footy alerts

[angiepea]

Ah well ..... the season kicks off again tomorrow, and i have signed up to receive orange goal alerts to my phone.

How do you all get yours ? Is there a cheaper way ??

if you can find a reliable rss feed somebody could knock up a widget i'm sure

CHELSEA!!

I downloaded that footy app from Ovi... at the moment its useless with updates for US "soccer" teams...

but am hoping that once the Premiership kicks off it will become more active and show results.

[angiepea]

hey london, is that the reuters one ?

won't you get ALL the footy results with that ?

my team is now in the championship AGAIN !!! still - we're used to it

up the baggies

[eccleshill]

Heck - I've picked the Baggies to win the Championship in the office pool/lottery! Would win a few bob if they do it...

And I've got Chelsea for the Premiership - spooky.

(for completion: Charlton for league one; Crewe for league two)

I feel for ya angiepea, my team's gone down to the championship too after something like 11 years at the top. Still, it was inevitable it would happen some day, the way they've been playing (Boro).

Anyway getting back on topic, I hadn't thought of a feed or widget to follow my team's progress. Not a bad idea, that.

[EDIT] skysports.com have individual news feeds for each of the football teams, but they're not goal-by-goal feeds. I'll keep looking as this could be handy...

that would be fab zxon, i'm a bit rubbish when it comes to looking for rss feeds let alone widgets - and as for having any clue on creating widgets ....... well ....

i tend to look for things that say "this will give you your football goal alerts ange, stick it in your phone" - you know, something pretty obvious like that

i do however, know how many demi semi quavers there are in a dotted crotchet ..... if anyone wants to know
