Fir Park (Motherwell and Gretna's home stadium) along with other SPL stadiums being waterlogged and frozen nearly every couple of weeks, causing fixture congestion in the SPL.

So I would assume if the first team has 3 matches in a week they are not that fit on the third match (if the same eleven were played). Another thing that's happened IRL that doesn't happen in the game: Rough defensive midfielders getting less bookings than skillful wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermybhoy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 You're right that's just not in the game. Other things that don't happen: players getting booked for being fouled; teams getting 9 men booked in games where they don't put in a bad tackle in the whole match; goals being allowed to stand where the scorer played basketball to control it, 3 yards from the ref; refs who book more players of one team in one game than another team in the whole season.

backpackant Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You could probably only do the drugs / criminal behaviour thing with regens anyway. Imagine if you were a Prem footballer playing FM only to be told you've been banned for drug taking! Hello, lawsuit. I agree with fixture congestion, which only seems to happen on FM when you are phenomeonally successful in all competitions. BUT you could guarantee these forums would be full of people yelling "BUG!" if frozen pitches and the like started making the game a bit more difficult. As for my two-penneth on the subject, you never see retrospective bans. Often on FM you get commentary like "Keane aimed an elbow at Toure... [pause] ... the ref is calling him over ... [pause] ... yellow card / no action", which sounds a bit lenient to me. You sometimes get bans extended, but never implemented. Think someone mentioned it earlier re additional bans for "frivolous appeals" which is where there was obviously no grounds for appeal (such as the "He started it" argument Middlesbrough failed with this season).
