    Want To Help Compile Irish Results?

    I was compiling David Connolly's international goals and I found it pretty hard to go to the depths of the internet finding them (though I did). So I started this
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republi...team_-_results

    I use RSSSF to help me out, if you check 1988 Euro Qualifying, 1990 World Cup Qualifying, 1994 World Cup Qualifying, and 1998 World Cup Qualifying, you'll see what I have done so far

    Basketball season just ended so I have lost more time on my hands

    Great idea, good work but I see a few mistakes already. I don't think we played a friendly against Israel in between the two Israel qualifiers last WC campaign. Also, 48,000 at the Lithuania qualifier at Landsdowne in September 1993? Seems a bit steep. Good luck with the article and if I get some time I'll pull out some of my old Irish football books and I'll post the results.

    Have been working on that for the last while
    Am up to 1993 at the moment - it is very time consuming but into the last furlong

    Check it out here

    http://www.soccerscene.ie/sssenior/matches.php

    If you click on the score you will get a report of the game - some are not great but the one I will be basing it on is

    If you have any suggestions you can e mail me at info@soccerscene.ie

    Excellent piece of work. Should be a sticky linking to this as I had never seen it. Also, worth getting on to Wikipedia. (What format is your source data in?)

    Because if you want the details (attendance, referee, minute scored, scorer) you have to jump around alot
    (Like this)
    http://www.rsssf.com/intldetails/2001e1.html
    http://www.rsssf.com/intldetails/1993e2.html

    I'll be gone the rest of Thursday and Friday so I wont be able to post anything then

    Also, I would hope there are mistakes, this was all I did yesterday and it got tiring

    I have used it a bit, it is good if RSSSF doesn't have something but it only goes back a few years with attendance and ref, etc.

    You say Alan O Brien scored against Portugal in first friendly of 2005 but he didn't even make his debut since 06'.

    You can convert it to PDF for sure under Tools > Webcapture in Acrobat Reader. I have the full version 5 but I'm not sure if it available in the free version.

    I've converted loads of websites into offline PDF files and this works best for me. The only thing you have to decided on is how deep you want to go (ie if you want to download the linked webpages too) However, with lots of wikipedia pages all the information you need is on the first page.

    If you just want to download a website so you have it available offline here is the best free program for that:

    Cheers for the info lads, I was thinking of using the page for some stats, according to what's there at the moment, we've never lost a game where Kevin Kilbane scored!

    I'm up to 1986 and have no plans of stopping, anyone who wants to offer any help is more than welcome, my dream is to go all the way to 1926 (is that it) though I think I would kill myself and I highly doubt that information would be available to me (I wonder if the FAI has it?)

    Done
    (oddly enough, its 81 years to the day (March 21) of our first international that it is done)
