New scores suggestion

[GlasgowDG]

Hi, would it be possible to add scores for the Scottish Premier League
e.g. as scotprem_scores?

Thanks!

If you can point me to a website that displays real time scores, I can
see if I can add teams from Scotland too.

cheers

I don't know of anything similar to the Live Text pages for each club
that your Ruby scripts checked on the BBC site. Since the
reorganisation of the BBC Football site it looks like the Live Text is
now only displayed on the page for each specific match.

But the Live Videprinter page obviously carries the scores as well,
and has a permanent URL (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/
live_videprinter/default.stm). Could that be an option for parsing? It
looks to have a reasonable amount of metadata contained within the
HTML.

Another option could be the Sporting Life videprinter (http://
www.sportinglife.com/football/popup/vidiprinter.auto?/opt/ASFapache/htdocs/site/football/live/vidiprinter/text.insdat).

Hopefully the above can be used to help get prem_scores working again
and for Scottish scores as well.

Thanks for your work on this

I think the Sporting Life feed is probably best after looking at these
and a few others. I'm thinking what I'll have to do is store all of
the Twitter accounts in a map, and tokenise each entry in the feed,
and if I get a match in the map, push to Twitter. Might have to think
this one through a bit.
