Rudyard Kiplings Patch

If you can release the patch when all about you

Are wanting theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by updating,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Patch 10.3 and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by uploading to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with windows tools;

If you can make the patch available and all the trimmings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And make the patch sexier than Jonathan Ross;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To release the patch before Pompey are gone,

And not hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can upload the patch and keep your virtue,

And let us download and not lose the common touch;

If neither CM nor FIFA Manager can hurt you;

If all men download with you, but none too much;

If you can make the patch download one minute

With sixty seconds' worth of suspensful fun -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Manager my son!

Its still not coming out today though.

Did Kipling write that in October but only release it in a readable format in March?

Its still not coming out today though.

No matter how much we beg?

Not great technically

Shouldn't you post something like: 'When is the patch out?'

particularly liked the last stanza

Not great technically

My word, he can say something different

I'd have to drop his creativity a bit as I have the original posted in my cubicle and there is very little different.

But still a good effort

I like it

NEVER thought I'd see Neji say that about an unofficial patch thread thingy

I will survive

Someone had to say it ;-)

I am just ashamed that I was the one to be able to do it.....shows how I spend my time. :o

Preferred moves: Likes to argue with officials?

(Although he is not arguing with the mods, he is "complaining" about the lack of patch).

Yikes...

Anyone else's Steam updating all of a sudden?

Nope. Mine neither.

Don't you ever do that again!

for a moment, i think, you too the shape of a unicorn.

For the full effect you need Des Lynam reading it over a montage of memorable FM 2010 moments.

Its your tactics..

I think the patch is a bit bigger than that tbh.

I was thinking more the stature of a royal funeral

Very good, reminds me of the "If" FM2008 trailer, that was a great trailer.

Must be an English thing, I didn't find it funny or good.

Very touching - brings a tear to the eye.

Very good, but it was a greater bard who wrote,

A patch by any other name is still full of bugs
