About

Goal-Kick was formed in 2005 by a man known simply as Vilius. Many, many changes have occured since then which nobody really cares about. This includes the downtime of the site when someone didn’t pay the hosting bills and we lost everything. In recent times, Goal-Kick has finally been finding its feet again, and is growing stronger each day. Leading up to the release of FM 09, there are many ideas in the pipeline to ensure that Goal-Kick cements itself as one of the best Football Manager fansites around.

One of Goal-Kick’s strongest and most praised aspects is the forum. This is where we all reside and poke fun at certain individuals and discuss the crisis the world is in. Apart from a few paedophiles and corrupt politicians, most people are fairly normal and welcoming, so register and start posting today!

Meet The Staff Team

Q
Every organization requires at least one guy whose face you’ll never see because his identity must be kept secret at all costs. Well Q isnt that guy. His name is Mátyás Kvarc, evil genius par excellence and has been stalking the scene since before Pokemon were even invented. Using his vast experience, he is spearheading the GKvolution with his own brand of leadership, Qvolution. Unsurprisingly, we dont let him pick names for anything else. Q likes to spend his time fiddling around with computers, destroying people with the name ‘Phil’ and counting the days till John Bostock becomes a full England international.

Wazzar
M.I.A. Well he has been since a young lad they christened Howson knocked 2 goals in, in the play offs. Ever since then Wazzar has been fulfilling his duty as Chairman of the Howson committee, this job entails Wazzar bearing witness over Howson, filming his every move and then selling these short 23 second films to Bigfoot enthusiasts and Smarter Child on MSN. Wazzar loves his Goal-Kick, he loves his Goal-Kick so much that between the years of 2005 and 2007 he was known as GK much like Paul Gascoigne was known as G8 this created many problems for our young Wazzar as people often confused him for Graham Kavanagh ie the Irish Roy Keane.

Skacel
The Leader of the GK Fighters, Skacel is a man with a mission. Before Skacel, GK’s FM sections were dead and buried. After Skacel, they’ve risen like Dida after he was slapped by that Celtic fan. Of course some (about 99% of the able and normal population) would say the strange obsession Skacel has with Pokemon is wrong,but we at GK gloss over these minor eccentricities. Skacel also has an unsettling tendency to change his username every 3.65 seconds. Dont worry, you wont have any trouble picking him out, he is the one with the Pikachu peeking out of his sig. Yes, it even followed him to school one day.

James
By day James is known as James, believe it or not. By night he be known as, Q2! not only does that rhyme but it also offers a great insight into James. After Q’s recent semi-retirement James stood up and took control, he made himself a root admin so no one could argue either. His role in GK is not really known, personally I see him as a sparring partner when it comes to Spam, young James was even the inspiration towards the now legendary Cow Says… thread. Whether you know him as James Flora or Q2, you’ll all know him as the one that is far over protective of their offspring(The GK Mainsite) Waytey once edited the Mainsite and look where that got him, off the staff team and out of this thread!

Jay
Boy genius and famous journalist with a closet full of scarves, monocles and berets to charm the pants off Waytey & James. His cunning plans have seen him rise to power with a forever improving music collection and a badass vocabulary including words like calamitous. He is the youngest of the Jay’s who post at GK and is very posh whether he has the plastic surgery to back it up or not. Interestingly Jay is actually short for James and if my suspicions are correct he is one of three James’ on the staff team and further more the J in their names rhymes with Gay, I think this will prove to be very interesting in the GK End of Year awards as all three have been nominated for the Gayest Jamest Award, expect a tight race but expect Eastwood to come out on top.

Trademark
You know when you ring the company and the man picks up the phone and he says “Thank You, Come Again”? Well that has nothing to do with Trademark but that man is most definitely part of Trademark’s extended family. Trademark arrived on Goal-Kick through the means of immigration, he immigrated to Goal-Kick in December 2007 and the Bombay Bomb hasnt looked back since, I’m pretty sure he is Indian and if he isnt then I regret nothing. With Trademark came some very dull opinions and a Goal of the Week competition, aside from Goal-Kick Trademark enjoys catching elephants in the Siberian rain jungle and eating them.

Levo
We dont know a lot about Levo, all we know is he came from a little place I like to call, Blogworld. In Blogworld not a lot happens, you find the odd rant but most of Blogworld’s residents die out after around two weeks, but not Levo. No Levo defied all the haters and his Life In FM blog has now been going for twenty two days! And we get regular updates every four minutes from the man himself. Levo’s role on GK is to spam out FM sections, he has failed miserably so far, at every corner you find a great post from Levo which is very annoying as it means everyone else actually has to do some work to make themselves look a little but more respectable. He’s the newest addition to the team but hes already seventh in command, I cant be bothered to write out the Ten Commanders so work it out for yourself.

Eastwood
Eastwood stumbled into the GK Offices on a cold Wednesday morning while riding a small ass and simply called out for his beloved Sausage Sandwich, at this point we at GK knew that we wanted him and after a serious of negotiations involving Prawns and Victoria Sponge Cake GK got there man. So far Eastwood has brought the odd post on his political views within the Former Yugoslavia Republic of Macedonia and hes also brought his signature of a naked man with more body hair than the rest of the GK team put together. Odds are its actually a picture of Eastwood in his wild years before the infamous Cheesegate incident.

Max
Captain Pessimistic! GK plays host to the whining nature of Max “Maxi is a dogs name” Harkin. Our Australian friend enjoys Kangaroo Boxing, Wine bottle corks on hats and that big red rock. A self admitted glory hunter Maxi took up the option of supporting Liverpool after their huge achievement of winning the Worthington Cup. He mainly posts in Our Off Topic sections however every five weeks he hits our FM sections asking for which players to buy when hes managing Liverpool, even though he only manages Liverpool. Max is one of the last Old-GKers knocking around and by god this bastard wont get the message, hes yet to realise that we all hate him. But hes still our little Maxi Poodle. Praise be the Poodle. God speed.

JC
The Irish answer to Mark Corrigan. JC actually finds being Irish quite vulgar and aspires to one day be Martín Palermo. Jay is one of the GK Fighters, 4th in command to a certain Dangermouse, JC enjoys posting now and then inbetween being Irish and resitting tests. His music taste comes into question while viewing his Last.FM account, why a mere 2 minutes ago he scrobbled the track Lionel Ritchie - “In Da Club”(Cover Version) following on from his poor musical tastings his tastings in MSN Heroes also comes into question as in all fairness we all find McLovin mediocre at best compared to past MSN Heroes such as Johnny Bravo, Lily Allen and Anders SG. To wrap up the life and times of JC lets all take joy out of the fact that his name “Jay” actually rhymes with “gay”.

Dave
David is a vital cog in the well ran machine that is Goal-Kick, well he was, then Goal-Kick got some real staff and it took the hard work of the likes of Waytey to truly show the Goal-Kick public what staff are capable of. A long time fan of the colour blue Dave took it upon himself to support a team that wore blue, after realizing that Palermo actually wore Pink Dave moved onto Portsmouth, now a 2 year veteran Dave can hold his own with the other Portsmouth fans, but that annoying guy with the trumpet finds Dave and his views quite vulgar. In the not too distant future Dave will be making his semi-annual post on Goal-Kick, something we all look forward too, especially David himself.

Osgood
GK’s Gianfranco Zola, basically hes 4′6, foreign, has greasy hair and runs around like a headless chicken. Yes, Osgood occupies a free role at GK a lot of the time he has run of the mill, the only time he doesnt is when Maxi is having a strop at this point every staff member quivers in the corner until Harry Kewell comes into the GK Office and scratches Maxi’s belly to make it all better. Osgood can be found posting across the board and sometimes, if youre really lucky, you may see him give us a rant regarding the 30% inflation on bird seed! Osgood loves all the birds, but unlike that Harris lad from Bumfries Osgood is yet to catch a great set of blue tits, one day Osgood will though, just you wait!
