Football Feeds

I don't know - the small stuff's just as interesting, I think. Especially if a Faroe Islands update comes along!

Good form info for the foot.ie Euro 2008 predictions league too.

It's all or nothing unfortunately. in UEFA's case it seems to be more than that, I reckon their feed is badly developed because the forum is pulling in dupes. If it continues, I'll delete the feed.

Thanks for those tomsoc. I've added the RTE and BBC ones for the moment.

Yeah some have been posted twice.

Very very little of the UEFA stuff (if any?) is Irish related anyway. Oha dn they're still being indexed

I don't mind the section as long they don't appear when i click New Posts.

Actually, I'm kind of getting used to that. I just skim them, and a few are interesting.

If you'd like to get New Posts without threads from the Feeds forum, bookmark the URL below. I'll post a poll on the default action in a couple weeks, if someone reminds me.

http://foot.ie/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=90

(You can exclude other forums by adding other forum id's there, separated by commas. Alternatively, you can only search a subset of forums by changing 'exclude' to 'include'.)

Anything to drop Football Feeds from New Posts will be welcome as is a major hassle in the morning getting through all the pages.

Right-click on it and click Add to Favorites (in Internet Explorer) or Bookmark This Link (in Firefox / Netscape / Mozilla). Don't ask me about other browsers, I don't use 'em.

My solution was to go into the Football Feeds forum and click Forum Tools and Mark This Forum Read which got rid of them all from the New Posts list.

Does the Football feeds kill discussion in the World Football thread. Seems that there not as many news topics created in relation to world football in the last few days. Maby I am wrong just an observation

**dahamsta** · 11/08/2006, 5:33 PM

Feed can be pushed into relevant forums, but in some examples that's going to be a pain in the arse; for example the FAI feed will have some eL stories and some Ireland stories. I was thinking of moving them into appropriate forums, but that'd be a full time job. One way around it would be for people to ask for relevant threads to be moved somewhere, just by posting in the thread and saying "Move this to [eL/WF/etc]", but how do we get the word out about that?

Isn't there a forum announcement thingimy?

Anyway, if the mods (or at least those with appropriate permissions) just keep an eye on the feeds forum, they can have a look at anything that has a reply to it. If no one replies to a feed, leave it be.
