Brunners 7,952 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If you're handy with a web browser, I'm using web tools, F12 with Chrome, click the Network tab, click where it says 'XHR' between 'All' and 'JS'. Then refresh the page with F5. The list at the bottom should populate with some XHR requests. Click on the 'GetPollsResult' Name and in the Preview tab will the JSON response. Inside the results object, there's a list of votes for each player represented by a GUID ID. Worked out which ID is which for each player by looking at the page HTML for each of the list items (players). They show that the results as they are right now are set at: Dani Ayala: 37,988 Fernando Forestieri: 37,815 Andre Gray: 12,454 Alan Judge: 2,927 Ross McCormack: 2,234 Sam Vokes: 2,218 They are changing very marginally, Ayala and Forestieri just had 2 added on whilst I was writing this (probably someone has a browser left open before they closed the results). Gray has been the standout player this season, why has he got so few votes? Because burnley doesn't have access to the Internet yet :D ;) But in all seriousness middlesbrough and Wednesday fans were much more interested in winning their players the award I think.

wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Gazette gonna look into it tomorrow. Definitely something off by sky sports though. Yeah, Vickers has caught wind of it and I've got a whole load more retweets and likes because of that, so the message is getting out and hopefully we'll get a response tomorrow on the actual vote count and why the response from the site differs to what they're actually saying. The lad on OwlsTalk who was paying attention to the votes has said the same thing, saying it's weird because it says that Ayala won. If it was unique votes, Gray would have had plenty more say in it, I believe. Boro and Wednesday fans have gave it a good go because it was between Ayala and Forestieri from quite early on. The whole thing could swing entirely one way or the other if they discount votes from duplicate IPs, but at least then it would be a relatively fair representation. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Jonathan Taylor said the Gazette guys are looking into it. Also had a retweet from a football writer / guy who used to work for the FA apparently so that helped a bit too.

And the general consensus from their forum is that he wasn't even Burnley's best player let alone best in the league. Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 maybe Sky took the final count on the board (which carried on for a few minutes after 7pm) rather than the count at cut off time? Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Don't think so, at no point last night did Forestieri close the gap, Ayala always had a lead over him. Link to post Share on other sites
