Brand New FAI...

**pete** · 25/08/2004, 1:08 PM

Site looks better mainly cos has more consistent colour scheme.

I can't find any National League section

Found table section alright which is badly laid out as very wide tables. Even at 1152*864 resolution i have to scroll across a lot to see.

Dunno what kind of resolution will display this properly! Sloppy work

I don't like the crest & IMO will be changed again within 10 years.

Christ, that's one boot ugly logo.

The site is looking better though.

New logo, new site, same old ******* running it. What's the point?

The website is running and the new badge is up.

At first site it looks like what my late pooch used to eat for his supper.

Have a look at the eL section. http://www.fai.ie/list.asp?lid=eircom_league Jokers.

I take back any positives i said about the "new" site. The layout is dire!!!!! I dunno what resolution it developed on but would be common practice to test it out on more standard user setup

Also while i am it why launch new site but not launch shop & leave some secions blank.

Amateurs.

Very flashy crest, no doubt it'll be completely dated in six years and will require updating
It could have been worse (e.g. the previous version) but it's not good.

Site'll be ok once they iron out the gliches

Pete the page should resize to fit your browser window.
It certainly does for me anyway.
You need to have patience with these things and surely you can appreciate that with your background.
Knocking the site for the sake of knocking it doesn't help anyone or achieve anything.
Post constructive criticism here if you have some, you never know who might read this thread.
My first opinion is positive.
I like the little league table at the bottom.
It looks professional and certainly looks better than this effort by the former World and European champions.

It was difficult enough to come up with a logo worse than the old one, but trust the FAI to pull it off.

New kit looks decent though.

**strangeirish** · 25/08/2004, 1:29 PM

I think the crest looks good, trendy like! Beats the sh.. out of the old one.

**dahamsta** · 25/08/2004, 1:32 PM

I'd disagree with suggestions that the site won't render properly on smaller resolutions, it looks to me like it'll render ok on 800x600 or above, and in this day and age you'd want to be a complete anal retentive to care very much about anything under that.

However the logo is mawky, and the site as a whole ain't much better. It's so stereotypically Oirish all it's short is a couple of leprechauns and some diddley-idle-eye music in the background. Yee-uch, money down the drain.

The new jersy is an imporvement but jesus that crest is absolutley awful.

**brendy_�ire** · 25/08/2004, 1:35 PM

What is the logo actually meant to be? Is the dark green thing at the bottom meant to be a shamrock? What's the circle things above?

**Roo69** · 25/08/2004, 1:39 PM

Rank ! the new crest is pants, but the site looks a hell of a lot better than the old one, once the problems are ironed out it'll be pretty good.

Fran has also decided, to save money, to change the match day programme. Which is bad news ! the last programe designed by new century publishing was QUALITY ! but the new crowd are quite poor, bad move IMO

If you can't see it there's really no hope for you.
Sadly for those of you who don't like it you'll have to suffer it for a few years. Those of us who like it can look forward to a whole new wardrobe for Switzerland

It looks like someones robbed the logo for Eircom League weekly and scribbled FAIreland on top of it to me.

**thejollyrodger** · 25/08/2004, 1:43 PM

i think the new logo looks great, i know in 5 years things will change but it looks great for now! The site looks a lot cleaner and ties a lot of things together, I like the way the Eircom League is there alongside the World Cup Qualfying group, it has focused on the future and development etc. Nice simply clean looking website.
