Hey Fellas.
Found a download on my netbook yesterday of the updated pundit-file that was released some time ago (I have no idea when) and I thought it might be a good time to try and update it once more. I looked at the most recent pundit-file and saw that a lot of mistakes were made.
There are two ways to do this:
- Start from scratch
- Continue with the latest pundit
I'd like people who are finnish to be in charge of all finnish media, and people who are italian to be in charge of all italian media and so on.
Discuss and help out
Want to help out but can't spare 1hr?
Help us out by writing down some media names from your country and what they cover (a specific league or team or a national team)
This is what we need:
Daily National papers
LOCAL radio stations
Sunday papers
National radio stations
National TV stations
Local TV stations
Websites
Daily Newspapers
Magazines
Example of how to do this:
"Hey swede, u can add Aftonbladet to the pundit as a national newspaper (Sweden) that covers both swedish premier division and first division".

What mistakes are there?
Lots of errors for swedish media, either radio stations that has never existed or doesn't exist anymore, magazines that don't write about particular teams, magazines that don't cover sports etc. I'm guessing that there are mistakes in other parts of the world aswell - also I'm quite positive that english-speaking countries and their media probably needs to be "refreshed".
never looked into that file, good idea mate![]()
I've never looked either.
The one on the database I am currently using only had English and Scottish clubs.
Just downloaded one from here though which has all countries.
I don't think starting again would be the way to go.
Way too much of an undertaking I'd say.
I can give info on some teams but wouldn't be able to over the whole of England I wouldn't think!
Great idea though. Another fresh lease of life for the game.
Question: Does the FM series not use a pundit file? I've had a quick google search but can't find one. I'll keep looking or does anyone have a relatively new FM that they can have a look in?
Cant see that FM has one called Pundit, am sure it does, just finding which one I guess
Yeah. I'm sure it's somewhere. I don't hve any FM on this computer so can't help with the search.
It was all edt files and the like by the looks of it.
Glad to see that people are interested in helping out! I understand that we need at least 5 gents to somewhat cover Britain, the rest of the countries should be a bit simpler. I'll show my progress in this thread and then whoever wants to help out can just add info as we go along.
Here is the latest pundit-file:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/fhn2cy
The first thing I will do is add "Sportbladet", "Dagens Nyheter", "Svenska Dagbladet", "Expressen" and "Svenska Dagbladet" as magazines that cover all the action in the premier division and the 1st division in Sweden. I will post that up tomorrow for everyone to see.
Will have the Irish ones updated in a few minutes
![]()
do we just wanna share the latest version all the time?
say you download swedes version, update the irish stuff, then i download your version, update the german stuff etc...
That was the plan anyhow Pat![]()
coolio, i wasnt sure
Added all the Irish stuff - and World Soccer Magazine to almost every nation.
Couple of points -
-I've added a little logbook.txt file - just to add username and what country is done
- Must use LONG NAME of club, short name no good. Has to match database.
Should we put a check in? Have done below, could be handy.

Next check: # "0" "wexfordyouthsfc.ie columnist" "WEBSITE" "Wexford Youths" "Republic of Ireland"
Awesome!
I don't understand this well enough to help, unfortunately, but I appreciate the work that's going into it KUTGW![]()
Could someone explain what this pundit is? I read all posts but i didn't understand!
What happens to clubs with outdated names compared to the updates?
As derm said, as long as the long name is correct it should b ok, I think??
Indeed Fods. Nothing happens as such KDS - thats it nothing - the teams are just ignored. The club names will need an update but I doubt many of the club long names have changed much.
To update all club names of a club in Notepad in one go, do this:
- go to Edit
- Select Replace
- type (or copy and paste) the incorrect version on the long name of the club into the Find What field
- type the correct long name (as per ODB Mar 2012 database) into the Replace With field
- press Replace All
Gotta be really careful with repeat or shortnames using the above method i.e. changing Dinamo to Dynamo Test will turn all the clubs with Dinamo as there old name into something like Dynamo Test Kiev or Dynamo Test Zagreb etc.

Keep thinking the thread is called poundit.
She's on Soccer AM at the minute, reliving being a Soccerette from 12 years ago!!
Ooooh, can we please get the Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter, Helensburgh Advertiser & the Lennox Herald added for the Sons of the Rock to the pundit file.
Thanks Cam.
