Site Awards

Since it's re-design, this site has been successful in winning acclaim from a number of respectable publications and companies:

Dot ie Best of the Web December 1999	In the December Issue, Fintino's Shels Site was nominated in the Best of the Web section. Here's what was said: "Man United. Liverpool. Bayern Munich. These football giants may well wear red jerseys, but as this site modestly puts it, there's only one real team that dons the colour - Shelbourne Football Club. Fintan O'Dowd's superbly crafted site features a soapbox for fans to vent their frustration at the FAI, non nonsense match reports and illustrated player profiles. Easy on the eye and easy to navigate, especially if you share Fintan's favourite colour. Just how easy it will be for the boys in Red to navigate their way to league success is another ball game altogether."
Eircom Website of the month August 1999	Won a years free subscription for this one...it's a competiton between all websites hosted by Eircom. There is an overall best Webpage competition soon, so hopefully we'll be in the running again.
Doras Directory 3 Doras	Fintino's Shels Site : "This comprehensive website is packed with news and opinion about Shelbourne FC. Featuring match reports, fixtures, and player profiles, the website is well maintained and concisely written. Several feature articles, a photo gallery, and a discussion forum are also provided. In addition, the website helpfully includes links to many other National League websites. This is an easily navigable and regularly updated website that serves its purpose admirably. The site is well worth a visit if you are a Shelbourne fan." I was looking for 4 doras after the re-design to be honest, but you dont' win em all :-)
Irish Times Planet Football Website of the Week 13/10/99	"Fintino's Shels Site If it's blunt, honest National League match reports you're after then this could be the site for you - eg "Shels 1-0 Drogheda. Davy Campbell in the first half, sweet strike. No help from `A N ANOTHER' the `stockin', he blocked a Geogho sitter bound for goal and send about 40 balls in to the Tolka. Sap. 3-1 to the toffee noses. Hahahaha Rovers." "Take a bow Fintan O'Dowd, the man behind this unofficial Shelbourne site which provides most of the information you'd expect to find on an official site (match reports, player profiles, fixtures, etc) but offers plenty of supporters' opinions too (there's a "National League soapbox" section), making it one of the best-run fan sites around." Thanks to Mary Hannigan who awarded this.
Local Ireland Recommended Site March 2000	FINTINO'S SHELS SITE Excellent site on Shelbourne FC. There's tons of information here, take your pick from news, fixtures, pictures and factfile, plus a whole lot more.
