However, seeing that the last game had been cancelled (although at that time it wouldn't even have been due to be simulated) pretty much gave away the result of the previous one, and there's really no way of getting to the pitch-by-pitch without seeing what's ahead in the schedule. It's probably a bit of a challenge programming-wise, but it would really make it more interesting if the following schedule updated only after a game result has been revealed.

The way I see it, the problem here is you have to enter the schedule to be able to play the matches. One possible solution for this, one that doesn't seem too hard to implement in my opinion, is to create a new option in the menu called "Play Match" that would immediately play the first unwatched match.

Hmmm....this might be a good solution. Steve

One thought, considering changing the menu may be a bit more work than this is worth: As the team page, league, cup and schedule all contain information that may betray game outcomes, couldn't this link to the first unopened game be on the first page after logging in? It would be a bit counterintuitive, as that is the news page, but everybody would have to see it there, and it would solve the problem.
