PA Live Scores cancelled

[Chris FGR]

Who exactly at the clubs are responsible for the texting as of yet remains to be seen... One of the subs? Mascot? The person who takes the tops off your bottles of Fanta?

Hopefully someone who can spell players names (which rules out one of the subs).

And has Autocorrect turned off.

 

[John Still]

No surprise given the Forest Green Rovers have won the title already.....

 

[Kim Mitten]

IIRC FWP is done by fans at games who have accounts with the service

You are right, I think they just copy a PA website for league football as their vidiprinter is about 10 seconds behind the likes of Sky and BBC, but otherwise they use people at games. They are always on the lookout for both Southern League and Northern League representatives as they lack those. Pretty much every Isthmian league team has someone sending in updates, FWP is a great scores service if you follow Isthmian in particular.

 

[Paddy]

Aye. It's created & run by a Kingstonian fan. Probably explains it's large footprint in the Isthmian.

So as rumoured the national league is not showing on BBC sport site under the live scores page

What will people be using today to keep track then?

It is.

Underneath the Olympic Football option.

BBC aren't starting their rival show to Soccer Saturday until next week, bit poor of them.

Is that a picture of ChrisFGR?

Flash scores still has live National League updates, including goal scorers and bookings.

 

[iesty wfc]

BBC sport does actually have the scores now. But is updating scores And subs only

 

[Jemfy]

Fotmob has live scores too.

Idle curiosity makes me wonder where these scores are coming from if there are no PA people at the games. Unless the reduced service means that someone operates the press association system from the club for the purposes of scores and subs only? It would make sense to me anyway.

Maybe we've all gone a bit storm-in-a-teacup and the only things this will really mean an end to is official assist/corner/possession etc stats?

 

[Davidimp]

Had Soccer Saturday on and the scores coming through for our game was maybe a bit slower but they still had them on so all good.

 

[Luke Imp]

App wise, I used Futbol24, but Flashscores was still working apparently.

Sky Sports Centre and BBC were only doing HT and FT.

 

[Gladders]

Flashscores worked fine, Soccer Saturday had majority of scores not long after Flashscores, only one that seemed delayed was Tranmeres first goal, wasn't on Soccer Saturday till about 30 mins in.

The Sky Sports Centre app was doing updates during the games as proved by the helpful notifications when Lincoln scored.

 

[Harrier94]

Fotmob worked for me yesterday with both The Conference and North/South throughout the games.

That explains that, then. Saw they had scored and nothing came through.

As above, I saw Tranmere had scored and waited for a bit and nothing updated so I assumed it wasn't working.

 

[FrankTheTank]

Heard the classified scores on BBC 5Live on the way back from the game on Saturday "Tranmere 1, Eastleigh 1".
Wonder how bookies are dealing with this when people cash out.

 

[LeWhites]

Seen a fair bit on Twitter about the National League North table and results being completely wrong on Sky and BBC. Sky also misspelling the names of teams - really is piss poor and actually disrespectful

According to an app on my phone we're 7th, seen plenty of other sites saying we're 8th. The BPA v Curzon game finished 4-4 but loads of places have it down as 4-3 to BPA. No idea what's going on.

They're relying on clubs now, so the accuracy is a bit dodgy.

Yep Sky had it down as BPA 4 - 3 "Cuarzon Ashton"

 

[Luke Imp]

That have (or had - I've not checked) Boston as scoring 0 and conceding 3 in the league table after Saturdays game.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Another error last night from SKy Sport as they incorrectly put down Brackley 2-2 Alfreton Instead of 3-2 to Alfreton.

Unless someone can prove it beyond doubt, which given the two clubs involved is unlikely given there wouldn't have been anyone watching, I say Sky's table should remain as it is.

People are going to try and pull fast ones and claim they won when they didn't, hopefully Alfreton don't get away with this. Points deduction?

 

[Sparrow]

Why are Alfreton trying to claim that they won when they clearly drew 2-2?
