Football Manager 2009

Make a seperate save and see what happens.

9 games to go, 8 point lead for Rushden in 09/10.

[DFF]

Just started a journeyman game with all the leagues turned on (with most only having the top division selectable to save my processor). I've left my reputation to automatic - lets see where I end up!

[Pesci]

Anybody else find it ridiculously hard playing against 10 men? Don't think I've ever held a lead.

[Meacon Keaton]

No, but I find that my team always seems to play a lot better when we're a man down, though.

[Pesci]

Yeah, I get that too.

[Crybaby Bunting]

It happens in real life though, I think the most obvious one in recent times was England vs Portugal where the second Rooney got sent off the team went "oh shi-" and started playing.

And how many times have you seen teams thinking that it'll be a rollover whenever a guy from the opposition gets sent off... only to find it impossible to score.

Unfortunately, this is a realistic football game ¬_¬

[Pesci]

No, I know it happens sometimes. And it's not that realistic tbf

[Zaz]

Do you change your tactics when you go a man up? If you play wider to stretch them and slow it down to keep possession, you should be able to outplay them.

[Pesci]

I think I tried that before and it didn't work. It should work, obviously.

[Fudge]

This game's lost everything it once had for me. I just installed it on my new laptop and I'm bored before it's even finished loading.

Danny Rose has just become Tottenham's new Sol Campbell. After 12 years, 251 league games and however many cup and continental games, he refuses to sign a new contract and goes and joins Man Utd on a free :@

[IAceI]

My 6th round FA Cup opponents are top of the Premiership having not lost a game 28 games played (bearing in mind they've finished 7th, 6th and 8th) and they're, well, quite ruthless.

As Nuneaton discovered.

I'm in 2014 with Ajax, just won the CL for the first time (yay), but the game is getting a bit weird. I loaned out a player to West Brom, but when he was supposed to return it kept saying West Brom-contracted to Ajax, whatever I did he never f'n returned. I even added a new user, picked West Brom, but the player wasn't even in their squad! So he ended up not playing at ALL for 2 years until his contract ran out, now he's at the Wolves but because he missed 2 years he will never be as a good as was promised.

Also, I loaned out two players to Feyenoord. Every transfer period Feyenoord asks to extend their loan and I say yes. A week later they ask again and it keeps going on, so strange. I look at their contracts and according to the dates the contract keeps getting extended ONE WEEK. However, when the transfer period is over they stay at Feyenoord like was intended (12 month period), so....eh?

Man Utd are hilarious. They sold Danny Simpson and then bought him back 3 years later for around 20m, and he's extremely average. They bought Scott Sinclair from Chelsea and then somehow managed to sell him for 19m to Barcelona (wtf? What is it with Sinclair and FM?). They sold their number one RB for the last 2 seasons to Everton for 5m. Bought Michael Johnson, a 32 year old Joe Cole for 11m, bought BACK a f'n 33 year old Evra for 12m and lastly Andrew Driver for 16m Their team:

GK Ross Turnbull (wtf)

DR Danny Simpson

DL Fabio (and he's shit)

DC Vidic

DC 35 year old Ferdinand

MR Joe Cole

ML Downing

MC Carrick

MC Matthew James (the fuck? Existing player from their youth, and shit)

ST Welbeck (not even that special)

ST Rooney

God knows why Ronaldo doesn't play. Crazy game. Also, just to illustrate Arsenal's dominance in this game, they've won 3 Prem titles since 2008, 4 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 3 Community Shields, 3 Champions Leagues, 3 European Super Cups and lastly 3 times Club World Champ.

What I hate most about FM 09 is that if you win a Champions Leagues 1st leg game 5-0, for example, you are pretty much guaranteed to lost the next 6-0.

What I hate most about FM 09 is that if you win a Champions Leagues 1st leg game 5-0, for example, you are pretty much guaranteed to lost the next 6-0.

Or that if I play against a team with a former player of mine, that player ALWAYS scores, even if his team is absolute bollocks.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

Dont forget that if a player is on a goal drought, he is guaranteed to score against you

[9 to 5]

Dont forget that if a player is on a goal drought, he is guaranteed to score against you

The most true one of all.

Every so often my football manager crashs on me and restarts the computer and all does anyone else have this problem or know how to stop it from happening

If its restarting your computer then it wont be the game, most likely something like the cpu is overheating

Won the Blue Square Premier and FA Trophy with Rushden and Diamonds in 2009/2010. Keep on getting offered other jobs but I want to see what my transfer and wage budget is next year. If it's low then I may move on.
