    4-2-2-2 "Il Devasto"

    Hello, interested in trying this tactic, but when I try and open in with WinRAR it says the file is corrupted/damaged, and so I can't unzip it?! Any ideas what I'm doing wrong/how to fix it? Cheers

    Tactics & Training: The " I have a small question " thread

    Does anyone know anything about the amount of clicks you use on training meters, i have seen a guide that specifies a certain amount of clicks on the meter either 'maintain', 'improve' etc.? I have seen such a guide on los wonderkids forums, but it is from fm09 and wondered if this had been altered?

    The Secret Footballer: Fans stop gay footballers from coming out

    Not to be a pessimist, but the last thread that was made on this ended in someone getting banned for their homophobic views. Sadly, there are still homophobes in the world and possibly the most homophobic area of society today is professional sport. People should have the right to free speech...

    Homosexuality within sport

    I think you are too transfixed on football now, surely it makes sense to have more people who are comfortable playing football. You never know, there could have been a new messi or pele who weren't allowed to train because they were 'camp'. Or they got bullied at training and stopped going. Your...

    Homosexuality within sport

    It has left me rather depressed, 2 of my direct family are gay and it is very hard not to take this personally. I have defended my brother when a man assaulted him, been present when the man who raised me was belittled and taunted. How naive of me to have thought that homophobia was decreasing...

    I know of two married men, both with children who are now openly gay. So making reference to any sexual exploits shouldn't make your friends seem straighter to you.

    Homosexuality within sport

    I wasn't saying that your group of friends specifically were the problem, but you contribute to the general argument on this post. Everyone in the world is shaped by those around them, how we dress, what music we like etc. You will go on to spread your views to your peers, family, and maybe, but...

    Sorry Cal. I thought you said that it was not a good example. I misread your post, my apologies.

    This is sadly the problem, you can't act alone and make your own decisions, which I find very grim. The age old analogy 'if he jumped off a bridge, would you jump too...?'

    Homosexuality within sport

    Understanding sexuality and campness... I guess you should be the one tell 'them' how to behave. 'What they are', you are the one who isn't reading here, people are born a certain way, people certainly can change but unfortunatley for you, they won't wake up one day and decide not to be camp...

    My IDENTICAL twin brother is also gay, we look exactly the same and yet we live completely different lives, I play football and watch it regularly and he can barely kick one, despite P.E. teachers efforts I must add! People are born gay....

    Homosexuality within sport

    As I get older...? If you being an 'older' and 'wiser' person than me is what you are going for, you only adhere to the older. 'Excuse'... don't know what to say to this, an excuse for being gay. Maybe I should find an excuse for being 6 ft tall... or maybe I won't because that is an...

    Homosexuality within sport

    Not trying to go too deep into my personal life here but, I was raised by a gay man... However many people think he is my actual dad and think i'm joking when I tell them he is gay, some of my longest friends still don't believe I'm telling the truth. I think everyone knows a 'camp' gay guy...

    Homosexuality within sport

    This isn't a very good point, being gay puts you in a social minority such as being black or disabled etc etc. Using your example, would you say that a disabled person could not present a sports show where those competing were able bodied athletes? Also your mention of 'personal life' has been...
