graveyard johnny Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 the bbc rl website - click on fixtures - up come the fixtures with the nrl "results" as well click on live scores and up come the live scores with nrl "results as well- for those of us who record nrl this is soooooo annoying - fixtures are not results and neither are live scores see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Maybe avoid clicking until you've watched the games you've recorded? Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

It used to be that results would disappear from the fixtures/live page the second the match ended. That was frustrating. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Yes, they went there. At the full time whistle. So if you were following games at different stages you had to flick between two pages. Not helpful. This way is much better.

Damien Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I've never really got the moaning about accessing RL or news websites and coming across the score to a game. I've mistakenly done it myself when browsing out of habit and just blamed myself for being a numpty, not someone else for starting a thread for example. If I really want to avoid a score I just avoid the means to access the said score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 13 hours ago, graveyard johnny said: the results I don't want to know are on the live scores page- it must be me, it realy must You're right, it is you. If the BBC didn't put the NRL scores up, people would moan. If you have recoded a game, watch it instead of surfing the BBC RL website. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
