had that bother on 0001, IIRC, as that feature wasn't in there, it was pre-bozzer, I think. So aye, another £3M in the Gers' pocket, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You are Graeme Souness.

That never crossed my mind... It's a whole different set of problems than Odra, and a much nicer set, it has to be said. I do worry that the AI has decided that these three players are the be-all and end-all to my team and should they move... Well, it's a bit bizarre. And crap AI or what- Wee Man has arranged a Bozzer and is buggering off in December- so what do the media report, when I put in his replacement to get him in the swing of it? "Reports that Wee Man's career at Motherwell is over as manager won't play him..." etc. Nonces.

Not good Pops, but as for the career is over bit, if it was me that was the manager , it would have been true. Anyone who bales on bozzers is stuffed sttight into the reserves. Nose, Face, Cut Off and spit come to mind. KUTGW! :thumb:

I didn't go as far as reserves, no. It's difficult playing in Scotland, knowing the guys. Said keeper went from us to Motherwell, then to ICT and signed for Cellik this year. Bada-bing. (That had nothing to do with me dropping him ) Anyway, he had started to slump, so Middlesex Jam and Ancient Loo Roll now share goalkeeping duties.

Re: It's a Phase - four clubs came in for him (I'm guessing Gers got him, maybe not) - Rangers, Everton, Middlesborough and Schalke.
He plays for one of them in real life.

Post by floplexter on Jun 28, 2007 14:13:52 GMT
I don't know why I called him that. Oh wait, now I know why I called him that. It was more to do with his nickname in real life than his actual name.
If you see what I mean.
And no, Boo.

Although why he is a DMLC in the game is beyond the ken of even God.

Cos he was about 18 when the game was released, and the Motherwell researchers were a bit crap?

I thought McFadden straight away, but couldn't get the nickname from it, so thought it wasn't.

I couldn't get the nickname from anywhere. I just guessed. Why'd you nick him so, Pops?
