    We have a private forum now Gibson so I'd say post over there. Highgiant has put up a provisional kind of team if ya want to take a look at it...

    I can't access the private forum for some reason? The Ireland Bulls one (even though I am a player!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Let your manager know and he should be able to add you to the list of players. (I think)

    I cannot believe Wasters Wanted poached our goalkeeper! you horrible b@stards :) Couldn't have waited till the off season. Facing the league leaders and one of the most prolific scorers in the game with no keeper... This my friend is an informal declaration of shenanigans upon your team. Good day to you sir

    I am sure this is going to sound really retarded but how do you mail him?? When I go to create a message it asks me to click add recipiants, but there is nothing there when I click it. It wont let me manually enter someones user name.

    Do you have to add him as a contact first? Not sure how to do that either!

    Actually if someone could just tell me if I am in the starting line up that would solve all problems, the names Niles O'Mahony.

    find his profile under your team then it'll give you an option to mail him

    My fellas name is Speedy Gonzalez. I'd say if you're goin to be online and there is a few not on, you could start. Much better than having bots. Go into the private forum and say that you are going to be online (if you are).

    I could say "No you'll be grand don't worry" but you will be ****! :D

    It's quite hard to get used to at first but within a game or two you'll start to understand the controls and that better. The main thing in this game is thinking like a proper soccer match, which is why I love it. You have to get open for passes when on the offense, position yourself correctly when defending etc. Then when your back four start to get organised you can start playing offsides and stuff. It's great fun.

    How do you know if you're starting?

    When does the team train? I didn't even know about that.:o

    Click on the Team tab and have a look at the locker room link, it shows the team that is set at that point.

    Your team training will be probably before a match on either Sundays or Wednesdays - it will appear as a link the day before (I think)

    Listen to this newbies (Well I am one as well) Don't expect it to be like Pro Evo Be a pro and you wave your arm and are getting the ball every time. If you touch the ball once you had a good game :D. Sent the gaffer a message but he hasn't replied so don't know what's happening.

    I am thinking of getting rid of my guy and signing up as SD for next season. Will have to see how things go tonight.

    What do you do on a match day? Do you have to log in a bit before kick off or how do you "enter" the game?

    The 'Next Match:' text on your character page becomes a link 5 or 10 minutes before the start of the match. You just click it and it opens a new window with the match in it.



    When playing a match, to avoid lag it's best to only have the Football Identity site open in one window and the match open in another window; no other tabs if possible. And Google Chrome is the best browser to use although I use Firefox and have never had any problems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    Only 20 minutes to go, now, so excited.:p

    Im nervous for this tonight:/ Looked over the tutorial but I'm more of a ''learn by playing'' person:s, Should be fun though! Is there ''half times?''

    Yeah the game stops for like 5 mins at half time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Great, nice little smoke break while getting constructive critisism:)

    Yeah that's not a bad idea actually. As an SD, if you get anyway decent you end up very much in demand like Garyfenton said who's by far and away the best side defender.

    Don't worry we don't care how you do tonight Eoin. We all had to start somewhere! I've put you in the starting lineup at left centre mid and we'll see about maybe moving you to the wing at some stage during the game.

    How do you get into the match screen, or will it automatically open?

    This.

    Starting on a 4-5-1. The team we're playing are way above us. Last game of the season, hopefully Wasters Wanted can cause a shock!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    Anyone on here play for SkullsofOwnage?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,820 ✭✭✭Dr.Winston O'Boogie

    Click the Character tab and at the top it should say "Next Match: Whoever" That will turn into a link in the 2 mins I think and you click that and it brings you to the match.

    Good lad Eoin. Is Eoin the only one of the new Boardsies to score on his debut?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,985 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Well we lost 2-0 but we didn't have a full team.

    Archimedes made a sparkling debut, it was between him and no.7 for MoM imo.

    We need more players guys, just let me know here if you want to join me and Archimedes at Irish Eagles FC.

    We want to make this the real SF team.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    I can see why this game is so addictive. That time flew. Would love if a few more of the regulars could join up with the Eagles, would make communication a lot easier. A couple of centre backs are needed - I had to move in to CB towards the end but playing at the back is where all the fun is at ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,820 ✭✭✭Dr.Winston O'Boogie


    Well we (Ireland Bulls) got hammered but we never stood a chance against that opposition. The league will be fairly unbalanced for a bit until everyone gets trained up, looking forward to the challenge though!

    Thought we were a lot better second half even tried to get some balls up to 19 up front. we were pegged back a lot but i thought our shape was fairly good we just got hit with their speed.

    I thought i was starting from the bench so imagine my surprise when i clicked into the match screen and i was starting hehe
