Navie Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 ...your making love to your girlfiend/wife while in bed and watching your team play the match on FM...hoping your strikers finally get a shot on goal. Finally 1 of your strikers gets a shot on goal and you shout "I nearly scored!!", your wife then says "How can you nearly score with a soft tackle?", you then realise that your teams tackling has to be set to hard in order for your strikers get more possession and get more scoring chances. You set your teams tackling to hard and then finally score, your wife replies "You finally did it!", you reply "I know...I haven't been this excited since I scored 10 league games ago".

cylenium Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 When you try and add promising young footballers as friends on facebook. Then when they dont accept get angry because they are ungreatful b*****ds and YOU made them the players they are today but I reality your just a grown man harrasing a 15 yr old boy (how did it come to this ). When you go to a match irl and "scout" individual players ie watching them off the ball (Thereby missing half the match), then getting so excited by their movment, positioning, workrate ect you rush home to take them out of you reserves (where they have been rotting for a few years) and straight into the first team until you realise they is a valid reason you never played them. When your FM pre-season almost takes up a real life pre-season. When you start rating EVERYTHING out of 20. When you make yourself ill on a diet of Pringles and Dr pepper, just because you didnt want cooking to get in the way of a 48 hour FM marathon. Don't even ask what I did to avoid toilet time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schotsmannetje Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Your right on three things here.1. You can be better than Rafa 2. You're playing as Liverpool 3. Your using a mac! :) I know this is not the time and place for a Liverpool discussion, but isn't Rafa just a pain in the behind? Such beautiful players, but such ugly football. And when is he EVER going to buy a decent winger? It's so predictable, everything goes through the center. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norville Rodgers Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I've never forgotten the wonderful admission of someone on this forum who admitted than whenever his team reached a cup final, he donned a suit, stood at the bottom of the stairs, and then led his team up to the pitch (bedroom). I've been known to conduct post-match press conferences with myself before now. Though that was when i was slightly younger, and took the game far more seriously (ie. pre-FM08).
