I was just flicking through FIFA 09, and I was just wondering would people share my view that the L.o.I. First Division should be included ?

Unless the overall of the L.O.I premier division teams are improved then can't imagine the overall of the 1st division teams. I would still like to see it though.
Coleman for Ireland
There wouldnt be a star low enough to rank some of the teams
Here on a technicality.
quarter star perhaps. I honestly find it a bit boring after a while unless they finally put in The F.A.I Cup or something.Originally Posted by PartySaint

I would like to see it included, just so I could play Barcelona against Mervue United!
On the FIFA subject I'd just like to have a small rant!
While the publicity generated by being included in such a well known game is unquestionable; I find it annoying how lowly ranked LoI teams are in it. Surely Bohs deserve at least 2 stars?! In comparision - many SPL teams are all 3 stars. Rovers Reserve A-team recently beat the Hibernian FC first team. Although it was only a preseason friendly when combined with SPL poor showings in europe it shows there no warrent for such a gap in terms of stars between the leagues.
(I know its only a game but having most LoI sides at half a star is slightly embarrassing, its still really cool to play though!)
While I would love to see it in the game and win the Champions League with Kildare County, it would make no sense whatsoever for EA to put the 1st Division in the game. There is many leagues that should be in ahead of the Premier Division that arent in the game, so I would imagine we're lucky to have that so wouldn't say theres a hope of the 1st Div being in it... Hope I'm wrong though!
And PartySaint is spot on too, how many stars would teams such as Mervue & Kildare County get?? most of the Premier teams are on the lowest possible as it is!
Cmon County!
oi.
Would love it though, as wasa mentioned before the Irish teams get too low of a ranking, the majority of the SPL is below/around the standard of the LoI
I would like to see it included, but the Scottish Second Tier surely deserves a shout before ours? The Russian League? (It's the 6th best in Europe)
If they change anything about the Irish one it should be including us in UEFA competition, or upping our star rating (nobody can tell me the Keith Fahey rated in the low 60's for Pat's is the same one that played against United a short time ago...)
EDIT: Iorfa2MaccaJim, I now hate you for getting my hopes up that I'd be able to play as Limerick FC in FIFA 10

I have the PS2 version. Even if you win the LOI you don't get into the Champions League. There is no FAI Cup. This must be fixed
With only the Premier Division the FAI Cup could only last three and a bit rounds. Two fixtures to decide which two of the four randomly picked teams get through to the quarter finals, and then the QF, SF and Final.
UEFA competitions re more important. Any chance we could send a few mails to EA? I dont mean to 'put pressure' on them from the fanbase, just to bring the situation to their attention? Anyone got an e-mail address?
The EA studio in Vancouver produces the FIFA soccer games, so I'll just head down and start a protest tomorrow
I'm headed to Vancouver here next week myself, seriously. Is there anyone there I can request to meet with regarding this issue? I'm dead serious now.
Regarding the ratings, they could bump all the PD teams up by a star and then put all 1st div. temas as half a star.
That's if they ever do decide to have a 2nd Irish division, which they probably won't.
You've got no fans.
If they do it'll be after a huge jump in the ACTUAL standard of the league, I'd imagine.
And we all know that'll only happen after the introduction of a 16 team Premier
I corrected your sentence for you
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
Whether you're joking or not... we have 4 million people to England's 50 million... a 10 team Premier makes sense. We can support far less clubs.
Anyway, let's not get bogged down here... FIFA need to put in the Russian League before our First Division gets a call.
