Update from centre parcs

I've been to enough funerals in my life without watching one for someone I don't know I do get why people are watching though, the event itself is a spectacle and the likes of which we never see so I've kinda got it on in the background

Manchester?

If you say so

South Shields Season 2022/23 Review - Vanarama National League North League - A strange season, we started Ok but couldn't really put a run of form together but as the team learned my tactic and gelled we kicked on, we were always in the top 3 or 4 but at times there was 3 points between 1st and 7th so everyone was a bit all over the place. With around 10 games to go there was a clear top 3 of us, York and Hereford and by sheer luck we all played each other in the space of a bout a week. York beat Hereford, Hereford beat us and we beat York to leave it pretty much as we were I did think the Hereford defeat would cost us we were 1-1 when they had a man sent off just before the hour, battered them for 30 mins and then they broke from our corner and we gave away a 90th minute pen to lose. York fell away so came down to Hereford and us, they stumble with only 2 ins in their final 7 games but we only won 4 of those 7! Final day were joint top but they had a much better GD. We needed to better their result and we won1-0 away to 9th placed Gloucester and to my shock they lost 1-0 away to 18th placed Southport to give us the title and promotion. They also lost in the playoff semi final to continue their awful run in. FA Cup - Harsh draw away to Wrexham knocked us out early. We hung in but 2 goals in the final 10 mins wrapped it up for them FA Trophy - Wish I could say I rotated here but Boston smashed us, we had a man sent off at 0-0 after 30 mins that didn't help and we never recovered from that Transfers - I inherited a big squad so was able to move a couple on to bring in some funds Squad - Having experience of this side I knew who the key players were and got them tied down to long term new deals as soon as I took over so we should be OK for a couple season while the youth develop Youth Intake - Our first intake isn't bad for this level but some very poor personalities so that's something I'll be looking at going forward Brian O'Hanlon YP01A - Wide option even though he's meant to be a ST Justin Harris YP01B - Could be a decent little box to box player for us in our system Oscar Wilkinson YP01C - Wide option, like his physicals for the role Mat Brennan YP01D - Like above, a wide option that is meant to be a ST Peter Bartlett YP01E - OK looking RB Career Overview Season League Position Notes 2022/23 NLN 1st Champions, started first coaching badge

OK well after much stopping and starting it's time for me to return home (in an FM sense, it's actually the other end of the country for me) with South Shields. Profile

I'm complaining cos we've got no game

Maybe I'm cynical but I honestly think because they assumed everyone else would cancel they wanted to be the first for the PR and now they just look stupid.

Have to pay extra for that surely?

Not really, day she died games were off and then day of funeral the following week were off but there was midweek games and we played the Friday night (day before the funeral)

Yeah I'm the same. You know pretty what I went through so I'll make SOME jokes but never willingly disrespect the feeling of loss her family will be feeling tonight. I even said on twitter that the waiting for the end was the worst thing, it feels like forever but also like no time at all because you don't want them to go.

After seeing this I fully support the idea of all games being off

Bet this one doesn't end up buried in a car park in Leicester

It's probably going to happen you'd think but yeah does seem a little premature to be coming out and saying it

Assuming this means after tonights games

All those people outside Buckingham palace look like a horde of zombies

I dunno why you keep posting this seeing as a) this is a pretty decent source of information and b) you're one the ones listed

Waiting a long time as the game is off due to fighting between fans

You don't have to hate yourself to try this every season but it helps

I mean I may or my not be currently holidaying a couple of countries to have a look around. Seems like not enough time to complete this again before FM23 but I like a challenge and let's be honest this challenge is less about completing it and more about how much we like to punish ourselves isn't it?

I'm starting to get the old FM itch again I have to say....

Well done, sometimes taking a short break and returning can help, it did with my attempt last year, have added you to the HoF

Firstly sorry for late response, am away currently so not really checking forums right now, but with regards to the question I've not seen or looked into the files enough to really understand what they do but if they change things like nations youth ratings then I'm leaning towards them not being eligible for this challenge. Unless @XaW has some experience with it and knows more than me I'm gonna say they can't be used for now.

Congrats on another completion. Added this one to the HoF as well
