Football Feeds

[passinginterest]

Seems to have gone mental. Pages and pages of them when I go to What's New or New Posts.

[Mr A]

It's all UEFA stuff.

[John83]

Go to their forum and us the "mark this forum read" option in the dropdown menu (it's on the top right somewhere - forum tools or some such). If this is just a one off, it'll clear them from the new threads search. If it's the aggregator going all mypost on us, it'll clear them until the next batch comes through.

Good thinking Sir.

UEFA and the FAI both updated their sites without forwarding the RSS feeds, so all this crap ploughed through when I updated them. Feel free to let the FAI and UEFA know that their web developers are incompetent morons...

[dahamsta]

There's an awful lot of UEFA posts, should I kill it perhaps? Very few of the posts are relevant to Ireland.

[Dodge]

Yes, please do. Wasn't so bad when I got search for new posts with ignoring certain forums but haven't been doing that since the upgrade. I think I suggested that club RSS feeds are added as at least they have some relevence.

Here's the Pats ones;

I'll remove the UEFA one. I'll add one feed from the official website of each club, if people post them here. I'm guessing general for Pats dodge?

[Dodge]

Yep, suppose so.

Added, added.

[Dunny]

Dundalk Have one but it's hardly updated.

Heres the twitter feed if You want to use it: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/20322317.rss

[dahamsta]

Ta but no Twitter feeds, looking for proper news.

[dahamsta]

Dodge, who manages the Pats website? The feed is borked, crops titles and descriptions if an apostrophe rears it's ugly head, for eg.

[Dunny]

It's all the articles that go up on the official website, dunno why they dont use the other one.

[dahamsta]

The system here pulls in the content from the feed too, and posts an excerpt. Twitter doesn't have excerpts, because it's garbage.

As if to prove me wrong. There's definitely something wrong there though, I've had at least two articles I couldn't push to the homepage because they were cropped to bejasus.

Ta but no Twitter feeds, looking for proper news.

asked for this in the older feeds thread, but it got lost in the mix:

I've set up a twitter account for when I update the new Irish Abroad site: http://twitter.com/irish_abroad
can you add its RSS feed to the feeds folder - http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/106106241.rss

The feed is only going to be updated when the site is updated, or if there's an outage, none of the usual "my cat's breath smells like cat food" rubbish

It is proper news, and related to Irish football, and there's only update links (apart from two posts when I had to test a new automated client) so any chance of an exception for that feed?
