Football Manager Oddities

I know there is a FM thread on here already, but I thought I'd create one for people to share their strangest stories of possibly the best game ever conceived for the PC. If anyone has any screenshots, then even better.

I know there is a funny screenshot thread that has been running on thedugout for years now, and I love seeing them.

The two strangest things that have ever happened to me on FM are:

1) On FM09, John Pantsil scoring a volley against me from his own 6-yard box. I had a corner and he volleyed it direct from the corner into the back of the net. It came up as "An incredible 110-yard strike!!". I was not happy.

2) On FM01 (I think), I was asked about a referees performance and I criticised him. The F.A. issued a response saying this was not the first complaint they'd had against this particular referee and that he had been struck off their books . Never saw that happen ever again.

Please share your crazy stories.

You can download it free now off the net and its a great way of wasting away a few hours.

Great game, I downloaded it the other day. Its even got updates to bring teams/players up to date but I prefer the great players of those days, with guys like Raul, Henry in their peaks!

FM09. Won the Quadruple at Man Utd, Welbeck top scorer with 46 in all competitions. Then next season, start it on fire. Rafael gets sent off in European Super Cup, lost 3-0 to ROMA! (Best team ever in FM09) and my whole season collapsed. Came 11th, got fired.

Maybe thats just your skills or lack of as a manager?

Oh yeah not sure if you saw my dilemma article where Tottenham were running away with the league, but I managed to reel them in and in the end I only beat Man Utd to the title by goal difference!
