Fourth season syndrome at Airdrie. Turns out I’ve built a really poor team and we’ve hit a total brick wall in form and consistency. Can go two or three games grinding one goal wins then go to St Johnstone and are blown away 3-0 despite having an xG of 0.4. Also in most games we seem to hit the woodwork two or three times and the opposition score their only shot on target. So just the usual FM match engine foibles. Fighting away in mid table and it’s a battle of attrition for the Europa League places.

What's your issue?
The price is one thing. I pay to watch online because I’m exiled and can’t make it to games, but I thought the quality was mince too. Shaky camcorder with the corners blocked by scaffolding, I was getting dizzy after the first few minutes.
I don’t for a minute think that Airdrie’s solution is the finished article either, but at least it’s a fixed, stable camera that spans the whole pitch. Admittedly it’s a bit grainy when it zooms in but it’s more than adequate.

This is, by a distance, the worst PPV live stream I’ve seen yet.

This must be the first time I’ve completed 2 seasons so quickly in a save. Now into the Premiership after cantering to the Championship title. Semi final of Scottish Cup, won the Challenge Cup but didn’t get out of the groups in the League Cup. My 4-5-1 still has my twin Mezzalas as top goal scorers and assisters. Had to be very experimental with recruitment. Fair to say that Ade Azeez didn’t work, so ended up with a mish mash of players released from good youth teams and loans - Edwin Andersson from Chelsea being one named in the top 50 wonderkids. Have a look at Sam McClelland who was released after season one at Chelsea in my save. The guy is colossal.
Buckling down for the assault on the Prem now. Haven’t signed anyone of note but continuing to wheel and deal. Moved a young centre mid on to Hearts for £140k which helps the coffers, and the vultures are circling for McClelland due to his £400k release clause. Money in the door is money in the door but would prefer to keep him.

Dumbarton fans attempting to take the moral high ground after 3 of their players and their manager were sent off. Safe to say… rattled.

Panicked a bit with recruitment for the second season for a stab at the Championship. Kept my top scorer & top assister in Adam Frizzell, Rhys McCabe will stay in the holding role and League 1 player of the season Josh Kerr stays. Second top scorer Agnew retired. Fordyce, Currie & Gallagher wanted to “explore their options” and left. Everyone else just wasn’t good enough to sustain a challenge in the second tier. Rico Quitongo wanted to leave and managed to get £22k for him.
Signed some absolute jobbers and blew through my wage budget. Had players wanting £2.5k a week off of me then going to other teams for £500 a week which I don’t know if it’s a bug but it certainly is very frustrating. Dynamics undoubtedly has taken a hit and lost first league cup game with Hearts 1-0. Ade Azeez is now my top earner after he was top scorer in the national league.

Scott Agnew legend.

What a time to be alive.
And Rico Quitongo has been handed a call up for Angola. Hopefully he doesn’t get eaten by a lion like his grandfather.

Can't really argue with much of what you've said there tbh, someone had also mentioned this is the first time since he's came in where this is totally 100% his own team and players.
The biggest criticism I've aimed at IM in the past is taking too long to find a settled team, we always go between 7-12 games at the start of the season and we try a couple of formations with numerous changes week on week until something works. I also wholeheartedly agree about improving each year, its been in small increments but looking where we were in Finldays last game, a 3-1 home defeat to Brechin vs. last weeks comfortable win at Falkirk, I don't think anyone can argue its like 2 different clubs, never mind teams.
Since 2002 I believe Murray has the highest points per game ratio of all of the charlatans that have been in post. I was expecting him to go in the summer as a ‘natural end’ type thing after the play off with Morton, but he’s clearly got his own team on the park now to play the style he wants and doesn’t have anyone poking about above him. I’ve seen fans put money on us winning the league at 16s and as excited as I am I still think Cove or QP will eventually walk (not run) away with the league, but I do think we certainly have a chance of going one better in the playoffs.

Having already put the Sheep and the Tories out I don’t feel to bad about getting to the Final. League form still a bit ropey but a decent cup run.

Do Airdrie not release attendance figures any more? Can’t find them anywhere.

Is it just me or is there an unusual amount of red cards, injuries and players missing easy opportunities?
Are you managing Dumbarton?

That is the most bizarre match ever. Murray and print and the fat c**t in the Airdrie dugout should be ashamed of celebrating like that against basically a 7 aside team.
Foul on the keeper at the end and that ref should never be allowed near any pitch again.
Glorious.

Meant to add that in 2024-25, Queen’s Park are in the Premiership. They’re playing at Pollok’s Newlandsfield ground and were relegated at the end of the season with 3 points (3 draws).
