Hardin Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Just found this thread and what an awesome story... Really inspiring. I really hope that Smylie makes the 3,000 for Knockbreda and then stays on as a coach! Keep us updated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Well Done Nep! They should make a medal or something! NepentheZ - God of the funny last name regens, master of Northern Ireland, creator of Smylie.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks very much for the replies here lads It definitely makes it worth ignoring FM10 to carry on with this save, when I get humbled with such amazing responses. I am immensely proud that Smylie has reached 3,000 goals. Who would have thought it. I don't think I'm close to finding someone to getting 3,000 again, let alone 5,000 - quite simply because, I don't dominate teams like I used to any more. In fact, this current campaign, will be mighty close as to weather or not I win the league. (well, thats how it looks 20 games in). But yeah, Smylie to 3,000 Club goals is my next target. After that, who know If I keep playing him, maybe he will carry on 'till he is 40. I just need to get the N. Irish job to give him 2 more Caps so that he becomes the all time cap holder, as well as goal scorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks guys I've got an update to come soon, but I've been so busy since I got back off of my holiday, that I've not played a single day of the game in 5 days FWIW : Smylie is only 25 club goals away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Sounds good Nep! I know what it's like to have a lack of a great goalscorer, i've barely had time to play FM09 and try and get Bernard Brennan to 1,000 recently. I've played about 3 months of 12 in a new season, 2 of which have been simming the summer and pre-season Damn coursework and revision!

NepentheZ Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I see your biggest defeat was against the Super Saints Anyways, super stuff Well done Yeah That was the first year I ever made it to the All Ireland Cup C'mon Smylie, score 24 then retire By the way, how is that Raymond Bell guy getting on? Not progressing like I'd hoped. I sent him out on loan last season, and he scored 12 in 24 (which isn't great, for the loan club he went to) - and his attributes have declined in the last 12 months. I don't think he's going to be my next big thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Hacker Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Come on Smylie. Sorry if I am being thick, but what was the significance of him scoring his goals against that team? Did you sign him from there or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El007 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 He took over Dungiven with another manager to try and improve the league structure. Here it is http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=150455 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 They're the other team I manage After a while, it got too easy with Knockbreda, they people suggested I should try and do the same with another team, while managing Knockbreda. So, Dungiven were the first team I had the chance to take over (A team with no history, and never been in the leagues) - and that took about 5 years to wait for So yeah, thats why.

Irish Player of the Year - Youth Player 1 The Records Andrew Smylie - Most League Apps (495) The Player Andrew Smylie - Another 55 goals from the 37 year old. Now only 25 goals away from 3,000 club career goals. Youth Player 1 - 14 years he's spent as Smylies partner up front so far. The guy is already 30, and thats crazy. I thought Smylie would bow out age 33 or 34, and that YP1 would take the glory years for a good 7 or 8 seasons, but Smylie keeps ploughing on. YP1 has been getting the awards recently, due to Smylies demise, and hopefully, he will go onto his 1,000 career goals, and put himself right up there alongside Wallace and Smylie. Summary A very, very difficult season. I lost a couple of games I shouldn't have, my first game in 33 seasons in the League Cup, and Drew far too many in the league. It was close right up to about match day 25, when Linfield finally began to drop points, and allow me to take top spot. A tense season, the sooner Smylie hits 3,000, the better, because I need a 100% Striker there in the coming seasons, not an old boy FWIW : After this, and posting this in Gundo's Challenge thread, it will make me have 14,999 posts. I will not post again, until its a screenshot of Smylie scoring his 3,000th goal. So if he some how doesn't ever make it. Its goodbye from me. I've had fun posting on the forums, but I think it will be fitting to make Smylie's 3,000th goal, my 15,000th post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know though, those 2 extra caps to make him N Irelands all time cap holder, might come. What a relief..!! I thought I might never get to post on the forums again.
