This story will continue and there will be more deaths, I'm sure of that.

I'm working away from home at the moment and I don't have access to my FM2005 disk. There will probably no action until mid-December atm.

Gratuitous bump just to remind the crew that Spav will be back sometime :thup:

OH YEAH. uh huh, uh huh, uh huh uh huh uh huh -- \o/ -- I have no idea what I do here, but it's obviously having a huge affect on the pitch.

Thanks for that, usky.

It was a bit of bad planning on my part to leave home without my FM2005 disk, but with my saved game on my laptop. In the end I have just gone out and bought a new copy as it was on sale dirt cheap due to it being last year's edition now.

There will be some more updates now, but they will be a bit irregular due to my work schedule.

Cheers, Spav.

Over in New Zealand Terk had decided to do a bit of sleuthing. Something very strange was happening over in Australia to his FMS colleagues – they were being bumped off one by one. pickles was dead in Brisbane and mckissock of Melbourne had been murdered whilst visiting Sydney. Terk was of the opinion that it was an ‘inside job’ and that the murders had been committed by the same person. Someone who knew all of the guys was behind this. As far as he was concerned it was either one of those who had been transported along with him, one of the people from the Corrective Services Department or someone who had escaped their earlier arrest like flipsix3 had. Terk had put together a list of possible suspects and it was surprisingly larger than he would have initially thought it might have been.

Terk had invited his fellow FMSers in New Zealand over to his apartment in the Auckland suburb of Parnaby where they were all based. Daz the Imp and Stuart Johnston had arrived early in the evening at the request of their friend. “Fellas, I’m sure you’re just as worried about these murders as I am”, Terk said. “Just because we are here in New Zealand doesn’t give us immunity. After all, we are sort of expected to travel with the Knights to their games and that means that we’ll be in Australia even second week. That makes us just as easy a target as those guys based over there as far as I am concerned”. Daz the Imp nodded his head in agreement. “That’s true, mate”, he replied. “I certainly don’t fancy getting knocked off by some mad bästard over in Australia”. Stuart Johnston chimed in. “Terk, you’ve got a few ideas about this, haven’t you?” he asked. “That’s why you invited us over, yeah?”

“Yep, that’s right, Stu”, replied Terk. “I’ve been speaking to the guys in Oz via the forum and as a result I’ve set up a little list that shows who has no clear alibi for the two days on which both murders were committed. Now I know Australia is a big country, but it is possible to travel from one side to the other and back again in the same day, so even the guys in Perth on the west coast could commit a crime on the east coast and make it back in the same day”. Terk laid a couple of sheets of paper on the kitchen table and Daz and Stuart huddled over them to get a look at what Terk had figured out.

“Right then”, began Terk, “pickles was murdered in Brisbane on a Tuesday evening and mckissock was killed in Sydney on the following Sunday afternoon. The killing in Brisbane could really have been done by anyone who was able to travel to Brisbane and get back home the same evening. All the FMS boys checked in with their relevant police stations on the Tuesday morning and then the Wednesday morning the day after, so that doesn’t really rule anyone out. However if you crosscheck this with those people who could have been in Sydney on the Sunday, then you significantly reduce the possibilities,” Terk pointed out. “So here’s the list of the guys who could have been in Sydney last Sunday afternoon”.

Spav, uskopite, Gricehead, Maollelujah [Sydney-based]
Faramir, Dixie Flatline, rukus [visiting Sydney from Melbourne]
BobBev [did not travel to Adelaide from Brisbane]
Peacemaker7 [did not attend home game in Perth]
Lord Crumb [did not travel to Perth from Central Coast]
Justified [did not attend home game in Newcastle]

“Right”, said Daz the Imp, “that gives us eleven possible suspects if we consider that one of ‘The FMS Gang’ is the killer. But surely you can’t count those guys who weren’t in Sydney on the day? Why not?” replied Terk. “It’s certainly within the realms of possibility for Peacemaker7, BobBev, Lord Crumb or Justified to have checked in with their local police in the morning and still have travelled to Sydney and back in the same day. Plus I believe that all four of them have no real alibi for what they were doing as their fellow FMSers were all at their relevant club’s matches and can’t vouch for them. On top of this list we have Genevieve Waldorf in Brisbane and Sydney on both days as well as the likelihood that it is someone from our past like flipsix3 who could just be travelling around totally unchecked”.

Terk sat back in his chair and looked at Daz the Imp and Stuart Johnston. “Right fellas, we need to use our brains whilst we’re here in NZ in relative safety. If we’re smart about this, then we might just catch ourselves a killer”.

The weekend of the second round of the Australian A-League found all of the FMSers attending their team’s matches. No-one wanted to stay at home on the match day and risk being accused of being a killer, but at the same time everyone was looking over their shoulders in case it was one of their colleagues who was the murderer. Either that or someone they knew who had not been identified yet – perhaps someone like flipsix3.

Melbourne Victory hosted Perth Glory at Olympic Park in front of an enthusiastic crowd and the home team picked up their first points of the season when Archie Thompson scored with header early in the second half to give his side a 1-0 victory. Perth’s Stephen McMahon was sent off late in the match for two bookable offences.

In the Hunter derby Central Coast Mariners played their first game in their new home of Central Coast Stadium in Gosford as they faced their local rivals Newcastle Jets. The Mariners raced to a two goal lead as John Hutchinson and Noel Spencer scored inside the first 20 minutes. However in the second half the Jets fought back and veteran striker Ante Milicic struck twice with trademark headers to force a 2-2 draw in the contest.

New Zealand Knights played their first home game of the new season at the North Harbour Stadium in Auckland. Sydney FC were the visitors and David Carney gave them a first half lead following a flowing move. The Knights scored their first goal of the season through Noah Hickey after 78 minutes and they looked to have taken a share of the spoils until Saso Petrovski popped up in injury-time to glance home a near post header and give Sydney a 2-1 win.

The first round’s big winners met at the Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide as Adelaide United entertained Queensland Roar. Adelaide showed that they will be a force in the A-League this season as they outplayed the Roar to record a fine 2-0 victory. Skipper Ross Aloisi fired them into the lead on the half-hour with a scorching 25 yard effort and Fernando Rech made sure of the win with a second goal with 10 minutes remaining.

In Auckland Terk continued his work as an amateur private eye as he managed to conduct veiled ‘interviews’ with each of the visiting gang members from Sydney. He somehow managed to get a few minutes alone with each of Spav, uskopite, Gricehead and Maollelujah to question them on their views about what had happened at Aussie Stadium the previous weekend. He was also wary enough to ensure that none of the Sydney boys had a chance to attack him as he kept his avenue of escape open wherever he was. Terk noted that all of their accounts of the events surrounding mckissock’s death seemed to line up with each other. Spav in particular wanted to bang on about his suspicions regarding Genevieve Waldorf whilst the other three seemed to favour the ‘outsider’ theory when it came to the killer’s identity.

Meanwhile in Melbourne it was the boys from Perth who were paying a visit. Faramir, Dixie Flatline and rukus had all gone back to work in the Victorian capital, but the death of mckissock the previous weekend still hung over them like a dark shadow. Peacemaker7, Bagpuss, HD and binny had all flown in from Perth and they were particularly keen to find out more about what had happened in Sydney. Peacemaker7 felt most comfortable talking to Faramir and he wanted to get his American friend to one side for a decent chat about the situation.

PM7 was about to ask his first question when Faramir held up his hand to stop him. “Pal, I need to ask you something first”, said Faramir. “Why weren’t you at the Perth game last Sunday? You must admit that it has made a few people suspicious about you”. Peacemaker7 looked Faramir straight in the eyes and replied “What is it with everyone? I’m the last person anyone should be suspecting. This whole transportation thing has personally harmed me more than just about anyone else”. Faramir shook his head. “I just want to hear it from your own mouth. What were you doing last Sunday?” Peacemaker7 gestured with his hands, palms down as he spoke. “As I told the police, I was suffering from some sort of stomach bug. I reported to the local police station that morning as required and then I went home and slept for most of the day. Later that night I was feeling dehydrated, so I went to the local 7-Eleven for a bottle of Lucozade. The clerk on duty has already confirmed my appearance in his store. Besides, do you really think I could have got over to Brisbane on the Tuesday and Sydney on the Sunday without someone from the airlines identifying me? It’s just impossible to think that I am in any way involved in this”, PM7 concluded. “Yep, I know it is”, replied Faramir. “I just wanted to see how vehement you were about denying it and I reckon you’ve answered my question”.

“Right then Faramir, maybe you can tell me what you think is happening, particularly as you were at the game in Sydney when mckissock was killed”, said PM7. “Look, I really don’t know, to be honest”, replied Faramir. “It certainly wasn’t me who killed mckissock and I just can’t see that it was any of the six guys who were there at the same time. I mean, just look at this situation. We’re all guys who wrote stories on an internet messageboard, so where would a cold-blooded killer suddenly spring from? I just get the feeling that it is an outsider that is targeting us for some reason, but what that reason may be, I have no idea”. PM7 nodded in agreement. “Aye mate, I agree. It looks like we are all just going to have to be as alert as possible until this killer makes a mistake and the police can catch him. I just hope that it bloody sooner rather than later or there’ll be none of us left alive”.

And so the second round of the A-League had been completed and every one of ‘The FMS Gang’ returned home with the colleagues and their football teams. Thankfully this weekend no-one had been murdered.
