Old and new seem to be coexisting during the transition phase.Originally Posted by adamcarr
Also whenever I type www.fai.ie. I still get onto the old site, why is this?
Have Boot Disk, will travel
It a big mess, the original instance of the domain www.fai.ie is still active (with the old site), and now the NEW site is being hosted on a second instance of the domain (www1.fai.ie). To make matters worse, some of the links from the new site are pointing at links to the original instance of the domain, i.e one minute your on www1.fai.ie/etc... then your on www.fai.ie/etc....
Who in their right minds performs "live" testing. Another fine mess.

Maybe they should read this:

"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
BluetonicAnyone register their details for memebership yet?
They ask for credit card details, yet the connection is not secure, it's just a normal HTTP post.
JOKERS!
Thought i'd let them know about this as i was thinking about registering myself but was wary for this reaosn too but of course when i tried to send a mail to thier contact info
enquiries@irelandfans.ie
IT DOESN'T WORK- amazing
who was it once said "fail to prepare, prepare to fail"
I have decided to give the site a few days before I decided to interact with i.e. join the fan club etc. I expect teething problems on the first day, but by the end of the week I think it should be sorted out by then.
They are asking for credit card details via a post-it form? eejits
fai, you gotta love 'em
what pages refer you to the old site - links please? -
the domains may be a bit mixed up but the look and feel of the site is consistent
thats a nit-pick
First off, this is easily the funniest thread I've read on my short time here. There is nothing funnier than when people complain and don't realise they're funny. Have a read of some of it, it's classic.
Not too keen on the new logo, but in all honesty, it just doesn't make much difference to me. I don't see the big deal. If it indicates a new-ish begining and the FAI are going to have a crack at being professional, then that's good enough for me. I liked the idea of using gaelic on the logo, but maybe it's because soccer's still viewed as an ' English game ' - same sort of reason why the votes go against Croke Park soccer. I might be way off there, no-one quote me.
The site looks nice though, they've probably ironed it out since your comments though. I do like the chance of working for the FAI, I might send in my CV and see if I get offered the role as second striker.

I just thought I would add my tuppenceworth.
I think the new site is great visually (not 'surfed it' yet though).
I love the new badge/logo FAIreland etc.....very 'colour coordinated'
it looks 'reet' professional.
The Eirecom logo on the shirts does not work, not orange on green
anyway, orange on green clashes, the orange just 'floats' on the
green.
Eirecom need to have their logo redesigned, its a pretty yucky
clash of colours, I think they should get the people who did
the new FAI logo to do it for them.
I would like the same people to do a new shirt too, I think they
would do a great job.
I would love a shirt based around the logo, either white on green
or green on white, as in the top 'banner' on the new FAI site.
I would even go as far as buying one
Top marks from me 10/10.
As Alan Partridge would as "Very simple, very effective"
"Combines Old Ireland with New Ireland seamlessly" (my words)
Got some really positive feedback about this from friends in France, Holland, the US, Canada, England and Germany.
All we have to do now is get the manky eircom spoldge off the front of the shirts.

I just rang Umbro in England and they said the new kit will be released on 1st October.
Not sure if this is the UK release though, maybe it'll be released at home beforehand, hopefully before the Cyprus game.
Has anyone heard anything from the FAI?
I'd have thought it's a commercial opportunity missed if not available before our first home game.
Wheres the Ticket section gone to? any guesses, not a bad looking site. Clicked on the fans bit and kept getting errors.
The new logo is confusing to me. I dont think the incorporation of FAI into Ireland works, it serves only to confuse, having said that it doesnt look all that bad though it looks more like what a replica company would produce rather than an official team logo.
Think it's meant to enforce the IRELAND aspect of it, think about it, some guy in the States (which is presumably what most of this is aimed at) picks up the jersey, "Hmmm, FAI, nope dunno what that is, what else is out there" or "Hmmm, FAIreland, must be something IRISH , I'll have that"
I knew it was only the Irish that wouldn't like it. Here's a neutral pole, the comments are even better than the results of the pole:

Having looked at it a few more times, I think the general idea of the shamrock on the ball is good but I'd think it would be improved without the shield (very un 21C IMO) and as someone said earlier, use Irish instead/aswell or the letters CPE/FAI. Perhaps you're right: We tend to knock the FAI at every chance, but then when you look at the shambles in organising the rest of the site, is it any wonder?
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
It hasn't grown on me at all. I'm still wondering if they weren't smoking something when they designed that logo.
Looking at it again, it reminds me of the Arsenal logo.
Ade
I noticed that too when I first saw it, the shield outline is the same.
I'd settle for other similarities with Arsenal too. Like the type and quality of football that we play. I fear I may be living in hope, however.
