That's just asking for sh*t, to be brutally honest.

Ok, let's picture the scenario:

Portuguese Taça, 4th Round.

We're drawn against recently relegated Estoril. An impossible task for Imortal, say the pundits. A recently promoted to 2nd Division B can't cope with a recently relegated Superliga side.

30 minutes into the match and we're 0-3 up \o/. Goals scored by Oldie (32), Old (33) and Older (34).

Estoril are quite embarassed at this stage and they may think they better start performing, even if just because they're playing at their place. So they start running circles around us.

We're outclassed. We look like headless chickens.

Come minute 60, Estoril players have pulled back from 3 behind and are pressing us quite hard.

One, two, three, four supersonic saves by Imortal's keeper \o/

Minute 80 and this is getting embarassing.

We don't even get to see which colour the oposition keeper's jersey is, so deep in our own half we are.

I do a last change and a little bit of tweaking. Oldest (40 years) gets from the bench in a last desperate effort.

It's a tense affair. Estoril are all over us.

But...

After a deep cross by their right winger, the unmarked striker heads the ball backwards. One of our defensive midfielders gets to the ball and gets it upwards and onwards... Easy one for the keeper who is rushing out to get at it.

Oldest sets off in a desperate sprint. Their keeper is so distraught at the vision of a 40 yo striker running at full pace that slips and falls :eek:

Oldest gets the ball and launches a 35 yards shot on the empty net...

It's in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3-4 \o/

Woohoo!

Sounds like an awesome match. Feels good to win those action-packed games :thup:

my best game isn't with a lower league club unfortunately. I haven't had any games worth talking about with them yet!

my best is with lincoln city, as i see someone elses was.

away against northampton, after we've lost 5-3 the weak before.

pundits say it will be a close affair and that i'll probably lose. They are wrong!!!!

3rd minute, tall striker wins an arial battle, heads home from 20 yards.
in the 7th minute, new signing pops up and shoots with the weakest ever shot, takes a slight deflection, this has their 'keeper confused and the ball rolls happilly into the net. 2-0 us.

after the first 35 minutes, we're 4-0 up
tall striker has a first half hatrick.

second half comes around, and they have the cheak to pull a goal back
but it does not last long, for my new signing follows suit of super tall guy, and smashes hom 2 more to make it 6-1!!!
then again, they think they can get a goal and get away with it! 6-2!

their smiley faces do not last for long however, as in the 90th minute, one of my defenders fels the need to punch their striker. serve him right for scoring against me! they will learn!!!

final score: northampton 2-6 lincoln city!!

Best game I've ever had was a Division Three playoff final in the Zealot Online game, Simon's Gillingham versus my Doncaster Rovers.

Simon had built a solid squad, a very difficult team to beat who had risen steadily all season after a shaky start.

I had built a squad very much based on attacking football. My more than Keegan esque brand of cavalier footy had seen over 200 goals scored in my entire league season, including the playoff semi finals.

A thoroughly pulsating game saw Gillingham emerge 3-2, but we both said it was the best match we had played.

200 goals by both teams... though the conceded column was nearly at 100... the scored column reached 126!

What a match indeed. Just played with Workington at home against Stevenage. 30 minutes into the game, we're up 4-0 after a fine display of extreme efficiency, when the referee decides to make things interesting by giving my DC a red card for a hard tackle. Stevenage takes advantage of the confusion and immediately peg back 2 goals before half-time.

5 minutes into the second half they score again,
4-3! Now they're rolling one attack after the other onto my goal, and I have to witness how my team is completely devoid of confidence and can't seem to hold on to the ball for more than 30 seconds.

I bring in my last two subs and make some changes to try and calm them down a bit, and somehow we manage to hang on for a while. In the 83rd minute we catch a break by scoring on a counter attack and I thought I can finally relax. We have some more grand counter-attack opportunities that we all waste, so it didn't come as much of a surprise that they score again, 5-4! Luckily that last goal was already in injury time and we manage to hang on for the remainder of the time.

I'm still sweating.

Sounds like what I witnessed at Southampton last Saturday!

Have to say if I ever manage to make a late come back I nearly always end up conceding to lose the match anyway.

Best match I've had so far on FM06 was my first outing to Brazil. Went 2-0 up within the opening 15 minutes and felt incredibly pleased, conceding a goal late in the first half to go in 2-1 up at the break

Second half I left things as they were hoping I'd get another, instead I was 3-2 down within 10 minutes of the restart and on my way to an 8-2 home defeat come the final whistle.

Another eventful match, Hibs away.

McPoof puts us 2-0 after 17mins, and we're controlling the match. Then a long ball, followed by a late scissor-tackle by our DC, and he's off in the 28th We set up shop. But then a counter, young AMR scores his first ever for the club making it 3-0 on 32min. \o/
Just before half-time they get a guy sent off for basically the same as our guy. Both teams down to ten men.

They come out in the 2nd half attacking from everywhere, and score after 63 mins. They then proceeded to make 3 subs, to chace two more goals I assume. But it didn't quite work out. 70th min and a guy gets injured and they're down to 9 men. Doesn't look like they care though, only two blokes at the back. Miraculously this works out for them, although heavy pressure commences. But then the final straw. Another guy gets injured in the 89th, and they're down to 8(!) hopeless chicks. With still only two at the back, we poke in a 4th just before the last whistle. We win 4-1. Game end with only 18 players on the pitch

For once the AI thought it was entertaining
