I know these goals are scored now and then IRL, but in CM, they happen far too often, and usually against our team, when we had already got 18 shots saved from opposition's defenders...
It's funny, though, to see experienced world-class keepers suffer this kind of goal...
Okay, so my East Sterling team is into its second season in Div 1. We finally have a half decent transfer kitty, and I spend it on 3 decent players who I think will make the difference between promotion and failure.
3 matches into the season and not one, not two, but ALL THREE new signings have picked up long term injuries.

... or when you've been negotiated for eons for that player up front that will be a revolution in the club. Then when we finally agree on a sum, the player is taken off the transfer list. When you then try to offer him a contract he laughs at you! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
The guy was put on 'not needed' again, so I once again had my chance. This time no fooling around, I offered what they wanted. A few rounds with contract talks, but he finally signed his name
Why he wasn't a first-teamer at Derby I'll never know, but I'm real happy they didn't want him
The 03-04 AI has the cunning habitude of transfer-listing their best players and allowing them to go for peanuts. I'll never forget that Wolves striker (a regen) that i'd signed for Enfield. Steadiest goal-machine i've ever had for about 100k.
Yeah, they do strange things. I paid 200k for the guy, but it's all worth I reckon. First match he scored three and got a penalty. Fair enough it was in the cup against a club struggling one division below me, but still well done.
Got a new GK not long ago. Got him for free as his contract was running out, but he was the best goalie in his former club. Some braindead AI managers around...
Champ League Qualifier 3rd Rnd with Caersws, took Dortmund to a 1-1 draw at the Recreation Ground, bloody solid result considering they had 2 penalties and we were a man down after 17 minutes and had two goals disallowed. Yet the away leg saw my back four with the ages of 18, 14, 15, and 19 and against a team with more international appearances than they'd had hot dinners! Sods law that they play some young'un up front who bangs in a hat-trick on his debut, flaming git. We ended up losing 4-1 that night. Grrr. Still, I couldn't help but laugh when one of my centre-backs returned to full training the next day from a 6-month layoff after a viral infection caused by him being bitten by his pet dog!
Hmm, you might have a point there.
While sitting on the train, I have seen houses near the station. People also get on the train there, so it would be reasonable to assume that someone lives there, or at least nearby. Maybe they live underground.
But the football team is the most convincing evidence of the town's existence: I have actually seen a training session as the train crawled past the ground.
