Very nicely set out and much appreciated .

No problem

If I've missed your career off (not intentionally!) or you want to add something which may be useful then please let me know as I'm responsible!

Wait. There are rules here?

In the original FMCU HQ,there was only two rules which were rule 4 and 5 on this list.Rule 1 is more for common sense,rule 2 to ensure there will not be any favouritism so we are all equal bar the mods.Rule 3 is to try and help keep the abuse away which rarely happens anyway.

It's nothing too serious,don't want FMCU to become too unruly now do we

Lay down the law .

so we are all equal bar the mods.

That's right .

If everyone is treated the same does a banning for one mean we're all banned?

Seriously though, good work and well set out

If SRL88 gets any more power hungry then probably I guess I could have worded it better,I did this while I was half asleep

All those years studying business and ICT finally came in use!

This is great, thanks!

My Friggin' Career is my first ever contribution to the FMCU - and I've learnt a lot from other threads as I've gone along. I'm almost looking forward to FM14 so I can start a new one and keep it much more neat & organised, and informative!

I'm glad I found this place because reading other peoples FM stories is way more fun than it sounds...

This place being so friendly is what attracted me here,it's always had a togetherness here.I used to post in the CSE forum before finding FMCU.

I agree with reading other people's career is more fun then it sounds,I read everyone even if I don't always comment on them

I would agree with the above. Some of the forums on here can be a bit...niche. Although there are rules in this one too, they're not too strictly enforced, and everything is very friendly and welcoming to those who want to write.

Yeah I would say this is the nicest place on the forum. No cliques and people just trying to help .

Yep, this is definitely my sort of place, shared interest in playing a lot, sharing our adventures, looking at a bunch of others, plenty of activity and a mature, fun friendly atmosphere.

Can you replace my thread with my new save please?

It can be found here.

Many thanks.

Updated it for you fella

Thanks mate.

This forum is definitely the best one on this site, by a country mile. We are developing quite a community and there is no clique, hounding of others or elitism, unlike other sub forums.

And it is run by me .

Yep, every forum has its downside.

Back at the start, I seem to remember one or two people being hostile to the idea of monthly updates - or certainly ones that covered literally every match.

These days that kind of thread is quite common and I wouldn't personally want to do one any other way. I find it the most fun way.

It's true that following other people's careers is more fun than you'd think. It actually inspires me to start my own careers and I find I'm much better these days at accepting defeat without throwing a tantrum since I started seeing other people take it on the chin.

I remember a few people really not liking it when people posted about every match. As you say monthly updates is probably the most common way to post about a career on here and I think the current crop of regulars would like people to just write up their career in whatever format they'd like to. I think this forum has also made me take defeat better, when I got relegated with Chapecoense I'd have been furious and wanted to quit but since I had people wanting to know how I get on I carried on and took it on the chin.

This is easily the best forum around and I think the most helpful towards other forum members even the newbies!

I personally couldn't care less how people post. It is up to them how they do it. Even though this year I am not posting as much as I was last year, I am still lurking about and reading people's threads.

I write everything up the way I do because I prefer it that way, but it doesn't mean I dislike the way others do it. That is what makes this place unique .

I'd agree with that. Once I post in my thread, I have to carry on.

Also, the advice and support from this community is down right bloody brilliant.

**** off ******.

Better add a safety wink to show I don't mean what I wrote and I am trying to be mildly amusing.

I'll let you off,us youngsters have to respect our elders

Aye. In the past, if I'd got to "very insecure" or "precarious" on the job status, I probably would have resigned on the grounds of "jump before you're pushed." Think this forum has shown every career has ups and downs (well, except for Raware careers. ), so just try to push on even as the board are already looking for your replacement.

As much as I hate losing titles on the final day of the season, or cups on penalties, it's those defeats that make the victories so much sweeter. The same applies with jobs in the game: enjoy the good times as the next sacking is just around the corner (never more so than when playing in Italy!)

Reading this forum has certainly broadened my FM perspective though, which is great. My old method of playing the game meant that I'd only find myself in the UK or Italy, yet thanks to a little encouragement from FMCU I'm pretty much happy to get sacked anywhere now!

As someone who has been playing for years before coming on, I've already well developed my own way of playing and suchlike (even though the sort of long-term pan-European careers you guys are familiar with from me took a couple of years to really get into doing), so there isn't an awful lot to be picking up. Like Jason says, I have changed my approach a few things, like not resigning shortly before a relegation is confirmed to avoid the career-damaging black mark, and jumping before being pushed in general (same reason), though there are still times when I feel genuinely depressed with how things are going and leave.

While my 'on-going' narrative style is different from most (and probably will still be writing the long career diary without a thread to update), I hope I'm able to share the ongoing sense of adventure, and have tried to adapt it to make it easier on other people, with more screenshots, split into sections for each match, and taking on board an idea someone had early on to have month titles and match scores in bold, as a good balance between text and other things. I do feel warm when people do comment (especially as mine are not the busiest threads for that, which I don't mind), and especially when B.W.G, gave me my only (so far) OP shout-out, along side the usual excellent suspects that people cite as inspiration. It's a bit like success being sweeter when it's less frequent.

Yeah I had been playing for years before I joined on here and the forums open your eyes up to a lot of things about FM that I probably wouldn't have thought about.

The feedback I got from my FM12 save was absolutely insane in a really good way which just makes me want to continue writing more.

I never used to do journeyman saves. In fact, given that it's not technically accurate, I used to never even call them journeyman saves. But now it's all I say and the only way I'll play. It's awesome wondering where you'll end up next and, in that sense, even a sacking can feel like an opportunity.

Nice work BWG.

I've been away for a month or so, so I only just noticed. My apologies.

It's no problem

Any chance of sticking my Chelsea thread into the one club section?

My save is missing.

It's technically a European Journeyman save as there's an outside chance of me moving to a continental club during the save.

Any chance it can be added?

Link your threads in here lads. Makes it easier .

Don't worry about the links as I've been through them and added them Just let me know if I've missed any or you've decided to stop playing so I am able to edit it.

Cheers for changing my thread in here, man. I'll give you a shout if I get my old save working again (I've not given up hope yet, and as both careers are very different I could easily manage both at the same time).

If you feel like adding a new thread, you can always add this one

Hi, I've read quite a few careers on here, and want to transfer my career from sortitoutsi onto this site - because this site is much busier, basically. I feel my career suits this type of

updating etc.

Okay, so my question is, you see people do that code thing on here. Is it easy to do, to setup something I can simplify my career with, like a lot of you on this site? When someone helps me with this, I will post my story on here, possibly tonight, as long as someone replies on here.

Hello mate. Welcome to the forums first off .

So is the thing you are looking to do this?:

Hello Cheik It Out

Yes it is an easy thing to do, but if you want it looking neat it just takes a bit of faffing around. The way to do it is

 *type any message* [ / code]

If you find someones code that you like, you can quite easily just click 'Reply with Quote' to a post and copy & paste it, but when you have typed in what you want, ensure you are on the 'Go Advanced' when typing and preview your post so it looks the way you want.

Hope that is enough information. If not, just ask .

Thanks! I looked into it last night, and found out how to use it anyway. I think I have sorted that out.

Is there anyway to edit you first update of your thread? So could I update my table in the code thing, or would a mod have to do that?

You can edit your own posts (though not thread titles).

Why we are prohibited to post CA and PA of players? Not that I'm going to do this*, I'm just curious.

* I don't even know how to check this in regens case.
