Can anyone recommend an app for live football scores for android?

[butters]

Try some of these - the problem will be finding one that covers the Championship probably.

[Adam Lincoln]

After City win 5-0 of course..

Unlucky, but a great game... Apart from the dives and acting from a few City players.

Been looking into this a bit more and the following do Championship at least:

Push Football Scores Lite - looks like a decent app and has been recently updated to cover Championship teams at least. Also uses the push function which it would seem uses up less data\power.

Live Scores Football (soccer) - a bit more advanced than the above by the looks of it - covers in game betting and the like but seems to require a constant connection as far as I can tell.

Go Score - like the above and also covers just about every sport that you could wish to see by the looks of it. Used a couple of their other apps (Go Contacts and Go SMS Pro) and really rate them.

Haven't tried either yet but will look at the top one tonight and update accordingly on how good\bad\plain annoying it is.

Cheers butters
for my i touch I have the sky sports one  which is pretty good but sadly they do not do it for android.

I will check some of them out.

I have never enjoyed an opening day of the season as much as Saturday. From Football Focus live from the Amex (complete with Des doing a brief history of the club and me blubbing like a girl) to finding a live stream for the Brighton game to the game itself. Just amazing.

Shit referee, Poyet sent off, miss a few sitters, concede scrappy goal. Miss more chances, bring on Buckley, scores great equaliser on his debut, then 7 minutes into stoppage time......



My live stream dropped just as we got into injury time but Jeff Stelling was on hand to send me and the sprog jumping round the living room. Can't imagine what it must have been like to be there but getting to watch it live was the next best thing (thank you Fox Sports+ & Twitter).

14 years on, the shadow of Archer well and truly banished. You actually couldn't have made it up.

The better team on the day won. That second goal for Man U was perfect 1 or 2 touch football. Just passed the way through the city defense and the third goal it looks like kompany got a late call off of the other guy running back. Just proves the phrase "don't let it bounce"
I still get the feeling United would of won on pens, buts its a lottery so who knows.

We still only have 8 teams in the league so get your acts together and join up!

[tomtom]

Ok ok .....

[Falling Down]

The better team on the day won.

I agree.  City were very poor apart from the ten minute spell where we got the goals.  It's clear that Yaya needs to be match fit to add anything to a game.  Utd looked very tight and well drilled, Ashley Young will be great for them this season.  I cant believe we took our eyes off the game and allowed yet another dying seconds of injury time Utd winner in  in fact I'm sure there's a post of mine after Rooney's injury time Carling Cup winner saying we can't let that happen again.

I think we might have nicked it on pens but that's football.  Adam Lincoln you should join in on here  more often, we won't bite.... Much  .

Shocking 0:2 loss to Macclesfield at the kc tonight.. 9 players from Friday rested..

Shocking 0:2 loss to Macclesfield at the kc tonight.. 9 players from Friday rested..

Am sure at the end of the season if you go up this will not be an issue ... however this season your fans have been to the KC twice and have now seen you lose twice.
This was an oppertunity to appease the fans a chance to see your team win and potentially win big. But losing two in a row at the start of the season now means the league game on Saturday is a vital win (not in reality just in the short term mind of many football fans)

I also see that brighton have played two and won two (competitive matches) at the AMEX good crowd too for the first round of the CC 16k.

We won 4-2 apparently our third goal is an abosolute screamer and the forth was menat to be a fantastic free kick.

Oh and l**ds beat Sadfud 3-2 in a yorkshire Derby after Sadford were ahead for most of the match.

Poyet has said that he'll take the cups more seriously this season as there isn't the same pressure to go up as last year. Having said that we were without our two best strikers last night with Hoskins still not 100% fit and CMS called up by Scotland, plus Lua Lua was rested.

Big game away at Portsmouth on Saturday. We've sold out our away allocation apparently, I'd be more than happy with a point.

I'm never sure if it's a good idea to make that many changes at this stage of the season. As Grubes says, it might not matter in the long run but it does morale no favours to start the season with two defeats. Plus it's not exactly a confidence boost to the fans who will now think the second string players are probably worse than they actually are.

[tomtom]

Hmm, it appears the 9 changes were inforced.. a couple of niggles picked up from Saturdays game, and 6 of our squad were away on international duty. However the Tigers forums are (in general) not happy chappies..

PS, I may pick my FF squad using the 'autocomplete' function and see how well I do though it does seem to always want to give me scousers! (both red and blue..)

[butters]

Ipswich lost last night as well in a game that was supposed to show the second string what they could do. Not much it would seem with a couple of exceptions according to Jewell.

This weekend also sees the first of the UKB derbies AFAIK - Hull play at Ipswich! Could be interesting as we have one centre back available (of three) at the time of writing and while there is talk of reinforcements in the pipeline it is a cause for concern. At least we have someone who can score goals in Chopra so it could be a game reminiscent of Keegan's Newcastle.

Also a little update on the Android apps for football scores but I will post that in the relevant app thread.

[Jaspersharpe]

Just seen that the attendance at the Brighton game last night (16,295 as Grubes pointed out) was 1600 more than went to Portsmouth (4,464) Bournemouth (3,681) and Southampton (6,541) combined!

At Withdean we'd probably have had the lowest attendance of the 4.

[Jaspersharpe]

Will the forum's resident Leeds, Man United and Man City fans (and the rest of you!) please report to the fantasy football website immediately. We have 11 teams so far in the UKB league, more the merrier.
