It appears that a medal is now awarded to your profile if you've won a POTM.
Is it possible to be retrospectively awarded medals for previous POTM's if you can provide the evidence for same - should be verifiable via POTM index.
Just a thought!!!
Award, AWARD!

That's entirely up to the judges, he said, backing away slowly.

You thanked Mr A's post though, therefore you've endorsed one side!
Medals are only for this years POTM imo. This is mainly because, as odd as it may seem, I do actually have a life outside Foot.ie (except on Thursdays) (http://foot.ie/threads/81119-Dumbass?p=1390071&viewfull=1#post1390071). Ask John- he's not busy these days.

But the medals had little bits of string attached to them and all!!!!!!
This reminds me of school Sports Day 1981 when I won the Senior Infants 100 metre sprint and never received my gold medal due to some administrative mix up business. I'm over it, you'll understand.

'Twould bring a tear to a glas eye.
The other thing is that since the board update, all the links pre-April are incorrect. Afaik, there's a way of correcting them but I can't remember what it was.
Anyway, if you can provide the post, I'll provide the medal. :)

As pointed out, the links to more recent POTM's are not available but I've listed Feb 08 and Nov 08 below.
I also got POTM for Jan 09, April 09 and May 09. (Check the index - my names up in lights!!)
Therefore, I would be truly honoured if I could have 5 medals , which include bits of string attached, bestowed upon me by the Foot.ie brethren. :cool:
Deadly.

My Nobel Peace Prize fades into insignificance next to this!!!
Brilliant.

Great idea Wolfie. I feel so special now :)
And of course thanks to TCM who has no life on a Thursday and can afford the time to go back through all the old POTM's. ;)

Phew!
That's 2009 done, I think.
Everyone happy?
Seeing as your asking-I should have three :)
September 2009, December 2008, January 2009. Dunno how to fix the links for the last two, but they're referenced in the index thread.
I should have a few more. Moral POTMs anyway as I was clearly robbed by the UCD and Sligo massives and their internet skullduggery
I'm happy that the blank spaces where they should sit are there as a monument to corruption

Dodge should have anti-medals. Is there a Black Mark plugin?

Done.
That should be everyone from 2008 and 2009 done. That really is it though. Go and vote on this month's competition (http://foot.ie/threads/140188-August-2010-Voting?goto=newpost) everyone.

I never knew I'd won POTM for July 2008. Where might I find this post?

Joint winner. (http://foot.ie/threads/101214-POTM-July-Voting) I've forgotten how to make the link work though, I'm afraid.

Just to be nominated meant so much but I do feel a certain sense of vindication to finally get that medal, it will hang proudly in the downstairs toilet of my control panel.

My sole victory was in January 2008- it does feel good to have a medal to honour that now. :)

TCM, if can confirm you've stopped at 08, I'll go back a bit further.

2007 is done. I'm still working backwards.
September 2007 seems to be lost unless I can figure out how to display the post. It doesn't appear on the PotY ballot either, so perhaps it wasn't held. I'll try to find the original Sept 07 voting thread or the thread where we worked out how to display old posts later.
I made sure to email SuperGretna his awards.

It'll be whoever on this list you haven't awarded one to yet:

From that thread
ah ffs - I was the winner of the September POTM ( http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=73486 ) - and just because the thread was lost I don't get a look in?

Okay, all done, except for siemprered's April 2005 award, as he doesn't seem to be in the database any more. Anyone know if he's changed username?
I notice we never had a 2008 or 2009 post of the year vote.

He was banned. And subsequently claimed to dahamsta that his banning was a violation of his human rights under the EU charter. I don't think he's around any more.

Haha! I wonder do barmen have to endure the same crap:
"Ere, you. Yes you, the tosser ****ing on the carpet. You're banned."
"You can't ban me. I've got rights."
run them now so!
That's the plan. I'll stagger them a bit though. Boring to have lots of polls at the same time.
Thanks for the medal lads. It's with my first Clare league , cup and county championship ones. My Mum is so proud.
