The BBCs puddle of yellow piss football site

[Cheesecake]

I hate it, used to go there a lot, was on earlier looking to find upcoming fixtures in the French league gave up after finding the sum total of 4 fixtures. I'm sure the data is there, I just have no idea of where it is, jesus that site has taken intuitive and just abandoned the idea. Its become a horrific footballe site.

 

Loathe to go to Football365 so time to find an alternative. And Sky can f*** off and all.

Go to the fixtures tab (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/fixtures) and then where it says "show me" select 'European' and then in the next menu select 'French Ligue 1' and click update.

 

Some of the site is better than before but the bright yellow and the mess of the front page are awful.

The other was perfectly fine, excellent in fact, this is just ridiculous. Probably cost a fortune as well.

thanks,

i'm sure the 'my club' links are there too, I stumbled onto the LFC one earlier when I just clicked on the name in the league table. Have to say that site is not user friendly. Someone needs to go do 'Designing Websites 101' I think!

Try LiveScores its got everything and if you have a wee accumulator going you can pick your teams and it will let you know when they score too

LiveScores has a really nice smartphone app as well.

 

Though you can't check upcoming fixtures with it, just todays games.

Is that on IOS for iPhone?

If so what is it's exact name?

I can see a 'Live Scores', 'LiveScore' and 'Live Football Scores'.

[drdooom]

It's the LiveScore one.

That is usually just for UK users. I use a similar app that works fixture wise if you are an 'international' user.

like they added s*** they didn't need to add

 

now when following the updates and you have the scores for a particular competition you can choose the latest scores from every f***ing league in Europe irrespective of whether they are actually playing any games. If they aren't and you select it it just comes up blank, like restrict it to competitions where games are being played at least.

 

it's so bad

yep and checking scores in the championship then some other league takes several clicks whereas previously just a single click was required. Unser - unfriendly in the extreme. Lesson 101 in how to muck up a decent football website. Granted their bias was always reeking but at least some of the functionality offered was used. Now its just cumbersome. I found an add-on for Firefox that updates pretty much as soon as a goal is scored - was watching us v Stoke today via the stream from ITV.com and the add-on flashed up the scores within a second or two of it going in. Can get the latest scores too - 365Scores Notifier 1.1.2 - no idea if its connected to that shyte football365dotcom site or not but I suspect it isnt.
