Thanks for the info. Wonder does CTID's eircom league update have this fixed because it is annoying?!

So I'm playing a game with Kettering at the moment, running maybe 8 leagues ot so and middway through the second season I've realised that the Scottish leagues never restarted after the first campaign. Their cups are still played out and their reserve leagues are still in operation too. Anybody else experienced anything similar. I've also noticed that in the eircome League first division Wexford Youth are apparently going to be playing in relegation playoff as the division's bottom team. What the hell?

Known bugs. Have been fixed in the patch.

As regards the 27 game season, it's not fixed in CTID's update or in the patch. Should be fixed in January.

Hopefully. The quicker the better!

As it transpired Wexford narrowly defeated DCU in a one-legged play-off affair to retain their place in the First Division...

Wexford were relegated in mine and Mullingar came up to replace them.

Can you put up the instructions for adding these kits to the game please? I have the last lot that were on a website and was able to add them but how can I add these to replace the old Cork and Bray kits? Also, if I get photos of my FM08 squad from around the net, how can I add them to the game also? Thanks for the help.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 29/12/2007, 11:38 AM

Right click on the image of the kits and save them to overwrite the original.

**GreenStar** · 29/12/2007, 5:24 PM

Yep. That works. I saved the smaller of the images. The Cork kit has disappeared though. Any ideas about the photos? How do I do that please?

**DmanDmythDledge** · 29/12/2007, 5:37 PM

If you've downloaded the kits that Derek made Cork City should be in the First Division folder.

Download this facepack for the eircom League- it should already have what you're looking for.

Excellent. 1 last question though. If I have signed an English player and his photo isn't on the game, is there a way I can do that? Sorry to be a pest.

You should be. Make sure the image is a 95px jpeg (you should be able to resize it using imageshack), then put in the correct folder;

C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Irish_FAI_Eircom_League_28\Irish FAI Eircom League 2007-08\Normal\Misc Players Staff

Then rename the image similar to the other images, eg joe_bloggs.

**GreenStar** · 29/12/2007, 7:06 PM

Ah yeah, I'm a thick when it comes to anything like that. The face pack that you sentme to downloads fine but the players photos on their profile pages are very small compared to the ones already on the game. I haven't got Image Shack so don't have a clue how to do any of that stuff. I'll just carry on without them. Thanks for your help anyway.

Do you need to be registered or something as its not letting me download saying i dont have permissions.

Edit- Got it working. That site doesnt support download managers so i had to turn it off before downloading.

For some completely illogical reason - since I've updated the game - for about 70% of all the corners taken in the game, some lunatic from the team taking the kick drifts out to the very corner of the six yard box (about 3 yards wide of the goal) and blasts a header wide every time. The commentary always reads "even the manager's got his head in his hands." It's true, I do, but only because there doesn't seem to be anyway from restraining my players' idiocy in this regard!!! Only once have I seen a goal scored from this position in the game - and fine it was glorious, and yeah it was to go 4-1 up against Cobh, and yeah maybe I danced around the room with glee for the remainder of the half...

...but seriously the rest of the time it is irksome in the extreme!!!

**DmanDmythDledge** · 09/01/2008, 8:23 PM

Same thing kept happening to me. Just go to the player instructions and change whichever on of your strikers has "stand at near post" to "attack near post".

**GenerationXI** · 09/01/2008, 9:57 PM

Thanks

**DerekMC** · 12/01/2008, 11:50 PM
