Several incorrect results in the Scottish Highland & Lowland Leagues

Although I have a means of overriding incorrect results from theSportsDB server before they reach my android app users, it would great if they didn't occur! Last season there were several in the Scottish Highland and Lowland Leagues (which I kept quiet about!). All other Scottish leagues were/are fine. Only a few weeks into this season, I already have 3 incorrect scores in each:-

Scottish Highland League
2090993 3-2 not 3-0
2090994 2-3 not 0-3
2091004 0-4 not 0-3
Scottish Lowland League
2104961 1-2 not 0-2
2104974 2-1 not 2-0
2104984 6-1 not 6-0

Although I have editorial rights, I know that even if I correctly edit the result, it will be overridden later with the incorrect one again.

Can you please investigate?

Cheers,
Stewart

The leagues are auto updated about 20 times a day, but its really hard if the source is wrong.

Let me know if they are being overwritten.

Not much we can do I'm afraid.

I've changed
https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2104984-Gretna-2008-vs-Hearts-B

to the correct score of 6-1

If it goes back to 6-0 you'll know it has been overwritten!

Yeh the importer has overwritten it, not quite sure what to suggest here as our source is clearly wrong. But we have to rely on them really as many other leagues are correct. I guess they will correct it eventually.

I have reported the inaccuracies to the API-Football (the results provider).

They now use an AI bot instead of human interface, so I have no idea if it registered or not.

Hopefully you'll see them updated in the next 24 hours.

I think they've now updated them.
