The Vent Thread

[Mr Mercury]

Why So many teams on each of the servers I have been on called "Galatasaray"....gets very unimaginative to keep seeing that name with either FC, SK or whatever after it but still the same bloody name lol.....vent over.

Tell me about it. I'm now working in Turkey, and about 70% of the population supports Galatasaray. Even people who've never been to Istanbul and couldn't tell you where Galata is, support them because they win. I just bite my tongue and cheer for my team. The other 50% support Fenerbahce. And then there's about 20% support Besiktas. Then a few people even dare support local teams. I realise that makes 140+% of supporters already, but these guys are so fickle, they'll cheer for whoever made the news that morning. It's worse than the plastic cockney prawn-sandwich-munching Manure brigade that plague the game in England.
But try telling them that, and all of a sudden I'm the one who doesn't understand football.

Now...perhaps someone can explain to me how my team, despite a 15+ quality difference, 75% possession and a formation thats not countered failed to get a single shot on target against 3 wide defenders?
Or how in another match, a team plays against 7 (weak) opponents early in the match due to 2 injuries and 2 red cards and only score 2 goals?
Oh and the weirdest thing: When I checked an opponent's strength during the match in the 80th minute or so, I already saw in his 5 last matches he lost the current match. There was a "L" there. Not much after, I scored the winning goal. Thinking it was simply an extra match he played, I refreshed afterwards and nope...he didnt play more than me, he actually lost the game before it was over! Could this be server-delay related issues where I simply see the match delayed compared to him? (in which case...does managing even matter??)

I win more games by not managing than if I watched. Utter BS!!! I'm gone from this croc of a game. This game isn't going to improve any time soon.

ITs a weird one, its our choice to come and have some light hearted banter on here and watch a game or two.....Yeh there seems to be some issues with the game that can be frustrating, but at the end of the day its only a game lol.
