Our iPad and bt sport app thingy worked all afternoon
My daughter is the footie lover not me Have sky broadband in main house and bt broadband in annex that we rent out Used it on our sky broadband It does not work on 3g she said, so not as good as sky go She commented on jake being on screen too much, owen a joke and the results show was poor From what I saw the studio show bits were tedious ![]() I don't agree that Owen is a joke, though. I think he really knows what he's talking about. He's just a relatively quiet bloke who has had to work on being a bit more extrovert - nowt wrong with that in my book !! |

Sky should have just kept what they are good at. No need to try and outdo BT. The BT set-up is big on gimmicks, but they don't really deliver. |

Did BT actually have an audience in their studio for the Liverpool match?

I don't think so. I didn't notice one, anyway. Why would they? They were at Anfield for the commentary and then it was just jake and co for the chat

Sky SNF totally pointless as well. Lots of stuff I've seen today on both Sky and BT I've just felt are OTT nonsense, designed just to look different but not really achieving anything.
What's wrong with Sky just being at the Liberty like they'd be for a Sunday game or last season for a 12.45 game? This is the Champions first game, away from home at a tough place, it should be a fairly big occasion on the opening day. Instead it feels like a poor mans Monday Night Football where the actual game is an afterthought, with Redknapp spouting obvious line after obvious line and a crowd of whoppers who obviously think standing in a TV studio for hours is the best way to watch a game. |

Yep, BT coming in has really messed up football presentation.
Just get a studio at the ground with a couple of pundits in it. Its getting daft everyone trying to outdo each other

Well, I am enjoying BT Sports as a refreshing change from Sky and the Beeb. It's good to get some new inputs, some of which are bound to work out better than others
![]() I actually enjoyed the combination of Ian Darke and Michael Owen in the commentary box, and the addition of a referee's view was also interesting .....there just weren't many contentious issues to address in the game. Even the virtual pitch came in handy, I thought, when they showed how goal line technology will work. After 3pm was a different story, though. I think they'll need to do something else as they really didn't have anything specific to offer. Good start on the whole ![]() |

Unofficial sources now saying BT Sport first premiership match peaked at over 1.6 million viewers on BT Sport 1.
Very very impressive figures if true Quote:
Jake just said we must tune into Match of The Day tonight to see all the goals.
Very kind of him to promote another channel! Possible BT Sport Live could show them too if it's presenting itself as effectively a news service under the standard fair usage policies. |

But at the same time Sky are trying to integrate preview (at 2.30pm) and review (at 5pm) of the 3pm games. If Sky just did a normal presentation from the ground (ie starting at 5pm) arguably almost nobody would watch it as people would stay with Soccer Saturday. So yes, I agree they should be careful about too many gimmicks. But in my view the general overall structure makes good sense. |

I cancelled Sky a long time ago so I can't really compare but I enjoyed the match on BT today. I skipped the build-up but the match was well presented and streamed almost flawlessly for me on my Android tablet.

One specific on the BT coverage of Liverpool v Stoke - I think they generally showed very few replays of key incidents.
I wonder if they were worried about missing anything important on such a high profile occasion for them. |

I guess taking over ESPN has helped them bed in very quickly. |

Apart from that, not bad from BT. The only DOG I noticed was the one barking outside. |

Unimpressed by BT Sport so far. The build up to the game was ponderous and lacking in any insight. The glass pitch is a pointless gimmick and the constant use of the inset to show the back of the referee's head irritated quickly, Michael Owen's monotone drone was Trevor Brooking with the knowledge removed.

Owen's on record as saying that football comes a distant second to his love of horse racing , I'd say he's only doing this to fund his stables .

Flicking the channels at half time in the Sky game and saw the half time chat in the German match on BT
So............who's the guy doing the interviewing ? His face looks really familiar but his hair has gone a bit grey since I last saw him I'm sure he's one where you go 'oh yeah, d'oh !' when you hear the name..............

Just got time to watch BT Sport yesterday and overall I am impressed. I really liked the Claire Balding Show, although she seemed very full of her self in the introduction to the show which was something I had never seen her do before but on the rest of the show she seemed fine.
Lifes a Pitch was good after that awful, cringy and unfunny bit at the Start where Des Kelly tries and fails at being Jon Stewart. When he interviewed Richard Scudamore he was fine, leave the comeady to the professionals. Havent seen anything else. |

On the other hand, I think he's a bit of a perfectionist, and now he's taken on this commentary role, he'll do his best to do it well (after all, he's been more of a pundit in the past, which is quite different). Personally I think he's improved greatly - in fact we were joking here that there must be two Michael Owens - the on we usually get, and the one we heard today and last week
![]() Give the guy a chance ![]() He and Ian Darke were a very popular combination for ESPN so why not for BT? You can easily tell whenever Mcnanaman is about he has had far more experience than the rest and speaks a good game. |
