Ja, så var man tilbake igjen etter 14 dager med ferie. Har prøvd en ny øvelse i år, 3 uker sammenhengnde ferie, og fant ut det ikke var så dumt.  

Brukte det meste av tiden i Oslo i forbindelse med Norway cup, og der hadde vi det topp. Var med som assistenttrener for et J16 lag. Em herlig jentegjeng med et fantastisk humør, og eksemplarisk oppførsel. Spillemessig gikk det også godt med de, kom helt til 1/8 finalen i A-sluttspillet. Det er vi fornøyd med, ble slått ut av de som vant klassen. Bode på Abildsø skole, der vi ble tatt vare på av et fantastisk vertskap. Vertene der var fra Helios Handicap IL. Et helt fantastisk gjeng, flottere gjeng skal man lete lenge etter. Ellers ble tiden deres brukt til shopping og tur til Tusenfryd, Tror det var en fornøyd jentegjeng som satte seg på flyet og dro hjem.

Kom selv til Oslo noen dager før N-C, for å få tid til litt andre ting også. Rakk blant annet middag sammen med Spinner og hans familie, sammen med Shy. Det ble en veldig flott kveld, med mye god mat og et fantastisk hyggelig vertskap. Takk Spinner og frue. Besøkte også en nervøs Coach Mac i HQ på torsdag under sesongskiftet, første uten Spinner tilstede, men guttungen klarte seg fint han. Chairman var også tilstede, begge to veldig hyggelige gutter.

Ble også tid til å besøke noen av konas slektninger i området, samt en onkelunge i Vestfold. Resten av tiden brukte vi til å sose rundt i Oslo området, før vi satte kursen hjem gjennom Sverige. Uten stress så brukte vi noen dager på å komme oss hjem. Så alt i alt en topp ferie sammen med kona og de to yngste jentene. Dette frister til gjentakelse en gang.

Ha en fortsatt fin sommer folkens, og lykke til på skolen til alle dere som straks tar fatt på den. Husk, prioriter skølen først, det vil dere tjene på i det lange løp.

Well, I'm still here. After more than two years of ML.  Had never thought, in my wildest dreams, when entering this game  that this should last this long.

But I still find joy in playing, and in contact with fellow managers. The whole community here is basicaly positive, and you are a great bunch of people in here. It's thanks to you i'm still here. Too bad you're still here some may say, but I don't care :-)

Some major changes has been done to ML during this last year, and I will dare to say, they mostly have been (as Jijikent says) working as intended. And mentioning Jijikent, this guy I have learnt to appreciate more and more as an fellow admin, and as a really good guy from Romania. Would also like to mention my sparring partner when it comes to changes and news at ML, Scrat, you're truly a great guy. In this section I also would like to say I'm glad Selleri is more active again, good to have someone to discuss dipers, pregnacy and other family matters with.

Spinner and Chairman, what to say about you? Besides you both must be nuts having trust in this crazy gang called admins. You must have nerves of steel. Hope you both, in coorperation with Coach Mac, keep up the good work at HQ.

Norsk-chat is something special. Thanks to all of you guys and girl (Katchy) for many a funny and pleasant hour of talk there. And now as we are heading towards christmas, take care of each other and your families. Hope the most of you will stick around for  a long time.

Have fun. Enjoy life, life's good.

It's kind of sad when people leave ML. This time it's Banin leaving. I had not imagined that I was going to see that happen. He always was around as a fresh breeze,kind and helpful to everyone. Ofcourse,when things weren't like he wanted,or when someone stepped at his toes he could rise his voice and let us know.

Banin was the first one at ML I really got contact with. This ofcourse had to bo with my habbit of staying up late. We had many a laugh at the forum ,when I was just started here. He gave me a lot of good advices,and I always could ask about anything regarding ML,and he answered good and polite.

Lately I've had the pleasure of having contact with him also outside ML,and I have to say,he's just as good and kind there as he has been at ML.

Sad to see you leave ML,but I hope the contact we've got here will live on. I would say I've found a friend here,and this comes from a guy that mostly shakes his head when people talk about finding friends at internet.

We will all miss you beeing around at the forums,but if enough is enough,that we will have to accept.

Good luck in the future Banin,take care.

I first of all want to wish you all a Happy New Year!!

What we have left behind of good and bad,we allways will carry with us. The bad and sad things hopefully during time will fade ,and that what was good will grow stronger and brighter in our memories. We all do have our ups and downs during a year. For me the downs have been the loss of close relatives and friends. During time I know for sure the good memories I have of this persons will eas the pain.

Good things are a lot. The greatest of all is that my eldest daughter gave me my first grandchild in August.  A lovely little doll named Vilde. Will she be spoiled? Hardly. Other good things,yes of course there are. All my four children are healty,and doing well at school and work. I have a wife I love and who has kept up with me for sixteen years,not bad.

As I sit here with my non alchoholic champagne and a cigar,I wonder what will future bring. I hope for you all that the future will bring bright and happy days. Good days to attatch your memories to. Sunshine both at school and at work. The best thing is to walk on sunshine,and hopefully the most of you will do that.

I wish you all the best for the future and good luck in life.

Don't worry be happy.

Life's good   enjoy it.   Live smart.        Cheers.

Christmas day,and here we are. It's quiet in the house. Children getting lazy because of too much candies,and my wife and I of too much food. The night to Christmas eve I used to decorate the house,and take a look into ML. I promissed my wife I should not be so active at ML during Christmas. I even believed it my self. Well ok during day time I manage wery well to cool down,but during the night when the rest of the bunch are asleep,it's worse to keep away.                                                                                                                            This Christmas has sofar been very good. My son came to celebrate together with us for the first time in nine years,that was great. My youngest daughter could not remember having spent Christmas eve with him. So you can guess who was the happiest child at Christmas eve.                                                                                    Right now I'm using the nights to plan a new season. My first season in 5th div.ended with 3rd place. I lost the playoff against Liverpool. I guess thats ok,then I can use some more time to strenghten the team. Hopefully I can be able to compete in the top of the department next season too.                                                                   I will use this opportunity to congratulate everybody who's been promoted this season,the leaguecup winners,and the winners of the Div. Christmascup. I also know that we constantly get new players in the game,welcome to you all. I must not forget all the winners of all the national leagues.                                   Enjoy the rest of Christmas,and I hope you all will have a happy new year,and a great new season. Hope to still meet many of you at the forums in the future too. specially in the norwegian thread B-gjengen.                      Life's good ,enjoy it.       Live smart.

Every year it happens. We are heading against Christmas,and I get longer and longer nights without sleep. Idon't know if it is tha age ,or the child witin me ,who is playing a trick on me. Luckily I've found ML this year,wich means I've got something to do during the night.    To day I've tried out the SC08 on NRK,well it looks like I'm going to have to practice a lot to compeete there. It was a fun game as a relaxation from ML. At least something moved a little bit faster on the monitor. Have anyone of you tried it out? To day me and the kids have been chased around the house by my wife. As I've said it's almost Christmas,and who do you think is hurrying around trying to get everything clean and dust free. Me and the kids trying as best as we can to save everything we think we need. But ofcourse all that stuff is garbish according to my wife. It's an advances kind of hide and seek through the whole house this time of the year. Luckily my wife doesn't read this,but I can tell you that we got your way to put away most of the stuff. I unfotunately know the next step in this preparation for Christmas,it's climbing in ladders to change curtains,and up at the attic to collect all the decorations. I think I will accept a lot of overtime at work this next two weeks,wich is no problem since my occupation is painting and floorcovering. Is it a wonder Iget no sleep ,Hurray for the 2nd. of january when things starts to get back to normal again.    Enjoy life,live smart.  See you.

This wasn't the start of a new season I wanted. One draw ond one lost match. I'll try and see it from the bright side,it could have been worse. It was a huge difference playing against people with skills than against bot-teams.Hopefully Iwill manage to byu a couple of players that will strenghten my team. I'm searching every site about transfers to find them. Well enough complaining. Besides that life's good. Sitting by my window looking out on a red suncoulored sky.If it gets more quiet now I'll start to think that the peace of christmas has caught me. Wich reminds me I haven't starting planning presents yet! Sorry I forgot that's not my problem to solve. I leave that to my wife (familiar to someone?). I get surprised every year when someone comes over for to say thank you for presents. First of all I didn't know they had got any ,secondly I don't have a clue what they've got. The only thing near me who actually knows is my wallet.

Life's good ,enjoy it!!

Lazy sundaymornings can be real good. Sitting by my computer scrolling through ML. With my wife and kids still asleep, and my dog just streching on the floor. Looking out my window to see a landscape covered by snow,almost looking like a christmascard. A cup of coffe and a cigarette while trying to plan the next step in season preparations for Sunrise FC. Team is off to trainingcamp later today, hopfull they will come home in a better shape than thye are in now. Meanwhile I'm trying to get my hands on a goalkeeper. It will be a difficult trip through this season with only one goalkeeper, at least with the one I've got. Well no more worries ,just now life is good,got to get myself a new cup of coffe.  Have a nice day,and enjoy life.

Well we are now about to start a new season in this game. I just hope that everybody still are going to participate. There were some anger among the managers regarding to the set of Q's, I really hope tha twhen you all got some time to think about it you'll all see that it wasn't all that bad as you thought. Here as in real life we must axcept changes now and then, and we must be open minded and give it a chance before turning things down. I can see trouble for my team too, as a new team in a build up fase with little money the new prices for teamless youngsters is an issue at the boarding room. Our chairman always says troubles aren't to be scared of ,they are to fight and defeat. Lets us all be happy that the ML team tries the best they can to keep as many of us as possible enjoyed,as we play ML. I think as a whole the improvements they have made is for the better for the game. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY,HAVE FUN!!

Here I'm sitting trying to plan a new season. Haven't yet bought any new players,but I surely will have to if Iwant to survive in 5th division.This seson the club has built a bigger stadium,and we are almost finnished building a hot dog shop. next season we are not sure what we are going to do with the stadium. Before planning anything about that we must ensure that we've got good enough players to survive .Thi weekend we are going to participate in two cups,and try to prepeare the team to finnish the season in an appropriate way in the last round. If anyone more experienced ML player have good hints what next step should be regarding to upgrading stadium or team whenpromoted to 5th division feel free to make your suggestions. Hope to meet some of you that I've played frendlies against this seson again when we start a new season.

Team and managername will be the same,so I will be easy to find.

Hi I am about to finnish my first season here at ML. Things have gone better than I expected. My team Sunrise FC is at the top of the table.

Have a few draws,and the rest of the matches we have won. It has been fun joining in to this game. I still have a lot to learn, but hopefully things will be allright.

The team are playing in the Nuts cup this weekend. have had some bad experience with cups so far,hopefully it will be better this time
