TM Ireland - Trophymanager Ireland

Another new team makes the cut for the League of Ireland in Season 26, Lakeside Smokers.  I thought his name was a nod to tobacco enthusiasm, but not sure now...

- A great season for you in 2.2 and Congrats on a stunning Play off victory against One Nil. ...To start, can you give us your reaction to last Fridays match and if you fancied your chances of promotion at the beginning of season 25?

Well you can emagin my surprise when i logged on and seen i was two up,not for a second did i think i was gona conceed 2 goals.but as everyone knows its not over till its over but in presure situations your best players always come up trumps and couldnt of picked a better time to (88min).I never thought i was gona get promoted i always kept an eye on relagation even though i only lost 4 matches.

-----------------

- How do you think you'll do up here? & I see that you've already put a few up for sale - what areas are you looking to strengthen?

-----------------

- Your thoughts on WAB's achievement in his 1st season in LOI and How you think yourself and Hertha and the other promoted sides will fare overall next season ?

What can i say bout welsh all blacks the man just knows how to play this game,i look at some of the players he sells and wonder why he does but look at him now he knows what hes at.im going to struggle but its all good cause i made it,on hertha i think he'll be fine much stronger squad than me but you never know.

-----------------

- Who are you most looking forward to playing in the LOI?

Everyone cause there the best in ireland that can only make you better.there is no preasure on me i can have fun getting beat this year :)

-----------------

- You've got a YA of 7 at present - any plans to expand this and who are the youngsters to look out for in the future in your side?

I had it on 9 before but my youths dried up so i went back. ill stay at this untill the samething happens.I have a few good youths but i have two future irish players.drennan gk 14,000asi+ not bloomed 20* that im keeping and o toole 8000asi+ 20* 2 full seasons left who i want to sell so i can try stay up..

- So what are a proud Kildare mans views (I assume yer from Kildare - only looking at yer home page there) on all things Irish in Trophy Manager at the moment - the NT, our community, beech and Wolfie etc... and where the hell did the name 'Lakeside Smokers' originate from (Great name BTW :)?

the name lakeside smokers is simple.i lived in lakeside park(kildare)and i love smoking w**d,what more can i say :)

-----------------

- So. I'll take it you're pleading the 5th on commenting on Wolfie and Beech, wise man! so moving straight along - Any thoughts/ fears on the new and improved superslick TM version, coming in Season 26?

I remember when the star system came in me and my mates didnt know if it was a good idea but now its the best thing ever,at first alot of people will be saying this is shit, that is shit but before long everyone will think its better.

-----------------

- What impact do you think conditional orders/new M.Engine have on the game next season?

I think it will work out better for other people(people with a strong bench)but its another step forward so cant complain.

-----------------

-...and finally, you've been playing TM since season 12 - what keeps you coming back, for more?

I love this game.getting to make your own player and make your first team or sell for nice moneys.i like buying players and selling the for profit,like peeping who is in my team 55,000asi+ i payed 12mill for him.thats the fun get the bargin.:)

Cheers Smokers....Best of luck in season 26 mate!

Cheers, p.s. Im going to smoke my way to the top :)
