    Irish Abroad - The Site!

    Since the end of last season I've been working on the data gathered from the Irish Abroad thread, and it's more or less ready to go.
    But before it does, I need some feedback.
    You can check the work to date out here: http://www.chatsoccer.net:8080/irishabroad/

    A few people have had a look at it so far, and I'll be adding in their suggestions over the next few days
    Some of the suggestions include
    • full domain name - this is in progress
    • splash page - in progress
    • RSS Feed - planned
    • top 5 scorers, booked players, etc list - planned
    • search box - probably not, unless there's a massive demand

    I know some of the pages are slow to load, and we're going to work on that in the near future, at the moment we're only looking for feedback on the look and feel of the site, as well as any further suggestions for statistics we can add. Also if you notice any players listed at the wrong club, please inform me and I'll update it immediately

    At the moment the site is filled with data from the 2006/2007 season, but from this weekend on it will be replaced with data from the new season

    For the technically minded the site is a collection of XQuery scripts running on an XML document, but we hope to convert to JSP + J2EE Servlet + MySQL backend in time to improve the speed

    Good site

    You say you are going to replace with new season stats, are you still going to make 2006/7 available too? It would be good to be able to see either by season or all matches since start of 2006.

    Any chance of putting in International Details, e.g. Caps?

    An ability to search by e.g. number of apperances, club played for or position would also be good.

    I'm actually almost finished a wetpaint site which will have all that info. Tets site is very good though and a lot more in-depth. I'm hoping the wetpaint site will expand to contain a load of info on Irish international football. I started it months ago and have worked on it for about 3 or 4 days.

    Probably, but not until after we make the switch from XML to SQL, XML is far too slow to handle that amount of data

    Sure, added to the list of things to do

    Club Played for comes under the Team Details or Competition Details tabs, take your pick
    Positions comes under Postition Details

    already there
    Click Player Details -> Season Details
    Goals are listed under Starting Substitute Statistics
    e.g. Robbie Keane: http://www.chatsoccer.net:8080/irish...playerID=11957
    1 goal at home, and 1 away from home after coming off the bench

    Will do, it'll start with Mr Punch deciding he wants some sausages, but the only way he'll be able to get some is to steal them using XML, Kawa and XQuery....

    Jaysus. My wetpaint site might get 2 or 3 hits this year. I'll see how it goes for a few months anyway but I think the only thing I'll have of interest now is assist stats. That's just one stat I'd like to know but it means I have to go through most English match reports.

    Names are not meant to match and really have nothing to do with the photo.
