I think the thread title says it all really. Every time there is a live match, and other occasions such as transfer deadline day, the whole site freezes up. It hardly seems worth trying to participate really - posting a comment an hour or so after the event after the thread has gone cold. There's just not enough time in a day to hang around waiting for the site to come online again.....

I know it's all down to budget and everything, so am not criticising admin directly, but after recent experiences i'm going to be much more reluctant to log on to the site.

Hi froggyted,

Thank you for bringing this to the attention of our Customer Services Department.

The shut down of the server was caused by an unwarranted amount of traffic over surging the server at the final whistle. It reset itself and was functional again in eight minutes.

We appreciate the inconvenience suffered through this downtime, it's not what we aim for. To help further could you please click on the following link to submit a brief ticket to the people who run our server. Highlight this problem consistently should facilitate us in getting better performance from them.

At 90 minutes this place went AWOL. I didn't want to make a fuss so I did a full malware and adware scan, picked up a few reg errors but nothing else. Seems this place is the A number one for blues during and after a game.

PS. Barkley for prez.

Guys, thanks for the positive rep. Sorry if i upset anyone, my rant was borne of frustration at not being able to post, and was not a criticism of admin.

Btw, the GOT site overall is very good. I've looked at a few fan sites and this is the best in terms of layout and information. I very rarely visit the OS now, since all it provides is sanitised soundbytes - typical of the overall problems at the Club and the way the Board treat the fans. I have a mate who is a Black Cats fan, and from what he has told me their OS has a much more open forum and fans are allowed to criticise.

Keep up the great work. :)

Cheers fella.

Tim Howard being the most talked about person on the planet for a moment didn't help our cause - he was actually the top worldwide trend on twitter... madness.

You can't pre-empt stuff like that
