Half Man Half Biscuit are a band who, in the 1980's, eschewed the bright lights of Pebble Mill at one and Top of the Pops in favour of watching their beloved Tranmere. Their best known and most successful song was called 'All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit'. Check them out, and thank me later.

First game on 18 since general release. Setting up a friendly trophy for Tranmere Rovers. Dukla Prague are offered as one of the better foreign opposition candidates for the trophy. The big question is this: Will they wear their away kit?

Hi.
I've done it before, but I seem to be struggling in getting my database changes and leagues to work. When I go to add the files, each one appears twice, or four times if I've saved them as a compressed file. If I add both of the files, it adds things like staff preferences twice. When it comes to leagues, it won't work, as I'm unable to add anything with a yellow ! on it. I've moved files here, there and everywhere, all to no avail. I did seem to have two locations for files at one stage too, some under public documents, and some under my user docs. All is now in one, under my user. Pleas help, this is driving me potty! All I want to do is manage the Curaçao national team, as edited by me! I have also tried using third party leagues, and had exactly the same problem. Any ideas?

How about giving detailed interviews with media outlets. In the uk and Spain, various managers appear on radio stations, discussing things that relate to their team, and other teams they've managed. You could have in depth, football focus style interviews once or twice a season too.

If you are unemployed, or a national manager, how about being offered a role as a pundit on a game?

All of this (along with being allowed to select more than one preferred club) could allow you to build up a real managerial personality.

Ah, well stuff you :-p .

I'll find a DB that suits, and then cut out for that instead. I might even post my results!

Think I preferred it before you discovered real life ;-)

Thanks all the same. :-)

Most of the players are dual nationality (with Dutch), so as I move up the world rankings, a few more might be tempted.

Is there a free program to do cut outs these days, as my (dodgy) copy of photoshop was about two computers ago. I used to dabble with cutting, but the megapack has (mostly) saved me the bother.

I also have a plan to do a small additional database with 100 or so Japanese players and J-League expats. I don't want to play the j-league, but want the Japanese team to be closer to reality. Could I persuade you to cut that for me?

Cheers Rowan. Still cutting out I see.

I've found a fourth Curaçaoan keeper. It seems he was generated at the start of the game. He seems to be holding on for the Dutch team. Hopefully when he realises that he might actually get a game for us, he might stop being so silly! Fingers crossed!

Hi

I've been playing a game as national manager of Curaçao. We're doing quite well, and have even won the Caribbean cup. Thing is, when the game gives me regens, are they going to be in broadly similar positions to my existing players? The reason I ask is that I only have three Curaçaoan goalkeepers to choose from, and was wondering if I was stuck with them until one of them retires.

Can you help guys?
