    Wednesday 26th March - BT Sport 2

    Serie A
    Fiorentina v AC Milan - Peter Drury and Stewart Robson


    BT Sport Digital Exclusive

    Serie A
    Juventus v Parma - Patrick Tarroni (as international feed)

    I didn't see any of their live coverage, but going from Twitter I see that BT Sport 2 joined the Fiorentina v Milan match in-progress in order to broadcast the conclusion of a WTA tour tennis match.

    Wednesday 26th March - Sky Sports 2

    Live Scottish Premiership: Partick Thistle v Celtic

    David Tanner presented from Firhill alongside John Collins and Neil McCann

    Commentators: Ian Crocker and Andy Walker

    Reporter: Luke Shanley

    Out of interest, does anyone know who has the rights to the Scottish Premiership Promotion/Relegation Play-Offs? Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Alba or a combination of the three?

    Gary Birtles on the West Ham highlights showing total ignorance of the laws of football. If its not deliberate handball then it is not a foul. You can't argue that it was accidental but should have been a free kick.

    Seemed to be a bit of a cock-up at Sky Towers last night during the highlights show, after the West Ham game the ad break went on for nearly ten minutes, including about half a dozen trailers. Presumably there was some sort of problem getting back to Anfield.

    Not as bad as Ed's "Gibbs' red card was reskind... rescinen... overturned" on Tuesday, mind.

    CL QFs on Sky 1:

    1st leg (Wed 2 Apr): Real Madrid v Dortmund
    2nd leg (Wed 9 Apr): Atletico v Barcelona

    So this time Sky's games featuring English teams remain exclusive to Sky Sports.

    Usual Conference gang on Southport vs Forest Green on BT, albeit no Helen - Clemmit presenting with James Beattie and Mark Creighton, and Steve Bower alongside, presumably, Adam Virgo, though we've not heard from him yet.

    EDIT: And indeed Virgo is there.

    I'm surprised ITV have decided to go with Man Utd vs Bayern Munich for the first leg, I'd of thought they would have preferred the return unless they think it will be a dead rubber game, with how its going it probably will be.

    Venezuela U17 v Canada U17 (FIFA U17 Women's World Cup Quarter Final)

    Wayne Boyce and Jen O'Neill for British Eurosport (HD)

    Who(m)ever is in charge of the EPG may want to shift the time for Italy v Ghana tonight, as it starts at 11pm, not 10pm.

    ITV have not got the rights to the 2nd leg.

    Indeed, it's not up to ITV, it's whatever game UEFA deign to schedule on Tuesday. And it's probably best this way for ITV because the Man U game will get a big audience regardless what leg they show and the Chelsea game is likely to be more competitive in the second leg.

    PISSING down at Southport on BT, by the way.

    PISSING down at Southport on BT, by the way.

    This was great fun, by the way. Mark Creighton said the weather was worse than the notorious Luton match on New Year's Day which was famously a complete farce. The Forest Green manager said it should have been called off and in his post-match interview sugggested it only hadn't because it was on the telly, and Clemmit had to keep on saying "I must stress, BT Sport had no influence on the referee!".

    Not surprised to see Fulham vs Everton at the weekend because it seems to be live on telly most seasons, it's certainly been on live a good few times. I seem to remember it being Bill Leslie's first live game on Sky Sports when it was a Saturday lunchtime kick-off in 2006 as Ian Darke was busy covering boxing. I suppose in previous years it's because they've been two fairly evenly matched teams, less so now though. But it always seems to have been a favourite with Sky for some reason.

    Ian Crocker will be on 3D for Arsenal v Manchester City.

    I will guess that Daniel Mann will cover the big Championship game from Turf Moor, Burnley v Leicester, with Bill Leslie doing the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final on Sunday afternoon.

    As for the Premier League matches on Sky, it will be interesting to see who does which game.

    Last night in Dan Walker's show they had a quick clip of what was 5live's first ever commentary game back in 1994.

    It was Sheffield United v West Ham (3-2) and I think it was Jon Champion presenting with Miles Harrison commenting.

    David Jones has confirmed on Twitter that Redknapp, Carragher, Neville and Shreeves are all involved on SNF tonight. Surprising that Carragher is on - usually the guest has a relevance to the two teams playing so I'm surprised that Quinn isn't being used as the guest. Glad it's Carragher though - he can show Redknapp how the touchscreen is used :)

    I'll go for Tyler & Neville tonight, Parry & Provan at Craven Cottage and then Hawthorne & Smith at Anfield tomorrow.

    Hawthorne tonight if he is still covering Chelsea in the Champion's League.
