    More scathing attacks on Micheal Owen today following his commentary on Saturday, I think he will be more than happy when the international break comes after their next game.

    Some may think it's unfair but he does need to up his game.

    Not being funny but he is the sort of guy who BT could of done with, someone who is not afraid to voice his opinion, unlike Halsey who at the moment is very subject to one word answers.

    Bangor City v Rhyl (Corbett Sports Welsh Premier League)

    Dylan Ebenzer hosting from the Book People stadium, with Marc Lloyd Williams (ex-player of both teams) to talk briefly about the game. Commentary from Nic Parry and Malcolm Allen with English language commentary from Bryn Tomos and Mark Jones.

    During the first half whilst a Rhyl player was receiving treatment, a camera panned to a nearby house, where someone had his back turned to the ground, as he was re-painting his chimney. Laughter ensued.

    Helen is involved, just reporting live from the Grimsby dressing room, though the coverage appears to be a double header with Mark Clemmit, doing more or less what he does for the Football League on the Beeb. In fact the coverage is unlike much other live football in that the first ten minutes or so were clearly all pre-recorded, James Beattie is just hanging aroud and Steve Bower had a chat with Wrexham's Mark Creighton who I think is co-commentating. It's like a magazine show with a fooball match in the middle.

    But it does give you the context which the general viewer needs and obviously rather on here with some of these gimmicks than on Premier Sports watched only by a handful of Luton fans and nobody else and doing nothing to actually promote the league to the casual fan.

    I think Clemmit is freelance and Skelton has technically (or will soon) leave the BBC

    Guy Mowbray is at OT and has just tweeted about the press room and mentioned 'Provan' which indicates who is on MOTD later and who Sky's co-comm is (suppose he could be on 3D)

    He also mentioned 'Walsh' (Presumably Int feed), Waddle (5Live) and McQueen (radio?)

    Hernan Crespo is also there which would be a shock if he was on Sky 3D ;)

    On a tenuous note, Sky Broadband is sponsoring their US Open coverage, I wouldn't be surprised to see that pop up on football given the battle with BT

    I am sure that Crespo works for Sky Italia.
    He was co-comm for Arsenal Villa on the opening day i think.

    Mark Chapman presenting Match of the Day 2 tonight with Alan Shearer and Peter Schmeichel.

    Mark Chapman currently presenting 5 Live Sport, the programme goes on until 10.30 but I presume he won't be presenting much of it (perhaps only until kick off?). Alan and Peter currently guests on 5 live, Alan in the studio, Peter at Old Trafford which he'll leave at half time apparently.

    Jamie Carragher seems to be speaking slower and more deliberately on tonight's MNF which is making him a lot easier to understand than last week; fewer nerves at play, or has he been given a bit of communication training?

    He still seems slow on the touch screen, clearly lacking confidence with it and it is made more obvious when Neville is in full flow.. Carragher has to constantly stop mid-sentence to try and get the thing working!

    Do they not review the whole weekend on MNF anymore? They've only done the Man City game this evening.

    They normally do but given the big game on now and sweet FA happening in the other games, that will be after the game

    She is only leaving Blue Peter; she will still be seen/heard on the BBC on other programmes.
