It's a bug in the flash viewer, for some reason it's not reloading the data consistently.
I have it all the time, I'm glad it's happened to someone else.
Well, not really glad in the broad sense but I now know it's not just my box that's playing up.

Now that I think of it, it worked at home last game - this time I was watching at work. Both were on Firefox, same version, but maybe the Flash version were different. Not sure.

The most recent commentary is pulled from the server every 45 seconds. For some reason, this works fine on some occasions and on others it does it maybe 6 or 7 times perfectly and then decides it can't be bothered any more. It's proving hard to track down, but I know the symptoms, I just need the vaccination.

EDIT: I've tried it with various versions of flash and various browsers. Same problem every time for me. I'll keep looking.

I think I've tracked this one down. I need a consult though. Solution pending.

I think this is fixed now. We'll have to wait for the lives games to see if it's still causing problems.

I've also added a little tooltip type popup to the shot symbols, so you can now see who fudged which chances from where. Thanks to Tattoro for the idea.

I was checking out the USA games and found the same - it's no better. My game in the German league ran fine for me for the first time ever this evening so I thought I'd cracked it. But no.

Back to the drawing board I guess. You're going to have to bear with me on this.

It wasn't something that happened a lot, maybe 2-3 times in the first half for me and none at all the second. Didn't bother me too much to just refresh.

It worked fine for me today, however the Box Score is still showing the game as going on...

Which is why the problem is proving such a nightmare to find. I can't reproduce it universally.
In theory it should work perfectly and scream out an error when it stalls.. but it doesn't, it dies quietly.

however the Box Score is still showing the game as going on...


That's probably a server updating issue, Charles has more knowledge of that area.

It's not that much bother to refresh, but it tends to happen at awkward moments. Scores tied and your team has the ball. After you realise it's frozen and you refresh the game you've missed the posession. It needs to be fixed.
