The off topic thread

[SM]

I normally hate the cop out about the umpiring but in our game, it was so obviously wrong that it's hard not to get frustrated.

Kudos to Brisbane, they were ahead when it counted but geeze that game has left a real sour taste.

When does the PL start back up again??

Yeah I wanted Brissy to win since I tipped them so probably a bit biased. I didn't think it was as terrible as some are making out. Brisbane got in front in the first through their temerity and attack on the ball so that was where the game seemed to be won.

 

[Loonerty]

Of course! In fact, screw the podcast!

PM me if you're interested in coming on.

Eventually perhaps, I feel like I wouldn't have much to offer aside from Chelsea stuff.

Also you have filled the role of Essendon/Chelsea supporter this week with The Prosecutor anyway.

It wasn't the amount of frees that was the issue, it was just that they were all in front of goals. I particularly loved the Jonathon Brown mark that Daniel Merritt actually got his hands all over before Brown. Just terrible calls like that cost us in the end.

Yep, they did well in that first quarter. To our credit we pegged them back and were leading in that last quarter. We should have iced the game from there but it sucks to lose by 7 points when there is at least 4 or 5 goals that wouldn't have been payed in any other game.

FM Classic is for the weak

Hahah totally. I love being in complete control of every aspect of the club. I can sometimes take an hour or two scouting players, sorting tactics and training and renewing contracts and talking to the board about the budget, possible expansions. Two hours later I press continue and move forward one day. Hahah

 

[jod23]

They sacked me bastards!

What? You said you were in 4th? Were you playing with Leicester? That's decent with Leicester.

 

[jod23]

Well we're happy to go with the three for this week, and not entirely sure if it'll happen every week to start with, but once EPL kicks off again it'd be pretty regular and there'd be lots of opportunity for different people to come on.

How does it all work. Id be interested but dont we all have to live in the same place to record it as such.

 

[Jatz]

Yep, sacked me from 4th (at the start of November). Apparently it was because I lost 4 out of 5 games (injury run I had played a massive part. Had no injuries and then all of a sudden had 4 first 11 players.) Harsh considering I was only 5 points off first. Screw Leicester

Took me ages to get another job that wasn't in the Skrill league. After a year of searching I've finally found a position at Preston NE.

It's actually going to be a reality TV show. All your favourite Association Football board posters in one house over the off-season, recording a podcast a week.

In all seriousness though I imagine Skype would be used.

I find Skype to be utterly useless. I have pretty good internet and still can really Skype with anyone with any real success.

Oh hell yes! I'd watch that show

Yep, took over in November with them languishing in 20th place.

How is it going? Im approaching the end of my 5th season in charge of Liverpool. I have finished 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 4th in the previous 4 years and this season I am in 2nd with 8 games to go. 5 points behind City. We are 10-12 clear of third placed Stoke who are having a crazy year.

In my 5 years in charge I have won 2 FA Cups and 1 League Cup. Also won the Community Shield one year but I dont count that as a trophy.

The CL has been the death of me, Ive made it out of my group every year but every time I have not managed to win my group leaving me in 2nd place and with a tough draw in the round of 16. I drew Barcelona, Dortmund, Barcelona, Real Madrid the past 4 years. Havent won any of those ties.

This season I again lost top spot of my group to Real Madrid and finished second. Drew Atletico in the round of 16. But at my 5th attempt I have finally managed to break through, beat Atletico 4-0 at Anfield and losing the return leg 4-2 but moving through 6-4 on aggregate.

So finally through to the QFs where I have drawn Arsenal.

Haha nope, jump on Skype and I have a computer program that then records the conversation.

 

[Cruyff14]

Could use someone with your knowledge!

 

[Cruyff14]

[SM]

Tonight around 8pm, maybe a bit earlier?

What do I need to do?

That's phenomenal. I had a terrible week, 5/9.

I was quite lucky, also BF was glitching and let you change your tip for Roos/Eagles late into the match. But I still managed to grab Adelaide and Brisbane.
