I'm sorry I need to start a new discussion, but you didn't give us a chance to reply on the thread.

The vast majority of people playing the Spanish league are not having the problem, because they take note of the news item that gives you the date that the registration is done, and look at their news items (you are taken to the newsscreen on this day on every test I've done on the issue). If you miss the news item, you are either not paying attention (a bit like not looking when an alien shoots you in an FPS), or on holiday.
The thing is that I've been paying attention to the news items and responded when needed, but the registration just isn't working. The problem isn't people missing the news item. At least not in all cases.

I'm not calling for an emergency patch, but just want to make sure that this will eventually be fixed and not just dismissed as an user error.

I completely agree with LSS. Spain is totally not playable. Simply denying the truth will not make it go away.

What???
I'd rather have the silence! Denying the issue is even worst.
Even if you attend news item players will still become unregistered, at least in B team.
SI has now disapointed me completly.

Speaking from a totally neutral point of view, that is a little bizarre there, blaming the user.
Very odd...

Additionally I thought the rules were that players under 23 could be played in the first team if you were short, through injuries etc, but it appears that they can only be played if they are in the youth squad and not the reserve squad.

Is this how it should be?

If so it misled me as I expected any player under 23 in my B team to be available for the first team as cover so I didn't register good under 23s in my first team squad on this basis.

I must be in the minority here, because I have never had an issue with the Spanish Leagues. Come registration day, I register and that's that.

You might be in the majority for all we know, but still the problem exists for many users.

Sorry but that is a ridiculous thing to say. The registration problem is a SI fault and should not be part of the game and/or a burden on the game player. Getting shot in a FPS is part of the game and should be included.

Miles your response to this problem is quite shocking to be honest. Most of SI's attitude to peoples probelms or 'moans' as they are now known is shocking actually. All we get is 'we're working hard' or 'put up with it and it will all be okay when we release a new patch'.

Fact is a broken game whether it is broken to one user or all should not be released. Skip FM 2008 and bring out a 100% competent FM 2009.

There’s also the issue of b-teams unregistering even when you do confirm the squad numbers. There was a go on holiday work around for this which has only worked once for me.

So disappointing that all this won’t apparently be fixed now until the end of February. It was brought to SI’s attention as a bug before 8.01...
