The Football Manager Documentary: An Alternative Reality

[Filipower]

Premiered worldwide today. Cinemas across the UK and in TVs around the world. Did anyone watch it? It was mostly a celebration and an oversized ad, but still it had great little stories from FM addicts and stuff. Highly recommend.

Also, they're having an FM2015 feature announcement and Live Q&A on twitch later. Here: http://www.twitch.tv/footballmanagerofficial

I plan on watching it. You've actually seen it?

And yes, I'm on twitch.tv waiting for the new features. Should be on in 25 minutes.

I'm such a fanboy.

 

[Filipower]

Same here

Yeah it was transmitted on TV here, at 7pm.

 

[yoyo913]

Cool, hope it becomes available soon for download. I can watch it with my gf this weekend.

 

[Filipower]

To be fair it's something people who DON'T play it should watch as well.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Horatiu makes his girlfriend watch him play. I always picture him like the maniac in Red Dragon pointing at a 16 year old from a non-league team telling his girl "he has 20 determination, do you see? DO YOU SEE?"

Haha

We found more than a few kindred spirits along the way.

A personal favourite was the contributor who shook his bedroom doorknob pre-match, as if he was making his way along the presentation line.

Others told tales of wearing a Carlos*et to replicate the ice-cold conditions of a Champions League away night in Ukraine, or setting fire to newspapers to replicate the 'Welcome To Hell' reception in Turkey.

Do you guys have stories like this? I guess my best (or worst really) story is creating my own ''Panini'' album with all my favorite FM players. I didn't print them out or anything though. Maybe I should.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'll jump around the room and slide on my knees if my team scores a big goal. I picture myself as Mourinho

 

[yoyo913]

Nothing too interesting. Maybe a raised fist or a "Fuck".

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Oh um... Occasionally I will talk to myself in an English accent as if I'm giving an interview about my team

 

[Mandieta6]

I'd always picture myself giving interviews or imagine tactical articles about my team, or what the commentary team might say or what the members on SG might say. Always very positive except for Arnau who never believes in my team's style and then gets buttraped when I own Barca.

 

[Filipower]

I looked for Jermaine Beckford shirt prices when I won the CL with Leeds. Too expensive for me at the time Other than shouting or punching the table I can't say much more. The occasional full match when it's an important final.

 

[Back Door Skip]

When I won the CL with Lecce I was happy for like three days and randomly would fist pump when I'd remember the dramatic finish. Also I made a documentary-like spot of my manager in my head.

Ever do a press conference in your head after a big win? I do it almost everytime .

 

[Back Door Skip]

Yeah, I hated the stock questions from the press conferences so I conducted my own in my head to drive the point home.

 

[Mandieta6]

"You must feel vindicated after you played 11 subs and youth players and still thrahsed the opposition, don't you?"

"I never doubted myself."
