    Nearly time to say goodbye to the outside world again then.
    A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes for his friends.

    Have to say i like it. Skin looks well. Bit bright but overall good. Scout and coaching reports are excellent.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but is it easy enough to import them into the game?

    Just extract to the graphics folder in the date folder or something

    Looking forward to taking over Dundalk on Friday, and Ireland, picking a squad of domestic players, maybe with the inclusion of Dunne and Given
    Thursdays are Oriel

    Just been looking at the League in-game tonight (got the full version today)

    It's an absolute total mess - worse than the debacle we had with the game last year:

    Most clubs:
    Colours and kit styles are wrong for most clubs - seem to have just taken the stuff from two season's ago and not bothered looking to update.
    Fully up to date kits for this season are on this site: http://www.colours-of-football.com/c...irl/irl05.html

    Bohemians:
    No sign of the move to a new stadium at Harristown (the stadium is present in the db - but no move is set up for it.
    Wage budget and transfer funds are the same as they were in the 07 version - despite the club signing a massive cash deal to sell off Dalymount

    Staff changes have not been made - it should be as follows:
    Chairman/President: Gerry Cuffe
    Director: Gerry Conway
    Asst Manager: Alan Caffrey
    Fitness Coach: John Daffy
    GK Coach: Gary Matthews
    Physio: Javier de Castro
    U-21 Manager: Richard Sutherland

    You can remove: Felim O'Reilly, Pat Cleary, Kevin Coll, Jimmy Jackson, Stefano Manassero and Tony Lawlor - 95% of these staff left the club mid way through March 2007

    Mike McGinley spelt incorrectly - it should be Michael McGinlay (he's the son of Bolton legend John McGinlay

    Setanta Sports Cup
    Entered clubs for the first season (Drogheda, UCD, Derry and Shelbourne) are incorrect - it should be St Patrick's Athletic, Derry City, Drogheda United and Cork City

    Continental Competition
    All clubs in the Setanta Cup are showing that as their "Continental Competition" in the Information screen - Cork City are showing as "none" when they should be in the UEFA Cup

    Bohemians
    Training facilities should be set to excellent - as they train out of the DCU complex - which is some of the best facilities in northwest Europe

    UCD
    Their move to the Belfield Bowl stadium (which is happening at the end of this season) - isn't set up to happen in game

    Athlone Town
    Athlone are still playing in St Mel's Park, despite moving to a new stadium at Lissywollen in March this year

    Limerick 37
    Home stadium is incorrect - they play at Jackman Park, not Hogan Park

    Wexford Youths
    Wexford Youths appear to be playing nowhere at all in-game, stadium is down as "Unknown" when they really play at the Wexford Football Complex in Newcastle

    Training Facilities are down as "Basic" - when they have some of the best in the country

    They only have a 10 player squad - despite there being a full sqaud playing in real life in the League

    ==========================================

    Seriously guys - we had major problems like this last year, looking at this year's effort it looks like we've gone even further backwards...

    Likewise with UCD.

    Any chance of a screenshot of UCD's squad/staff?

    Also are you doing logos and stuff for this?

    Guys - can you look through your various club's data (squads, staff, stadia, finances, colours, etc.) on the game - and let me know of any errors within.

    I've been approached by one of the guys at SI to let them know what needs correcting - and it'll be sorted for the next patch.

    Few things wrong with the harps team. Our away kit on the game is white and it is yellow with a black trim in real life. We are missing two players, sean roddy and marc brolly and we have two players in the team i have never even heard of (Shane O'Connor and Jonathan Gallagher). David Bell is in the team and he left us after last season and is with stute. And we are moving to a new stadium but there doesn't seem to be any mention of it in the game. Also our chairman is now John Campbell and not Sean Quinn. Dissapointing. Marty McCann is in it as a player/assistant manager and he doesn't even play anymore. Sean McGowan is a centre midfield player now and not a right back.

    Also i've been trying to get the logos and all in the game but i can't seem to get them in. Any help??

    James Lee-Matthews has left UCD and Greg Bolger is a centre mid. I'll send you on full details of squad/staff later on.
