Southgate reminds me of an NFL coach - very methodical and organised and very often risk averse. I thought Italy were there for the taking in the 1st half - they could barely string two passes together. He needs to learn how to kill good teams off I think.
I think when Italy came out for the 2nd half they were much improved and controlled things. I think you're right when you say Mancini made good tactical choices.
He is an NFL fan and regularly pops up at the Superbowl. I'm pretty sure he has talked about watching NFL coaching sessions and what he has taken from that to soccer.

No obviously not. Straw
Oh, was the poor management comment regarding Southgate bringing Sancho and Rashford for a penalty? Apologies if so.

As someone very looking forward to celebrating joy of England losing I feel stolen.
Cannot take joy in that of the type I hoped. 3 young black men left exposed by poor management before a support which has a vile racist element, and an even bigger section which if not racist racist still turns to racist insults.
Not to mention elements of England politics happy Rashford misses given the political problems he makes for them by being a decent man.
What a scorched earth outcome for everyone bar Italians. Very frustrating.
What on earth? You are saying Southgate shouldn't have allowed black players to take penalties because they could be abused if they missed?
There is plenty to criticise about Southgate's game management, but that's a bit over the top.

I get it some of you are England supporters, but how the heck can anyone who watched or played football can really argue that was a Penalty? VAR really a joke in this one, they didnt even called him to have a look. If this is the way you want it to come home...
Plenty of English fans saying it wasn't a pen. Most probably.

They aren't racists, they are taking a stand.

Have a day off fella
I'm guessing it's been a tough day if you're reacting to Ryan. Have a beer, relax. You'll be back to ignoring him like the rest of us soon enough.

Considering what it is, the video in the op is actually pretty crap.

I believe this sort of thing can happen if you have anti-virus software running when playing FM.

I'm pretty sure players and staff are less unclined to travel a large distance for a part time role. So getting Carrick to professional status may be your only option. Good luck.

Sounds like a good problem to have.

Club Vision is ludicrous. Got promoted with West Brom and they changed the vision to include defensive and counter attacking football. Complete opposite of how we got promoted. They completely refused to allow me to change it. Now, I get that a board may decide to attempt to impose a style of play, but the end result of my attempts to change it was basically 'this is it, like it or lump it'. I should at least have the option to say that I refuse to work under those circumstances, and give an ultimatum.
Absolutely idiotic that after five years in the Championship a board would completely alienate the manager that finally got them up by demanding he play the complete opposite style of football he is known for. This is after leaving Celtic, after a new board splurted a third of the £200m I'd carefully built up, while still having success, on players I didn't need or want.

Looks like a promise they made similar to Perez at Madrid.
That's not the point. They are judging the player on a transfer he had nothing to do with.

It's clearly not funny, boomer humour if you will, but are people genuinely outraged by it?
It's more embarrassing than offensive to be fair.

If a player is going to get a lesser wage at their new club, they can now ask you for a lump sum payment to make up for what they would have earned if they had stayed. I have usually had it happen when I have actively sold someone, rather than them asking to leave.
As for the ghost release clause, I have no idea. Maybe get a new assistant manager?

Sorry, but this is an irrelevant rant that isn't for a league specific forum or even bug specific area of the forum. Yes of course there are some situations with fixture congestion in rare situations - much rarer than "99% of users" as you say - where there has to be multiple fixtures played in a short space of time in FM. We've seen that this week in real life with Man Utd.
What I meant was, in situations where there isn't an essential need to squeeze fixtures in, the game won't allow situations of two games in two or three days, the code will attempt to move the fixtures. There would also be issues with our AI team selection and conditioning - though this would be for a different area of the forum if we needed to make changes here.
So what I was trying to ascertain was whether in Northern Ireland there are deliberately fixtures on consecutive days - which to be honest I'm still not clear on! If anyone could answer this then please do. It seems to have been suggested above there is a Steel & Sons cup game on Christmas Day and a league derby on Boxing Day, though perhaps I have misunderstood.
The teams competing in the Steel and Sons Cup are not top flight teams, so the top division derby days would not impact upon it.

@SouthCoastRedCould you inform your friends at Oakhaven that we are not some backwater, third rate part of the UK in Northern Ireland. We have counties! That's twice now I've been searching up and down for County Down, only to find they've lumped us in with those other, peasant, counties as one combined Northern Ireland.

£930? Okay folks, we can make it a thousand, I'm putting in another £20, so just £50 to find.

As a fellow Southampton fan, at least it's a different group of men making him cry this time...
Southampton haven't had a player you could call a man since Radhi Jaidi.

If either of you win the vouchers. I can just imagine the Monday meeting. So. In donations we received £800, a copy of FM2009, a copy of that free FM 00/01 that a newspaper gave away 20 years ago and whatever the hell this is from some fella who goes by the name ‘bliss.’
Some old codger all excited to fire up FM 09, and take Werthers Wanderers to Champion's League glory, only to find it is already linked to another Steam account.

Neither's that. The prize is there to be won. Good has been done from this already, and someone might bloody need that £15 for something.
In fact I fully support whoever wins choosing not to be named if they want, and I'm sure @Weezerwould oblige in not making it public 👍
I wasn't being serious, I know as well as anyone that £15 at the right time can seem like a fortune. I wouldn't judge anyone for taking it.
What a pity the forum doesn't have a system to let people know you're joking when posting, like a little colourful face to show the emotion you intended in the post.
