I really thought we could've secured a runners-up spot and a play-off with the team that finished second bottom in the Premier Division (turned out to be Carrick Rangers) but it just wasn't to be and that's grand as we'll regroup and try and battle next season Dan and maybe the team won't throw it away.

Bangor - Pre season round-up 2016/17

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ro0PlN0uoWa4bVrkfKty8XkDx5s13zICmL5q6NUF.png

My second season at Bangor Football Club is about to begin and I really don't know what to expect from the boys, we are predicted to finish the season in sixth place and that's two positions lower than last season predicted finish, which was fourth but I'm not sure we'll 'overachieve' this season without a clinical striker, something (at times) I lacked last season.

Just two players ended up joining this summer as I really struggled to find 'talent' to strengthen the squad and that was needed. Ben Roy has joined after being released by Premier Division side Carrick Rangers while Chris Middleton has returned to the club from Harland & Wolff Welders. Chris Johns has been released after refusing to sign a new deal and he ended up signing for Glentoran.

We have had a busy but promising pre season as we've only lost the one game out of the eight, losing four three away to Championship Two club Distillery, we drew at home to Scots Stenhousemuir while we (as expected) beat Kilroot, Bangor Y.M., Bryansburn, Orangefield, Holywood and Drumaness. Despite the 'poor' opposition, four clean sheets is always pleasing.

This has been one epic career from you Fola in which you've taken Torquay United from the Conference to the Premier League without going overboard every single campaign. It's a career that had heartbreak and joy throughout the years and this deserves it's place in Susie's HoF, it's a little shame that it was cut short but enjoyable while it lasted.

Congrats!

Off to Brisbane on the 25th November until 26th February.

Avoiding winter by trading it for summer \o/

You'll probably end up getting injured anyway.

Ha, cheers Dan. Always knew this was going to be a tough season and it's proving to be just that at present, I'd love to secure at least a play-off spot, just like we did last season in real life.

Tell me about it George, the amount of cups for a second tier that's also semi-professional (like the top flight as well but they've less cups) is insane but Championship One is going 'senior' next season and if that's reflected on FM then we won't be in the Steel & Sons and Intermediate Cup.

Bangor - End of season round-up 2015/16

Season #1 has been signed, sealed and delivered but could be gain the minimum of a play-off spot despite us being predicted to finish the campaign down in fourth while we also targeted Intermediate Cup success as well this season as that was the one and only cup the side remained in - or, would it turn out to be a disappointing season all round? Time will tell I suppose.

Intermediate Cup:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hKIFPqVwnXFxV75GWvToMpqCHqzoqsagaxfacqGr.jpg

Gutted. That's all I can really say as we failed in the final of the Intermediate Cup, losing to fellow Championship One side and promotion rivals Lurgan Celtic who beat us by four goals to three at a neutural venue - we had seen off the challenges of Wellington Rec, Oxford United Stars, Banbridge Town, Lisburn Distillery, Portadown Reserves and Queens Universty Belfast in the previous six rounds before losing the "show-piece" final.

League - Championship One:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/dL1tmJFEE5cdTgpa0Qjwhn2wOrkdh2B5jlUPjN0C.jpg

It wasn't a terrible second part of the league campaign as we only had nine league games remaining but it turned out to be a shocking last three games of the season as not just did we play poorly in those games but we also lost those three games against Knockbreda, Lurgan Celtic and Institute. We started the New Year well as well with back-to-back clean sheets of east Antrim duo Larne and Ballyclare but no doubt the poor end to the league proceedings cost us.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jFbm0sdttGOvSpChCTEqqyzLaSND37vCcFXkeppt.jpg

And it ended up being a fifth place finish this season which I'm a little bit annoyed about as I expected much, much more from the lads and their is no doubt I need to try and purchase some "younger" legs this summer if we're going to try and launch a second promotion bid but not bottle it at the end like this season. Annagh United, Lisburn Distillery and Ballyclare Comrades all got relegated while Harland & Wolff Welders are in a relegation/promotion play-off with Limavady United.

The last piece of news in this update and I'm pleased to announce that I've agreed to sign a new one year deal at Bangor Fuels Arena which'll take me until the end of next season before (hopefully) agreeing a longer deal but it'll probably be another year. I had just three months remaining on my current deal and want to be here for a long, long time.

Or Rob has been flat out, he just hasn't had time to add it yet.

Bangor - Mid season round-up 2015/16

We have reached the end of the calendar year and it hasn't been a bad season to date as we hope to gain promotion to the top flight of local football but it's still going to be tough as you'll soon find out, Loughgall haven't lost a single league game thus far and with a small squad and with the club participating in twenty-odd cup competitions (okay, slight exaggeration), it's sure going to take it's toll.

Steel & Sons Cup:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3ebT927MQ4UqNbE0jh0dxEiz1s5qpTnjpeQnciVk.jpg

Our run in this seasons Steel & Sons Cup has unfortunately ended at the second hurdle after a three goals to two defeat at fellow Championship One club Donegal Celtic who beat us at Donegal Celtic Park much to my annoyance as I thought we could've won this competition - we beat Kilmore Rec five one in the previous round before losing to DC.

Co. Antrim Shield:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jAViUZhPefnoIYSDmt30FqhgMkWd7QEgbnDPlvsl.jpg

I'm pleased with how we performed in the County Antrim Shield this season even though we lost in the semi final to Premier Division side Crusaders who trounced us 5-1 at a neutral venue - we beat fellow Championship One side Knockbreda three one away from home in the first round and Championship Two side P.S.N.I 6-2 in the quarters at home.

League Cup:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/T0RpNkJDTA2OCk2hYHcgsMPOYLaM0Lj75UnlapGk.jpg

We came within ten (or so) minutes of shocking Premier Division side Glenavon in the second round of the League Cup but our League Cup campaign ended at our first hurdle, losing three one after extra time at Mourneview Park despite us taking a very early lead in Lurgan.

Intermediate Cup:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RRldiCKelJpYgCqgyZUk1KQ4Xjb9JLnA2UOpQSm9.jpg

We however still remain in the Intermediate Cup and will face either Donegal Celtic or Distillery in the fourth round I believe at home after we seen off Championship Two side Banbridge Town in the third round at Bangor Fuels Arena. We had beaten two non-league sides in Wellington Rec and Oxford United Stars in the first two rounds, also at home.

Irish Cup:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/dz6XmjdfdHWV8BAg1iS2W1eukj37tI9uvsgpq5S1.jpg

I'm really frustrated with our performance in this seasons Irish Cup as we crashed to a three nil defeat away to Annagh United.

League - Championship One:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CDgb6Cr6Vmc8gEUvZIHrAZ6zdQp0idk9RwHjVU7E.jpg

It's been quite an enjoyable first part of the season as we've only suffered four league defeats (away vs. Loughgall, away vs. Donegal Celtic, home vs. Armagh and away vs. Knockbreda) while we've dropped points in three other games (home vs. Harland & Wolff Welders, away vs. Annagh and home vs. Loughgall) but we have kept six clean sheets thus far and also beat fierce rivals Ards 3-1 at home so it's all good and I'd love to do the double over that lot.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ixcVV3sa98AwkIjqAPJOQuSGved1hHx5wM7kHoWd.jpg

Got to admit, it's always nice to see your rivals bottom of the table and in a relegation dogfight.

But onto ourselves and we are currently sitting in third place at the end of the calendar year much to my delight as we're predicted to finish the season in fourth place but you can also see it's quite tight as only nine points separate sixth placed Knockbreda with the unbeaten league leaders Loughgall and I'm glad they've drew seven of their seventeen games or they'd be well clear at the top from us instead of just the four points.

No you was being sarcastic and un helpful at first then you offered me a solution which did not work so there was no reason for you to say all that at the beginning just a hello and a solution would of been enough really don't you agree? Even other poster on here said you was out of line and a bit uncalled for so don't go giving the all "over reaction crap" If someone comes up to you at work lets say someone random and asks you a question if you don't understand them you don't insult the way they speak or anything else do you? So why do it on a forum? Pointless, not clever, and well boring. As for never being insulted no your right I don't and I don't know where you live or come from but I certainly never get insulted because of my punctuation, grammar, or anything else can't think the last time anyone said anything to be a cocky cock head to me really? Only on this site which as I was only asking for help is not bothering me I just find people like you funny, you hide behind keyboards and hover in forums waiting to troll and jump on someone new to cyber bully as they call it to make you feel better than you do inside your tiny existence if you find this to much of a "over reaction" or strong then tough, seems to me you have lived the sheltered life...so pleased carry on........better still no its boring now I'm bored of you....

Cheers Dan, yeah I decided that trying to conquer Europe/World is almost impossible so I decided to scrap it this year and concentrate on managing the one team - unless I get the chop, then the career is over.

Cheers Ipswich Knights.

Cheers Jamie3, I'm expecting to be a tough but exciting challenge - something I'm relishing.

Cheers Rick.

I appreciate the follow barbour_ssl, hopefully this career doesn't let you down.

Bangor - Pre season round-up 2015/16

I didn't much of an introduction here at Bangor Fuels Arena as I support the club throughout the good times and the bad times and now I'm the man to try and make Bangor Football Club a dominate force in local football.

I've not signed any players this transfer window as I want to see how good or bad the current crop of players are on Football Manager 2016 even though they're more than likely arguably better in real life - if need be, I can easily loan players in if I suffer any long term injuries to the current squad and I'm determined to play my 'traditional' 4231 formation.

As per normal, my assistant manager will take charge of the friendlies.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Yz35ijd4hQJx9r1rYNiYtRZvuukCfs8VIAgX7cIT.jpg

I can't complain with how my first pre season has went at the football club as I only lost one game out of the six that were arranged - losing at home to Scottish side Stenhousemuir while we drew against Cowdenbeath in Andy Morrow's Testimonial game. Our other fixtures saw us beat Newtownbreda 2-1 at home while we picked up two one victories at both Drumaness Mills and Holywood while our preparations ended with a two all draw away to Nortel.

I'm a little disappointed that we failed to keep a single clean sheet but I'd be more concerned if we didn't score goals.

Hi would appreciate some help I've got FM16 but really fancied playing this especially if I could play in the lower leagues like Salford City or Darlington in England. BUT I've downloaded the file. Copied it into editor data but when I go to choose leagues the lowest league I can manage in is the normal one. AND in editor data your files arent showing? Hpow do I correct this please thanks mate?!!!

Two things are the problem here:

1 These were made for Football Manager 2015

And

2 These aren't league expansions, they're leagues that weren't playable on the previous game. Thus you cannot manage in say the seventh tier of English football although I'm sure an English league expansion, for Football Manager 2016 will be released after the game is officially released next Friday.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ycmQ1eOqVyEt10H37iRnbxeCPLjl3GNEhKyir14l.png

Last year on Football Manager, I attempted to become the best manager in Europe as I attempted to win every domestic title on every playable European nation but alas I unfortunately failed in what seems to be an impossible task - will I do it again this year? Nah, I've decided to stick with managing just the one club and they'll be my local club Bangor.

I'd love for this to be a long stint as I attempt to make the Seasiders the best club in local football, while trying to win a few European matches on the way as well as that'll sure help the clubs finances. I'm under no illusions, I know European success is going to be near on impossible so I won't even be targeting that on this career even though it would be nice but the plan is to become the number one club in Northern Ireland and I can guarantee that won't be easy.

Warrenpoint Town stopped us last season gaining promotion, I hope no one stops us this season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fPWz9I3mqfPoZ9EeqGMs7PtliwJ2aU9Ia99XC3wf.jpg

And this is the information page and it's not really much to look at thus far. We are a semi-professional club who play their home games at Bangor Fuels Arena (formerly known as Clandeboye Park) and it's a synthetic surface, the club have basic youth facilities and adequate training facilities and that's something I'd like to change in the future but it'll be very difficult.

You can also see the clubs reputation is regional and I'm going to struggle to see that rise any further but I'll sure give it my best shot while the club have NEVER won a single league title in their 97-odd year history and that's something I'd love to change and won't stop until I'm successful - unless I'm sacked, then I will need to stop.

So, it's time to get this career started!!

Just like the latter part of my career on last years Football Manager game, due to time constraints I'm only going to be doing mid-season and end of season updates.
