Because his thread was in the correct forum, I merged the two together but left his as OP, there was nothing really wrong with yours, and had his not existed, I would have moved in to this forum and left it at that.

Regarding the colour scheme, blue and yellow are complimentary. So blue, yellow, black and white makes perfect spectral sense.
As for the layout, just like everything else these days, it looks to have been designed for the gormless ipad generation. |

Trying to be minimal but not succeeding. The thing is, if you're going to do a minimalistic typographic layout you need to pay extra attention to structure, a strong baseline grid, limiting yourself to certain font sizes for hierarchy, etc.

In this case I find it especially irritating becasue they've used very subdued colours in many areas (e.g. the Headlines section). Combined with their choice of font(s) and little use of bolding, the yellow headers pop out against a sea of hard-to-navigate blandness. Using this page as an example -- BBC Sport - Football you get far too much emphasis on the yellow areas and the photos, giving the page a hack & slash, cobbled-together appearance, even if the basic layout isn't awful in and of itself. Unless they're actually aiming for a 'glue & scissors fanzine'/'Angelfire fan site' retro look, it's an abomination. |

The interface may get a bit of getting used to but I think it's great for the most part and so will everybody find eventually. The new live text commentry is great.

Spoiler
There's no way it would be in red anyway as that colour is used for the news pages. I'm not sure what to make of it being in green either: Spoiler
As with most changes, people will get used to the redesign. One thing I do hope that they change is the use of the highlight colour blue on the news banners among other things when they've got live football/other sport going on. Other than that I like it. |

I think every site should go vintage for a week or something. I hate these updates, it's all tailored to iPad browsing, and it's annoying. iPad apps should be tailored iPad browsing, not the sites themselves.....or at least not yet.

It looks very clean and emphasises visuals over text compared to the previous design. They've also made it more functional with a lot of easily accessible video and other content right where you need it. |

If I've got it in another tab and then I check it. It will refresh but without some info. Basic updates look fine but big ones like currently 'RED CARD Stoke's Robert Huth' just has that, no info underneath. I have to refresh the page for it to come up. Same with goals. Pain in the arse.

I love it, a lot better than the previous one which was all small and stuck to the grid to much, this one is more dynamic. I'm used to where everything goes now, much better visually. Cracking looking site.

But as far as I can see there's no top scorer page for the new website. |
