    I'm not a massive fan of Steven Howard's writing (or The Sun for that matter), but he wrote a really nice tribute to Brian in today's paper. It touched upon how he helped offer some strength to his colleague Danny Fullbrook, who sadly died of the same illness three months ago, in his fight against cancer.

    Worth a read: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4545123/Brian-Woolnough-tribute-by-Steven-Howard.html

    Far from it. Geoff Horsfield was Gold's regular Birmingham City co-commentator at the beginning of last season, before Darren Carter took over from him a few months into the campaign not long after Geoff had attracted some criticism for heavily criticising certain Blues players (I forget which ones) in a particular game. Geoff seems to have returned to the role this season, having already done most Blues games so far in 2012/13, since Carts resumed his playing career at Cheltenham Town.

    5 Live - 19/9/12

    Presented from Stamford Bridge by Mark Pougatch

    Chelsea v Juventus - Mike Ingham + Graeme Le Saux
    Man Utd v Galatasaray - Ian Dennis

    Haven't heard anything from Celtic yet, though I didn't hear the start of the show.
    Ipswich v Wolves - Rob Nothman
    Leicester v Burnley - Steve May
    Sheff Wed v Huddersfield - John Acres (Paul Walker + Kevin Kilbane on Sports Extra)

    Mike Sewell and (I think) Steve Froggatt commentated on the England womens match earlier for Sports Extra.

    Be interesting to know how they're deciding which matches get 2 commentators, 2 in Madrid last night but only 1 in London this evening.

    All Sat 12:45 PL games have had 1 comm. Maybe the lower profile CL game will get 1 comm each week?

    I'd be surprised if anyone other than Roddy Forsyth is at the Celtic game

    Yeah I'd noticed that as well, I wonder if it's because they've been 'smaller' matches. Guess we'll find out next weekend when Arsenal play Chelsea on Saturday lunchtime.

    Thursday 20th September - talkSPORT

    Drive Time with Danny Kelly and Darren Gough, followed by Georgie Bingham presenting Kick Off alongside Stewart Robson

    UEFA Europa League Group Stage
    CS Maritimo v Newcastle United - Graham Courtney
    BSC Young Boys v Liverpool - Graham Beecroft
    Tottenham Hotspur v SS Lazio - Ian Abrahams

    Apparently Danny was a late sub for Adrian Durham on Drive Time, with Georgie subbing for Danny on Kick Off.

    In addition, John Roder has posted this on his blog: "Looking forward to returning to talkSPORT this month, after a very enjoyable Euro 2012 for them, as part of a manic week of seven commentaries in seven days." I hear he'll be doing commentary on Tottenham v Lazio in the Europa League for them next Thursday.

    Clearly, that's not happened tonight?

    Yes, the plans I heard about last week have clearly changed. John hasn't changed the blurb on his website though, he's still listed to return to talkSPORT so it will be interesting to hear where and when he turns up. Presuming he won't be working on Premier League games, perhaps he might be involved in their League Cup coverage rather than/as well as that of the Champions League or Europa League.

    John Roder is now saying he has six commentaries in seven days, rather than seven in seven.

    sounds like ts decided to drop commentary which is a real shame-- particularly as their was no 5live commentary of the game.
