The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread

Not sure if this is the thread for it but usually on the BBC Sport Scotland football scores pages website you can click on a game and see scorers and stats.

Not today, not for a single game. Would it be too far to suggest that this is because two certain teams aren't playing?

If  Dundee and St Mirren are responsible,  we'll find  out tomorrow.

They can't be arsed adding the badges of any club in the Championship except Dundee United, probably because they already had it from last season.

Which is weird because they've had badges on previously and have them on file for the live games they show.

They seem to be updating the look of their website, and its like they can only do one bit of it at a time so half of it doesn't work.

Kinda funny if they’re just fannying about with their actual website like it’s a test environment.

I noticed that as well but it worked if you went to the main football scores page and clicked on the games from there.
You can check them out if you’ve not seen them and still want to.

Looks like the bbc sports pages have had a major revamp. Took me a wee while to understand that some pages just show the score but you can’t get the full details unless you go to a different page.

Funny sentence in this Daily Record write-up of our new owners. Think they might have forgotten there's another Dundee club. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/st-johnstone-takeover-agreed-american-32712833

 

Just along the road from Saints in Dundee, Mark Ogren's ownership of Dundee United has seen the Tangerines relegated to the Championship. They;ve finally bounced back up after winning the title under Jim Goodwin, although must wait and see if the Perth club avoid the relegation playoff spot before they can take them on in an all-American Tayside derby next season.

Of course they have all the badges for the English clubs, right down to the National League.

It makes the website look cheap. It reminds me of starting up a fresh install of Football Manager and you haven't got round to setting up the graphics pack. You also have the complete lack of consistency across the site. Similar pages like ones displaying scores/results look different depending on where on the site you are.  It feels like two or three similar, but slightly different websites forced together and its not pleasant to use as a result.

The Daily Record are in the huff with us since we pissed off, then didn't lie down to, their precious Sevco.

Might be, or alternatively they wanted to show how having an American owner isn't a guarantee of success as both Dundee clubs have seen but Utd more recently i.e.  just last season.

The dumpster fire that is the new BBC Sport website keeps on delivering.

If you click through to a match from the fixture list, then click on "Tables", it shows you the final pre-split table despite it having today's date at the top.

Yep...but if you access the table using the top menu it's the current one.

The first table you see is the 'first phrase'

Scroll down and you get the 'second phase' tables.

It's a shitshow,

I saw that but, for me, it's the wrong way around - the 2nd phase table should be the latest i.e. after 34 games and the other (1st phase)  after the 33 games.
