BBC live football pages not showing properly

Whenever I watch a live football match (the live text not video) on the bbc in opera there are no options for hiding team lineups or showing all live text, if I view it in chrome or the dreaded IE everything shows fine with the arrows allowing you to show or hide the different sections. I havent changed many (if any) of the default options (maybe just extended history). Is this something everybody else experiences or is this just a problem with my opera?

Win 7, Opera 10.51 btw smile

Many thanks, smile

I'm guessing he means the likes of this.

If you mask as Firefox it works. There is a black area with a red arrow, clicking on that will show/hide the relevant stats.

Don't identify as firefox, as that doesn't work. You need to mask as firefox, Just checked on your link and that does work masked as ff.

If you have to mask Opera as another browser that usually means it is sending different code to Opera. It's up to the BBC to make it work correctly in Opera, not the other way round.
