not sure if you already know but heard a rumour that EA Sports are featuring the eircom League in the next game. Any one heard anything?

Hope it is, but in all fairness doesnt this rumour come out every year?

**Risteard** · 01/06/2007, 1:39 PM

Nothing to add to these rumours, just that I'd fecking love it if it happened.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 01/06/2007, 1:59 PM

This is 100% true. Don't know if they will have kits and the like but they will have full squads, up to date around now.

**Tis-smeee** · 01/06/2007, 2:02 PM

Ive heard that too

**Kildare Lad** · 01/06/2007, 2:15 PM

Im guessing it will just be the Premier then?

Reckon so, but hopefully they think we're in the CL

**Sonic** · 01/06/2007, 2:33 PM

It would be nice if they could do an all-island league in Fifa. just so I can play Derry City, Shelbourne, Bohemians, Cork, Drogs etc with Linfield

**Solar** · 01/06/2007, 2:40 PM

Fingers crossed this will actually happen this time- great for the league if it does

Just buy football manager

I've got it great game. Although I dominated Irish League football too easily.

I was manager of Linfield for 7 years.

Won the league 7 times, the Irish Cup 4 times, the CIS cup 6 times & Co. Antrim Shield 3 times.(obviously the names of the CIS cup and Co.Antrim Shield are different in the game).

I won the Setanta cup 5 times. 4 in a row.

I qualified to the 2nd round of the Qualifiers the first 3 seasons, Then Qualified to the 3rd round. The next season I got knocked out in the 1st round then the last season I qualified to the Champions League proper, Knocking out Bayer Leverkuson in the 3rd round. Lost 2-1 away and won 1 nil at home, Leverkuson got 2 players sent off in the first 15 minutes.

I picked up 4 points in the group stages on my way out.

I left Linfield with 9million in the bank and a good young team.

I now manage Nottingham Forest in the Championship. Half way through the league I'm sitting 7th 12 points behind 2nd placed Birmingham.

Anyways. It would be good if we had an all island league in Fifa.

Don't mind FIFA, Pro Evo is where it's at.

FIFA is for amateurs!!

Agreed!

Anyone remember the commodore 64 football game (european football [??]) which had dundalk fc and possibly shamrock rovers and dublin [!] (wearing red jerseys)??

Perhaps EA might limit their selection to Irish clubs with a decent domestic and european record.

this century

**Aaron** · 01/06/2007, 5:32 PM

Yes and i'm doing my own Option File for the EL for Pro Evo, FIFA is ****e, graphics in Pro are better and kits are more realistic. All i have to do now is player appearances and i'll have it done

**gufcfan** · 01/06/2007, 5:33 PM

Would love if Fifa or better still, Pro evo had el teams with kits and squads. don't think it would happen though.

How about, us lot all email EA sports or konami and lobby them to include them (if they haven't for this season, it's too late now) for next season. If they got a reasonable amount of mail they might consider it seriously...?
