I'd really like to use this if it ever gets done. Perhaps one way of doing it is if when the sports guys are typing the details in the systems adds a 'divider' between each commentary. i.e.
<b>GOAL: John O'Shea (94 mins) Arsenal 2 - 4 Man Utd</b> blah blah <br> <br> <!-- new section divider --> <b> Something else </b> It would make it possible to extract the individual bits of text from the html by performing an explode() in PHP.

However, I will forward the idea over the BBC Sport website for them to have a look at.

I could then put soemthing together that would trigger a popup when it finds words like "Goal" and "Booking" in the description field. I'd then think about writing something that takes the descriptions and turns them into a pitch representation of the match, but ultimately decide to just watch the telly instead.
