Lay-speak translation, please

I've tried accessing an England football website and keep getting a message coming up (see link).

What does it mean please?

It's nothing to do with your PC or internet connection. There's a server error which prevents anyone accessing the database which forms part of the website. These things happen quite often on many websites but often go unnoticed by most users because technical staff usually fix them very quickly. However, when they occur over the weekend, they're often not put right until Monday morning. Try again tomorrow; I'd be very surprised if that website isn't fully online again by teatime at the latest.

An application error occurred on the server - the database search facility has fallen over.

The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons) - internet users cannot see what the actual error is.

It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine - the powers that be can view the error.
