    Football Feeds?

    What's this forum for?
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    It was empty when you posted, but if you look again you'll see stories from the FAI and UEFA websites, imported automatically via their RSS feeds. I'd welcome suggestion for other feeds, preferably with some relation to Irish football.

    There is a BBC Northern Ireland Football Football feed which I subscribe to on my feedreader. It has plenty of Derry City news, and a good bit on the Irish League too.

    RTE and Setanta also have good feeds but I don't think you can split them up to filter all the non-football news out.

    Is it really necessary? You can always quote or show the link to a story whenever you start a new thread anyway in Worls Football / Ireland. Not sure it warranted a seperate area...

    Feckin annoying for those of us who click "New Posts" too. Would think the Blog would be a better place for these rather than the forum

    New blog if anyone's interested - http://loihistory.wordpress.com/
    LOI section on balls.ie - http://balls.ie/league-of-ireland/

    drinkfeckarse, it's not necessary, but it is a way of bringing current news to the forum, rather than relying on users to go out and look for it and bring it back.

    Dodge, I've disabled indexing of that forum, hopefully that will stop them appearing in New Posts. I could import them to the blog as just feeds, certainly, but then users wouldn't be able to comment on them.

    Either way, it's an experiment, if people generally don't like it I'll kill it.

    Nice idea. You've fixed my only problem with them!

    The forum upgrade has been pretty cool so far. That multi-post quote is manna from heaven.

    Speaking of multi qoute....how does this work? I'm assuming it does exactly what it says on the tin and lets you qoute numerous posts in one reply (something that I STILL haven't mastered) but when I click on it nothing happens.

    If you click on it for your post above this, then click the normal quote button on this post, you'll see it in action.

    Actually, it's not working in here for me either. Must be something about the support forum.

    Thumbs up

    I like the new section - you should keep it IMO

    but we all know its just a way for you to increase the post count

    Btw I cant do that multi quote thing either

    Don't like this Football Feeds section. No need for it IMHO.

    New section's a good idea, I think. Anything that keeps me off the FAI website as much as possible is always welcome!

    Maybe you could have less content, like leaving out the stuff on Estonia and the likes.
