MBL Community: Be An Online Football Manager With Hattrick
Today’s MBL Community post comes from Zath, who I’ve only just realised is one of the many users of my theme 
Zath has been a player of Hattrick, a simplified, webpage-based version of Football Manager 2007 for nearly two years. He’s even setup a Zath Hattrick League and games are played on Tuesdays. When you sign-up you get assigned a team in one of the lowest leagues and you can then buy/sell players, assign tactics and training. it if you like.
I’m tempted to join as I love football management games. I got hooked when I was about 10 or 11 when my big brother wrote his own football management game. This was back in the 80s when people used to write their own games (in machine code if they were any good) and used to buy magazines which include games you could type into your machine and play.
My brother’s game (he made a brilliant pacman game as well) was actually quite good, but I remember there were a few bugs in the transfer market algorithms! It’s funny remembering how technical he was back then, whereas 20 years later he only uses a computer when he has to, apart from still spending far too much time playing championship manager.
There will be another post from MBL Community tomorrow. Because there are too many members for me to check all of your sites daily, I’ve set up a new thread in the forum for you to let me know when you’ve written a good post. Please only post something you think is good or that fellow readers will be interested in, otherwise I’ll just ignore all of your suggestions.

You really should join up Everton, its not a huge timesink of a game (which is good for me, otherwise I wouldn’t be playing it), give me a shout if you do and want any advice.
I’ve only been blogging for the last week and a half and have still got a lot of work to do on the site, but thanks very much for posting about Zath.co.uk Everton!
Anybody else who’s interested in Hattrick and would like to join up our Zath Hattrick League are more than welcome to do so, just let me know!

I won’t be joining Hattrick, Football Manager/Championship Manager and the like eat way too much of my time. I’ve banned myself from them - far too addictive!
I did write an online football management game 4/5 years ago, “footy boss” it was called, never really made it out of beta testing unfortunately. However I do plan on writing another online football management sim in the future… but we shall see!

I’m the same with Age Of Empires III - had to stop myself buying it. I spent so much time playing AOK it was scary
