To The S-League and Beyond!

Introduction

After playing a few new games of FM12 and getting bored of them after a week I have decided to start a game in a league that I know little about, in a continent that really doesn't boast global footballing domination and a team that isn't well known. To start off I researched (Wiki'd) Asian Leagues that were available on FM12, their history, their most dominating teams and their most substandard teams. After having a ridiculous amount of work to do (in my job and not having time to commence my game) I finally managed to start, with clear objective set out, I knew what I had to do. Pick an inferior team in a low league with a below par reputation... The S-League. Having not managed there before I thought this would be a good challenge, so here I go, let's prevail in Asia.

Leagues Loaded: Singapore - S-League, China - Super League & First Division, India - National Football League, Australia - Hyundai A-League.
I also added, Brazil, USA and a few European Leagues. I didn't think it was necessary to add all Asian Leagues at the start of the game due to my determination to have a good few years in Singapore.

Chapter One - Balestier Khalsa FC (Try the Durian)

Club Information

Year Founded: 2002

Status: Professional

Reputation: National

Nickname: The Tigers

Fierce Rivals: None

Other Rivals: Geylang Utd, Home Utd, Tanjong Pagar & Jurong

Estimated Value: 150K

Media Prediction: 10th (out of 12)

Captain: Paul Cunningham

1.1 - Introduction To My New Club

As I settled down in my new home in Singapore, I felt satisfied with my decision to attempt to lead Balestier to Silverware. To dominate Asia would be impossible, due to Singapore not having the criteria to qualify for the AFC Champions League, but I could qualify for the Asian Confederation Cup, although not a suave, it would still give me great pleasure to be the fist Singaporean club to get to the final let alone win it. To do this I had to finish in the top two. To do this I have to knock SAFFC, Etoile FC and Tampines of their perches.

1.2 - Meeting The Board and My New Team

Argh... The guys in the suits. The big guy upstairs. He heard of my ambitious plans, he told me of my budgets and his expectations. I didn't have much room to bring new players in, so I knew that I had to get rid of the deadwood.

With players having a really poor ability and potential on big wages lasting about three years it was going to be difficult to offload them, I had to bring in good young players, with determination who are willing to fight for the shirt. We don't want another Genoa incident on our hands.

The team had a few good foreign stars but with a limit of four foreign players I had to look at local talent and I there were some good Singaporean players.

I had my work cut out, I'm really looking forward to see what Andrew Tan, Mark McGough And Lim Young-Woo can do. I knew I had to adapt my formation and tactics to make my key players to integral part of how we play. It would be difficult given the fact that I don't have the greatest tactical brains.

1.2.2 - Key Players

Andrew Tan

I personally believe he is one of our key players, he will be playing on the shoulder of the defence, using his pace to get in behind their defence. I honestly think he can be the S-League top scorer if we can found him in the right positions.

Mark McGough

Mark McGough will hopefully provide crosses in to the target man as well as beat the right back on a regular basis. Also, with a decent free kick taking ability, I'm hoping we can get a few goals from him as well.

Lim Young-Woo

The heart of our defence. He will work for the team and hopefully be rock at the back. His wages maybe a bit too high for my liking but I hope he can make a contribution that will match it just like the Tan and McGough.

1.2.3 - Transfers (T.B.C)

I will continue with this tonight, hopefully you enjoyed the intro, this is my first story by the way. Please leave feedback. Thanks.

Since I am doing this on another forum, it will be made as the manager, Jack Hooper, writing his diary.

Only way to keep me interested in actually doing this

A List of Alcohol Beverages from Countries

Wed, 16 May 2012 11:36:43 +0000

Does anyone have a list of alcoholic beverages from various countries in the Euros? It is for a Euro 2012 mild drinking game whilst watching with friends.

We have the England vs France game sorted so far with Carling Chrome vs Kronenbourg.

Can you Alcoholics out there help us with other countries? Keith looking at you!!

Can't think of a clever name for this...

Starting unemployed, don't think I've managed in any of these countries this year - so may as well have a crack.

Just a few days of applying for absolutely anything going and I ended up with a job offer.

Been to Chongqing before on FM11 I think, but still very unfamiliar territory. There seems to be some good financial backing and an expectation of promotion, so I reckon this place has potential if I make the right moves in the transfer market to bolster the current crop of shite running this club down.

Despite my youth facilities being poor and being advised to venture into the transfer market as opposed to considering my youth prospects, I've been made aware of 3 youth players held in high regard by my staff;

Not overly impressed by any of them - but I'll give them some game time with the firsts as and when I can to see if they can change my mind, but for now I will just delve into the free transfer market.

I was given a £450k budget for transfers and about £3k for wages, but I've adjusted things to double my wage budget and still leave me with £283k to spend.

After signing a couple of players, I've got about £1.8k a week to play around with. Hanging my hopes on a 32 year old Brazilian striker I've signed on a 6 month deal, I'll give you a screenshot if he's successful. Also trying to pick up a transfer listed left-back from the Super League.

A little hard to see it properly but you can just catch it, made me laff.

FIFA 13

Mon, 07 May 2012 19:14:34 +0000

No idea if this is true but thought I would start a thread anyway

Quote

EA’s revealed the first details of FIFA 13, as well as releasing a few new screens for the game.

Speaking at a recent event in London, producer David Rutter, revealed five major improvements to this years game, including:

More realistic ball control, which will make it more difficult to control a receiving ball with your player, meaning how well you do to control the ball will depend on the strength, speed, ball height and the technical skills of your player.

Another improvement is to Player Impact, this means that all players challenges will be much more realistic, thanks in part to a new set of impact values has been added at the hip and the upper body area.

Complete Dribble, meanwhile, will do away with FIFA 12′s dribble by changing direction habit, making for much more realistic dribbling action. While Tactical Free-Kicks will allow for up to three players to gather around the ball and make fun of the opponent’s defence and goalie. You can now also feint a direct shot and adjust it to a player who comes off the wall.

Finally, Attacking AI, has also been improved meaning that CPU-controlled players now make better running and better better options for passing the ball.
We are told that the above information is only some of what EA has planned for FIFA 13, with much more information expected later this month. We have also been told that the above may not be entirely 100 percent accurate since the original source posted this information before the media embargo.

You can tell it might be FIFA 13 to the hoardings and the players face are different

CUM SHOE BOX

Tue, 01 May 2012 15:05:43 +0000

On reddit, a thread named 'Throwaway time! What's your secret that could literally ruin your life if it came out?'

Quote

Well, it is exactly what it sounds like. It's a shoebox, or at least once was, and whenever I masturbate I cum into it. I've had it for two or three years now I think, so it has a fair amount of cum. It smells atrocious, and I tried to burn it once. When I lit it on fire, it was too damp due to the cum that it simply sizzled and didn't manage to actually lite up. Turns out burning cum smells awful, so I had to spray it with a deodorant body spray just to get the old smell of burnt cum away. It also has some drenched papers stuck to it. That's pretty much it.

Because people were asking, my greatest shame.

EDIT 2: A lot of people are asking me, why? Well, I'm apparently a rather disturbed individual. But, it just kind of happened, bought new shoes and needed someplace to cum, used the box. It just escalated from there, kept using it each time, telling myself I would throw it out soon. Never did, two or three years later, I still have it. It was planned or anything, it just happened.

EDIT 3: Fuck, this really exploded. ~20,000+ views of my cum box. Did not expect this.

If a moderator gives it the OK i'll post the pic. Otherwise PM me. You must see for yourself how fucking insane this guy is.
