I once had a glitch where i bought a player from a dutch team, it gave me the player, but didn't remove him from the dutch team, so there were 2 of them. so i signed the other one as well, and had 2 identical players.

I remember on Championship manager 01/02 a player getting banned for 6 months for assault on a ref. Never seen it since.

Your link on the other thread doesnt send to this article btw.

However in FM09 I remember once I beat inter 19-0 in the San Siro! Aguero scoring 6, GDS scoring 3 and Inter getting 10 own goals (of which 5 were Ceasers fault). Really bizarre situation.

Brilliant, did you have a favourite? Did you have to nickname them so you wouldn't forget who's who?

My mate once had RVN score 102 goals in a season for him for Utd but I think he was using the GK cheat.

just set the nickname to be their name with a 1 or a 2 at the end

I'd bemoan your lack of originality but at one point my CB pairing were both called Eduardo. They ended up being Eduardo 1 & 2.

i remember a comment passed between myself and a mate (can't recall which actually said it) that everyone called marcelo on that version (think it was about 08) seemed to be quality...

i then set about making a team of all marcelo's

We all dream of a team of Marcelo's
a team of Marcelo's
a team of Marcelo's

It isn't nessecarily that odd but after years of success with Blackburn Rovers they decided to name their stadium after me... needless to say I was pretty damn shocked...

Also going back a bit to when it was Championship Manager 97/98, was playing the game with a family friends son. Anyway he showed me the mighty Micheal Twiss on the game, absolutely terrible stats but he got around 20 a season in the premier league for Coventry...

The stadium was a new one they were building rather than a renaming...

I remember a game on 97/98 where Hull City went all the way from Division 3 to the Premier League in just 4 years. The mighty Mark Hateley just seemed to bang them in in every division.

It made me laugh at how ridiculous an idea it was for a team to gain 3 successive promotions, so I couldn't believe it when a few seasons later they did it in real life

I swear there's something freaky about that game.

not so much an oddity in the game, but with my clock.... somehow last night it jumped from 10pm to 3am in (what seemed like) a few minutes while playing the new one

Time to change your underwear.

My mate had the worst of luck on that game. Always got sacked.

Started a new career as manager of Liverpool in '10. Torres and Gerrard injured after the first game of the season. About 8 games in the board tell him he is on his final warning or something and that he needs to win his next game (wigan home) or he gets fired. He was 1-0 for most of the game, completely dominating, then about 70th minute one of his defenders scores and own goal and gets sent off at the same time! So odd, he went on to draw the game and in his fury we hit the save button so that he couldnt replay the game. No matter what he did he would always get the sack

You know you've reached a certain level of maturity when you can have a result like that and not restart the game.

My worst ever result was in the Champs League semi-final against AC Milan. I'd beaten them at the San Siro 5-1 so I put out a load of second stringers as it was crunch time in the league and cup and I thought I'd stroll it.

They ended up beating me 6-2 at Eastlands. I've never wanted to rage quit as much in my life

I've not played the new one much as after 8 games in, Suarez, Gerrard, Carroll and Downing are all out for between 1-3 months and I'm too pished off to play it.

I would play the new one but it will interfere as one of my many procrastination that stop me from doing work

i was sooooooooo close to bringing my laptop into work today so i could pick up from where i left off at 3am

the best one was football manager 10 when as newcastle manager i experienced weird things one was leicester away i was 6-0 up inside the first ten minutes and then nothing happened after that
and the best goal was against bristol city when their keeper came running out and booted the ball off the back of the defender and it went in and the poor defender got the own goal and a rubbish rating
later on in like 2014 or something nottingham forest bought fabregas

One time there was a generated player called Hyacinth Die, he was a pretty decent striker actually.

And i think on FM09 i got bored and forwarded the game to 2023 to start from there, i realised Rafa was still Liverpool manager so i checked out his history. he hadn't won a single trophy in the game

The assaulting the ref comment was surprisingly common and was introduced after Di Canio pushed the referee a decade or so ago.

i think the curent top 4 in my game counts as an oddity....

14 games in....

1-Arsenal
2-Spurs
3-Chelsea
4-WOLVES!!!! (however, they might be about to go into freefall... mccarthy has just been headhunted by sunderland)

Wolves > Newcastle.

FAHKT.

"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."

I never saw that happen before. I always got fined for criticising the ref. I can't think of anything that out of the ordinary. One time Clichy accidentally lobbed my own keeper from 40 yards out when attempting a pass back. It was the final cherry on a 5-2 stuffing I took at the hands of Wigan

Hmmm. Back in my student days, I think I played maybe a bit too much? I guess it was the CM93 or 94 version, I actually was forced to retire! How rude. The message was a kind of polite "Thanks for playing so long, but go out now and get a life". A more recent glitch, as England manager I think on the 2006 FM, Rooney was suspended (shocker) for 3 internationals, but the ban never ended! He had a 3 match ban for the rest of his career!

I never let Tottenham beat me so if I am ever losing to them I always restart the game.

Other than that nothing crazy has ever happened in any of my games.

8bit how did you fast forward to 2023?
