Yeah, but if it were posted in a thread, you could easily avoid it, just like it's easy to avoid reading FB if you have friends who'll likely post results, or twitter etc...if it's posted in the title of a thread though, and you go to the home page and it was the last post, it'll appear, it'll also appear when you hit the recent posts link.

Bit harder to avoid that way, and why should someone avoid the site entirely just because someone else is being selfish?

It's simple forum etiquette, BE isn't any special there.

No, it's how a lot of people browse the forum when they want to see recent posts rather than going to a specific area of the forum.

I can never avoid the live scores. Last week, just as I was sitting down to watch a crucial match my mother in law calls- no danger there so I picked it up and she starts talking about the match, no doubt because she doesn't know else to talk about with me. I said "STOP! I'm just sitting down to watch it" and she says "oh they better win this thing!". I knew it was just about over so right then I knew whatever happens it's going to be tied near the end. After hanging up I fast forwarded to the end and watched the last 5 minutes..All day I was avoiding people, places, and letting the phone go to voice mail and she ruins it with one ill timed phone call.

I'm not going to say she did it on purpose, but she definitely did it on purpose. She swore to my wife that she never gave me the score and that's probably true, but she gave me a big clue and just by the tone of her voice I knew the outcome was in serious jeopardy

Glad someones got a bit of sense out there.

It doesn`t take a lot of intelligence to think that someone may of recorded it and may not want to see the score, you could of at least not put it in the title. :curse:

Probably because he's preparing to throw it out his pram!

It's pathetic.

If you are going to moan about seeing the score somewhere then become a hermit for the day.

Regardless of if it's in the title, in a thread, over text, on the news, on BBC sport, you can avoid it if you want to.

Just don't moan about it. Find something else to make your life that little bit more exciting than watching a repeat of a match and not knowing the score.

Jeeeeeeeeeesus.
