Football Manager 2006

[Grumpy]

If I can just take this oppotunity to stir the pot a bit, none of the games you guys talk about is real football anyway!!! Australian Rules Football now thats a real football game!!

P.S: And I am not talking PC games here, as I dont play the PC Sports game I cant really comment on the actual games.
And I do expect some possible flack flying back to me on the above comment!

Grumpy Australians are like the Americans, they took our football game and re-arrange it to something else :P

We did invent the game first

Eh the American game is nothing like the English or the Australian game, and you guys play with a round ball and can only kick it along the ground with your feet, no handballing etc. The Australian game is more of a spectacle, high flying marks (catches) long distance kicking, hand balling. scores from both teams in all games, no riots etc, and all this with not a round ball but with an odd shaped ball, a bit like the shape of the zeppelin, so it takes major skill just to bounce it let alone kick it straight. Our game is totally different to any other football in the world, it did not evolve from the English (European) football. Yes we do play your style football over here as well but we call that 'soccer'. And just to clarify, I am not talking about rugby or gridion. I'm talking Aussie Rules! Aussie Aussie Aussie oiy oiy oiy.

That's actually for Fifa Manager 06 when you unrar it. Anyway, I found how to use Football Manager without the CD:

Right click on the shortcut icon on Desktop.
Click Properties. Go to Compatability tab.
Change the Compatability mode to Windows NT and it should work.

So why do you call it football? lol

If most of the game your using your hands, its only after a few steps they kick for some strange reason (perhaps you can only hold the ball after so many steps?)
