AFL website - no live scores

[Dry Rot]

an absolute joke of a website

It's actually a lot worse than what's been posted here.

When the AFL whored its websites to Telstra, it also whored the online radio calls. So if you are interstate and say wish to listen to Pies v Tigers today, you need to first launch Match Centre to gain access to the radio links.

Utterly ridiculous situation.

No footywire stats.

I need stats stat!!!

Footy live app still working, about the only thing that is

Really? The Sportsmate one?

I tried to contact the AFL via its "feedback" link on its website but got a "page cannot be displayed". then tried Twitter - ditto.
Woeful.

I really wish a journalist would take them up on it.

 

[Forward Press]

The match centre for Richmond v Collingwood is working.

No, not the scores, just the live TAB odds.

Welcome to the brave new world of Tom Waterhouse and co.

I'm just tweeting the journos direct about it, hopefully get something.

Afl app doesn't work either and they want you to pay $90 a year for their service. Absolute joke, don't know what the current scores are or who's playing this minute.

 

[Roooooos]

i sure vlad would say that it somehow our fault for trying to use the site as the reason that its crashed.

I would normally immediately move this thread to Fourth Estate board, but the issue deserves a wider audience.

It's ****ing disgrace. ****ing amateur hour.

How, with all the money involved, and with Australia's premier sorting code, a half decent website cannot be built and run is beyond me.

It's not hard. And the shitful ****ing service they dish up is appalling.

 

[dymot]

Match score through match centre is saying 0 all. ****ing disgrace. I'm using here as an alternative score source.

And it's not like it's hard either - every single other sporting code and site manages to do it fine.

The only ones that aren't right now are the ones relying on the AFL site.

I guess this meets the standards of competence exhibited by the AFL.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Hopelessly unreliable. I will be canceling my subscription.

You'd think that paying $90 a year for a video stream, they'd have it working, hasn't worked since the start of the 3rd quarter, bloody rediculous

 

[LeverPuller]

Got a response from the AFL - 'our techs are on it'.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Response from the AFL via twitter:

Telstra tell me there are some system delays. Working to get them rectified.

Response in regards to the question of a refund for AFL Live users

That would be a question for @Telstra.

Not for me.

The interface for the AFL live mobile app is generally ok, loads most times, but the stream drops our or glitches soooooo much. The app on my tablet though which uses the wifi is almost unusable.

Often takes 10 or so minutes of reloading, refreshing etc., to get a watch live now link to appear and once I do, the stream is no guarantee of starting. I don't dare to click "done" and skip out of the video, because there is little chance of getting it back. The live interfact is always ****ed. Not updated, or that orange error msg with no matches appearing,or just half loaded nonsense with random missing scores, teams etc.

Pretty shocked tbh.

Not talking the AFL one, the Sportsmate one.

Afl app is working again, in about 10 second spurts.

Ah cool, may check it out for scores and such.
