BBC Football Website Again

[Daffy Duck]

It's really crap now. The league tables are awful, putting goal difference figures in between games played and points total, when IMO it should be at the end of the columns.

 

[Gritt23]

I find it horrible to navigate around. Really don't like it at all.

 

[Easy 10]

Complete mess. They've totally f***ed it up, the IDIOTS.

 

[Mellotron]

Absolutely ruined a perfectly good site.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

And there was me thinking it was just me hating it !!!!

A six year old could have designed a better layout. Very noticeable they've only changed the sports pages and not the news ones - I wonder why

 

[Tricky Dicky]

They don't seem to understand that a football fan is interested in all the leagues. When I wonder to myself "was there any footie last night" or "is there any football on tonight" I don't want to be clicking a drop-down menu for each league.

Exactly what I was saying, above.

I'm fed up of using it but is there a really quick and easy alternative people can recommend? All I want is fixtures and results
at a glance

Flash Scores: Live Football Scores, Latest Football Results Works for me.

Sorry, but if you can't find the fixtures or the tables I can assure you the problem is with you NOT the site. There is no doubt that, if anything, finding these things is easier now than it was on the old site.

The site is MUCH better now with some nice new features thrown in too. Sure there are problems, but it's a new launch and they'll get ironed out.

 

[Lush]

I don't want to have to FIND things. I want the site to lead me by the hand to them. At the moment, unless you're in the Premiership, it's really difficult. I must have been on at least 20 times since it changed, waiting for the penny to drop about how to use it better and it still hasn't.

 

[We're the Stripes]

My biggest gripe is that when you go to view a team/divisions's results, it no longer lists the scorers, cards, attendance etc of each match, as it had done for YEARS. It was so simple to scroll down and see that X player had scored X amount of goals in his last X matches. Now you have to go through each... indvidual... match report... which becomes an absolute nightmare.

Desperately hoping that's one of the issues they're looking to iron out.

The sheer number of people on here that are suggesting that they have problems clearly show that this is not true. I'm not saying we're a representative demographic, but clearly a number of people are having issues, and that suggests it's much more likely to be a design issue that a user issue, especially as we're over 3 weeks into the new site.

I suspect (although this is based on nothing more than a gut feeling) that it may well be (on average) the younger users that find the new site better and the older users that don't. Ironically enough I'd probably be considered to be a 'younger' user (at 27) but I strongly dislike the new site. They've crammed lots of colour and interactivity into it but I don't use any other website that throws stuff together in such a haphazard way.

I like it now that I have got used to it. Much like when my girlfriend gets a new haircut I am a bit iffy at first but once I get used to it and really she is still the same sexy beast she was the day before it is fine

But can you find out where she's playing tonight?

If you purely want results/fixtures and other such info without any 'news' use http://www.soccerway.com/

Personally think its the best website for football stats

 

[brunswick]

i am a sportinglife.com fan - the bbc site is too heavy and clunky - sporting life rocks it.....live tables, vidiprinter, super quick updates, matchday live, betting tips, etc etc.

We know who you work for now.

I do indeed, and she knows what the score is!

 

[severnside gull]

You're doing something wrong. It's on the right of the page, in fact the football results are actually on the main sport page now which I don't believe they were before.

I think you are wrong and the OP is right - you now have to know which league games were played in and then update that specific competition. If I want to know who is playing tonight I now have to go through every league to find out - the drop down menu used to pre-select only those where games were being played but no longer does so.

It is way way more clumsy and less helpful than it was and I regularly tweet them on football, cricket and rugby hashtags to that effect - strangely they never publish the criticism.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Clearly not true, judging by the number of replies on here. They are all there, but not easy to find quickly.

 

[severnside gull]

that's EXACTLY the problem - they should have been ironed out BEFORE the site was launched


pushing incomplete tat on customers is something that only computer programmers and marketing no accounts could find acceptable.
I used to work in catering but I never threw the ingredients onto a plate and told the punter I would get round to cooking them later
