Errortel Watch

[pineapple stu]

Apparently we lost 3-1 tonight, even though the report caption said 4-2.

Does anyone have an e-mail contact for Aertel? Would love to e-mail them every time they got something wrong!

[KoemansCC]

Apparently GUFC were losing 1-0 after 20 mins with Glenn Crowe the scorer for Utd...

I thought we were winning 1-0 and glen Crowe scored for us.;) good signing himself and Glynn could make a good partnership:eek:

You must have a lot of free time, Stu!

[pineapple stu]

It'd almost be worth it! Had great fun that one time I e-mailed TV3 to complain about naming pretty much every single one of our players wrong, and they came back and denied everything, even though one of the errors was in writing!

Shock as UCD and Waterford relegated to Division 1 overnight, well according to RTÉ, wrong score reported too...page 221

[DmanDmythDledge]

According to the 11 o'clock sports bulletin last night Dundalk beat Cobh Ramblers 1-0 in Oriel Park with a Conor Gethins goal sending John Gill's men top of the table.

There's more at stake in this Setanta play-off than Derry realise :D

The FAI look to avoid a repeat of last year's disaster with the Christmas Tree.

[Mr A]

The same image lists tonight's Setanta playoff as being Derry V Harps :)

It's baffling to believe people can be this incompetent by accident

Still up there :eek: Even after moving from the banner headline to a sub-story.

No crib for a bed for Aertel tonight.

Best laugh I've had all morning, and I've been reading about England-Croatia. :)

[Mr A]

Tell Cobh to stick the D1 trophy in the post, we've certainly outflanked them on this one :)

[stann]

Haha that's genius! :D
There is no way that anyone can be that stupid by accident and be able to get up and get to work in the morning without killing themselves somehow. It must be deliberate.

[gspain]

I actually believed that up until a couple of months ago but they did appear to get a bit better lately eg maybe only 1 result wrong every couple of weeks as opposed to most of them.

It does appear that it is somebody just taking the **** and it is hard to believe that somebody is that incompetent.

It's not the first time. There are examples of them including results from the wrong division in the past.

For example, here they credited Drogheda with a Dundalk result:

Too funny. :D

Too funny. :D

Waterford only have 35 games in hand on Cobh :D

[KoemansCC]

Waterford only have 35 games in hand on Cobh :D

I can see Waterford making up that gap with the team they have, and theoretically they could finish on 108 points if they win their games in hand...but at this stage of the season points on the board are invaluable...

COMICAL

Boruc played in the 1-0 Uefa Champions League defeat to Rangers this week Here. (http://www.eleven-a-side.com/celtic/irish_soccer_detail.asp?newsid=30265)

Felt bad that Errortel watch had slipped from page 1 and spotted this on rte.ie

http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2007/1218/derrycity.html?rss

"In his first spell, Kenny guided Derry to the FAI Cup, two League Cups and into the second qualifying round of the Champions League rounds. "

I'm sure we were in the UEFA cup but then again, RTE doesn't do the UEFA cup

[MrJoeSoap]

Ah bless. You've gotta love them really.

Remember the days where week-in, week-out they'd be spelling Stephen Geoghegan's name incorrectly?

Geoghan 35'

[pineapple stu]

Yeah, it was just last week when Aertel noted he'd put UCD 1-0 up against L#on in the UEFA Cup.

[Raheny Red]

Would you have a screen shot of that by any chance?

[pineapple stu]

You what? :confused:

[Raheny Red]

You what? :confused:

Have you got an image of what you said above?

[pineapple stu]

Eh, no. It was a joke.

Good POTM nomination though!

[holidaysong]

The Indo website (http://www.independent.ie/breaking-news/sport/soccer/st-pats-look-to-keep-up-pressure-on-bohs-1416262.html) this morning:


Last night, the First Division resumed with a 2-0 win for Kildare County in their clash with Sporting Fingal.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Someone must have went home early...

[Rovers fan]

A few months ago i read on aertel "Derek O'brien had a pull last week and was forced to sit out the home defeat against cork city". I burst me hole laughing!!

Today in Irish Daily Star some pathetic crawling

We regret FAI errors

As Ireland's top sports paper, we publish hundreds - no, thousands - of articles each year about the FAI and soccer generally.
Unfortunately, sometimes we get it wrong.
One such example was in the June 17 edition of the Irish Daily Star. We stated that FAI Technical Director Packie Bonner was not part of the recruitment process for the International Performance Director and Under-15 international team manager jobs. We now accept that Packie Bonner is involved in both recruitment processes and we admit our error.
Also, in the edition of the Irish daily Star on Monday, June 16, it was stated that Brian Kerr, while manager of the Irish senior team, found it impossible to get match tickets through the FAI for the Euro 2004 finals in Portugal.
The FAI has informed us that, according to their records Brian Kerr received all the tickets he applied for at Euro 2004. The Star accepts this.
We are happy to clarify these important matters.


Irish Daily Star
"Better Because We Tell Lies about Irish Football."

The Star neglected to name the reporter(s) or Editor(s) involved in the decision to publish the erroneous information.

I don't know the facts in these cases but many "errors" newspapers admit to can simply be stories they cannot prove in court.

The danger is that you run a story based on the word of a disgruntled employee or former employee.

Anyway this topic reminds me that Aertel have got so much better later. Maybe they have been sorted out.

Tranmere in double transfer deal

Tranmere Rovers have completed the double signing of midfielder George O'Callaghan and striker Bas Savage.

O'Callaghan, 28, joins from Irish side Cork City, subject to international clearance from the Irish FA, while Savage has joined from Millwall.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/t/tranmere_rovers/7501602.stm

[gustavo]

Dont think thats a big error really , if it was French they'd probably say the French FA rather than the FFF

[ndrog]

"Tranmere are very popular back in Ireland and it's a club that should certainly be in the Championship, I think that's the whole aim this year."

wtf is dopey george going on about :confused:

Eh WTF is right! I go to TRFC home and away every season and rarely meet any Irish people ! Those that I have are there for EVerton or Liverpool the following day. There were a gang of Irish QPR fans from Galway over a few years back where the game got cancelled due to a frozen pitch in Prenton. It was their clubtrip for the year and they went to Goodison instead! As if their day couldn't have gotten any worse :)

On the 11th July I wrote the above.

on July 14th errortel had UCD v Dundee United cancelled. UCD did beat them 2-1 btw.

Welcome back old errortel.

Apparently Graham Cummins scored a last minute equaliser for Ramblers when in fact it was Daryl Kavanagh!

[Gareth]

I know from doing the scores each week that you can get it wrong at times, however give me a budget and resources and you should have no excuse. My problem is actually putting players in the correct positions :)
