Would like to see Gibbo stay. Hope he signs a new contract.

I was told we were interested in bringing in Blackett-Taylor when he left Tranmere but he chose to go back darn sarf instead. You can't blame him when Charlton came calling. If it was the likes of Sutton however..... Amiga 500, still got one in the loft and it works although haven't tried for years. I used to live on Champ manager and Sensi World of Soccer. Edited to add that I don't think Gibson would cut it any higher than L1. He wants far too much time on the ball as it is. Sensible Soccer had tiny little graphics and looks pretty crap - but what a game! Really fast and you can score some belting goals, especially with a curling shot. I still play it, got both Megadrive versions - The European Champions and the limited edition World Champions one, it has battery back up so saving games isn't as fiddly as some other versions. I normally start off with the intention of a couple of games, next thing you know the whole evening has gone.

Gibson is still a player in development. Last season, Simmo had to have "words with him". Yes, he's been the best of a dire bunch this season (so far), but - if you're concerned about consistency - the jury's still out.

Well done Gibbo, but in all honesty what kind of a bullshit stat is “dribbles completed”? I still don’t think assists are a thing, by the way!Now that's just weird, they have been a thing for an absolute age, 1994 in fact Assists have only become prevelant in the English football 10 years ago, more Americanisation with the aid of fantasy league and FIFA nerds. They can’t even agree what an assist actually is! An utterly pointless incarnation held in high esteem by the youth of today.

Fantasy football with Baddiel and skinner was on in 1994, the last 10 years scenario is just a figment of your imagination. Though why anybody finds the assist stat worthless is just rather odd, frankly, it is something important to know about your winger, AM or even the CF. Weird thing to get your knickers in a twist over. BTW is is more likely Football Manager (early Championship manager) nerds rather than FIFA. Though you can blow your load over the fact it was used first in the 1994 WC in the USA, gets all giddy those ******* Yanks and their stats

Yes, widespread and again I'll tell you that you are flat out wrong on your 'prevalent' timescale of the last 10 years. I gave you the date the fantasy football programme that started it all and that was in 1994, 30 years ago, do you really think it took twenty years to become 'prevalent'. I can also tell you that it was in Football manager games for years and years, way longer than 10 years, so again, you are just flat out wrong on 10 years. The recognised flagship era for championship manager was 01/02 and I can assure you they had assists 'prevalent' in that game and that is 21 years ago, the games before that also had assists in them. Is that proof enough for you? even has dribble percentage which fits right in with this thread, 21 years ago lol

The assist didn’t become prevalent in our game until about 10 years ago. A handful of nerds playing games in their bedroom doesn’t equate to something being prevalent within football!!

You sound like the epitome of someone who talks about CAM’s, duels, assists, transitions, high presses, xG and progressive carries on a regular basis. Someone who’s garnered their footballing knowledge from a computer game and loves all these pointless stats. They’re designed so folk who don’t know much about football can form an opinion about the game. Either that, or you’re 15!

'A handful of nerds' just shows your utter ignorance tbh Take the hint man, you're just flat out wrong, take the loss and move on.

Even if the above was all true, you'd still be wrong on your stupid '10 year prevalence' timescale. Though maybe you could ask Pep if he learned all of his knowledge from playing FM on the amiga 500, he seems to like a lot of what you describe in that childish rant. Though if we want to go tit for tat, you sound like a man that has just wandered out of his cave and seen a pigs bladder being kicked about. ps you missed out 'low block'

Do you not think someone like Sky would have latched on to something were it widespread in our game? They certainly didn’t talk about or publish assists much more than a decade ago. Like I say, just because something is talked about in your computer game community doesn’t make it prevalent in the real world.
Anyway, define an assist. People cant even agree what one is!

In your world they didn't but in everybody else's world they did. Again I'll mention the fact that the computer game in both of its forms is unprecendented in its realistic interpretation of actual real life football, it mimics real life football, not the other way around. So I went on the premier league site www.premierleague.com/players/566/Darren-Anderton/overviewPremier League Record Appearances 319 Goals 37 Assists 68 I got Anderson by typing in the year 1992 and looking down for a name that would have had assists www.premierleague.com/players?se=1&cl=-1Are you kidding me, define an assist. Do you want it in childish form? Player A passes the ball to Player B who scores... GOAL Realsitically, it is the last player who touches the ball before the other player scores. If you really need to, read this. jobsinfootball.com/blog/what-are-assists-in-soccer/

With further research.
Since the 2006–07 season, assists have been factored into the Actim Index of Premier League player performance, so that is 5 years longer than 10 years.
Never mind, eh.
What a dumb thing to be arguing about anyway.

I've been trying to get the 03/04 version working on my laptop but it's not having it. I preferred the 90's versions really when you didn't have to mess about with training and such.
Anyhow I've got a couple of saves where I've took Northwich Victoria to perennial European Champions without spending a penny on players and the same with Albion Rovers. I always preferred to build a club up and waited for Carlisle to come calling but it never happened.
