The Grind | Poem

December 10th, 2024
A Steel dawn smears the night as shadows breathe slows,
Bones ache like rusted gears, my skin cracked and thin.
With grit-stained teeth, I scrape through the din,
Dreams hang heavy, but refuse to let go.

Gravel beneath your feet,
Eyes hollow from lack of sleep.
Hope’s a whisper lost in the hush,
But in clenched fists, fragments of fire burn.

Dirt-caked hands that never break,
You pull through yesterday’s rain.
Every step’s a war with whispers of pain,
Yet fields of failure forsake.

The nights betray, the mornings barely mend,
Bloodshot horizons flicker, cold and bend.
You carve out your path in alleyways end,
Where dreams are currency that others lend.

But in the grime and dust, your spirit’s Force.
Sweat-worn your flame never dies.
Each bruise a badge, each scar a silent rise,
And through the grind, your destiny is forged.

Match Engine

Match results are generated using a random normal distribution of results. If two teams are equal in strength the most common outcome will be a draw.

Results are skewed from a random normal distribution of results due to 1) home advantage driving a small skew towards the home team and 2) relative strength of tactic/squad selection (largest skew). This is the biggest area where your management decisions will impact!

Missing Elements

The big two missing elements are injuries and a proper transfer/ contract economy. The issue with injuries wasn’t the injuries themselves, but having a code or logic for the AI to deal with injuries was not something I could get my head around. With the transfer/ player economy to be frank I just had no idea where to start.

Football Manager 2025

I personally cant wait for FM25 to come out for real – the brave new world we are entering into with Unity and graphics is exciting. But in the meantime, why not play a true spreadsheet simulator?

Common Issues:

There is a common issue when running the game in EXCEL in languages other than english – where results are not being populated in a match week, nor being written into the match results tab. This is because different languages treat decimal places differently.

The fix is below:

You need to active the “developer Tab” in Excel first. The Developer tab isn’t displayed by default, but you can add it to the ribbon. On the File tab, go to Options > Customize Ribbon. Under Customize the Ribbon and under Main Tabs, select the Developer check box.

You will then be able to see this Tab and in this tab click the “Macros” button. In this open the macro named “generaterandompercentages” to edit it and change in the lines 0.00 to 0,00.

Save the macro, save the .xlsm (excel file) and start a new save.

Should work now.

Have fun!

The Dreamer | Poem

December 3rd, 2024
They sit beneath the pale, indifferent light,
A desk piled high with dreams half-wrought.
Each one a spark, a beacon burning bright,
Yet none carried to the end they sought.

Their mind a canvas, endless, vast, and deep,
Brimming with colors, shapes, and untold lore.
But visions fade while toil lulls to sleep,
The grind of days a lock on every door.

In cubicles of grey, they pass their prime,
Each tick of clocks a dirge, a mournful chime.
“When will it come,” they ask, “my rightful time?
When will my dreams be more than fleeting rhyme?”

The echoes answer not, their cries grow cold,
Ambitions lost to dust, the years unfold.
For dreaming builds a castle in the air,
But action lays the stones that place it there.

Take the first step, the path may twist and bend,
But every stride will bring you to the end.
Dreams are the seed, but effort makes them grow.
And only through the journey will you know.

Life’s a Beach | Poem

December 2nd, 2024
Life’s coin – of four shifting sides,
Our season’s dance, growth resides.
Spring to summer, then fall to frost,
A rollercoaster of both gain and cost
With each turn whispers, “Never at loss.”

Autumn stirs with its fiery breath,
Leaves like embers, to fleeting death.
Fierce winds howl, stripping trees bare,
But beneath the soil, life prepares,
For every ending, renewal dares.

Winter descends, its grip assured,
A frozen mirror, cold and clear.
The world stands locked in icy chains,
Our Hearths glows yet warm as love sustains,
Through struggle’s frosty remains.

Spring awakens, the ice retreats,
New streams hum with rhythmic beats.
Buds unfurl, the earth revives,
Promise of life’s song arrives,
In every drop, creation thrives.

Summer beams with a golden hue,
The sky an endless, perfect blue.
Waves kiss the shore, the heart feels free,
Life’s a beach, where joy can be,
Boundless tide to beauty’s decree.
