    Friday 10th October - talkSPORT

    Drive Time with Adrian Durham and Darren Gough, followed by Matt Holland presenting Kick Off: The Players Lounge alongside Dean Ashton

    UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifying Group B
    Wales v Bosnia-Herzegovina - Ian Danter

    UEFA Under-21 Championship 2015 Qualifying Play-Off First Leg
    England Under-21s v Croatia Under-21s - Dave Rowe

    Rugby Union: Premiership
    Leicester Tigers v Harlequins - Russell Hargreaves

    Warren Haughton has been reporting on the Leaders in Sport conference at Stamford Bridge.

    Good to hear that Radio 5 Live Sports Extra decided late in the day to simulcast the respective BBC WM and Radio Wales commentaries on the England Under-21s and Wales games. I still think the latter match should have been on the main 5 Live station, but their decision to prioritise Wales ahead of a rank-and-file Premiership rugby union game was a sensible move and better than having no UK-wide radio commentary at all.

    I agree with the difference and think that the Wales game should have been on 5Live, meaning 5LSX could have covered the rugby with everyone being happy. I can't believe there would have been many listeners to 5Live who would prefer to listen to the usual discussion show over live football.
    Today, 5Live have prioritised the Rugby League on the main station with Scotland's game on 5LSX. some may argue about that (not me though) but at least coverage of live sport is the reason for the football not being on the main station.

    Terry Butcher is on 5Live tomorrow as a pundit, Danny Mills is doing 606

    With Chris Waddle doing Thursday's game, it's a switch from Mills doing every England game. Whether, there's some rotation going on or there's been a change, we'll have to wait and see!

    Saturday 11th October - RTE Radio 1

    Damien O'Meara presented Saturday Sport from the Aviva Stadium alongside Pat Fenlon and Johnny McDonnell, with Joanne Cantwell hosting from the studio between 3-4.45pm

    UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifying Group D
    Republic of Ireland v Gibraltar - John Kenny and Brian Kerr (5pm commentary), with Adrian Eames at pitchside

    Rugby Union: Pro12
    Zebre v Leinster - John Fallon (via phone)

    Golf: Portugal Masters
    Oceanico Victoria Golf Course, Vilamoura - Mark Tompkins

    Motorsport: Donegal Harvest Rally
    Stage 7 - Martin Walsh

    RTE Radio 1 also carried on-course commentary on featured horse races from Newmarket and Fairyhouse.


    Newstalk 106-108FM

    Adrian Barry presented Off The Ball alongside Dave McIntyre (initially in the studio before heading over to the Aviva Stadium) and Richie McCormack

    UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifying Group D
    Republic of Ireland v Gibraltar - Dave McIntyre, with Stewie Byrne (studio) and Kevin Kilbane (Salford) providing analysis

    Hurling: GAA Dublin Senior Championship Semi-Finals
    O'Tooles v St Jude's & Kilmacud Crokes v Ballyboden St Enda's - Oisin Langan

    Today FM had Philip Egan reporting from the Aviva Stadium on the Republic of Ireland v Gibraltar qualifier during Ross Lindsay's evening sports bulletins.

    To correct a small detail from my earlier post on talkSPORT's Saturday coverage, Steve Lomas was only on the Matchday Live panel between 2-5pm meaning Ray Parlour was the only pundit with Ian Danter during the final hour of that show. For the record, talkSPORT didn't have a reporter covering the rugby league Super League Grand Final.

    Oops, typo there - Chick Young was originally with Richard Gordon at Pacific Quay before both moved to Ibrox during the Rugby. But by all intents and purposes, the programme was presented from Ibrox (and Murrayfield).

    Portsmouth v Mansfield Town - Ian Abrahams

    I'm not sure he'll be welcomed back to Fratton Park with open arms given what happened on Twitter yesterday when he complained on a number of occasions that there wasn't any free food in the press box. Suggestions by many people he buy his own were, apparently, "disrepectful"

    BBC WM

    BBC WM Sport with Rob Gurney From 1:50pm

    Women's Super League
    Notts County v Birmingham City - Rob Gurney & Nikki Lloyd (Live commentary on DAB & Online from 2pm)

    From right at the start of the show before kick off they had a problem with the line and you could just hear the BBC WM Sport bed/jingle. The line also went the odd time in the game too. From yesterday this was Steve Hermon's reporting point at Shildon - https://twitter.com/SteveHermon/status/520939449602306048
