New Bbc Sport Website

[s1dnk]

It's shit, I don't like it. Might get used to it but at the moment I don't see how it is better than the previous version.

[dazzy_deff]

Just been on now, and have to say I agree. Looks pish.

[Dynamo]

I like it.

 

Only criticism is the headlines aren't very prominent.

[Dandyjam]

I don't see why they had to change it. The previous layout worked well and looked good. Change just for the sake of change. It's pish.

[Dom Sullivan]

Yup, pish

[Bluto10]

i used to reallty like the bbs website but stopped using after their last big refresh years ago.

 

they never really have many articles or stories. it all seems to be match reports.

[buzz15afc]

dont like it... pish!!

[NorthernLights24]

I'd be interested to hear what BC makes of it with his background in web/graphic design.

 

My personal opinion is the sport home page is far, far too busy now. Too many links and other stuff on the page and there doesn't seem to be a consistent or logical layout to it.

[RUL]

Nobody likes initial change, folk even moaned about changes here! You just get used to it, I like that it's easier to switch between fixtures and league tables

[BrianFaePerth]

Yenitit fans will be creaming themselves about the colours

 

 

Edit: Actually it's no as glow in the dark.

 

 

Maybe more Hull City

[King Street Loon]

It look crap.

 

Doesn't need a whole bit about tweets on it.

[GK55]

Looks like a 10 year old set it up - awful

[Liam]

hate it.

Hated the bbc news page when it changed to a similar format. Dont use it now, always use sky. No need for change in my opinion.

[Podge]

Somebody likes the colour yellow.

 

I don't like how you have to select which league you want to view but then click update. Should be done automatically as soon as you choose from the drop-down!

[wilm1542]

I like it and the whole jaundice theme the BBC are going with

[hopeisimportant]

Wow it's yellow. It's like somebody wrote BBC Sport on the sun.

[tup]

Trying to emulate Sky Sports News.

 

Another sign of plummeting standards at the BBC.

 

I grudge every single penny of the licence fee, they produce nothing worthy of note, and they dinna even pay for football matches anymore tight, elitist, egg chasing bastards in charge is the issue.

i never expected that response from you tup.

 

 

wheres the real tup gone?

[tup]

The move towards superficiality is always a sign that some perma-tanned Robin Galloway type is in charge of the whole operation, and has decided it needs a 'facelift'.

 

i.e. make it smart graphics and lurid colours, whilst totally ignoring content.

 

All I want is words, I could not give two fucks about pictures, and I want serious words, written in stern, unyielding fashion.

 

I dinna want this vapid pish, these bastards are taking

[Bluto10]

i'm all for content, but as i said the bbc f-ball website doesnt really offer much other tahn match reports.

 

the 6 nations is very popular tup, youd realise that if you ever set foot south of dingwall,.

[The Boofon]

[minijc]

Not a fan of it atall.

[OneBeboMaguire]

It's crap, like the tables now though can quickly see all the scottish leagues

[Ke1t]

Just checked out the BBC's new Sports page... jesus christ... did they have an old copy of Microsoft Frontpage lying around?

 

Welcome to the fantastical futuristic world of 1998, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Sheeptastic]

It was fine the way it was.

 

New version very cluttered. On the plus side, I like the tables and the form stats. Be handy for betting.

[s1dnk]

I think they had to update it to the new way of making websites, html 5 or something, BC can correct me as I'm kind of guessing.

 

They also predicted high volumes of web traffic over the summer with the Olympics and Euros so it was another reason to change, I think they thought they would streamline the site. If it stays like this they wont have that issue as nobody will want to look at that awful setup!

[360]

It's shit, it was better the way it was before.

[Ke1t]

If they were worried about increased traffic because of the Olympics then they could have moved all Olympics-related news to a dedicated server, leaving the rest of the site as it is.

 

Instead they went the, 'Let's Make Our Site Look Like Shit, Boy Howdy' route.

 

They need new IT guys... I'ma send these daft fuckers my resume.

[tup]

my resume.

 

 

Curriculum Vitae.

[Bobby Connor]

It's a pretty impressive piece of web design, no doubt about that. Whether you like the look of it is a matter of personal taste and it will take a bit of getting used to as there is a shit load going on.

 

Look out for loads of copycats in the next few months. 6 column grids ahoy!

 

Also, anyone saying it harks back to 1999 has no clue what they are talking about, it uses just about every piece of modern web tech in the book.
