Yep, BT published info in more than one place that it would be shown on the 4K UHD channel. Makes no odds to me as I can't get it through Sky nor do I have a suitable TV but they should really get things like that right. If they choose not to broadcast it in ultra HD then fair enough, just don't tell everyone that you are when you're not.

Assume Solihull Moors v Yeovil will be a live replay on BT Sport? At this stage they usually go for the "famous giant-killers possibly being giant-killed in relative terms" angle whenever it's a live possibility - if it had happened today, Gravesend & Northfleet (now Ebbsfleet United)'s victory over Colchester 21 years ago, which frighteningly is now only a few years off being as far away as Colchester's most famous victory was then, could have been shown live, maybe even FTA, rather than the two all-Football-League fixtures Sky showed live then.

Saturday 5th November - Channel 5

Football on 5

George Riley and Lynsey Hipgrave presented alongside Alan Curbishley and Sone Aluko

Bristol City v Brighton & Hove Albion - Daniel Mann and David Prutton, with Guy Havord conducting interviews (as Sky Sports)
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Derby County - Bill Leslie and Don Goodman, with Jonathan Oakes conducting interviews (as Sky Sports)
Burton Albion v Barnsley - Paul Walker

Championship round-ups - Dave Beckett, Sue Thearle and Tom Skippings

Lynsey Hipgrave and Sone Aluko chatted over the clips from Friday's Brentford v Fulham game, despite it having been live on Sky Sports. So not only did they not use their commentary, but we didn't hear any of their post-match interviews either.

While I always like to see shows like this getting an active player into the studio - and with Sone having played and scored for Fulham he was a good choice - I really do find having pundits talking over the first and only showing of action to be annoying. With the pundits attempting to provide analysis, you simply don't get the information as to which players are on the ball in the clips you are seeing that you would get either from a commentary or a regular voiceover report. With them having 45 minutes after commercials, surely there would have been time for both a proper edit of this game and then some analysis? I know I bring it up all the time on here, but while generally I rate Football on 5 highly, this is probably the one aspect of TV sports coverage that annoys me more than anything else.

The last few weeks I have watched the 'goal rush' on nbc and must say I really like John Dykes and Don Hutchinson, both insightful and interesting comments and seem to have good partnership going. As mentioned before the concept of the programme is just fantastic!!!

Are BT using a different camera angle than usual today?

They look miles away. The sunlight situation isn't helping.

EDIT:
It's the usual angle but for some reason they always like to start the match with the camera zoomed out so far that we may as well be watching from space, and then it takes them a few minutes to zoom in to an appropriate level.

Trevor Francis again? He's easily one of the worst co-commentators around, who makes these decisions?

On the subject of camera angles, I watched MOTD this morning and the angle at Burnley looked different than normal to me. Was it, or is my mind just playing tricks?

He's barely said two words anyway.

Real "stating the obvious" co-commentary from him and McManaman today.

The own goal was a 'good goal'. Dreadful commentary for such a big game. NBC for the 2nd half I think

Did he really say 1666 not 1966?
