the active image is incorrect, it’s the gold cup.

the image submitted by @IgorTMT is correct.

@Footygamer has the website expired?

it redirects to https://classicfootballmanager.com/

@mons this is not the bundesliga ref stefan ebner, but someone else – needs to be deactivated. uploading the correct image in a bit.

all good, happy holidays!

eintracht, beste! 100%

i don’t disagree, i’d appreciate it wherever it is easier or possible to implement.

@Footygamer i wanted to ask you for a feature implementation, provided it is feasible - and give you some background info beforehand:

i research match officials / referees and their ids currently, in order to source portraits for them.

as an example, i pick a certain country and then go through all the competitions to see which referees are listed and which ones are missing portraits, like so:

germany - bundesliga:

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/272

the officials for the competition are listed underneath the participating clubs.

the problem arises when there are officials who have not been assigned to any competitions, like in these two cases:

zambia - premier league:

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/728

there are no officials listed. however, if i enter either the name diana chikotesha or her id 2000291847, i get a hit, including a portrait. she is listed with no competitions (she’s an active fifa, caf and pl referee).

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/1613152/timeline

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager/official/2000291847/diana-chikotesha

andorra - first division:

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/1401

only mário daniel ribeiro novo (id 95080046) is listed for any of the andorran competitions, but there are eight andorran match officials in the database - i’ll add two for demonstration purposes:

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/1345207/timeline

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager/official/95059519/luis-miguel-do-nascimiento-teixeira

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/1347776/timeline

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager/official/95059523/marta-san-juan-casado

is it possible to add a search option for referees by nation in order to show all the referees included in the database, say i want to see all mexican or zambian referees, even if they are not linked to any competitions? a user told me that there is a total of 300+ mexican referees alone, to give you an idea.

genie scout does not have the same search option for officials as it has for players and staff, unfortunately, which means that i cannot extract the ids and instead have to rely on combining the portrait browser and fmref, but it’s impossible to close gaps that way when it’s based on guessing the names.

excellent result! no more dandruff. XD

from his fb profile - the picture is not clickable, hence the small size.

alternatively, an older one (2017), and not frontal. however, the resolution is bigger.

cheers.

just to clarify, i think i have worded it a bit awkwardly: ivo šušak’s id is 650053 and from what i could see on the site, he is not in the fm24 edition (šušak’s correct picture is viewable here on the site when you enter his id in the search mask). they look similar, so maybe that’s where the confusion came from.

gabrijelić seems to be retired, he received an award for longstanding service to the club earlier this year.

@mons, this needs to be deactivated/removed.

the picture is of ivan »ivo« šušak, former board member of dinamo. he was in the db with the id 650053 (picture included).

very nice writeup. i've been around for 17 years, time flies! 😂👍🏿

@bakizp the active logo is of a club from haiti, not from cameroon - it last played in the second haitian division.

logo needs to be deactivated/removed.

wrong logo - year is wrong.

this is kridens meta, not proletar puto. image needs to be deactivated.

proletar puto’s facebook profile:

the inside of the shield is white, not transparent. this should be corrected.

for some reason, this hasn’t been posted in the thread yet:

update 2024.12 is now live and ready to be downloaded.

that is generally possible, they have different naming conventions, as the history pack is not included in the official/default database, but is a custom numbering.

i think i’ve tracked it down – »great britain« (id 145174) in the database lists army regiments only as »teams«:

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2024/nation/145174/great-britain#staff

this means it’s actually the army fa, so not a nation/country per se:

https://www.armyfa.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Football_Association

not sure why si games included army football, to be honest …

the »teams« listed under great britain are all army regiments:

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2024/nation/145174/great-britain#staff

active logo is from 2016 and outdated (there has been another logo from 2017 to 2023).

cheers 👍

@mons add-on to my comment above regarding

from

"NATION_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 145174 "The Kingdom of Great Britain" "English"

to

"NATION_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 145174 "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" "English"

i have looked more into it, and it’s possible that it refers to »The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland« - before the southern part became independent in 1922:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Free_State

it existed from 1801 to 1922 and would coincide with the database entry for Ireland before 1922 (game id 52024163).

since i don’t play the game, i can’t check which of the two entries for great britain (game ids 145174 and 219003) is »newer« - are there any honors/results listed with extinct nations at all? if yes, that would be a good indicator, otherwise it’s guesswork. not super important, but my ocd wouldn’t let me rest if i didn’t mention it.

the kingdom of great britain ceased to exist in 1800 (merged into the united kingdom), some 50 years before association football as a sport was invented/regulated. for some reason, britain is included twice in the database, like micronesia.

union of burma was the official name (long name) before the 1962 coup d’état. short name is just burma, as in the default database.

team logo is wrong.

correct logo is this:

team logo is wrong - this is the correct logo (official kit manufacturer link):

valmir looks quite distorted. i suggest using this one instead:

alternatively, front view (but very blurry)

no worries, i’ll just let you know if and when i find something else, cheers. 😀
