Football Feeds

They're all british match results tetsujin1979? People here generally hate the premiership, like actively hate it.

True, but each result highlights the Irish players in that game, and it's a co-operative effort from users on foot.ie, TheBoss and irishfan86 contribute the results from Cillian Sheridan's games in Bulgaria and Aiden McGeady's games in Russia, respectively

I'll check out with the webmaster dahamsta. is it just the headings where the problem lies? The articles seem to link OK?

Fair enough. I'll include it in the automated feed pull, but I'm not sure pushing it to the front page won't be counterproductive. Opinions?

Yeah, they link fine. Here's another example from the weekend, note the title: http://foot.ie/threads/141549-Pats-St-pat

The Pats problem looks like it's down to using curly apostrophes (i.e. ’ instead of ' ). I had that problem with an RSS feed before.

+ FIFA media releases

FAI feed suspended

Just ike to give my website a plug here

Nice site carloz, added.

Just a thought, could there be a separate folder in the feeds folder for twitter feeds of irish footballers, football journalists, etc?

I think if anyone wants that, they'll just follow them on twitter. I'd imaghine there's a few lists out there with most of it. No sense in having the feeds here just turn into a twitter feed

Happy to create a list under the @footdotie account if ye'll help me with it.

some to start off
Players:
David Meyler: http://www.twitter.com/#!/DMeyler
Padraig Amond: http://twitter.com/#!/padraigamond21
Shane Duffy: http://twitter.com/#!/ShaneDuffy1
Stephen Ireland: http://twitter.com/#!/StephenIreland (rarely updated)
Stephen Hunt: http://twitter.com/#!/boyhunt

Journalists
Ken Early: http://twitter.com/#!/kenearlys
Daniel McDonnell: http://twitter.com/#!/McDonnellDan/

to be honest, most of it is the usual guff you get on twitter, but you get the odd update on things like injuries and training

I've started this now. Can't add Padraig Amond, his tweets are private.

With twitter dying a slow death, I've moved the live updates to mastodon. Found out recently a feed can be read as RSS
Can this be added to the list of feeds? If the updates swamp things, just remove it
https://mastodon.ie/@irish_abroad.rss

Sorry @tets, I forgot about this. I've updated the Irish Abroad feed to the Mastodon URL now.

All the feeds just show up as "Abroad" to me?

That change seems to be pulling a lot of feed entries. Some start-up issue or maybe it's pulling the same posts multiple times.

At least that and the title just being "Abroad: " means the new posts feed made me think of this:

Me too, and the emoji are displaying as question marks

Your feed doesn't have titles:

I don't think the emoji problem is resolvable, I think emojis are disabled on Foot.ie because people tend to abuse the living bejasus out of it. Can't stand the things meself, which is probably another factor.
