LOI Airticity website

turbobaby

What do you guys think of the Airtricity website? Granted it looks good, but it's starting to do my head in with all the incorrect info, bad links, slow updates etc.

What company should I send my complaint to? The FAI cannot get anything right!

Should juat use extratime.ie really

ShatterProof

Complete waste of Internet space

Shows how much the FAI care about the highest level of football in the country. Shame on them.

its use of frames troubles and baffles me in equal measures

Useless site. As mentioned above, extratime.ie is the most accurate website for LOI

The way they've just ripped the Monaghan Crest out of the top banner is really amateur - you can see a dirty smudge where some cack handed clown went to work on that part of the jpg with the brush tool in Microsoft paint. So shabby.

To be fair, extratime is never going to be a particularly good website until they stop having fans of a particular team do the match reviews. Its a grand oul website in terms of the fact that there is nothing else, but on an objective basis, it isn't great.

That is incredibly unprofessional and lazy. Shocking actually.

I wonder is this done in-house by the FAI or are they paying one of their mates big bucks for it.

Extratime is far better alright.

They haven't got the money to pay professional journalists though, anyway, on match nights it's better than Errortel for scores, better than anything else for updates on a Friday evening etc.

I'd love them to do an online streaming version of what RTE Long Wave used to do on Friday evenings - one commentary match and then actual live reports as goals go in at other venues.

Or even a "Soccer Saturday" type show.

A shocking piece of work.

Go to the stats centre and it only gives one page of 12 ( all positions are "Out Field" ) players press next and nothing.

Listed as clubs Sporting Fingal and Kildare County, Monaghan UTD, Galway United and SD Galway :pac:
Go to news centre for a 404.

And from its information page updated Firday 20 Feb 2009 at 01.07

"The Airtricity League has been under the control of the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) since 2006. As such, the League benefits from the wide range of departments that exist within the FAI, including Commercial, Communications, Legal, Finance, IT and Technical."

That is appalling. I'm going to contact the FAI this evening to make a complaint. Airtricity must be pretty annoyed to be associated with such carp too.

As I said, I'm not saying the website is crap. But the match reports are very hard to take seriously.
