    Irish Football Online has closed with immediate effect.

    I would like to thank those who have helped the site out over the last five years and without whose help this day might have come sooner.

    I would like to especially thank the following people for their help:

    * Stephen Burke
    * Declan Carey
    * Trevor Carey
    * Terry Collins
    * Niall Conway
    * Pat Costello
    * Brian Dalton
    * Ray Egan
    * Aisling Fennin
    * Paul Holland
    * Mark Lane
    * Brendan McKenna
    * Kevin Moore
    * Andy Needham
    * Phil Nolan
    * Vincent O'Connor
    * Bernard O'Neill
    * Fran Whearty

    I would like to thank the players and coaching staff at all the League of Ireland clubs for keeping things interesting over the last five years and for the most part doing their best to avoid hitting me on the sidelines.

    I would like to thank all my fellow photographers who have put up with me on the sidelines and at press conferences. Keep up the good work everyone.

    Before closing I would also like to acknowledge the good work done by Cork City, Dundalk, Finn Harps, Shelbourne, Waterford United and Wexford Youths this year with their regular team bulletins/press releases.

    Thank you and goodbye
    Tom Carey

    I'm very disappointed by this. It was my first port of call for eL news. Any idea why this has happened?

    Can see where you're coming from but I don't agree, eleven-a-side is always my first port of call regrading news updates, as well as here obviously!
    Have to say match reports were probably a bit better though.

    Very disappointed. It was only done up nicely a few months ago to a more modern style.

    That's a pity, I liked that site. Usually my first port of call for EL stuff.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Always kept up to date, unlike eleven-a-side. Hopefully extratime.ie will come to pass.

    Gutted, i had it set as my homepage and it was the best place to get info from. Always updated and reliable. I thought that it was the only dedicated LOI left that had any substance.

    The FAI wouldn't go far wrong by employing Tom to supply content for their site.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    A huge loss.
    IFO always had the best match reports - knowledgeable, fair and original, and the most reliable fixtures/tables.
    I always wondered how they managed to get it done.

    That's a real shame, it was the best no-frills Irish football site going. Stats and news invariably up-to-date and complete. Almost irreplaceable, it's perhaps asking too much of Walk The Chalk to fill the void. Does anyone know why IFO disappeared so abruptly? I doubt it was a hissy fit a la the late unlamented Sokk'urCenntrall.
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    That's terrible news.

    Massive thanks to Tom for what he did, the site will be missed in a major way.
