Too bad about the minimum requirement rules. Would be nice if it was in, but would probably cause all kind of problems with GQ users, which is why they removed it I guess. As long as they're aiming for realism it should be in though.

I'm a bit baffled by attendances so far. Last season we played SPL sides in friendlies and filled the stadium. Played SPL sides in friendlies this season and hundred people and two dogs showed up. Averaged about 1600 last season. So far it's only 2000 this season. I'd expect to fill up the 3800 stadium when we reached the SPL, but no luck

Crap, now I'm gutted

Played Rangers at home. Lots of injury problems so I've had to put a 17yo on top. Promising guy, but still. We play fantastic, and beat them 3-2. They got a man sent off, and my 17yo - hopefully coming star - scores 3! :eek:

Options->Save Game.......... Game cannot be saved. FUKK! FUKK! FUKK! FUKK!

Did save the pkm, but that doesn't get me anywhere. Also managed to screw up the files when saving, probably because of the excitement. The save got currupted, and the last save I had was three games old. The 17yo had scored 5 in two games, and now all this was lost

Have now replayed the games. Drew the first one (lost originally), won the 2nd (as I did first time around). Then it was Rangers with my 17yo. Hoped he would do a good match. He never got the chance as he got injured by a fan throwing a piano at him when he walked onto the pitch. Close anyway, the guy got injured after 2mins. They raped me and lead 1-0 until 89th. We get a pen, and get a lucky 1-1 draw.

Fortunetely it was only a 2-week injury, and we got 5 points compared to the six originally. Not horribly bad, but losing the Rangers win was rough

5 of 6 strikers are now injured. Who usually buys 20 strikers now again? I'd like to borrow a few please

Kfoolmoon

That would be me... and I ain't selling them, I need them all.

Pangaea

Not even one? Would be nice with two up front. Don't have a lot of confidence in goalies up there

Kfoolmoon

Goalies? You have more than one? :eek:

Maybe we can set up a trade or something...

Pangaea

Deal! I've got 5 of 'em :eek:

I guess that's why weak spot

Season 2010/11

Stenhousemuir - Scottish Premier League

First season in SPL, so naturally board and fans wanted us to battle bravely against relegation. A whopping 300:1 odds for the title.

To achieve this we had to invest in players, and quite a few too. The board gave me about £400K to work with. This got us a long way, and with the sale of our brilliant AML for £1.5M I bought a few more. In total 12 players in for £625K. Paid most for a GK with 190K. He saved us many a match.
Released 6 players, and sold 12 for a total of 1.6M

After decent friendlies I hoped we would survive. A tough start of the season saw us near the bottom, but we steadily improved as the team gelled, and moved up the table. Midway we were 4th, and opening up a little gap on the pack behind. Fought for the rest of the season with Dunfermline and Hibernian for 3rd spot, and nailed it in the end with 3 points over Hibernian. Stenhousemuir are ready for Europe!! \o/

Not much to write home about from the cups. Sent out the reserves to give them some matches, unfortunetely they didn't get many.

Highlist of the season was our somewhat lucky 2-1 win over Rangers at Ibrox. We also lead 2-0 at home over Celtic. They then proceeded to score two on overtime, 91st and 94th minute goals
Celtic won the league 7 points ahead of Rangers, 24 ahead of us.

Scottish Premier League: 3rd P38 W16 D10 L12 65-56 58pts
Scottish Cup: 3rd Rnd. Dundee Utd (A) (SPL) 0-3
League Cup: 2nd Rnd. East Fife (A) (SD3) 0-1 Outshot them 18-2

5-6 of the buys became regulars, so quite a big change from last season. Some very promising youngsters fared well, especially a 17yo striker that banged in 16 from 16(4) league matches. Hope I can keep the lad on board, he's had a fantastic development so far stats-wise.
Am getting in some nice-looking youngsters for next term. A few may be good enough for the first team.

Now exams and xmas is coming up, so won't be updates for a while as I'm going home for xmas and won't be bringing the 'puter.
Really looking forward to Europe next year, hoping to make it a few rounds in. Fingers crossed for local council to not fukk up the stadium expansion :thup:
