I've just finished making a Celtic League for FM07. It is instead of the Northern Ireland league. Ive just stuck it on holiday now to see if it properly works. If it does i'll upload the database somewhere. The Leagues are as follows.

Celtic League Premier Division
Celtic
Rangers
Aberdeen
Hearts
Hibs
Shelbourne
Cork City
Derry City
Drogheda
Linfield
Glentoran
Portadown
Wrexham
Cardiff
Swansea
TNS

Celtic League First Division
Dundee Utd
Motherwell
Kilmarnock
Inverness
St Pats Athletic
Bohemians
Waterford
Ballymena
Distillery
Crusaders
Llanelli
Rhyl

Celtic League Second Division
Dunfermline
St Mirren
Falkirk
Bray Wanderers
UCD
Longford
Coleraine
Cliftonville
Bangor City
Aberystwyth
Newport County
Truro


As well as there 3 Leagues there are 2 Celtic Cup competitions as well as some of the Northern Irish competitions which I didnt know alot about.

If your wondering why Truro are in it I wanted to have a Cornish team in the Celtic League. I was going to have a Breton and Galacian team aswell but I couldnt be bothered this time.

Ive promoted the Scottish first teams to SPL, then 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd and Non-League to 3rd so the Scottish league still works. Ive promted some Welsh Non-League teams to the LoW so that still works, the English league still works. The only one which wont work with the Celtic League is Rep of Ire.

Nice touch with Truro. I have always thought it would be good to have the Cornish Pirates playing in the Magners League.

Look forward to playing your Celtic league.

I'm still working on it at the moment, thought I had it finished but it keeps crashing at the start of January. Will have a proper look at it tomorrow.

yeah that sounds class would love a go at it.

Did you find a way of changing the rep for the N.I league?
might make it hard to compete in europe.

class idea tho

I think I have bad news:

The Northern Ireland League has an "All Ireland Cup" competition, I have a feeling that because it can't find the required teams for this competition, it is causing the game to crash.

It may be possible to do if you set up the R.Ireland and N.Ireland leagues, complete with winners, runners up, and set all teams(for all playable divs in N.Ireland and the R.Ireland prem so the game knows which teams should qualify for it) but I'd suggest finding a different league system to use, as getting it up and running might be more hassle than it's worth.

Yes I thought that it could be the All Ireland that was causing the problems. I have decided to use the Scottish league instead.

First of all, I'd use the Eircom League as it has no Relegation or Promotion from Div 1 in a similar way to the Irish League. The scottish league has promotion to and from the Highland League so in time it'll only be Scottish clubs in the lower divisions.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't swapping the clubs around simply mean that, for example, swapping Kilkenny City (ROI) with Celtic simply means that Kilkeeny is moved from Ireland to Scotland and they play in the SPL??
There should be no conflict in the All-Ireland league. I've replaced Eircom League teams with teams from Scotland, NI and Wales and replaced NI teams with Boca, River, Sao Paulo, Dallas etc, and last years final was played between River Plate and Celtic.

Wrong. There is no promotion and relegation between 3rd Division in Scotland and any other league.

Sounds good idea though mate :thup:

retired_todd

Whats the promotion/relegation system so? Thought Gratna/Inverness Caley and Ross Co etc all came up through Highland?

Well.....ya live ya learn!!!

retired_jean08

There is no promotion and relegation, those teams were brought in when they expanded the league sizes.
