Am I going blind or is there no section about the eircom league on the FAI website where you might find something as basic as fixtures, kick off times and refs for the weekend matches or perhaps a list of the clubs in the league and some info about them?

They're using the official college crest. For that, I thank them.
You're fighting a seriously losing battle here!

Worked for me looks like it could be a good site. I entered the competition/register thing too. Apparently tickets to an Ireland match is the prize.

That looks excellent in fairness.
Some kind of obvious link from fai.ie wouldn't go astray though.

The Kildare County FC one isn't the official one. Slightly different. They copied it from some German logo site I think.

Finn Harps is wrong as well.
I didn't think that they would be stupid enough to have a link on the wrong crests to official sites that have the right ones.

oops thought its was the right one now.. they had a different one on the splash a few days ago - the one from five or so years ago.

The crest that is on it now is the one we used in our jubilee season in 2004. It isn't our proper one. Its not really good enough if they cant even get clubs crests right.:D

Our old crest too, but in fairness not sure we sent them our new one yet.
I like the click on the match and see the preview bit. Easy to navigate.
Shamrock Rovers crest also wrong. What a very professional organisation.....

Jesus lads, I've never seen such pettiness. Okay the FAI aren't perfect, far from it, but there are too many nit pickers having a go over trivial stuff.

I'd be more worried if they were directing people to the wrong site or something. With new things you will have teething problems, not everything will be 100% right straight away. If you think otherwise, then you've never done anything in your life. They have the basis of a good website there, fair play to them. With the crest errors, get in contact and let them know. Don't just sit back and have a go.
Same thing with people getting on their high horses over the Shels/Rovers fixture clashes. These things will happen. Compliling a fixture list is a pretty big job and mistakes will happen. As far as I'm concerned, as long as the league doesn't end up being decided/threatened to be decided in the court this year that'll be the start of an improvement for me.
It's too easy to take a pop at the FAI for every little thing. They will make mistakes along the way but so far, personally, I think they've done a good job with the league.

"Dundalk V Finn Harps
Dundalk go into this fixture as favourites for the First Division title, but Harps also have their backers.
Oriel Park boss John Gill was delighted when star striker Philip Hughes pledged his future to the Lilywhites, and Hughes will be the star man for Dundalk this season. First Division Player of the Year last season, Hughes notched an impressive 21 goals during 2006.
Harps will look to improve on last season and there is no better stage for them than an away fixture against Dundalk. Harps fans will hope that Jonathan Minnock steadies the ship at the back.
Team news to follow"
when do they plan to give the team news?!? would that not be a preview?

They have the proper Rovers crest!
Without going in to details - I know that for a fact.

Moving the games to Thursdays will cost Shels at least a few grand in gate receipts.
The more worrying thing is that the mistakes are still happening in the new, better run, league. The season started today and it was only a couple of days ago that someone spotted a problem with the registration of 30 or so players. We came very close to a trip to the High Court there.

Fair enough, I'll go with you on the fixture thing, but I still think these things are going to happen in a new set up.
The registration issue? Should a lot of the responsibility for that not lie with the clubs as well as the FAI?

The registration issue? Should a lot of the responsibility for that not lie with the clubs as well as the FAI?It probably does, I don't know the details of how a player gets registered. Whoever is at fault, the point still remains that this new league came within a whisker of a major cack up this week. The mistake was spotted before it happened, which is an improvement on previous years but we still came much to close for comfort.

Fair point then, I'll give you that one. I reckon that's a bit more serious than a crest on a website not being 100% right.
Christ I'm starting to post like an FAI employee.

It seems to me that there's no reason why this registration issue would only have come up this year. Should players have fallen foul of this before?

LOL I reckon some people on here want the league to be the usual farce just so they can say "I told you so" and have a pop at the FAI. Exactly the small minded attitude that's holding our league back.

Mistakes like the link that was wrong yesterday and the incorrect crests are symptomatic of a governing body that doesn't care about the League. That's why people are pointing this stuff out. If the small things are wrong now......

Indeed.
Can you imagine if the FAI used the old logos of the corporate sponsors on the fai.ie site. I am sure the firms would sit back and say, "sure its only a small thing".......:rolleyes:
People have to get this minnowism out of their heads. We have every right to demand these things are right.

Point it out to the FAI. If they don't change it then, then maybe you have grounds for complaint.
It's not a case of saying "it's only a small thing" and forgetting it. It's a case of saying that the FAI have inherited the rubble of the league and are now trying to build a competent and functioning league and structures. Doing that, things will go wrong. A wrong crest on a new website doesn't affect anyone in a practical sense, and therefore isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

is anyone familiar enough with all eL crests to complie a quick list of the incorrect crests and links to correct ones and email it to info@fai.ie. I'd do it myself but I'm not familiar with all the crests
At point out the **** up and see if they do anything about it
That was a link to an application form yesterday. Maybe they are reading this thread and sorted it out??
don't you know that they are.
the Harps crest is right now, was it the Gold coloured one that was up yesterday?
foot.ie should start a thread called "FAO FAI"
the FAI seem to spend so much time reading websites and forums that it may just be the best way to get your message to them!!! :D :eek:

That idea's crossed my mind before, it's not as ludicrous as it sounds. Maybe we should have personalised threads/forums where posters can leave messages of support and encouragement for G McD, JD etc.
