Yes, We’re here for another season, and I’m hoping we can really push on towards the playoffs this time round, whilst (trying) not to bankrupt the club. We’re at the start of a pre-season where we have 5 friendlies; 3 easy, 1 a bit harder v rivals Cobh Wanderers and a tough one v senior […]

Tough at the Top? PearceyPlays #FM19 Journeyman Part 135 – OS3 C2 S2 P34 – Berwick Rangers – League 2 Match Day 24 – Stenhousemuir (H) 30th January 2021 15:00
It’s a tough one today, at Home to a Stenhousemuir side second in the pile. That said its a lovely position to be in – they’ve got to come at us, and we will get some gaps at some point. Before we get to the game the usual few bits. Our U18’s beat Tranent U18’s […]
PearceyPlays #FM20 Season 2 Post 18 – We go again? – Cobh Ramblers – End of Season 2020
So we have completed the 2020 Season, our first full one, with a Cobh Ramblers team that inspires joy & rage in equal measure. I’m really waiting on Shelbourne to see if they get promoted – if not I’m pretty sure the Manager’s job will become available there. If it isn’t there just isn’t much […]
PearceyPlays #FM20 Season 2 Post 17 – Nothing to play for (But Pride) – Cobh Ramblers – October 2020
That’s the problem with the end of season – nothing to play for, uninterested players… A little bit of professionality wouldn’t go amiss. Before i go through all the figures from an up-and-down September I’ve been offered a new contract – 1 year, same wage (£300/wk). I’ve asked for a delay, and will most probably […]
PearceyPlays #FM19 Journeyman Part 134 – OS3 C2 S2 P33 – Berwick Rangers – League 2 Match Day 23 – Brechin City (H) 23rd January 2021 15:00
PLAYER LEAVING Liam Watt is off to Brechin on a free (We are contributing £35/wk for the rest of the season). He just didn’t fit in with our plans going forward and frees up some more wage budget. He played 17 games for Berwick, 4 this, scoring 3 goals and making 5 assists. a good […]
PearceyPlays #FM20 Season 2 Post 16 – Up for the Cup! – Cobh Ramblers – September 2020
Welcome back to another instalment in my FM20 Career with a Cobh Ramblers side that are belying expectations left, right and centre. We’ve not lost since 22nd May, but this month is our toughest yet, 3 games in 6 days, 2 league games against very good First Division teams plus a cup Quarter Final against […]
PearceyPlays #FM19 Journeyman Part 133 – OS3 C2 S2 P32 – Berwick Rangers – League 2 Match Day 22 – Peterhead (A) 13th January 2021 19:30
Today we have a Wednesday evening match up at Peterhead, for us a 4 hour + drive to the Balmoor Stadium. We are still in the midst of the transfer window, so there are a few bits before the match to go through. Brilliant news, as Kieran extends his contract until the end of the […]
PearceyPlays #FM20 Season 2 Post 15 – New Boys Settling In – Cobh Ramblers – August 2020
Another good month in July – 5 points as expected, only 1 goal conceded but 2 0-0’s – we will need to keep an eye on our attacking output. A tough month coming up, 2 league matches (one eminently winnable, 1 v’s the league leader) and the toughest FAI Cup 1st Round we could have […]
PearceyPlays #FM19 Journeyman Part 132 – OS3 C2 S2 P31 – Berwick Rangers – League 2 Match Day 21 – East Fife (H) 9th January 2021 15:00
Today we look to continue our superb form versus a tough East Fife side, and we will continue through the transfer window. A very strong U18’s team beat Heriot Watt Uni Res 4-0, goals from Lewis Allan & a Kieran McGrath hat-trick. This seems to be a bug – I wanted to extend Sean’s loan […]
PearceyPlays #FM20 Season 2 Post 14 – Cobh Ramblers – Core Strength – July 2020
June was a very good month, 4 points from 6 in the league and our first silverware. Over the course of the next 4 months we only have 10 league games and the potential for 5 FAI Cup games if we can somehow get to the final. The added carrot there for the winner is […]
