Want to write for our blog? Get in touch about becoming a sortitoutsi writer.

For a third year running the beast that is the British Steel returns to the challenge section for all of you that want to challenge yourself within the British Isles.

So what is the challenge: You have to win every trophy from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland in any order you want. However you must only use British and Irish players!

With no on conquering this challenge over the last two years its proved to not be as easy as some people assume and we welcome every challenger to try and be the first!

The challenge is made a little easier by counting promotion from finishing second in the league, or via the playoffs as the title but this is your choice. Any success in Europe or with the national teams are just an added note on your history but won't count towards this challenge.

Below is a screenshot and I will add everyone who takes part to the challenge leaderboard and add your story so people can follow it easily. Once you've won a trophy be it league or cup, I will need to see a screenshot for it to count.

Rules:

Only use British and Irish players
Must start with Sunday League Reputation
You may start at a club or start unemployed, your choice
You MUST send me a screenshot of each trophy won for it to count

Below is the list of playable trophy's within the game when you load all the home nations.(Downloaded competitions and expansions are not allowed)

England
Fa Trophy, Blue Square North/South, Blue Square Premiership, Johnson's Paint trophy, nPower League Two, nPower League One, nPower Championship, League Cup, Community Shield, FA Cup, Premiership

All the best to all the challengers....

You know what, I'll give this a go. Will be a useful distraction from Monaco. LOL. BTW, how do I send in my trophies since I am NOT doing a proper thread for this one?

Oh and can I start a new game after I have gone thru say, 3 countries? My computer gets super laggy after many seasons. Besides, it would give me the option to use FMC!

You can add/remove leagues on FMC. I am doing this challenge on FMC so my computer won't lag up too bad in later seasons. Plus, the 10 hour max season is nice when your looking at like 20->30 seasons here.

Sorry chaps, I can't see it being the same if you load up say a second game once you have completed up to half the challenge. You must do it all in ONE SAVE

Well done to BOWC as he makes it a perfect ten and continues to storm away from the competition whilst Maiden adds his first

The Inter Cup was my 2nd, I won BSS with Havant remember

Well I've run into a big and frigging annoying problem here. All my staff left at the end of the season (wouldnt even enter contract negotiations), and I cant get any new ones. Noone, regardless of rep will enter contract talks, noone reponding to adverts..so currently I have no Ass Manager, Coaches, Scouts or Physio.

I cant run a club with no staff, its crazy, so looks like the only option is to resign and go elsewhere, I had high hopes for this season too

Has anyone else run tnto this problem?

Can I pick whatever team I want to start off with? Or do I have to be unemployed?

E: Wow, I didn't read the first post properly. That's great, I'll start off with Rangers (seems like the Scottish stuff should be easyish).

Add me in to this one!

Started unemployed and joined Athlone Town in the Irish First Division...as seems to be a pretty common starter, I suppose. Unfortunately I loaded up the game in June so was already halfway through the Irish season when I joined. Finished 3rd in the table then but am now well on my way to winning the First Division in 2013.

Seem to do pretty well in cup runs until I inevitably end up facing Shamrock Rovers, damn them. ¬_¬

Latest addition to the challenge stokerino has made a storming start to the competition by adding two trophies almost immediately over in Ireland with Athlone!

I've not been doing so well in he SPL though unfortunatly, I can't get any consistancy at the moment so it may be another season or two before I complete Scotland.

After reading whole this thread, I might join the competition.

I think it won't be easy for a new player of FM and not really being familiarize with British league's, but that way it won't be boring for a long time i guess.

Just one question can i use FMC or do i need to take normal play?
