Kickballz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I can't see that ever happening irl. I had the same thing happen with my Rangers game where I had an old firm game the day after an away champions league game! I thought that was pretty unlikely.

golfpunk Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I would look at reporting that in the bugs forum. There is no way the schedule should have been that hectic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not referring to the league, im referring to the organisation that run it, its called the SPL too. Also, if you look at the fixture listing in last season's run in, you'd see that this sort of fixture congestion is feasible given the incompetence of those who run the league although Rangers did postpone a league match to prepare for the match against Lyon so they did contribute to their own problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't happen! Yes, fixture congestion is a reality in many leagues but even the 'incompetents' at the SPL don't mess the fixtures up this badly. The point is this is completely unrealistic and there is absolutely no way it would ever happen. Period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is this is completely unrealistic and there is absolutely no way it would ever happen. Period. The trouble is that an extension to the season would be required and in FM game programing terms that would be awkward I guess. It wouldnt happen often anyway and I recall 2 seasons ago, or was it last season?, Rangers were forced to play every other day for 2 weeks which actually wrecked their season IRL. Several years ago Man Utd & Arsenal played on consequtive days IRL (really, they did!). They had to cram a re-arranged League Cup game in and as both teams field 2nd string XI's it was considered OK to do that. Anyone not knowing that would imagine that was a bug if it happened in FM09. Sure beats the days of an early CM / FM when I once had 2 games on the same day!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fairly serious bug for some players and ridiculing the SPL doesn't change that. You do realise that its a World Cup year and that the season cannot be extended even if the weather ****s up several rounds and a team could possibly play 60+ matches. Are matches suppose to coincide with the WC warm up matches, the WC itself? UEFA Cup matches cant be moved easy and I'm sure that league cup finals cant be either mrpurple007 post shows that isnt a fairly serious bug but more a worst case scenario and I was laughing because the SPL have a habit of getting themselves into messes like it.

R-dizzle Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The game can only do so much, if there were a lot of games to be played and as Jiggy said with the World cup they'll all have to be played at some time. Just unfortunate that you were forced to play them so close together... Perhaps to prevent this the game should allow you to appeal against fixtures... especially if you don't have a goal keeper for example to play if they're injured or aren't registered (european games) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the SPHell being run by a bunch of incompotent morons then there is every chance something like that could happen IRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misodoctakleidist Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 According to The Guardian: Surely the most absurd fixture pile-up, however, was that of Canvey Island at the end of the 2000-01 season, as pointed out by Liam McGuigan. They played their final five games of the season on the 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 May, their last eight in nine days and in all their final 12 Ryman League matches in 17 days between 18 April and 5 May. So the game is more realistic than you think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
