Tartan Dave Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 A generous europa playoff draw considering galatasaray were an option. Snuck through with a second half fightback in the second leg. Switched to a 424 and it paid dividends. we are also now minted, bournemouth offering 10 million for a guy Ross County released 18 months prior. I'll take that. got dear back on loan for a small fee to take his place. Graeme shinnie returns to the club where he came through. Bad league start and suspect be a long season with europa games but I'll take that anyday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Holy fucking moly. Never had a run as bad as this. My players are absolute morons. Gonna break my own rule and get an emergency loan in for centre half because we're not a million miles away from averaging 3 goals against per game. Once the form goes in this fm it's near impossible to get it back. Clearly I had the flip of that last season. europa been hilariously bad. Chucked a couple of the games to try give players a rest but then squad morale just gets worse. coming back from winter break to rangers away in the cup (old firm again) and fiorentina. Which will have the players at rock bottom once again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 On 10/03/2023 at 15:21, Tartan Dave said: And new stadium complete. The roddy mcgregor arena. 25k highlanders baying for central belt scotland blood every week. facilities are in a very good place. Really should be winning the title in the next 5 seasons Superb thread, had a good chuckle at the Roddy Macgregor arena 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 (edited) We definitely became a wee bit harder to beat toward the end of season but mamma mia that was a slog. Emergency centre half probably made me a bit more solid but feels a bit shit having to do it. roddy mcgregor scored 3 of the 5 playoff goals v Accies so he's well on way to getting a stadium named after him in this save too. board have given me a massive budget for next season which I can't really spend unless a couple young guys change their minds about wanting a move from down south. They also refused to upgrade youth facilities but we do have decent recruitment and coaching now. hoping if we win a couple early next season it will be a lot more comfy with less fixtures. We also own the stadium now, not sure what benefit that brings in game scotland is down to 17th in the co-efficient, I don't think my run helped... swezwe left in january for hee haw but can deal with it because I ripped the same club off for the young guy earlier in year.

Tartan Dave Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 The game seems to like this guy but I just don't see it. Would definitely take that value for him. Maybe could be adapted to a new position 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Missed out a photo of league ^. Me and st mirren were bottom with 25 points, nearest teams were on about 33. That draw with st mirren I scored a last minute equaliser 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Better start to season. Handy St J going down to 10. New centre half in for a small fee. Born in Portree. Facilities looking good. Youth player poached by city, really shit feature that imo. What's the point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Pretty solid stuff. One game a week (generally) makes such a difference. Picked up Groat for 3.8 mill, he has a release clause below 7 but he is brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 We snuck up behind and leapfrogged Hibs late in the season to secure third. Third, eleventh, third is a fairly interesting first 3 seasons. We are leaking money hut hopefully get group stage football again and get some back. Groat is wanted by clubs and has a 7 mill or so release clause but no one has met it yet. It would solve the finances, but he's by a distance my best player so I'd rather keep for a season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 A great start to the season, losing only to the big 2 in league. Squeezed through conference league qualifiers and sold Groat (with loan back) so finances saved a little bit. Some enjoyable greeting by Cowie, not sure i've seen that one before. Fyffe scoring a couple goals upfront but a real striker would be nice. Dear back on loan is handy as can rotate wingers a bit. Squad depth killed me last time in europe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Sauntering on in the league but chucked the league cup final. 2-0 up and bottled it. We also chucked a 2 goal load to some Georgian mob in the midweek before but i more or less had the 19's out to rest for final so I understood that. frustrating as Rangers are bad this season. Solid stuff though. Really should have been 6/6 in conference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 A bit of a bed shitting again towards end of season and really threw away second and a decent chance at europa conference. Rangers went onto lose final. Grimes and Hunt have both left for about 10 million each so we're loaded. grimes with a loan back. dear and Morrison have joined permanently. nothing from youth candidates again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Slow start to the league but wom the europa conference games which is more important at start of season. not much depth in squad this season so I'd be happy to sneak top 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Another bit of a disastrous end to the season. We were 2 ahead of 10 man rangers in extra time in conference league and transpired to lose on pens. Celtic at hampden in semi was always going to be tough. No europe next year. After the split I couldn't reach 5th so played the youngest half decent guys for first time I've signed ryan christie as player/director of football stadium being expanded to i think 12k so will be sharing with Clach next year. The joys. missed a mid season update but form was fairly solid through until about march 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Nice solid start to season and will have our second cup final of this save v St Johnstone. No europe really helps with player stamina. Got swezwe (youth product) back on loan and good for depth. As is Liverpool full back who's come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 An injury crisis struck around the final and we blew our best chance of silverware. Out on penalties in scottish to rangers in 4th round also. we got a good regen! we are also infiltrating the scottish youth teams now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 A fairly uneventful league season so far but a legendary crack at the europa including an absolute smash and grab in Bilbao to guarantee our route through. i always forget to update on signings but hunt and grimes are back. Mcgregor is out. I am drowning in debt but the europa run will kick in and save me I think... I hope 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Dave Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 After a fairly boring 6th last season we have started this season well. Helps with no europe. Young is going to go for a fortune at some stage I hope included league position history 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
