A decade ago today...

[Foxy]

Having had a Blades based email service and a few incarnations of a news site up and running for a while, this day 10 years ago, I registered sheff-utd.co.uk and started working on a newer main site and forum in our original branding

It's scary how time ticks on!

Thanks for using the place and ensuring I wasn't just messing about for nothing

 

[SotonBlade]

Is this kind of a Happy Birthday moment then?

 

[Linz]

As for the forum as it presently stands, we missed its 8th birthday a couple of weeks ago.

It was born 3rd August 2005.

Which begs the question, is changing the appearance of the site like performing plastic surgery on a 5 year old???

Isn`t it about time we have a new look and feel Foxy ?? I've just about got used to this one now...

 

[Large Mendonca]

On my birthday too thanks peeps !

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I joined in 2005, just before things altered. My presence was to be the catalyst for change!

It used to be shite, but now it's alright......

Met some nice people, and Sooty, over the past couple of years. For that alone, ta.

To put it in context, this match was shortly before:

And everything has gone downhill since. Big thanks to Linz and Foxy for fucking up our football club...

Schoolboy error there Selly! 12 of our months equates to 10 geek years!

Funny you should say that...

Does he change the colour of the walls in the house every week Linz?

No, because decorating is my department. He still hasn't put the pictures up in his office that he painted 18 months ago.

Does Presty know he's moving in on his turf? There's only one way to resolve this...

 

[raul]

I'd like to watch that actually.

"Arrgh!, mind my arm, I broke it and it still gets really sore...."

"Oohyah! watch my knee, I hurt it playing football and it still smarts....."

 

[FleaPitBlade]

I'm a lover not a fighter.

You still haven't set me to work on the past results database....

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Didn't know this site was that old hopefully plenty of more happy years still to go.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

You still haven't set me to work on the past results database....

Have you got them all in an excel file?

 

[Darren]

Have you got them all in an excel file?

Sorry, I don't speak geek

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Sorry, I don't speak geek

Is the data all in your head?

I wish I had access to the BU thread where we attempted to prise some project requirements out of you for this, and come up with some meaningful architecture for it

We're nearly there , just finishing up on the first revision of a responsive design and the feature improvements previously mentioned - it won't take me long to build a quick spec. for you to populate.

and come up with some meaningful architecture for it

It drops more or less straight into the PRS

You're a bit late for that unless you've got any enhancement idea's I haven't already thought of

No its all written down on paper.

 

[Darren]

No its all written down on paper.

Basically I've got it all written down. I know as much about the basics of computing and excel whatnots and such like shit as your average five year old does about DVP. As Defoe said about the Englishman's attitude to popery I don't know whether an excel file is man or horse.

So if someone wants to guide me in words of one syllable as to wht to do to get the info I have on this site, that would be nice.

How smart is this going to be?

Wil it separate MK Dons and Wimbledon as two teams or 1??
If Darren types "Tottenham" in one result and "Totenham" in another, will it see them as the same team?I think you need some drop down lists here...

Might I suggest as a starting point the following data attributes (not complete):

Competition
Date
Venue
Home Team
Away Team
Score (possibly 2 attributes for Home and away, possibly 2 occs if we want to record FT and AET scores, possibly 3 occs if we want HT, FT and AET scores)
Scorer name
Scorer time
Scorer penalty indicator
Extra Time Indicator
Penalty Win Indicator (i.e. Home or Away team)

which will need normalising, and a shed load of other details (such as date ranges for specific competitions, tier details for competitions, date ranges for mangerial stints etc etc)
