Peterborough United Allsta Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Your school books are all drawn over with dots and forward arrows indicating the tactics you played. Your favourite player no longer plays for the team you support IRL but constitently has had a 7.50 average rating over the course of a season after you signed him for a bargain price. You go to a football match and say that a players 'creative freedom' slider needs to be moved down, or the team should use corner instructions like challenge G.K, 6 yard box. You do motivational chants to encourage your team during their matches when a succesion of missed chances arise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMan123 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Your school books are all drawn over with dots and forward arrows indicating the tactics you played. Back when I went to school this is exactly what I did all over my school books. The good old days! There is nothing wrong with random arrows all over your maths book it just looks like a bad attempt at using pythagoras theorom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalascione Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 You go to an U10s football game, and shout in-depth tactical instructions at the babies. Lol. Sounds familiar.

football_master_94 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 You're having an argument with your girlfriend (totally unrelated to anything FM) and she says "you've got a problem". You automatically think she's insulting the game and lock her out of your bedroom.And, when you realise your mistake about twenty seconds later, instead of going and apologising, you fire up FM to get a happiness boost.
