The crest they are using for us is like 20 years old!
It's an improvement lads be greatfull for that at least. Rome wasn't built in a day
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
don't you know that they are.Quote:

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.

The FAI are indeed buidling a functioning league but I am not expecting Gran Favin* to be designing the website....
There will be people who were employed to do that and they should have got it right. Email the clubs, get them to email the crests.
It is not huge in a practical sense but "brand" is a hugely important and as others have said, if we start off on the wrong foot.
Even their previews are hugely disappointing. They could have been written in two minutes each....
Can you imagine any organisation attempting a rebrand and then producing a website short on detail and with errors?
Is there a tumbleweed smiley, cause we may need it!Quote:

You'd think so but the FAI seem very concerned about their new league logo being used properly. You should see the volume of crap they sent to clubs along with the logo (assuming you didn't write it obviously :D) so you'd think they might pay as much attention to other people's logos.Quote:

If people are unhappy with things on the website. Better to send them an email showing them the mistake than bitch about it here.
We really don't. We just expect it to happen. Most of us can extrapolate from past events.Quote:

They do link to a Derry City site (possibly unofficial ;) ) which in turn links to a highly controversial blog - seems like someone may have to fine themselves...:confused:Quote:

Cobh Ramblers 0-2 Limerick 37
Padraig Moran scored twice as new boys Limerick got off to a winning start at St. Colman’s Park to stun promotion contenders Cobh.
Veteran striker Moran headed home David Goldbey’s right wing cross for the opener on 50 minutes.
Nine minutes later Moran was there again to punish a dreadful clearance from Cobh keeper James McCarthy and fire home.
McCarthy redeemed himself with a 74th minute penalty save from Goldbey, but Limerick had done more than enough to take the points.
reprt on our game lsat night, game was played in turners cross :mad: :D :ball:
I got a very quick reply from them saying that the Dundalk crest will be changed asap.
They have serious detailed reports from the U-21 futsal league on the Fai.ie website and crap inaccuarate twaddle on the league site
How do you reckon they knew it was a 'dreadful clearance' if they clearly had nobody at the game? :)Quote:

Don't think there's a Shelbourne bias on Aertel, in fairness!
However, in the league...
