Single division leagues like Wales and Australia are generally accepted, although some say they're not truly LLM. As long as you're playing in the right way, I don't see a problem really.

As far as I'm concerned, it's about playing in the lowest playable league in any country, and that's technically all you're doing.

Also I should add I saw Marconi Stallions v Newcastle when I was over in Oz earlier this year, and no-one will tell me Marconi aren't LLM. They were absolute poo.

All of them except Perth Glory are trash. Glory are classed as ordinary. I cant beleive you braved the terrible excuse for a football league that we have Robbo

Strictly speaking, single Division Nations can't be LLM. By definition you're playing the top Division, and to play "Lower" League there has to be a "Higher" League to qualify the LL status. [/pedant]

...but...it's always been tolerated to play these single Division Nations in the LLM Spirit, especially since Wales became playable

I quite enjoyed it actually. Fast and physical if nothing else. Was nothing like watching football back home..we all sat there with a couple of beers and ice creams, laughing at how different it all was, the atmosphere, cheerleaders and different sort of reactions from the crowd.

Newcastle had a couple of decent players, and should have won by far more than the 1-0 scoreline.

Funniest thing was queueing up for burgers, just ahead of us in the queue were some of the Marconi squad, fully dressed in club tracksuits...

We all await the day when the CM4 database is big enough to let you play the Australian State leagues. Aussies, for a laugh try running just the Aussie league on maximum database and check out the level of detail the non-playable teams are down to. FFS, the local amateur nobodies who play in the park at the end of my street are there.

actually, a large proportion of the guys i play with and against (qld div 1 teams) are in the game.... the random stats were a long way from accurate, but it did provide us with a laugh maybe i'll be in the next version of cm? (now that would be comical...)

Nice to find a LLM where the researchers actually DID their stuff. In Norway they have been rather poor after what I've heard. Personally I jumped the ship and went straight back to 0102, and I don't remember from my Pors Grenland/Vesterålen-career (it was pre EP1).
