I'm quite interested in this post. I did the research for Burscough and it's one of the clubs at the lower end of the scale when comparing min / max / average attendance fluctuations.

As for the far too many goals problem, it makes the game unplayable in my opinion. Reading other posts on the forums it seems that the lower leagues are hardest hit by this. Hopefully it will be sorted for the patch, whenever that may be.

Ok, I've thought of one.

I'll tell you what is getting my goat at the moment! The board selling a player over my head and then the team slating me for lack of ambition.

Another thing, putting the ball into an empty net to go 1-0 up, having it ruled out as the game has to be pulled back for a penalty instead (according to the dumbass ref who won't play advantage for s**ts or giggles) then watching my top goal scorer happily going about his business of missing it (7th penalty miss in a row). To make it worse, the opposition breaks away with a long ball after the penalty save and score a goal from it that my entire team thought was offside - I stick up for them saying they got the decision wrong after the match and get a touchline ban. All this stemming from when I actually should have gone 1-0 up.

I actually made a joke about something like this potentially happening a couple of weeks ago, didn't expect it to come back and bite me in the a** with poisonous fang teeth that smell of BO.

I'm not bitter.

Kriss - no I didn't mate, I am agreeing with your initial comments if you read what I said.

I hate:

1. Defenders that just refuses to close down ai wingers
2. My goalie that insist on playing the ball up the field when told not to
3. Telling a midfielder to tightmark a playmaker - just to watch him go wide and forget his duties
4. My strikers trying to score from the byline
5. My strikers not going into the box, no matter what
6. Waterlogged(??) pitches that destroys my shortpassing game
7. Throw-ins in own half going directly to the opponents
8. SI for ruining the chance I had at passing the last test I did at Uni. Now I have to do it again

You wanna know what's grinding my gears?

The bleedin' fact that FM08 still hasn't arrived despite it being shipped on last Monday!

Random league rules restricting the amount of foreign players on the pitch at a time, that mean I have to bring off my DM to substitute my striker - and dont get me started about what happens when there are injuries to my EU players :p

That probably means that his Missus occasionally reads what is on the screen over his shoulder.

Rule 1 of relationships - take all measures to avoid arguements with the significant other. You will never win, you will never admit to yourself that you lost and thus will drive yourself insane knowing that they will eventually somehow get you to apologise anyway. It's just easier to humour them before it starts.

Unfortunately my goat was stolen back in the early days of FM07. I to this day still believe it was taken by my sorry excuse for a striker after i suggested in the dressing room post match that said goat would be replacing him up front in the following match
