The split update

So, are we top, or are we slipping away down the table?

View attachment 437596

Well, neither of those, but we're in a very solid position, I don't have a screenshot of the fixtures sadly, sorry about that.

The League Cup

So, have we retained the League Cup?

View attachment 437594

*Sigh* we lost the final to Celtic... Anyway, the Scottish Cup

View attachment 437592

We've made it to the final where we face Dundee Utd. If we win that match we will have won every Scottish trophy. Will we? You'll see in the end of season update ;)

End of season update to come

​
 
So, the time has come. Have East Stirlingshire retained their Premiership title? Well let's see.

View attachment 437572

We won 5 games out of 5 which must mean...

View attachment 437571

View attachment 437570

YES! Our end of season form was possibly the best we've had on this save, resulting in us lifting the trophy for only the second time in our history. But, the cup, if we beat Dundee Utd we have lifted every Scottish trophy there is to lift...

View attachment 437569

Well that was a competitive match :p I feel like us and Celtic are now a class above every other team in the league and we are now solid European sides. (Celtic made the final of the Europa League) But, we're not at the status we're going for yet. I doubt it will be very long until East Stirlingshire lift a European trophy if I'm honest. Anyway, pre season update to come

​
 
Pre season update

Our pre season was eventful, and in a good way, first things first, the friendlies.

View attachment 437356

Some incredible results gave us a very good pre season and a good way to get us ready for the league.

Transfers

View attachment 437355

View attachment 437354View attachment 437353View attachment 437352

A good transfer period, 2 cheap prospects and a brilliantly rounded CM from Inter.
Buriani, or as I call him, Biryani should make a mark on this league

Finally, our CL group

View attachment 437351

Not as hard as last year, 6 points against Salzburg, 4 against Zenit and hopefully 2 against PSG should see us qualify. Obviously it's not that simple though...

Mid Season update to come

​
 
So, half way through the season, are we showing our dominance?

View attachment 436955View attachment 436947

Well, kinda. We're top, but not too convincingly, or at least as convincingly as I'd like.

Anyway, the cups

View attachment 436946View attachment 436945

Doing well, but no less than I expected tbh. Now for the big one, the Champions League!

View attachment 436944

Well, we've done ok, but is it enough?

View attachment 436943

Of course! Now we face our rivals Chelsea in the first knockout round, can we beat them this time?

Champions League vs Chelsea update to come

​
 
It's stories like this that want me to continue my Raith Rovers save, good job!

Still laughing at how badly Rangers done last season, 10th place!

They were predicted 3rd as well! I don't generally talk about Rangers when I write it, as it is a little bit of a touchy subject for some people, given their big fanbase. I normally have a laugh when we thrash them or something, but I always want them to win the old firm (pretty terrible coming from a Celtic fan) because they make us have a better chance in the league. Here's their overview, they've died a little over the past few years (again :D)

Champions League vs Chelsea

So, are we able to beat the people who crushed our dreams last season?

First Leg:

View attachment 436912

Good result, let's go all out defensive in Stanford Bridge

Second Leg:

View attachment 436911

YES! We're through to the Quarter Finals again, this time we face Real Madrid *gulp*

Real Madrid & split update to come

​
 
Split update ft Real Madrid games

So, how is the League looking after the split?

View attachment 436902

We've already won... that was easy

The League Cup:

View attachment 436896

Another cup in our growing cabinet

Champion League vs Real Madrid

So, can we achieve a miracle?

First Leg:

View attachment 436908

An OK first result, hopefully a win in The Ure

Second Leg:

View attachment 436905

NOOOO! We deserved to win, we got robbed tbh. Anyway, next year awaits.

So, since we already won the league, I hoped to demolish everyone in our last 5 games. Here's how they went.

View attachment 436434

Best last game of season game on this save, and one year we won 5-4 on the last day, that shows how brilliant that game was. We ended up winning the league by 22 points.

View attachment 436433

The Scottish Cup was also a demolishing job, with Cowdenbeath in the semis

View attachment 436432

We destroyed Cowdenbeath and then destroyed Dundee Utd in the final for the second year in a row.

Player of the season:

View attachment 436430

Yes, you're not seeing things. We lost the traitor b*stard on a free at the end of his contract. And whilst he left us, he did score 37 in 26.

Pre season update to come, where we look to replace Mohamed

Pre-season update.

So, have we had the pre-season of past years or have we fell away

View attachment 435128

We fell away a fair amount which makes me nervous going into the season.

Transfers were a bit different this season. A lot of departures made me go cheap and sign a lot. Here they are

View attachment 435121

View attachment 435120View attachment 435119View attachment 435117View attachment 435109View attachment 435107

The best signings were the loanees. They strengthen weaknesses whilst the other ones just improve depth. IMO Orchard is better than the scouts say, not a first team keeper, but definitely decent. Our CL group looks like this

View attachment 435106

If you thought my older groups were bad...

Mid Season Update to come

​
 
So, half way through. Are we doing as well as I expected?

View attachment 435035

Well, I don't have a screenshot of the league sadly, but the answer is yes

The cups

View attachment 435034View attachment 435033

View attachment 435033

Easy, just as expected again. Now for the Champions League

View attachment 435032

So, pretty good fixtures, besides getting thrashed by City. But was it enough?

View attachment 435031

YES! Rapid Vien had a campaign to be proud of... Now we face Real Madrid...

Real Madrid update to come

​
 
Champions League vs Real Madrid

So, we're back for revenge, can we get it?

First Leg

View attachment 434763

YES! Let's hold on in the Bernabeu!

Second Leg

View attachment 434762

NOOO! So close to a famous result, and we deserved it, just like last year :(

Split Update to come.

​
 
So, pre-season, did we get off to a good start?

View attachment 433836

Very solid, good wins, I decided to play slightly weaker opponents as you can see, which gets morale great for the start of the season

Transfers were very youth focused, at least the 2 that came in for money

View attachment 433829

View attachment 433826View attachment 433825View attachment 433824View attachment 433823View attachment 433822

Mostly good signings, a couple not so much :(

I messed up and didn't SS our Champions League group (I always forget something :p) but it looked like this (In order of seed)

Man City
East Stirlingshire
Ajax
Hapoel Tel Aviv

We should qualify from this group, Ajax may sound tough but their squad isn't great...

Mid Season update to come

​
 
No, this save isn't dead. Just got a little bored of it for a while, but I'm ready to play again.

Mid season we're going strong, then again, when are we not :)

View attachment 428308

St Mirren *cries slowly*

View attachment 428307

League Cup been better though

View attachment 428306

Celtic will prove tough opponents, but we're a better team than them, so I don't see major problems.

Now for the only cup people care about, the Champions League

View attachment 428298

View attachment 428297

We somehow finished higher than City, but I don't care how! Now we face Lyon...

Champions League update to come
​
 
Split Update

So, have we continued our very impressive form?

View attachment 427928
Jesus, there's form and then there's this, these fixtures meant only one thing...

View attachment 427926

We've already won :p

Have we also had League Cup success?

View attachment 427925

One more thing... Remember that Champions League game..?

Came into the leg expecting a relatively comfortable win...

View attachment 427920

Decent result in France, we should seal it in the home leg.

View attachment 427919

ARE YOU KIDDING?! WE DOMINATED THEM... *cries for hours* :(

End of season update to come
