Football statistics, 91福利社 Sport website

Complaint

A reader complained about unreliable information provided on the 91福利社 Sport website, particularly in relation to data on past Manchester City games.  The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 91福利社鈥檚 editorial standards of accuracy.


Outcome

It had become apparent to 91福利社 Sport that the information available via 鈥淧revious meetings鈥�, which was provided by an outside supplier, was systematically unreliable, and the ECU agreed it fell short of the standard of accuracy applicable in this context.  91福利社 Sport had removed the data in question before the complaint reached the ECU, but had not acknowledged the issue on the public record, as is generally expected in such cases.  The ECU therefore could not consider the issue of complaint to have been fully resolved.

Upheld


Further action

The finding was reported to the management of 91福利社 Sport and discussed with the editorial team concerned.  The article was revised to reflect the finding.
