Tubey84 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 CAMRAD has no future. It will not be a success. I cannot stand for people trying to move back to the dark ages of 2D. I won't let it happen. As a race, we humans must always strive to move forwards. CAMRAD is a bad thing. You're actually using a humorous discussion about the shape of a 2-dimensional sprite in a computer game as an example of humans not socially and technologically progressing?

EvilDave Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Just recently I've been playing 01/02 due to the immensely poor speed of 09, which I'm attributing mainly to the 3D pitch. Yes, it's a fantastic idea, but it's not quite there yet IMO, and my personal inability to run more than a couple of leagues on my laptop kills the enjoyment. On the other hand, more processing time seems to = more revision done, so I guess each side has it's advantages! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, more processing time seems to = more revision done, so I guess each side has it's advantages! Slow processing speed is a HUGE bonus with an FM game. Once I moved to a newer computer, my ability to get study done while alt-tabbing out of FM was drastically reduced due to the fact that the computer processed information so quickly. I had to resort to loading a rather stupidly large number of leagues and running them on full detail on purpose in order to make sure that my grades didn't slip in my last two years of uni!

Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 due to basic studies, this story and general things in my life, I'm loving fm even more at the moment, the fact I only really have time for 1 or 2 games, apart perhaps a weekend means everygame means more, when I was younger, I used to play upto 20+ games a day.

The robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, and then asks him, "What's your IQ?" The man replies "150" and the robot proceeds to make conversation about global warming factors, quantum physics and spirituality, biomimicry, environmental interconnectedness, string theory, nano-technology, and sexual proclivities. The customer is very impressed and thinks, "This is really cool." He decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the perfectly prepared drink and asks him "What's your IQ?" The man responds, "about a 100". Immediately the robot starts talking but this time, about football, cricket, supermodels, favorite fast foods, cars, and women's breasts. Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and decides to give the robot one more test. He returns, the robot serves him and asks, "What's your IQ?" The man replies "Er, 50, I think."

The winner of the Scottish Cup currently gets Scotland’s second UEFA Cup spot, but in the event that the winner has already qualified for Europe, which is quite likely considering the Old Firm’s record in the tournament, the runner-up is given the spot instead. ... Now, if the Cup winner has already otherwise qualified, the fourth-place team in the final SPL standings will get the nod. From here - I should have elaborated, however, that this is the last season that the runners-up can qualify for the Europa League.Edit: I did say 'never', bizzarely, when it has happened but has only recently stopped happening .

The-Perfect-Fm'er! Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 More pointless drovel I've just done My player of the year Nominations would of been: Steven Gerrard Mr Liverpool has, as always, been fantastic. He can pick a pass, he can blaze a shot in from thirty yards and along with Jamie Carragher he single handedly won virtually all of Liverpool's games this season. Especially their stunning victory over Man Utd. Stevie G is not only a fantastic player he's also a fantastic example to the youngsters. In an age where foreigners will go down at the slightest hint of a touch Gerrard proves you don't have to dive to win matches. He's as honest as every good Scouser. John Terry If I didn't know better I'd swear John Terry was made entirely of grit. But I do know better. He's 50% grit, 50% determination and 50% hard work. Which all adds to 100% English lion. He's also the England captain which is fantastic, maybe by the next World Cup we'll be able to field an entire team of John Terry's. We'd be unbeatable, plus we wouldn't ever have the problem of having a player sent off because all referees know you can't send off the England captain. Rio Ferdinand A lot of people bemoan the loss of the beautiful game but I don't think anyone can question Ferdinand's beauty. But never let it be said he doesn't know how to win ugly. In fact he's taken over from Steve Bruce in the Man Utd defence in that department. And I can think of no higher compliment. Ryan Giggs He's old, so he deserves a mention. Robbie Keane You may be able to spot the major difference between Keane and the other nominees, he's the only one who isn't one of the big four. But it's about time one of them gave him a chance, he'd set the premiership alight at one of the big clubs. However he does fit in to the list in another respect he's a true British great. In fact I don't think anyone would be offended if I said he was as English as Oliver Cromwell. So there you have it. My nominees for Player of the Year and unlike the so called 'official' awards these ones aren't ruined by a bunch of foreign fancy dan players ruining our game with their skill, precision and ability. What place do attributes like that have in a player of the year competition? No one ever won a match by playing good football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubey84 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Disagree with Keane and Terry, and Giggs despite the fact he won it. I like Keane but he hasn't done it this year to be fair. For me it's Steven Gerrard Cristiano Ronaldo Wayne Rooney Rio Ferdinand Fernando Torres 3 Man Utd and 2 Liverpool... and I'm an Everton fan; hows that for lack of bias!

viperk1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 YPOTY Ashley Young Jack Collison Jack Rodwell Please tell me you're not being serious with that? You've missed one key name out on that list - Stephen Ireland. Unlike his more illustrious team-mates such as Robinho and Elano, Ireland has always put in his shift and was absolutely lethal against Hull at Eastlands (I wish he hadn't been, though ) And I'd say Jonathon Evans deserved his place on the official shortlist for the YPOTY - whenever Ferdinand or Vidic were injured/suspended, Evans admirably filled in the gap and performed very well. Yes, he's not the same quality as Vidic or Ferdiand - but given the opportunity, I reckon he could be just as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I was serious - but I knew there was one name I was missing. Ireland has been fantastic this season, and tbh should be winning it.

milanfan_apoorv Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Just a quick note for those of you that remember me. I have cancer. No its not a joke (it would be in poor taste if it was). I had a stomach tumour which was removed surgically and it was then discovered that i have lymph cancer. This was 10 days ago. I will be starting chemotherapy tomorrow. They say it isnt very bad and that i have a 70% survival chance (I dunno how they enumerate it). Its supposed to be rare for a 16 year old to get it but what the **** does that mean now? I will not be able to post regularly, if at all, and I want you guys to know that you are great friends.
