Toon07 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well it seems like a good idea when a little bit drunk, but i've never managed to actually play... usually when I'm back home after goin out all I can manage to do is pass out... occasionally in bed (and that's when I actually come back to my own place) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlebeagle Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Not played drunk, but not so long back after I narrowly lost in the playoffs, I went out and had a massive session, one of my housemates found me asleep on the landing . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suttface Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Echo my thoughts... When I started this thread I wondered if anyone was mad enough! I once played for around 5 hours after a night out. I came round and had lost about 5 games on the bounce! For me alchohol and the sacred game don't mix. The problem is that when I'm out on a Friday/Saturday night I generally let my mind wonder back to FM. I then arrive home half-cut to get my fix and make ridiculous decisions!

Mike7077 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I remember playing an earlier FM while drunk, but I forget how it went. All I do remember is that it felt really horrible.

gunnerfan Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 My favorite response from a thread like this one, maybe a year or so ago, was the guy who posted that he'd gotten himself toasted one night and played some FM, and when he woke up the next morning, he'd changed all his player's nicknames to "Shirley".

Meitheisman Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Played a bunch of times drunk but I usually do just about as well as I do when I'm sober. I have several set tactics, training is great, morale usually high so it doesn't really matter if I'm drunk for a few game weeks, i need to pay attention in January and during the summer though, wouldn't play these parts drunk.

thebirdinator Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I once got plastered on a night out in Nottingham. Bumped into the great Jason Lee, who wasn't wearing a pineapple on his head. I can't remember much of the drunken conversation but remember thinking what a great guy he was and how much i loved him as a player. I woke up telling all my friends, (and thinking how he was actually a **** player), loaded FM. And there he was, Club Captain, Derby Countys Record Signing. I still to this day have no recolection of this signing and the relationship with the board and fans were never the same. He went to Mansfield the following season for 9k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I had a few the other night and had a wizz on FM, actually I got gradually drunk while playing FM. Chester City managed to sign 32 Eastern Europeans, but did win the Johnson's Paint Trophy. So on the field a bit of booze set us apart but during the close season it did lead to a bit of bravado in the transfer market, I counted 13 strikers in the end. I had to spend a large portion of yesterday trying to flog the unwanted plays and ended up making a tidy profile which I promptly blew on a Brazilian - magic!

finlay99 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I played drunk a few weeks ago and i woke up to find yakubu, arteta, cahill in the reserves and i had signed and promoted from the youth team the funniest looking regens ive ever seen, i must have been looking for them for over 3 hours. Lost 6 games in a row, on a plus my reserves won 4 in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hufton Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Feeling suitably drunk and being on my longest ever losing run (5 games) with Everton I decided that a new tactic was in order. It may surprise you but I had some very good results playing 4-2-4. I know there's nothing particularly new about the 4-2-4, but this had a twist, there was one AM, a DM and arrows on my full-backs to join the strikers. This served me so well that I continued with the seemingly suicidal tactics the next morning, and Atouba finished with 13 goals that season from DL.

mudweiser Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I rarely play it when I'm drunk, I'm either out or come in and go straight to bed.

sydfc4ever Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Ah, the good ol FM with drunk/flying high, nothing like it!! Try not to do it much as I have the tendancy to think that I am a footballing god and can win with any line up i choose. Worst case was deciding that I didn't need my First XI to beat Barca in the CL quarters with Wigan. Put out my kids and a reserves and go soundly beaten 6-1 at the Nou Camp. Lucky for me I passed out soon after and after coming too played the second leg, won 5-nil at home! Of course, the game was played after the obligatory Maccas trip for greasy breakfast!

I can't see the Giants winning the SB the game should be great based on the Pats-Giants game in the regular season.
