TM Ireland - Trophymanager Ireland

Kudos to the keeper. He may be old, but he's good like, when he plays like that.

Not my preference to win games with less shots and shots on target, but fuck 'em, we shall most definitely take the points. Again I think it was an example of the over-importance TM puts on routine, particularly for keepers. I mean in real world terms the Bosnian keeper is not by any means inexperienced with over 270 games for his club and a few for his country. But this is not the real world, this is TM and his vastly superior skill stats imploded drastically. Whilst our keeper, the slowly deteriorating veteran, gets man of the match. In some ways it was a Ram-Raid win, as Bosnia are a pretty fecken good side, but we'll take it. Oh yes.
