Nothing to add to these rumours, just that I'd fecking love it if it happened.
This is 100% true. Don't know if they will have kits and the like but they will have full squads, up to date around now.
Ive heard that too
Im guessing it will just be the Premier then?
Reckon so, but hopefully they think we're in the CL :D :cool:Quote:

It would be nice if they could do an all-island league in Fifa. just so I can play Derry City, Shelbourne, Bohemians, Cork, Drogs etc with Linfield :)
Fingers crossed this will actually happen this time- great for the league if it does
Just buy football manager :cool:Quote:

I won the Setanta cup 5 times. 4 in a row.
I qualified to the 2nd round of the Qualifiers the first 3 seasons, Then Qualified to the 3rd round. The next season I got knocked out in the 1st round then the last season I qualified to the Champions League proper, Knocking out Bayer Leverkuson in the 3rd round. Lost 2-1 away and won 1 nil at home, Leverkuson got 2 players sent off in the first 15 minutes.
I picked up 4 points in the group stages on my way out.
I left Linfield with 9million in the bank and a good young team.
I now manage Nottingham Forest in the Championship. Half way through the league I'm sitting 7th 12 points behind 2nd placed Birmingham.
Anyways. It would be good if we had an all island league in Fifa.:)
Don't mind FIFA, Pro Evo is where it's at.
FIFA is for amateurs!!
Agreed!Quote:

Perhaps EA might limit their selection to Irish clubs with a decent domestic and european record.
this century ;)Quote:

Would love if Fifa or better still, Pro evo had el teams with kits and squads. don't think it would happen though.
How about, us lot all email EA sports or konami and lobby them to include them (if they haven't for this season, it's too late now) for next season. If they got a reasonable amount of mail they might consider it seriously...?
hahaha.Quote:

It's definitely going to be included in FIFA 08, presuming they are able to get all the necessary information.Quote:

Jayz, a couple of ye seem very certain.
Do ye know researchers or something?
EA Sports were looking for player information from the clubs. Don't know if First Division clubs were contacted though.Quote:

Great stuff. Might be just for the other european clubs section though to play in the UEFA competitions.Quote:

Content be ripped out of it and put into a pes patch so its all good if true. All EA news burts on it only have who is on the box and nothing about the game itself.

Sorry guys just saw post above this!
i hate fifa havent played it once since 2002, pure pro evo man but if they do bring out Irish clubs i will definitly buy it, even if rams aren't in it, if we dont support it they wont do Irish clubs again, or expand it to First division clubs, doesn't matter anyway Rams will be in Fifa 09 either way!!
