GreyedOutMan Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 LINFIELD – SEASON 2017-18 - its another long one but well worth a read!!! Season Report I stuck to my guns regarding the Europa League this season. Only 3 YPs started the 1st Qualifying Road first leg, in a team that featured no other players who were big parts of my plans for the title tilt. We still managed a 0-0 draw away to favourites Grbalj. We did lose the 2nd leg, but that meant that we went into the new season with a much fitter squad than normal. Which was good – we had Glentoran first up, and thanks probably to the easier pre-season, two goals from Ryan Whoriskey gave us a vital 2-0 win which meant we effectively started the season with a 3 point headstart. But we did our best to throw it away in the next game, when we found ourselves 1-0 down against newly promoted Tobermore Utd in the 6th minute of, apparently, 3 minutes of stoppage time, before a screamer from midfielder Tom Eastman rescued a point, which still wasn’t really good enough. But after that we found more form, and Whoriskey was at the centre of that. He was getting better and better, and more and more clubs were interested, it seemed. However, with his value still only £40k, I was keen to tie him to a contract so that I could at least hold on to him until he could command a record transfer fee. A fairly comfortable 2-1 win against Glentoran in the Antrim Cup Quarter Final gave us a bit of a psychological edge as the season developed. Soon afterwards we were to end up playing them in the All-Ireland Cup Final, too. Aaron Callaghan had the distinction on October 7th against Distillery of scoring the 1000th goal of my tenure at Linfield. Quite a landmark. The long-serving defender managed a hat-trick that day. He’s one of the most free-scoring defenders I’ve ever come across. In my mid-season friendly competition involving some top European clubs, to generate some income, I obviously played reserve teams, but somehow I managed to come out on top!! It looked like that would cost me the All-Ireland Cup despite the fact that I changed my team for each game. But eventually, a couple of days later, Glentoran were overcome once again and Linfield ruled the most prestigous of all the Irish Cups for another year! The pots just keep stacking up for good old GreyedOutMan!! And the Antrim Cup followed a few weeks later into the onion-bag. With the League going well, it was looking like being a really great season. At the start of December, we went into the away game against Glentoran knowing that a win would put us in a hugely strong position. Already we were top of the league, albeit on goal difference, with two games in hand. A win would mean we’d be potentially 9 points clear with our games in hand. That man Callaghan got an opener after just four minutes. Mullan doubled the lead 7 minutes later. McDaid scored an unavoidable own-goal shortly before half time and we went into the break leading by the odd goal in three. A nervy second half was somewhat averted when Doyle doubled the lead once more. We were leading the mighty Glentoran 3-1 on their own patch and it was looking good for the league title at last. When Miskimmon made it 4-1, I was in dreamland. That was how it stayed. Such a convincing win was clear demonstration of a shift of power in Northern Irish football. We went into the new year with a really genuine chance of completing a domestic clean sweep. Two trophies were already in the bag, we were looking good in the league, and still in both the Cup and the League Cup. For the first time I was heavily linked with an English Premiership job – Everton. And things got better and better for Linfield as Glens kept on losing, including a dismal 3-2 defeat to newly promoted Tobermore Utd. Bizarrely, at this point I noticed that Aaron Callaghan, he who was the 3rd top goalscorer in the whole league last year, was currently the top goalscorer for Linfield in this season! He really does have a good eye for goals! Shame he’s 31 now, really. A huge goal in the last minute against 3rd place Glenavon to change 1 point into 3 seemed to be pivotal. 10 points clear, two games in hand, having just played one of the harder games of the season. It looked like the title was all but ours. Another defeat of Glenavon a few days later in the League Cup sent us to yet another final and kept Linfield on track for a remarkable domestic clean-sweep. Unfortunately, off the pitch there was sad news as Glenn Malone, out of contract at the end of the season, agreed a deal to move to Gillingham. He’ll be missed although it does free up a space in the side for Lennon to play more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 LINFIELD – SEASON 2017-18 - I thought it'd be better split up! The Glentoran game days later really was huge. A win would surely guarantee me a first league title. We would be 14 points clear with a game in hand. Allen Axelsen, a young Danish striker who was keeping Mark Miskimmon on the bench, hit the post half an hour in. On the stroke of half time, some clumsy defending by the team in white and green gave us a penalty and a golden opportunity to go in one up. Whoriskey didn’t disappoint, stroking his penalty past the diving goalkeeper to make it 1-0. The second half was all Linfield, and though we never doubled our lead, the 1-0 victory was actually more comfortable than the score suggested.14 points clear, 1 game in hand...realistically, 10 wins from our final 17 games was the most we’d need to secure the title, and just 7 or 8 should have done the trick from there. That run of form taking us to this position earnt me a 3rd consecutive manager of the month award, and my 4th of 6 this season so far. Manager of the Year seemed a virtual shoo-in! Does anyone else who plays in the Northern Irish Leagues find the All-Ireland Cup very annoying? The group phases start just as the title race hots up, and for some reason the competition spans two seasons. It’s so irritating! Wish I could leave those games to my assistant! Anyway, before we could wrap up the league, we had a chance to further rub it in the noses of Glentoran in the League Cup Final. After 90 goalless minutes, we threw an extra striker on but the deadlock still wouldn’t be broken and we went to penalties. The first 8 were converted perfectly, making it 4-4 and effectively sudden death. Glens’ Smith put his penalty wide and Jonathan Hayes had the chance to win Linfield yet another pot. Seconds later, the Linfield players mobbed the 30 year old winger and another trophy was Linfield’s! 18 Cup wins now in under 10 seasons...there could be more to come this year, and a first league title seemed almost certain. As for the clean sweep – it came another step closer as we overcame Cliftonville despite a bizarre own goal from Rodrigues, to reach the semi-final of the Irish Cup. The draw meant it could well be Glentoran who stood in our way in the final hurdle for the clean sweep for this season’s available trophies... A Glentoran defeat to struggling Ballymena, who were almost certain to be involved in the relegation playoff at least, put us just two wins away from securing the title, although even with 9 games to go it seemed all but certain that the title was wrapped up anyway. By that time Glens had drawn 7 and lost 7 of their 30 games, and that’s just not really championship form, is it! They were scrapping with Glenavon for 3rd place from then on, realistically. The only target we had left to achieve this season, other than winning that final cup, was 100 points, for which we’d need to win every one of our 9 remaining games. Unlikely though not impossible. The title could have been wrapped up at home the very next game with a victory, if Glentoran lost to Portadown. Otherwise it was almost certain not to be Windsor Park that saw Linfield clinch it. An own-goal by Portadown’s right back in the 2nd minute more or less put that to bed, but it wasn’t likely to stop our irresistible procession to a big moment in my career – the securing of a first league title. That said, we went back into the home dressing room against Cliftonville at half time losing 1-0, whilst Glens had doubled their lead. My wonderful players wouldn’t let that last long – we hadn’t lost in 25 games in all competitions and that wasn’t to start today, whether or not we could actually win the league. A scorcher from Hayes put us level 8 minutes after the break, and his corner was met after 68 minutes by a towering header from Prosser. That was the end of the scoring, and it meant that a victory at Distillery 3 days later would precede a title-winning party. In honour of the occasion, I ensure that every single YP at the club was on the pitch, although it remains to be seen whether we’ll ever be able to field an entire team of them!! Given that Distillery lost 10-1 to 11th placed Newry while we were thrashing Cliftonville, I wasn’t overly concerned by them. Mullan, returning from injury, was only fit enough for the bench but Hayes’ form was so good that I didn’t care.11 minutes in, Whoriskey opened the scoring from the spot. Good work from Doyle allowed him to double his and Linfield’s tally five minutes later, and that was more or less that. Yet another corner, from Harvey, gave Whoriskey a hat-trick before half time, and Miskimmon kept him company by adding a 4th immediately afterwards. Doyle joined the party on 57’, and that was that. Distillery had conceded 15 goals in two games, and Linfield were champions, with 7 games to spare! The celebrations went on long into the night, and the blue half of Belfast was jubilant! AND – two major targets were still to come – 100 points was still possible, not to mention the clean sweep of domestic trophies... The rest of the league season, the focus was mainly on getting the YPs into the team for every single game to try to develop them further, particularly the younger ones such as Bell, Rodrigues and Nelson. Though a winning streak came to an end against Institute in the next game, and with it the chance to reach 100 points, I was hoping we could continue our unbeaten run through into next season. With the league split still to come, resulting in some tough games against top-half teams, that was a big challenge. Firstly, there was the Cup Semi to negotiate, against Tobermore. First half goals from Callaghan and Doyle were more than enough, and we were just one game away from a clean sweep. And a bonus came the next day when Glenavon beat Glentoran on their own patch in the other semi-final so I wouldn’t even have to beat Glentoran to win the cup. Yes, perhaps the season’s successes were partly due to some good luck, but still, this really is a great season in my FM history. My first league title in any league but the English Premiership. I won my 5th consecutive manager of the month award, 6th in 8 months. We beat Glentoran just once more, in the league, just to maximise the eventual points gap, and make it 30 games unbeaten. Glens had a really close battle on their hands again, but only for 2nd place this year. A couple of dull 0-0 draws meant the eventual gap was not as big as it could have been. The Cup final against Glenavon came around and for the 2nd time in a row, a final went to penalties. 5 perfect spot kicks gave us a clean sweep of the trophies on offer in Northern Ireland this year. What a season, close to perfect. With a final victory, over Tobermore, the great season came to an end. This was the final table, as we finished 27 points clear of Glenavon, who hilariously pipped Glentoran to 2nd place, and my squad stats looked like this. The less significant players last year were off my laptop screen! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his form did dip so that was inevitable. The rotation meant that my two top goalscorers were a centre back and Whoriskey, a midfielder. But still a decent, though unspectacular season.

Another stupidly good season, but the bad news is I’ll now have to sell him as he wont sign a new contract and only has another year to run. I cant afford to lose him on a bosman so I was looking to sell to the highest bidder as soon as possible... **STOP PRESS** - I have now accepted a bid for him. **UPDATE** - Unfortunately, he wasn’t happy about the fact that I rejected a separate bid from Rosenborg. If they offer more, I’ll accept, David! Otherwise, it’s Al-Hilal for you! **2nd UPDATE** - He has accepted a contract from Al-Hilal. I delayed the transfer hoping that Rosenborg would come in with a huge 11th hour bid. But he will go, for a minimum of £4.7m! That's huge for us. Current balance is £120,000.

At least five times he passed 500 minutes without conceding this season, and throughout his career his clean sheet ratio has been out of step with his ratings. He might or might not be a great ‘keeper – you just can’t tell! When you consider that 6.8 is the default rating, his average rating this year doesn’t exactly tell you that he’s been very busy. The fact is a monkey could keep a clean sheet behind a team playing as well as we did this year!!! 26 goals conceded, 58 games played. Amazing.

GreyedOutMan Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 LINFIELD – SEASON 2017-18 I’ll now give you a summary of the various events/stats etc of the summer, with screenshots for the important ones for my YPs etc. **Not so much a summer thing, but you might’ve noticed Aaron Callaghan had a good season. It really was good! I’ve never seen a defender be a club’s top goalscorer in a season before. **For the third year running, a YP won the Young Player of the Year award. Nelson had a good season, although you could argue Bell perhaps deserved it more.... **The top goalscorer award was dominated, not by Linfield’s strikers, but by our defenders and midfielders!! **Mullan won the Player of the Year award for the 2nd year running. Unsurprising really. **At last, I got the recognition that Glentoran managers past had always taken from me! **I got my biggest job offer yet. Portsmouth had just finished 5th in the Premiership but Phil Parkinson had jumped ship, and I was offered the job. £10m transfer budget, £1.2m weekly wage budget, £12,500 weekly pay. I’d have to be mad to turn that down, right?! But I did! **Some more evidence of a FANTASTIC season for Linfield! **For the first time in 5 years, the Linfield fans’ player of the season wasn’t a YP – yes, it was Callaghan, of course! He also broke the Average Rating record that Mullan took last season. **8 YPs made it into this season’s Team of the Year. **7 of them are currently in the historical team – Rodrigues was inducted this year. **As I finish writing this report, England have begun their World Cup campaign in Argentina poorly, losing 2-1 to Portugal. But with Saudi Arabia and Togo also in the group, we should be OK for the 2nd round. Expect a report at the start of the next update! And finally.... … The new YP is... YP11 Philip Elliott The easiest decision ever. Assistant recommended him but it was immediately obvious that he was the one to go with anyway. He could pretty much get into the first team on merit. Hell - he could get into the first team for an English Premiership club!!! See for yourself!! ...and I have to say, it’s quite wonderful to see Glentoran having to start their season on June 20th this time! Ha! Our turn to have a nice simple pre-season! Phew these are getting long. I did think about the YP reports, and they really dont take up enough time or space to cut, but these things are taking longer and longer to do so if anyone else has any ideas, please let me know - especially regarding what to do with Miskelly and future retired players. I want to keep them in the posts but perhaps it could go in the end of season report, just a little section with the small summaries for retired YPs? What do we think?

GreyedOutMan Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just starting to get a little bit bored of Linfield. Ive downloaded some NI graphics to try to keep it a bit fresh, but I might start a new save soon - if i win a few more championships it will jsut start to feel too easy, too. Might see if i can take a BSS team to the Prem using YPs - one thing i've really learnt is that they can really help you, because they can sometimes be great players and even if they dont, having someone you more or less HAVE to play in a position means you dont have to sign anyone and you can build finances so that you can sign better and better players when you do need someone....of course the lack of European money in the lower leagues is an issue, but hopefully I'll get used to it. Will stick with Linfield for the moment though, the Champs League adventure has been exciting. Post POSSIBLY coming tonight, if not tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Would anyone be prepared to send me their game just to take a look, see how you've managed to take these tiny teams to huge successes? Want to start preparing for a possible assault of Dafuge's challenge... I will return to the awesomeness that is my Linfield save, and Doyle WILL make it to 1000! But not for a while.

Im at work so dont have my save but my advice is get the best scouts that you can and always listen to them. You could also depend on a parent club to send you great players on loan.

hamilton162 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 To add to that, up until the Championship, you can get really good players on free's. Just check the out section of the transfers of EPL clubs and you should find a few gems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has just made it onto the club's favoured personnel YP 2 - Ali G 2 - Ian Hyde - AMC Initial Profile Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 - Stats Another one to make the position his own. In dire needs in the middle of matches I actually played him in AMC and he normally played well. He also learned to "Play killer balls" YP 3 - Ali G 3 - Charlie Sinclair - DC Initial Profile Season 1 Season 2 - Stats Disappointed in the games he played. Not good enough for the level. Letting him go ASAP. YP 4 - Ali G 4 - Julian Wagstaff - DR/L, WBR Initial Profile Season 1 - Stats The same as Ali G 3. Disappointed when given a chance. Will let him go soon too. And the newbie: YP 5 - Ali G 5 - Ben Walker - DM, MC Initial Profile Another dud. Will be let go at the end of his youth contract and hopefully can find some fame in the lower leagues.

GreyedOutMan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Have started a Boreham Wood game (Dafuge Challenge), during which I will be doing YP updates. Will do them in the same style as before, if everyone's cool with that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyedOutMan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks hamilton. Wont be having a YP this year though - i took over the save from someone else (I couldnt get Boreham Wood for love nor money!) after the youth players came through and anyway, the squad isnt strong enough to give me the luxury of selecting just one to use, so first YP will be 2010-11, when hopefully my squad will be a bit bigger/better. Watch this space! Although having thought about it, they will be rather stripped down versions in this game. I dont wanna be writing epic posts for each season on two different threads! Will interlink them though. And I will return to Linfield at some point. Wanna get Doyle up towards 1000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsmith1989 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I do hope so. I feel i'm giving up on my youths too early and I feel I have let far too many leave. The way I play my games though is to bring in the best youth from around the world, so I often compare my own youth players against the best the world has to offer and always feel let down.Hopefully that won't be the case this time.

tomsmith1989 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Don't think i've ever seen such a versatile youth before. If he manages to get really good then he could be a great asset to any squad. It seems he's fitting in with the general versatility of your youths. Have you looked to get Parsons a loan deal? If he has the potential to be as good as Puckett then he needs some first team football. Puckett is really good. Beckford looks like a superstar already. Lucky you.

hamilton162 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Several offers have come in to take Parsons on loan for the season, most of them saying that he'll be a key player for them. tbh, i've played FM A LOT and these are some of the best players i've had since i started playing it, so for them to come through my academy is just insane. Marc Beckford (My Son) could score over 50 a season if i didn't have Bernard Brennan leading the line! Puckett is just insane, the best creative force in the world at only 19. He'll be a superstar! Hopefully you can get some youth players like that developing like my lot are Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyedOutMan Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Boreham Wood Youth Playing Dafuge's challenge, so my YPs wont be the focus and the posts wont be as in-depth on here, but I will keep posting. My first player: Chris Docherty A decent defender. Could be a future first team player. EDT: Watch this space. And perhaps omit the words "could" and "future", because he already is!

GreyedOutMan Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 BOREHAM WOOD YOUTHS SEASON 2010-11 For a season report, see Dafuge’s challenge, as that is where this game is “based”! But I am going to keep doing this, and hopefully have some decent YPs to report on. This, as you’ll see, is a good start. But very disappointed to see that in the four days its taken me to play this season, no-one else has reported! That’s unusual! The Young Players – Each with TOTAL career stats. Prodigy 1: Chris Docherty – Summer 2011 Update. Initial Profile 2010-11: Boreham Wood Summary Had a great start to his career, coming on as a sub for his debut with 10 minutes to go against Bath, and scoring a goal! Continued strongly, scoring a further three goals in his next three games (all starting XI of course). By his 5th appearance he’d managed seven goals, and his average rating had soared. And it continued. By half way through the season he was clearly one of, if not the best player in the squad. By the end of the season, he was clearly the best, and not only that, his aerial prowess had made him the club’s top goalscorer. And he was the best player at the end of the season by a country mile! Awesome YP here! And he won the Fans’ Player of the Year!!

Have a look over at Dafuge’s challenge for lots more info about how I’m doing more generally... And finally.... … The new YP is... YP2 Brendan Fox I had a decent AMR too, and it was a close call. This guy looks like the best of the bunch but I doubt he’ll live up to his predecessor. This is his initial profile, and this is his coach report.
