Romanista1994 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Damn A week without Smylie is unthinkable Hopefully you can recover the files and get playing again soon I just did two weeks (likely to be three now). I missed the 2.000 day. 1st thread I've visited since coming back! In 4 days I will go away for another two weeks. /o\ And of course I hope you recover the files.

mista T Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Quite a good file here, I believe. I have a similar save with Albert Foundry (in the premier league, got a prolific goalscorer called Adam Rowley) but haven't won the league yet. Been finding it hard to capitalise. Might boot it up again now. You've given me the motivation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag man Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Seems I was a bit late, only just found this forum. Hopefully you get your save back though. I had a problem with my mac where the graphics died but would still boot but couldnt see anything. I used target disk mode to back everything up and had to send it away.

mista T Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm 5 games from the end of the season and top with Albert foundry, 3 points clear of Linfield. I am starting to believe I can win it for the first time ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I actually had a dream about supporting Knockbreda the other night. I was in a crowd and we (Knockbreda) were playing away from home. Everyone was chanting something and I remember being aware that Knockbreda were playing well and probably winning. There were a lot of banners in the away end but this one guy was holding up a banner with 'Knockabreda' written on it. I was absolutely outraged with his misspelling the name of the club. Can't remember if Smylie was playing or not! That'll teach me for surfing the careers forum before I go to bed. Regards, C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista T Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 that sounds like a wierd dream. I actually couldn't sleep for a while last night due to becoming champions of Northern Ireland. Some achievment, I guess, but it was the first time I had taken a team from Bottom to top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista T Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Also, does anyone know how to trigger professionalism in Northern Ireland? It would take quite a while to gain 5M in the bank, and Linfield have it even though they only have 3.7M in the bank. Anyone know (in particular NepentheZ)?

mista T Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've just thought of another achievment when (or if) you get your game back- win more premier league titles than Linfield. They've got something ridiculous, into the 50's. Would be some achievment to top them as the most succesful northern Irish club ever based on number of titles. Obviously, you have more quality with two champions leagues, but quantity....their history page is the most loaded of any club I have seen (including Celtic and Rangers and Ferencvaros) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyb1989 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I just don't know how you do it Nep! I've been running a FM08 game as Lisburn Rangers for ages now, and I'm up to about 2027 now and I still can't see how you have achieved so much! It seems like every 2 years every key player (except the home-grown ones) get stroppy and so I have to rejig my squad again. I'm in the top 50 club ratings now and reaching knockout stages of CL and EC but no reputation boost and I still can't get anyone to sign outside of eastern europe mainly. You have a super stadium too, yet I'm only at around 18000 and it only gets increased by about 3000 every two years following planning permission hiccups. So just how did you manage to get so far? Can you impart some wisdom to me to get me up to that next level? P.S My homegrown 21 year old striker just scored 88 last season in all comps, bringing him close to 300 already, NI definitely is the league to be in, though my guy is no Smylie!

NepentheZ Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Laptop : Not back yet. No news. Should get it back soon though. jacky : Great work getting that far. I got a new stadium built for me, because they wouldn't increase the old one. So that was fortunate. I also lose key players every season almost, but I have about 50 players in my reseves, all highly recommended by my scouts, so usually there is someone to fit right in. I'm trying hard to get rid the foreign players, because I want to win everything with a fully homegown squad in the next 5-10 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ism-scfc Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've just noticed Smylie's most recent value in the OP £575K? Ok,its in Northern Ireland and the quality of the league is not the best, but if you were an english club, someone with that many goals to his name in any league is worth a £1M punt surely? Not saying you would sell, because of the 3000 goal thing, but in theory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
