Thanks for the heads-up, mate.

The Mike Bassett TV series has a storyline about Wirral County signing a striker who was actually a goalkeeper. Feel like Al the Sheep might be the opposite.

Valencia party-pooper. Again. What's VAR going to rule this out for, then?

After 15 minutes, more goalkeepers have already been booked at Qatar 2022 than in Football Manager 2023.

"I think the VAR got it spot-on, Fletch."

Offside against the invisible Ecuadorian.

Valencia party-pooper.

5.. 4... oh, they've kicked off already.

Don't forget they also mentioned Enner Valencia (once of West Ham and Everton). Do any of the Beeb's pundits (other than Alex, obvs) watch OTHER leagues?

Paquador, Paquador, Paquador, Paquador...

Today, Gianni feels like a master of ceremonies.

It took place an hour ago. You didn't miss much.

The BBC will spend 30 minutes talking about England and Wales, and about three minutes talking about Qatar and Ecuador. You just know it. Always happens.

BBC with a decent VT at the start, to be fair. (But the less said about the intro titles, the better. Vomit.) And a reminder that Blatter actually awarded "the 2-22 World Cup" to Qatar. We've been calling this whole tournament wrong the whole time!

Have Qatar literally brought back every mascot and every theme tune from every past World Cup for this ceremony? Are they bringing out all the old World Cup stars too? "Lucien Laurent scored the first ever World Cup goal in 1930... AND HE'S HERE TONIGHT!"

The FIFA fantasy site is a bit of a pain to navigate this year... but heck, I'm in.

Won't be a great opening game. Can imagine both teams will be very nervous. Qatar aren't as bad as some people think, and I reckon they scrape a 1-0 win - with or without a Nishimura-esque referee.

Just watched it. Vomit. Even worse than ITV 2006. Surely ITV can come up with something decent?

FIFA are just beyond parody at this point.

I've played through nearly a season-and-a-half on FM23 and... yeah, I am not enjoying this game very much. As others have said, this FM23 match engine has the potential to be the best ME yet. I like that more mistakes are being made more often, and that weaker teams don't keep passing the ball between their defensive players to rack up ridiculous passing stats anymore. Non-league teams don't play so much like top-flight teams anymore... but once again, SI seem to have massively overcorrected things, and now the opposite is happening. I'm managing a team in La Liga, but far too often, I'm seeing high-quality players look completely incompetent on the ball. Defenders in particular are prone to making silly gaffes in very dangerous positions that often lead to goals, like this, this and this. Sweeper keepers also have an alarming tendency to charge out of their area without reason, leading to situations like this. I'm also regularly seeing defenders hold the ball up and literally stop play for about five seconds before making a decision on what to do next. All the while, opposition players don't hassle them with nearly enough urgency. In real life, I couldn't imagine John Stones stopping the ball dead for five seconds to catch his breath while Roberto Firmino says, "In your own time, John..." And then something like this happens. wakeupwilliam.mp4 Good job, William Carvalho. Players seem to be completely unaware of their own surroundings. They might take no notice of an obvious pass to them, or they might even move away from the ball. Other times, a long ball might hit them in the back. This goal - scored FOR my Betis team when we played Getafe - was the moment where I really began to ask myself, "Is this match engine even fit for purpose?" farce.mp4 I am usually very quick to defend SI (I've been called a fanboy more times than I can count) or justify why bad/weird things happen in the game. But I really am struggling to be constructive about this ME, which is probably the most bugged I can ever remember seeing in FM. I would expect to see bugs like these in another game like Soccer Manager (seriously, folks, play that for an hour or two; its ME is genuinely insane). Of course, I've reported a lot of these issue to SI through the Bug Tracker. I would probably have time to find more if my computer wasn't running/sounding like death warmed up. Outside of the ME, I hate the new scouting system - it feels like SI tried to fix something that wasn't broken and made a complete mess of it. For one thing, when you set up a recruitment focus and don't set a specific area/competition for your scouts to focus on, they will usually just go through all the major countries in alphabetical order and scout them in turn. They'll scout a load of Argentinians to start with and then a bunch of Austrians, Belgians, Brazilians, etc... The User Interface seriously needs an overhaul - not necessarily because it looks the same as it did on FM19 or whatever, but just because there are so many frustrating UI bugs and glitches, many of which have gone unaddressed for YEARS. And as for those issues that have been addressed... let's say that 'improving' the set piece editor by making the shirts bigger is like 'improving' a Michael Bay film by adding MORE explosions. So many things are so buggy right now that I'm actually considering playing on a custom skin for the very first time if I start a long-term save in the new year. Note that I said if, not when. That's how disillusioned I feel about the game right now. This is the 4th time in 7 years that I've played FM from the beta release (FM17/19/21/23). Every previous beta has felt like a full release, just with some rough edges. But we're now on the full version of FM23 and it still feels like a beta to me. I still hope that SI can sort out most of these issues for the big winter update and make FM23 an enjoyable experience, but until then, I might as well go back to FM22.

APRIL 2006 Despite surpassing expectations once again, the mood at Victoria Road had turned sour as we headed into the final few weeks of the season. Having picked up just one point from our last three games - including a 5-2 pantsing at Wrexham - we were now barely clinging onto a Division 2 play-off place. The Wrexham defeat had left me particularly furious. Goalkeeper Robert Green, left-back Kerry Mayo, and midfielders Des Hamilton and Nick Weekes were all fined and dropped for our next fixture. This meant a recall for former captain Damien Lacey, who hadn't featured since January and was perhaps fearing that he'd played his final match for the Daggers. Our run-in started at home to relegation-threatened Barnsley. The Tykes were down in 23rd and were soundly beaten when we visited Oakwell in December, but would Roy Keane's side get their revenge - and turn us into April fools? 1 APRIL 2006: Dagenham & Redbridge vs Barnsley We certainly looked like fools in front of a capacity Victoria Road crowd after 18 minutes. Barnsley player-manager Roy Keane had a header saved by Mike Pollitt, but just moments later, his young Dutch winger Edwin van den Heuvel drove in his first senior goal. Though Barnsley striker Isaiah Rankin came off with a leg injury two minutes after the opener, the Tykes grew from strength to strength in the first half. Goalkeeper Phil Imray retained their lead by saving from Craig Winter in the 22nd minute, and midfielder Roberto Bisconti extended it in the 37th after a mistake from Spencer Prior. It was Bisconti's first goal of the season, because of course it bloody was. David Graham pulled a goal back for us just before half-time, thanks to a fine assist from Winter. Despite that, I was still furious that we were trailing 2-1 at home to a team who looked like they were dropping into Division 3. During the break, I replaced the disappointing Alan McLean with another young midfielder coming through the Daggers ranks - Mark Jones. Pollitt just about stopped substitute Rory Fallon from putting Barnsley 3-1 up in the 57th minute. Mike's save was particularly important eight minutes later, when we hit the visitors on the counter. Jones outjumped ex-West Ham defender Scott Minto and knocked Ryan Carter's long ball down to Winter, who drove in the equaliser - his 20th goal of the season! A hectic climax saw both teams waste opportunities to take a 3-2 lead. Graham scooped over what looked like our best chance in the 83rd minute... but one more came our way just three minutes later. Damien Lacey's cross was flicked on by Winter and then Jones, before Julian Alsop raised the roof with a powerful strike! We had recovered from 2-0 down to take a priceless victory! Dagenham & Redbridge - 3 (D Graham 41, Winter 65, Alsop 86) Barnsley - 2 (van den Heuvel 18, Bisconti 37) Division 2, Attendance 6,000 - POSITIONS: Dag & Red 3rd, Barnsley 23rd DAG & RED LINE-UP (4-3-1-2): Pollitt; Hawkins, Prior, Matthews (Maher), Ryan; McLean (M Jones), Lacey, Carter; Winter; Mwaruwari (Alsop), D Graham. Had that comeback given us the momentum we needed to push on and secure a play-off place? We would go seven points clear of 7th-placed Peterborough if we could win our midweek clash with mid-table Rochdale. 5 APRIL 2006: Dagenham & Redbridge vs Rochdale The first half of this match was almost completely dominated by the Daggers... so it won't surprise you that it finished goalless. Nick Weekes and David Graham each spurned decent openings, while Julian Alsop was being kept quiet by excellent man-marking from Rochdale's captain Miika Koppinen. At the other end, Dale had one shot on target - Claus Bech Jørgensen's 11th-minute corner, which was tipped over by Mike Pollitt. Nine minutes into the second half, though, our fortunes changed. Graham might have been denied by a firm slide tackle from Tom Heath, but Craig Winter - who else? - thundered in the rebound to break the deadlock. Winter didn't just settle for one goal, as he doubled his money almost immediately. Alsop finally escaped Koppinen's clutches and provided the cross for Craig to fire home! Though Winter blazed over a potential hat-trick goal in the 75th minute, we did score a third goal in the closing stages to clinch victory. Weekes came alive with a clever chip to substitute Benjani Mwaruwari, whose volley completed one of our finest halves of the season! Dagenham & Redbridge - 3 (Winter 54,55, Mwaruwari 90) Rochdale - 0 Division 2, Attendance 5,982 - POSITIONS: Dag & Red 3rd, Rochdale 11th DAG & RED LINE-UP (4-3-1-2): Pollitt; Hawkins (McQuade), Prior, Matthews, Ryan; Weekes, Lacey, Carter; Winter; Alsop (M Jones), D Graham (Mwaruwari). Three goals in consecutive games took us up to 81 goals for the season - the joint-highest total in Division 2 this season. We were level at the top with 4th-placed Wrexham... and 12th-placed Bristol City, whom we faced at Ashton Gate. To try and quell City's attacking threat, I decided to try out a 4-1-3-2 formation for the first time, with Lacey sitting in the hole between defence and midfield. 8 APRIL 2006: Bristol City vs Dagenham & Redbridge My tactical plans were undermined after just seven minutes, when Ryan Carter pulled back on Bristol City midfielder Dominique van Dijk and conceded a penalty. Up stepped City captain Paulo Roberto Rink, who beat Mike Pollitt for his 25th goal of the season. Thanks to a string of misses from Daggers strikers Julian Alsop and Benjani Mwaruwari, the German veteran's goal would make the difference at half-time. Our wastefulness continued until well into the second half. It took us until the 80th minute to even get a shot on target, and even then, Mwaruwari's volley didn't exactly trouble John Karelse in the Robins goal. Fortunately, Benjani got another chance four minutes later - and when he headed substitute Alan McLean's cross into the net, it appeared we'd stolen a draw from Ashton Gate! Alas, Bristol City hit back straight from the kick-off. Young winger Alan Gray swivelled skilfully on the ball and then crossed to the Robins' long-serving midfielder Tommy Doherty, who beat Pollitt to head it home. The hosts celebrated wildly, and then cruised through the remaining few minutes to complete their win. Bristol City - 2 (Rink pen7, Doherty 85) Dagenham & Redbridge - 1 (Mwaruwari 84) Division 2, Attendance 8,123 - POSITIONS: Bristol City 10th, Dag & Red 3rd DAG & RED LINE-UP (4-1-3-2): Pollitt; Walsh, Maher, Matthews, Ryan (Hawkins); Lacey (McLean); Weekes, Winter, Carter; Alsop (D Graham), Mwaruwari. BOOKED: Carter. Two shots on target, two goals conceded. With that, Mike Pollitt's latest - and possibly last - run in the Daggers goal was over. The gap between us and 7th and been whittled back down to four points. The pressure was back on us ahead of a home meeting with third-from-bottom Tranmere. 15 APRIL 2006: Dagenham & Redbridge vs Tranmere Rovers Tranmere had the game's first shot on goal after two minutes, but Leslie Hughes' wayward half-volley would also be their last. The rest of the match was all about our attacks. A couple of midfield strikes from Alan McLean were saved by Rovers goalkeeper David Preece, who also kept out an effort from Julian Alsop. We had our best spell of the match just before the hour mark. Benjani Mwaruwari drew another fine save from Preece and won a corner, which Tranmere struggled to clear out of harm's way. When Craig Winter's cross was finished by Alsop, it looked like we'd finally broken the deadlock... until the referee's linesman raised his flag for offside. Our fortunes didn't change in the final 30 minutes. Benjani still couldn't find a way past Preece, who had joined Rovers from Dundee United in January. Frustrations boiled over in the closing stages, as both David Graham and Damien Lacey joined Spencer Prior in the ref's book for clumsy injury-time fouls. On that note, Victoria Road witnessed its first 0-0 draw in nearly two-and-a-half years. Dagenham & Redbridge - 0 Tranmere Rovers - 0 Division 2, Attendance 5,978 - POSITIONS: Dag & Red 3rd, Tranmere 22nd DAG & RED LINE-UP (4-3-1-2): Green; Hawkins, Prior, Matthews, Mayo; Carter (M Jones), Lacey, McLean; Winter; Alsop (D Graham), Mwaruwari. BOOKED: Prior, D Graham, Lacey. Though it looked like we'd dropped two crucial point, we actually went a further point ahead of Peterborough in 7th place after they were beaten 3-1 at Hull. With four games to go, that all-important gap was now five points. Shrewsbury were just inside the play-off spot, with a marginally better goal difference than Peterborough. The Shrews looked to consolidate their place in the top six when they entertained us on Easter Monday at Gay Meadow, where I gave a first start to Mark Jones. The 18-year-old midfielder had been pretty solid during most of his five substitute appearances so far this season. 17 APRIL 2006: Shrewsbury Town vs Dagenham & Redbridge Shrewsbury had beaten us at Victoria Road earlier in the season, and after 15 minutes, they came very close to taking the lead in this game as well. Marc Edworthy's cross from right-back found left-back Scott Stamps, whose strike cannoned off the underside of the crossbar before Damien Lacey cleared. The rest of the first half was more of a street fight than a football match. Dagenham left-back Peter Hawkins slid through Graham Kavanagh with both feet in the 22nd minute - and just four minutes later, Shrewsbury forward Nick Evans put his fingers into Spencer Prior's eyeballs! Incredibly, the referee decided to only give yellow cards to Hawkins and Evans. What would you have to do to get a red card from him - decapitate the goalkeeper?! After another booking for Edworthy in the 60th minute, tensions finally simmered, and we got on with the job at hand. Nine minutes later, Lacey chipped the ball into the Shrews' penalty area, where Benjani Mwaruwari's fierce shot broke the deadlock. Could we now hold on? With nine minutes to go, Shrewsbury launched one last attack. Northern Irish forward Steven Thompson tried to score from distance, only to be thwarted by Robert Green, who was determined to keep his second consecutive clean sheet. With Green in such fine form, and Lacey dictating the midfield, the rest of the match was surprisingly comfortable. Shrewsbury Town - 0 Dagenham & Redbridge - 1 (Mwaruwari 69) Division 2, Attendance 7,135 - POSITIONS: Shrewsbury 7th, Dag & Red 3rd DAG & RED LINE-UP (3-5-2): Green; Maher, Prior, Matthews; Hawkins (Walsh), Mayo; M Jones (Winter), Lacey, Weekes (McLean); Alsop, Mwaruwari. BOOKED: Hawkins. While Shrewsbury had lost their play-off spot, we were now on the brink of securing ours. Two more points from our final three matches would do the job. Our first opportunity to extend our season was back at Victoria Road, against a Peterborough side who'd just leapfrogged the Shrews into the top six. Could we deliver when it mattered most? 22 APRIL 2006: Dagenham & Redbridge vs Peterborough United We instantly streamed forward and took the game to Barry Fry's Posh boys. Julian Alsop couldn't control his header in the 2nd minute, but he was more assured in assisting Craig Winter a minute later. Our attacking midfield goal machine comfortably beat Daniel Connor in the visiting goal, and we were 1-0 up. Winter eyed up a brace midway through the first period. After Craig skilfully skinned Peterborough captain Graham Bowater to go clean through, Connor had to come off the goal line to parry his shot. However, Winter made light work of the rebound, doubling our lead and moving on to 24 goals this season! And 2-0 was how it finished. Peterborough had their opportunities to get back in the game, but an inspired Robert Green shut them out superbly. Meanwhile, substitute David Graham had three excellent chances to extend our winning margin - two were saved, and the third unfortunately hit the bar. Not that any of that mattered, because Winter's first-half brilliance had done just what we needed! Dagenham & Redbridge - 2 (Winter 3,22) Peterborough United - 0 Division 2, Attendance 5,968 - POSITIONS: Dag & Red 3rd, Peterborough 6th DAG & RED LINE-UP (4-3-1-2): Green; Walsh, Maher, Matthews, Mayo; Weekes, Lacey, McLean (Carter); Winter (Prior); Alsop, Mwaruwari (D Graham). Good work, lads. We were now confirmed in the Division 2 play-offs, which meant we could relax for our last two games of the regular season. Our penultimate match was at the Madejski Stadium against Reading, who were still firmly in a fight against relegation. I decided to give Craig Winter a well-earned rest and play a youthful midfield of Ryan Carter, Alan McLean and the returning Paul Graham. Mark Jones was on the bench alongside his fellow Welsh teenager Chris Griffiths. 29 APRIL 2006: Reading vs Dagenham & Redbridge Benjani Mwaruwari was kept off the scoresheet after just six minutes by a fingertip save from Reading keeper Erwin Lemmens. Keen not to be overshadowed by his Belgian counterpart, Robert Green produced a couple of blinding saves of his own later on, stopping winger Chris Holland and midfielder Alex Nyarko from putting the Royals ahead. After a goalless first period, Reading started the second half strongly. Holland's low cross in the 53rd minute presented an opportunity to midfield substitute Joe Gamble, whose dangerous effort clipped the post. After that, I decided to freshen up our midfield, replacing a disappointing Alan McLean with the more energetic Mark Jones. Tensions rose as the game wore on, with Green doing everything in his power to keep Reading off the scoresheet and extend his clean-sheet run to four games. Holland was frustrated once again, as were left-back Chris Makin and striker Simon Buckley. Then, in the 82nd minute, we produced a counter-attack from out of almost nowhere. Julian Alsop took the ball from Michael Walsh on the right-wing and then drilled it to the near post, where it was tapped in by... Mark Jones! The 18-year-old's first competitive goal had won us the game, and secured us a 3rd-place finish - at worst! Reading - 0 Dagenham & Redbridge - 1 (M Jones 82) Division 2, Attendance 15,387 - POSITIONS: Reading 20th, Dag & Red 2nd DAG & RED LINE-UP (4-3-1-2): Green; Maher (Rose), Prior, Matthews; Walsh, Mayo; Carter, McLean (M Jones), P Graham; Mwaruwari (Griffiths), Alsop. I had to double-check the table on Ceefax at full-time, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I honestly had no idea that we were even still in the race for automatic promotion, let alone that we had overtaken Port Vale into 2nd on goal difference! But there it was in black and white... well, in black and white and cyan, to be more precise. As things stand, Dagenham & Redbridge are 90 minutes away from playing in Division 1. And who do we play in our final game of the season? Port Vale - at Victoria Road. One match to decide automatic promotion! You couldn't write it!
