I was thinking for a while about starting a Youtube series, and it's time to finally start it. That will be a Journeyman save around Europe, but there will be a little twist. I won't tell everything, more details in the video! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJYhpI4sf54

2016 June Round 10: Östers IF Here it is, the first game of my managerial career, and i'm worried. I have just 11 players, one of them is suspended, and we play against 7th placed Östers IF. I'm worried, but im hoping, somehow maybe we can save a point, and i feel our only chance if we park...

It was 7th of June, when i arrived to Coppenhagen. I glimpsed a table with my name on it. He was my driver waited for me on the airport to take me to Höllviken. My first way led to Fredrik Bagger's office to sign my contract. He welcomed me, and handed me over to my assistant manager, Joakim...

The Beginning The Beginning So here i am, finished my studies, it's early June, and I'm about to dive a header into the world of football management. Fortunately one of my former classmates working for a sports agency, so i called him. "Hello Mark! You still working for that sports agency...

Prelude - Introduction I'm Patrik Gregor and i was born in Hungary almost 24 years ago. My past with football is really adventurous. I used to play on regional level, just like my father and many family members, but i wasn't so persistent. I started to play when i was about 5, but the coach...

2017 August Consistency. That has to be our motto for the upcoming season. After the last year rollercoaster it will be really important. We can play really great, we can have a chance for promotion if we can keep our heads clear. Week 1: Ballyclare (Home) Ballyclare finished 6th last year...

2017/18 Preseason After the season the players went to their holidays in early may and we agreed that we start the preseason on late June. I had some free time as well, so i travelled back home, visited my family, relaxed. I really needed that recharge because i know that i will have a lot of...

2016/17 Season summary and awards After our last game, i had time to think about our season. Summarized im satisfied with our team. The 4th place is good enough after my first year as a manager. We were really hectic at some point of the season, and it hurts a bit that we missed the...

2017 April On 3rd of April the chairman came to my office. I didnt notice him as he stepped in because i was so deep in my thoughts as we were one day before the first match of that stage. "Thats what i like about you Mr Gregor" "Oh, good afternoon Mr McCann!" I saw him very often in the...

2017 March Week 22: Dergview (Home) A win could see us on the top of the table if the other games go on our favour. 11th placed Dergview, they tricked us in the League Cup and in the league as well, so we cant be overconfident. If we want achieve bigger things after the split we would need...

2017 February We were really rapsodic in January and we have to bring some consistency because we are looking good, but if we cant keep our heads clear it can cause some problems and i really dont want that. Northern Irish Cup 6th Round: Dungannon (Home) Another first league side, they were...

2017 January After the undefeated December everyone was happy, confident and that was a nice early Christmas present for me and every Loughgall fan. I wasnt able to travel back to Hungary for the holidays because i couldnt afford it and we started really early in January. Week 17: Armagh...

2016 December Northern Irish Cup 4th Round: Limavady United (Away) Another lower side opponent on this game, we need still need the morale boost and build confidence, but it can be a tricky schedule, so most of the starters have to be on the pitch. Luckily we were able to start the game with...

2016 November I'm really tired... We played 17 games in the last three months, i have to think about the replacements because the squad changes every week a little bit, i have to travel from Belfast to Loughgall every day. I can't find a scorer who could help us out, i tried almost everyone...

2016 October Week 9: H&W Welders (Away) We visited the 4th placed side and the bookies predicted an even game with a draw on the end. For me that was a good sign, we were in a poor form, and the other side looked really decent. The bookies were right, that was a really even game, both team had...
