ptfc1876 Activity

December 2019 A quiet month in terms of fixtures, but with us facing two of the three sides ahead of ourselves, an important one. We started by taking on Wick Academy, the side directly above us in the table, and a side who usually do pretty well in the...

October & November 2019 Following on from our, let's say, mixed start to the season, we faced a Lossiemouth side enduring a torrid start to the season. In the end, we recorded a very comfortable win, but once again the performance wasn't q...

August & September 2018 Without the usual Aberdeenshire and NoS Cups to keep us occupied, we dove straight into league action, and it got off to a shambolic start with us falling behind after just 29 seconds. We responded well to dominate the rest o...

ptfc1876 just completed the season in the year 2019 managing Fort William in the Highland Football League in their FM Career Fort William FC: The worst senior team in Scotland

@KEZ_7 Cheers, hope you're enjoying it. I don't, no, but good to see them getting some wider attention! Good chance they'll finish the season on negative points... Pre-Season 2019/20 Well, after a successful season, it was primarily import...

April 2019 The final month of the season kicked off with the visit of Rothes, and it was a decent enough performance although the killer touch was missing all too often. We got into positions but were unable to make the most of it, either not getting th...

March 2019 The month started with Strathspey Thistle in the Highland Cup, and we were thoroughly outplayed for the entirety of normal time. They had a number of good opportunities to score but their finishing left a lot to be desired, and Soutar made a...

January & February 2019 We started the new year at home to Formartine, and it was a fairly routine win with 4 first half minutes proving to be the difference between the two sides. The first was a pretty classic Fort William goal, Welsh played Macki...

December 2018 Our reward for getting past Rothes in the second round of the Scottish Cup was a visit from Championship side Raith Rovers. The game was watched by a mammoth (by our standards) crowd of 621, but unfortunately all they were witness to was a...

October & November 2018 Following on from a couple of disappointing losses at the end of the previous month, we faced Lossiemouth - who have been a far cry from the absolute shambles of last season and were sitting comfortably mid table. That said,...

@Suffolk Seasider Thanks! Hopefully they turn out ok... August & September 2018 After a busy pre-season, we eventually got underway with the visit of Clachnacuddin in the Aberdeenshire Cup, and things got off to a great start when Willie Mathers mis...

ptfc1876 just completed the season in the year 2018 managing Fort William in the Highland Football League in their FM Career Fort William FC: The worst senior team in Scotland

@StockenValla, I can't remember where I got the one I'm using, but there's a few out there with the Highland League. @Suffolk Seasider Seasider, yeah 4 stars for my team is decent highland league player, which I'm hoping we won't...

March & April - End of Season 2017/18 Turriff was a pretty poor game from our point of view, not just losing, but the fact that we only managed to create a couple of half chances the whole match, and they were unlucky not to get another when they st...

January & February 2018 kicked off with a tight game at home with Buckie Thistle, where they were dominant overall, but we did look dangerous on the break. MacLellan had our best chance saved, before they got the goal that they maybe deserved and sa...

@Dan, not sure what happened with them, just completely collapsed! @Suffolk Seasider aye, you need to win the league and then get through a 2 legged playoff versus the lowland league champions and then beat the bottom team from the 4th tier in another 2...

September - November 1st I may have somewhat brought this on myself by mentioning the new manager bounce, but the last 2 months have seen a catastrophic collapse in form. We started off by being soundly beaten by a frankly superior Formartine side in t...

Cheers @DNZY and @Dan, hopefully you enjoy it. @Suffolk Seasider, I tried that - board are having none of it! July/August 2017 Been a busy start to the season in the North West Highlands, and we've so far massively surpassed my (admittedly low) ex...

Cheers @Suffolk Seasider, hopefully it all goes well. Direct football is the Scottish way anyways! Season 2017/18 - Pre-Season Well, my first pre-season at the Fort has come and gone, and there's been some changes at the club but not quite as many...

Fort William FC The worst senior team in Scotland. To many, that's Fort William. The Highland league side have never finished above 11th (out of 18) in 33 seasons at that level, and have finished in very last place on 15 occasions. They've onl...

An attempt to take lowly Fort William from the bottom of the Highland League to the top of the Scottish game.

Well played for the most part. Beating Alloa and holding Hearts are good results, and Hearts should have brought a decent crowd as well!

Season 2017/18 - August Well, we needed more recruits in central defence, and to that end we brought in Lloyd Jones on loan from Liverpool. He's young, has all the essentials covered, and looks competent enough on the ball which is always a plus p...

2017/18 - Pre-Season & League Cup Group Stage Well, there wasn't much of note on the transfer front so far. McCarthy went out on loan to Alloa, in League One, where he should be playing most weeks and hopefully fulfilling some of his potential...

Partick Thistle FC. The Jags, The Harry Wraggs or the Maryhill Magyars. Formed in 1876, they're Glasgow's oldest professional football club. They've been the other team in Glasgow, the team for those not interested in the old firm who...

Partick Thistle's journey from Glasgow's other team to Scottish and European domination. Well, we'll see about that...

Season 2018/19 - Season Playoff & Review Well, the Season Playoff was a waste of time. We were pretty evenly matched throughout the first half, and then collapsed in the first few seconds to allow them to take the league. We pushed forward to try...

Season 2018/19 - May Well, May came round and with it the business end of the season really arrived. The Cup final of the Sapling Cup, and the last couple of league fixtures with the champions and continental qualification still on the line for us. Fir...

Season 2018/19 - April Well, it's been another big month for us, with 2 semi finals, a final and an important league match in the run up to the end of season. With one trophy already this season, we remain in the hunt for 3 more and this month wil...

Clyde lost 6-0 to our under 20’s a few years ago so you’re doing better than real life already! Best of luck with this, Goodwillie should stroll that league as on ability he has no business being there!

The fans will probably be upset when/if you lose to Thistle. Clyde fans still view us as a derby of sorts.

That’s some bottle job from TNS as well! Best of luck finding something better

Season 2018/19 - March After a very solid February in which we got back on track in the league, pulling ourselves back into contention for the title, and ensured that we'll be in at least the semi's of every cup we've entered, March got...

Season 2018/19 - February Well, the shortest month of the year has also been our busiest so far, with seven matches including the cup final against Sun Hei. It was also a successful month for us for the most part, with us getting back on track in the...

Season 2018/19 - Senior Challenge Shield Final The first cup final of the season comes round in Hong Kong, and it's ourselves and Sun Hei, a side struggling just above the relegation spots, fighting it out for the Senior Challenge Shield. Tai Po h...

Season 2018/19 - January A pretty quiet month with no league business, just the two Sapling Cup Group games to occupy ourselves with. Up first were Fuli, who're currently bottom of the league with just 3 points from 9, and it was an absolute rou...

Season 2018/19 - December We only had one league game this month, and it was a disappointing and agonising loss against Southern District, whom we had thumped just a month earlier. Jaimes McKee got his first for the club and we looked good for the wi...

Season 2018/19 - October & November The honeymoon is over. We really, really should have beaten Dreams FC, we had the better chances but were very wasteful with them and couldn't get back into it from 2-0 down. The next match against Kitchee...

Season 2018/19 - September Yuto Nakamura is the absolute boy. It's been an excellent start to the season, an 100% record so far, and 6 goals in 3 for the main man. Eastern were runners up last season, while Fuli and Yuen Long occupied the positi...

Season 2018/19 Well, my regime in Hong Kong is under way, and the first thing I noticed was that out of the 4 five star players in my squad, 3 want to leave immediately. They're all high earners, the clubs finances are poor and they can't be...

Thanks guys, the Valarenga game was genuinely infuriating... A new start After 8 months, countless knockbacks without interviews and somewhere approaching 10 failed interviews, an opportunity to attempt to build something of a reputation, and maybe get...

Well done, even if you are managing Clyde!

Season 2017 - October Well, we had two games left to try to save ourselves. First up was Grorud, a team who could still theoretically reach the playoffs, so I had my work cut out for me. We got off to an appalling start, and then recovered and looked...

Season 2017 - September An excellent first month in charge, considering we'd only had 3 wins all season before I turned up. We started off with a 2-0 loss away at Asker, who were second in the table at that point, and were comfortably outplayed...

Off to the Norwegian Second Division (Group 1), and I've taken the first job that was offered to me in Skeid. One look at the league table... suggests to me that my reign will be a short one, as there's only 7 games left and we're 4 po...

PTFC1876's Travels Every year on FM, I basically play the same save where I attempt to get Partick Thistle to the top of the Scottish game. I don't often deviate from this, and I'm starting to get slightly bored of it. Therefore, I've...

An attempt to win everything.
