Hi All,
Up until a couple of hours ago Shelbourne where stealing images from Premium TV in the UK.
The Shelbourne homepage brought you to a landing page which was copied in its entirity from Premium TV and changed to Shelbourne colours and crest.
All the Premium TV sites in the UK have a landing page as its the websites brand image.
Example:
http://www.rovers.co.uk
I rang premium tv through the number on their website and they are not affliated in any way with them. Soon after my conversation the page was removed by Shelbourne FC.
Premium TV where very angry that artwork and brand identity(both copyrighted) where used without permission.
Good luck with wiggling out of this one ! "Small man with a small website budget" lol
Ollie are ya there ?? Or too busy avoiding tax !!
Can they do anything legal at all ??

Sorry about the steel oops. I didn't think I was back in school ! Oh those where the days ! Sir lol ;)
It annoys me because other clubs have to pay good money for designers to come in and do the work, these guys charge top whack.
How would you like it if your club spent €1000's on a great site only for another club come in copy source and and change the club crest and away they go for a fiver and a dial up connection ?? :confused:
It's typical of Shelbourne cutting corners like they always do. The revenue will soon come down on them over other tax issues.

It may be a small point, but it's another example of unprofessionalism in the EL. The league needs to promote a positive image and this is another example of the mentality that is holding us back.

Not really, I'm not bitter or obsessed with Bohs I was just pointing out that this is possibley the most pathetic post I've seen on foot.ie in responce to the post. Unless you mean Ollie Byrne, which would be a fair point I'll admit :D

So far so good. After doing that you had a cheap dig at his club, immediatley after accusing him of having a cheap dig at yours.

I didn't accuse him of having a dig at Shels I accused him of being so sad, bitter and obsessed with Shels that he'd actually consider posting on the issue that he did. There's cheap digs at Shels every second post on here to be fair, I'd have some post count if I felt I had to respond to them all.

O.K. There are cheap digs at most clubs here. I guess I just react badly to them.
As it happens, I think what he did (telling on Shels) was quite funny. A mild bit of closed season troublemaking. Had I spotted that, I'd definatley be showing off too.

Well I had a day off sick was bored and took it upon myself to stir up some fun for myself !
Anyhow foot.ie is fantastic and its great we all have a platform to have a bit of craic about Irish Football !
Now anyone else have any juicy cheap digs we can fire Shels way lol :D
if you want an example of petty, visit the shelbourne message board and enter any Cork City related phrase and something else gets entered into your post. e.g. Rebel Army= rabble army etc etc
Now thats petty. The whole website is a joke and well done for spotting it

I can't believe the starter of this thread was enough of a sad ******* to spend the money on an international call to actually ring up this crowd, jesus christ :D
well, I'll echo that Shels mans comment. I think that he's allowed his explaination and it was damn right petty to ring England trying to get one over a eL fan who's doing his club a fine favour by producing a good site. Very dissappointed in you. Club rivalry is all well and good but that's too much.

From the Shelbourne site: "The problem was I did like the Premium Ad idea. I unfortunately mirrored it a little too well, but I didn't take their images. I don't think any of the clubs were having a Shelbourne Casino Night or Dinner Dance? Eitherway I have changed it. I guess the point is "Is the one up there legal to have" Its an ad. Rectangle in shape, advertising an event. I can't think of any other splash screen design other than a circle maybe? Anyways I have changed it accordingly but I can show anyone interested, the Photoshop PSD file with the composition of the images. The other problem is the Premiem TV sites use IMPACT font on images. I too was using it. If I re-use impact am I breaching copyright. The one up now cant possibly be considered under their realm of copyright."
Well fair play to ya, I only copied the nike logo for my new company because I like the idea lol :D Copyright my old son you might have heard of it you cant just go around thinking things are nice and blatantly copying it ! !
The reason I did it was plain and simple I am sick of Shelbourne Football Club and Ollie Byrne thinking they can get away with anything. It's not bitter or twisted I would simply say its getting even after Ollies comments last season and if you want to try break down why I did look no further than Ollie "ex con" Byrne because that man is a bigot towards my club and our fans !

My jaysus u wouldn`t see pettyness like this in a schoolyard
we all have problems with people/clubs in the league but ringing up a foreign company and trying to rat up a genuine EL man whose doing a great job with the shels site is disgraceful. sites like that need to be encouraged not shut down !

You do realise Ollie Byrne has nothing to do with that website whatsoever and rarely even visits it? I doubt he even knows about what happened and if he did he's probably laughing at the money you wasted ringing an English company to be a sad *******.

The thing is though, I bet if it were Bohs that were "mirroring it too well" :D someone from $hel$ (probably the convict himself) would be ringing up England, and then the media over here.
Ollie fought the law and the law won.

I do, it would be of no benefit to Shels at all so Ollie and co. wouldn't be interested. In fact, this whole thing seems to be over 'getting Ollie' which is what makes it so laughabley feeble, I doubt Ollie even knows about it. It's a website run by fans.

I can't believe you took the time to ring them - you're possibley the saddest ******* I've ever seen on the internet :D And christ that is some claim to make, but I think it might well be true.

I hope that if any good has come out of this whole business is that Shelbourne Football Club will sit up and take notice that people are watching and even something as little as this can cause a stir.
I wonder what I will unearth next ??
Oh and can I have a receipt with that please Mr Byrne :D

Again do you even realise it's a site run by fans that "Mr Byrne" has nothing to do with and more than likely isn't aware what's happened? Sorry, I mean, yeah I bet he's gutted that the website he runs single handedly had to slightly alter it's entrance picture, he'll think twice before he messes with the mighty Bohs next time!

Yes, but how many of your young fanbase know that history?
Feeder team or no, I don't think you'll find Bohs scouting out stadium locations in Ringsend anytime soon!

If we had the benefit of the FAI pumping money into our own ground for the international team like Bohs, or of not being absolutley robbed of two grounds in our spiritual home I'm sure we'd still be there. Frankly considering what happened us it's a wonder we survived at all, let alone went on to become the best team in the land again. Franchise my arse.

Au contraire mon aime, Cork City FC aren't involved in any franchise right now, and the one we were involved in wasn't worth talking about as it didn't amount to anything ....... and Slash ..... i didn't open my mouth about it ..... sheeze ... you're getting very shirty when the word franchise is mentioned ...... is there a nerve there or what like !! :p
