Whoopti freakin' do!:p
In fairness, it's a lot easier to create a football management game with no facepacks and at times dodgy attributes than a 3D game with player likeness. That said, I get your point and I do believe it should have been done earlier. And for you Pro Evo fans, there is a great chance that the Eircom League will be featured next year if not the year after. The Konami people will be taking a look at selling figures and may notice a certain jump in the Irish market and put 2 and 2 together.Quote:

Any truth in the rumours that the delays were due to the difficulty in digitising Paddy McCourts hair in full flight?
no, they're getting rico to record the 2nd commentator's position. that way, he can still say something completely irrelevant to the situation, but sound convincing at the same time!
They haven't made a computer powerful enough to cope with Rico's vast vocabulary yet.Quote:

Or the Graham Geraghty sly dig while the ref's not looking? :DQuote:

A few photos with taken with them and Fran Gavin and then a few shots for TV3 playing around with a ball. Well organised too. A woman from the FAI approached me when she saw me taking pics, introduced herself and ask who I was there for. She also offered me a press release despite my far from professional credentials! The press release stated that it'll be the 12 teams from the premier league only that will feature in the game so looks like us in the first division will have to wait a wee while longer!
Have a few pics which I hope to post this eveing.
Sounds like a fairly professional launch
Good to hear
This is going to be great!! http://www.fai.ie/start.php
Fran Gavin, Director of the FAI eircom League of Ireland said: "Having the eircom League of Ireland included in FIFA 08 will enable people around the world to play FAI eircom League of Ireland fixtures on their computer consoles.”
Some penetrative analysis from the G-Man there, really earning his corn.
Was Tom the Gom or Maxi thereQuote:

Awh too bad the 1st division isnt in it, but it will still be fantastic beating Man United in extra time in the champions league final with a free kick from Keith Fahey:cool:
Are we still talking about computer games...:confused: :)Quote:

AND THIS JUST IN:
A man in his mid-30's has barricaded himself into the EA SPORTS bulidings in London.
The man is believed to be a fan of Dundalk F.C an irish based 1st division team in the Eircom League. He is protesting in realtion to Dundalks omision from the new ''FIFA 08'' game to be released later this year.
He was quoted as saying from the 1st floor window to journalists:
''Its an absolute joke how can they omit US, do they not know we have won 9 Leagues and 9 FAI cups?...we're Dundalk for gods sake..DUNDALK..what were they thinking when.....''
(he looked like he wasnt gonna stop talking so journalists cut it from there)
His demands seem to be simply ''include us in the game...OR ELSE!!''
He appears to have petrol with him, reminiscent of the Maxi McAllister incident of 2006, where €2.67 of petrol was cruelly wasted on the carpets of the FAI headquaters creating €135 worth of damage in the process
Officals are hoping the outcome this outcome isnt the same as new carpets had just been installed the previous week
Dundalk town itself has been experiencing unrest since news of the omision. EA SPORTS flags are been burned in the streets and ''DEATH TO EA'' rings out across the board.
The world holds its breath!!
hehehehehhehehehe

haha :D
Ha...Ha... I really hope to see you lot get relegated.
its a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrcccccccccceeeeeeeeeee e
yizzzzzz area a fAaaaaaaarceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Ask Roy Keane, he'll tell you the same thing.
Anyone taking bets on Longford Town folding before the release date?
As promised here is a link to the pics I tooks at the EA FIFA08 LOI launch ealier today in Templebar here in Dublin.

Good pics man.
Quick question - I'm assuming that there will be a create a club function still in the game. So if you are a First Division side, will you just have to create your own club and put them in Premier League?
By the way - Was that number 3 from Derry kicked out of Big Brother already? :D
Do they still have that facility in EA games? I remember the last one I bought (PC version about 4-5 years ago) required you to download a separate application for editing or creating data.
Now nowQuote:
