When you have trained you eyes to follow the ball in the match at the highest speed.

Probably related but my eyes now unfocus for a second some times

Whilst reading this list you have football manager open in another window

While doing the Promenade walk in Salthill, you think to yourself (as manager of Salthill Devon):

"If I could just land Ben Webster for central midfield, I'd own this city!"

BeanFlicker

when the club you support sign a new player you never heard of so you check his stats on FM to see if he is any good & whats his future potential, including a scout reports etc

On this,
If, when you take over a club, or switch club mid career, you photoshop a picture of yourself in the club jersey/colors to make it more realistic.

markesmith

You decide to save the game and go off and have a think to yourself as to whether Brian Shelley is really the man to solve your weak area at right-back.

I remember a few years back on another forum a lad documenting how he got dressed up in a suit just to play a FA Cup final on FM.

When a manager in the game says somehting bad about you, you carry the hatred onto real life :mad:

Zola and Allardyce said my team wouldn't win the league, ****!

Reganio 2

When you are after spending about 15 hours over the past 3 days writing down on paper, your Liverpool team and sorting out training schedules even for the blokes who are never gonna make it Havent even played a game yet

Fat Sam talking utter guff? Pretty true to life right there.

You can easily convince yourself playing FM in lectures is reasonable study for your management module.

PomBear

The one that gets me most, being shocked how young a player is IRF because they're in their thirties in your game.

Captain Havoc

When you see all of the comments in this thread as being completely normal.

Glico Man

When you giggle like a school girl when you manage to get a squad player to like you


Also, when you feel a sense of pride and togetherness when some of your staff leave with you if you get sacked or if you resign. We're in it together brothers!!

Rojiblancos

When you win the Champions League with Bolton!

And..when you remember the wasted potential of a young Freddy Adu

And if you do get caught and your friend asks whats wrong? instead of telling the embarrassing truth, you say "i just go an email saying my Cousin just died!". :cool:


If your team is going down the drain this could possible be your 5th cousin to die this week.

It was on the Football365 forums. I'd say it's long since lost to time at this stage.

When you continue playing FM08 until two days ago because you want to win the World Cup with Brazil in 2022 having won the league/Champs League and the two cups (apart from a year or two) for 15 consecutive years and establshing Manchester City as a dynasty who's youth team feeds the first team and is never stuck for money....then deciding you want to win the Euros so you resign from Brazil and plump for Italy, who are awesome. I figure I can get through the two years in afew months...then I'll buy FM12 hehe

barrybo

When you win the champions league with Cork city after years of attempts! 15 years of LOI titles before I managed it!

jam08

when a team signs someone for big money and you have a little chuckle and remember how you bought him for half a million in one of the older games!

When you're watching a City match, and when a player misses, you turn to your buddy and say 'Would've scored that on Football Manager' :pac:

Mc Love

When you play it at work :O
