Wish I had more to say on FM, but I never got round to playing it for a myriad of weird reasons, e.g. totally unsure of managerial tactics in real world footie for most of my life, and never having much money for games in the olde days*. Not unrelated to who I support, but the only people I knew who played it locally were Everton fans, and due to the game's main coders being staunch Evertonians, they'd always insert code that made sure that LFC would always do badly, regardless of their players; this element has been relunctantly removed in more recent years, partly due to the fact that it's being used as a legit tool in the real world of footie management, and in very rare circumstances people have made careers as managers for lower league teams based upon their FM experience.

A good read is the book Football Manager Stole My Life which includes all sorts of stories about its good and bad relations with various people and (British) celebrities.

Dumb question: can you get unscheduled interruptions like pitch invasion/streaker, or wild objects like a balloon from the crowd? Can you get games canned for hostile (in-game) political circumstances like racist away fans or something?
