Sore Loser

Posted in FM Blog | On July 10th, 2008 | By Ash

Success is a horrible habit I posses. I’m not patient, and if I don’t see straight success I start losing faith and interest. Funnily enough, I’m talking about Football Manager, not Throw-In- I suppose some might say I’m talking about the latter, too.

I don’t agree with people who take control of a club who are already world beaters and turn them in such a force they go 1,430,003 games unbeaten- I’m had my fair few careers with Liverpool and thoroughly enjoyed them but when I try and stray away from them, I don’t get the same excitement. I strive off success, I need to be winning games- when I lose it turns my tongue sour, I tend to quit the game after a loss but find myself jumping straight back into action a couple of hours later. Like a drug some would say. If you’ve ever touched drugs, and had a crazy comedown the next day, it puts you off, but doesn’t stop you.

I suppose I’m probably looking into this a little deep if I’m comparing it to drugs, but it seems like an issue that’s stopping me from jumping into the core experience of the games. I’ve never had a successful lower league career because results are inconsistent and that fucks me off.

I realize I can’t live as a sore loser all my life, so I’ve decided to start a game unemployed and see how I fare. Hopefully it’ll refresh ideas for this blog, too!
