Oh. Sorry. I think you mis-understood what I said.

The EU wanted to protect the steel industry (including in this country) from cheap Chinese steel dumps. That would have propped up our industry and would probably have lead to Tata steel staying. The UK fought tooth and nail to stop them from doing that for over 3 years, and in 2016, as I'm sure you're aware, that led to Tata steel pulling out, at which point the UK government refused to bail out the steel industry in the same way they did the banks.

The crisis of manufacturing in this country, like most other things, is entirely a problem of our own making.

Agreed I know its of our own making, as I said we buy from abroad when we need not do so.
Surely keeping more manufacturing here has got to be good for our economy.
I am no politician of course nor am I the most intelligent but come on, too much relying on others when we surly could do some of it ourselves.....or am I wrong?

Irony right here is that EU wanted to impose tariffs on Chinese exports of Steel to protect the European market.

That was blocked by...

Yep. The UK government you guessed it.

Does not suprise me at all.
Another kick in the teeth that infuriated me was in the train making industry.
A massive contract given by us to Germany when we have a perfectly great company in the Uk that could do it.....stupid to the extreme!!

A lot of moaning and whinging on here but some very valied point raised, I am no politician but we all opinions.
Moaning about wanting another vote,WHY?....if we all vote as we did the first time the result will be the same.
Let me guess, most of the remain brigade on here are of the younger generation, I may nolonger belong to that group but I dont consider myself pasi it (yet)
With the risk of sounding very old (45) I will say this....I understand your feelings of jeperdation and uncertainty but in life you have to take risks,
the debate on leaving the EU has been rumbling on for as long as I remember but here is my opinion (probably get slaughtered)
I spent most of my life as a steel worker but....
Steel making has all but gone .... we buy steel from abroad....WHY?...we can make it ourselves which in turn creates more jobs.
This goes for lots more industries including Hosiery which has also all but died out, as again we buy from abroad, closing factories, losing jobs etc.
Lets go back and bring back our own industry, stop buying from abroad, make it at home here in the UK....surley this would be good for the country, we have lost our identity.

So someone surely has to come out and clear this up?

I tried it several times using my own config file and boards, worked fine.
After switching to this pack I had a crash when going to match,but not every time.
So I tried my own config with this pack and .....hey presto!!..it went to the match without a problem.

Took a while to find what was wrong and the only thing I could see was the default boards were different in the config and that I only got a crash when I played at
a stadium(team) that had no ad-boards created (used default)
Tried again adding this packs config and yes you guessed it...CRASH...again....but by replacing the default panels in the set up
with the correct ones for FM16 it worked fine....problem solved.

Oh and I have been playing for months after with no crash at all on any skin using multiple graphics (those who know me know how many backgrounds etc I use).

Its nothing to do with skins!!....how can a skin cause a crash to a graphic it has absolutely nothing to do with!!!
The problem is your set up for the default ad-boards as they have changed in FM16 but you still have the same set up as FM15
This then causes a crash when you try to play a match which uses the default boards, I had my own pack of boards which never caused a crash because I fixed using this method.

For those of you coming to this file now and want to download the full pack, you need to download the main pack, FM15 Update Packs 1 and 2, as well as the above file.

Wow you ungrateful arseholes all you ever do is bitch & moan when is this pack pack finished or why is it taking so long to finish this pack, kit makers have lives outside of making kits (i.e. work, family, friends, school/college/university etc.) & do it as a hobby. I for one will always put my private/family life first over making kits & all other kit makers will do the same. So stop pissing moaning all the bloody time show some patience & wait cause all kit makers are not at you beck & call to make kits/packs. If you want the pack so badly pull you F****ing fingers out of your backsides & make them yourself.

ArchaonDaniels doesn't make kits/packs on this site he posts on FM-View & hammer9 posts the packs here. I can now say that due to the piss poor attitude of certain members once I've completed my W.I.P. I'm done making kits/packs.

Well said

I have a mega pack released

http://www.fmscout.com/assets/downloads/fm16/fm16-trophies-megapack.jpg

I am proud to announce a huge breakthrough in Football Manager 2016. Trophies.

We always wanted more and we can now have Real Trophies for all nations in the game.
IMHO this is massive as we have always wanted more than the handful of trophies Sports Interactive provided.

The whole pack has now had a complete overhaul, all images have been re-sized, all cuts have been tidied up or replaced plus new Trophies added.
It is for this reason the old links have been removed and replaced with one new one, I recommend anyone who downloaded the original to download again to make sure you have the best pack possible and delete the old previous version.

The whole pack has now reached over 238 Trophies.

If you want to add to the pack feel free.
Look for the trophies which are missing and cut them out (if you can).
I have some cutting skills but would rather not do it myself.

Huge thanks to the following for their contributions to the pack:
Hammer9, Patres10 and Nuno Rebelo and me of course.

Thanks,
DazS8
