If, like me, your experience of football management computer games dates from a decade when it was necessary to attach a cassette recorder to the machine, there is a translation. "Sim" as in "simulate" - an apparently common practice of allowing the computer to decide the result without the player having to go to the inconvenience of actually playing the game and thereby skipping forward in time. Playing a game by avoiding the actual game-playing part seemed a slightly less weird concept after last Saturday at Molineux.
