The Journeyman Jock - The turn I realised the heat I was feeling was from the fluorescent lights above me, probably placed right there to make the defendants more uneasy. It mattered not, but I was sat in silence and could tell my face was glum. I lo...
The Journeyman Jock - The weight of guilt A couple of hours had passed since I last spoke to the Doctor. He’d gone to the canteen and I’d gone for some air and food myself with Wilson. I walked back into the courtroom behind Wilson and it had a still...
The Journeyman Jock - A shadow of doubt The judge called for a break in the proceedings roughly 3 hours after Alexa took the stand and we filed out into the dimly lit hallway. Amberson had dismissed Alexa before we left and we had been told by the ju...
The Journeyman Jock - The shady lawyer He kept his questions short, sweet and to the point with Alexa ‘You helped Ostman rig football matches?’ ‘No’ She was experienced in talking and questioning so only gave the necessary answers. Nothing more...
The Journeyman Jock - The Witness Amberson locked eyes on me and said ‘thank you, your honour. Let the prosecution call it’s next, and final I might add, witness to the stand, Miss Alexa Rosario’What. The. Actual. Fuck. Alexa. Fucking Alexa, the...
The Journeyman Jock - Day 4 Day 4 of the trial and all Amberson had shown the court was that we might’ve fixed matches and might’ve made bets on those matches and might have profited handsomely from those matches, circumstantial at best. M...
The Journeyman Jock - Big shipment, big pay off I could see the sweat starting to bead on the Doctors temple, the way his fingers tightened around the bannister to the side of the chair in the dock, his knuckles now white against the dark railing.&nb...
The Journeyman Jock - Courtroom questions ‘As I was saying before the interruption, who exactly approached you regarding the money for the game against Aydinspor in June of 2018?’I thought about my answer before speaking. As I did I looked around the...
Legend! Cheers mate.

The Journeyman Jock - The plea I was sat on the third of the four benches. The first taken up by the schmucks at the FBI. Next to them the Doctor and his legal team, then me and Wilson and his assistant, then finally Baz and his suits at the end. We...
The Journeyman Jock - Dirty tactics As we made our way out of the car and into the building, one of the biggest public buildings on the island, the rain was relentless. Summer in Ibiza wasn’t meant to see rain, not like this at least. You can hear it...
It's a long shot but has anyone got the cut out faces pack for FM17? The megapcak on the site doesn't work for FM17 as the pics are all too big.
The Journeyman Jock - The final whistle I was stood in the dim lights of the home dressing rooms at Can Misses, Ibiza’s stadium and my home for the last 6 and a bit months. The lights were eery and casting long shadows on the walls, as if tryin...
The Journeyman Jock - The second leg, again News broke of the takeover and was all across the local media in Andorra, seemingly more important than the second leg of the cup final. I wasn’t concerned this would affect the team, quite the...
Consider me intrigued.
Triumph I walked in and the locker room was silent, except for the slow drip of water from a leaky pipe in the corner. I’ve told the chairman about that fucking pipe a million times! Anyway the steam still clung to the air, mixing with the scent of s...
The low-down offer I’d been called into the new chairman's office, the smoke from his fat Cuban curling up in the dim light of his office, the biggest of the 3 at the stadium. I could see the dim lights of downtown Lomé in the window behind his desk,...
One out, one in I’d had a rough feeling most of the day. Granted, it’s the back end of January, the weathers a poor unforgiving demon with icy breath that stings the cheeks and freezes the skin. The wind howled in a desperate sort of way letting you...
Good luck with this. For me though with how much money Prem teams have, I would just try and replicate how many trophies he won, not the exact timescale he did it in. I doubt Palace are going to be in a position to win the league within 7 season without a...
I'm the worst at what I do best It was coming to the end of December, and the city of Lomé was tired, I could feel it in the concrete under my shoes. I could feel the way the rain fell harder than it usually does. The season, my first in the illustri...
Some images would be ideal so people can see if they like it before downloading. Also a changelog of differences between this and the previous version wouldn't go amiss
Another shot at redemption - When in Lomé season 2 The office smelled like old, battered leather and cheap watered down cologne, the kind that lingers in the air long after the bottle’s gone dry. I sat nursing a lukewarm cup of coffee, that’s a bit r...
They're all knob heads anyway on youtube
So they're taking out touchline shouts AND international management?!? Adding womens football is great as long as it can be implemented properly. However I won't be buying on release day or pre ordering 25, I am going to wait until the reviews are in and...
Great read this mate keep it up
The Nearly Men of Africa challenge overview CAF Champions League 2023/24 Pyramids FC of Egypt took this years Champions League crown. The 2 legged final ended 3-3 on aggregate so it took penalties for the Egyptians to win the tie. The other fina...
With Ayite retiring shortly after getting his ankle broke, I had 2 first team strikers in Koriko and Diallo, both scoring regularly. I didn’t think we’d be signing any forwards in the transfer window, as we have the young Adjima playing back up. &nbs...
The sun is beaming down as I walk out the building. In a weird sort of way the sunlight feels like a halo shining on me, the saviour or Ètoile Filante, of Togolese football if you will. Maybe not, not yet at least, not until I get my hands on that sweet C...
The rain drizzled down like a half-hearted apology, barely enough to drench the red dust that seemingly clings to everything in Lomé. The old clock tower chimed in the distance, marking the hour with a hollow clang that echoed off the rusting corrugated r...
Good luck with this
Another shot at redemption - When in Lomé chapter 3 I’m not confident in my ability to tweak things, not yet anyway. We’d set up with the tried and tested 4-4-2, and it’s worked wonders. 13 games in and 11 wins to boot. I should be satisfied wi...
Love saves like this in far off places. Not too dissimilar to my current save either, my manager also comes from South Africa. Definitely following this!
Another shot at redemption - When in Lomé part 2 ‘Who?’ is a word you could use for both the club and me as their newly appointed first team manager. Despite having no qualifications, no meaningful or relevant ones anyway, to aid my quest in the glor...
Another shot at redemption - When in Lomé The story starts in July 2023. The flight finally, after a 3 hour delay, leaves Cape Town airport. The flight itself, a whopping 100 hours all in, via Ethiopia, then Cameroon before finally, mercifully landin...
We all have those moments of uncertainty, or those moments of what if I did this differently, or what if I did that in a different way. Heartbreaking moments that stick with us forever. What if Ronaldo (Brazilian) never got so many injuries. Why didn...
The Journeyman Jock - Another cup final first leg I stood in front of the players as we finished our preps for the first leg of the cup final ‘I don’t have much of a team talk prepared for this match, but just go out there and play like yo...

The Journeyman Jock - It's never easy is it ‘He’s gotta be of now’ Baz was yelling towards me and Mark Jaulk on the touchline ‘he’s on a yellow already that little shite’ He wasn’t wrong either. Miguel Angel Martin, the Prat center half had...
Yes mate!! Love the Trainspotting reference! Absolutely following this!!
The Journeyman Jock - Order a Killer ‘Oh I know them’ Baz said enthusiastically ‘Corse’ ye’ hav’ sloppy bollocks’ the Doctor said before adding ‘lemme guess hinny, they played Stranraer one pre season when you were there’ ‘Aye we did, coupl...

The Journeyman Jock - The party island On the morning of my first day at the club, I sat with Baz and Mark and had a look at how things had been going at the club ‘Struggling I think is the best way to put it Jock’ Mark said ‘Agreed....
The Journeyman Jock - No tellin' where this felon is headin' I looked out of the window as the plane finally touched down on the tarmac, the echo of the wheels hitting the ground thundered through the cabin. ‘We’re here, we’re finally fucking here’ y...
The Journeyman Jock - What will be, will be ‘I’m still not sure’ I said, still wrestling with the idea of more change ‘if it is the right thing or not?’ ‘There are pros and cons to every one of life's moments’ he started ‘and for any person in a...
