Derek Rae will be the commentator for the STV Sport team for England v Scotland. Kenny Miller, Chris Sutton and Gary McAllister will be special guests, Raman Bhardwaj will present and Sheelagh McLaren will be on the touchline.
Don't think it's been mentioned on here but DigiGuide is suggesting that ITV's team will be...

"Mark Pougatch is joined in the studio by Ryan Giggs, Lee Dixon, Ian Wright and Ally McCoist with commentary from Clive Tyldesley, Glenn Hoddle and Kevin Gallacher."

Have ITV used a three-man commentary team before?

Don't think so but it seems to be becoming a theme for home nations matches... having a representative for both countries in the commentary box. e.g. the BBC did it in the Euro's for England v Wales (Keown and Savage), and Northern Ireland v Wales (Gerry Armstrong and Savage).

They did on the last England v Scotland game they covered.

Agree Howard Webb was very good. I thought it was a shame he was interrupted so quickly though. Wright asked a valid question which would have been interesting to explore but Ferdinand/ Redknapp kept shouting over Webb about what they personally think the law should be and BT eventually just went to a break. Redknapp in particular kept going on about 'the average fan doesn't understand the law' - well Harry, we've got a guy who refereed a World Cup final on the show. Maybe if he's allowed to speak we'll all find out!

That section irritated me as well. Jake should've taken control and allowed Webb to respond.

Little way off but Ian Darke confirming he is covering Tottenham in week 5 of the Champion's League in Monaco and then Manchester Utd on Thursday in the Europa cup.

Sunday 6th November - BBC Two

Match of the Day: FA Cup First Round Highlights

Manish Bhasin presented alongside Trevor Sinclair and Steve Claridge, with John Askey

Boreham Wood v Notts County - Robyn Cowen
Alfreton Town v Newport County - Mark Scott
Morecambe v Coventry City - Dan O'Hagan
Westfields v Curzon Ashton (Saturday) - John Roder
Mertsham v Oxford United (Saturday) - Adam Summerton and Adam Virgo, with Reshmin Chowdhury conducting interviews (as BT Sport)
Bolton Wanderers v Grimsby Town (Saturday) - Vicki Sparks

Round-ups - Ivan Gaskell, Patrick Geary and Juliette Ferrington

The programme began with a montage of Friday's live Eastleigh v Swindon Town game, with commentary from Steve Bower and Martin Keown. Macclesfield Town manager John Askey joined the main trio in the studio only for the segment after the first tranche of Saturday round-ups to reflect on his side's upset win over Walsall.

Commentary clips from BBC Local Radio were used in the following round-up edits:

Taunton Town v Barrow - Ged Mills (BBC Radio Cumbria)
St Albans City v Carlisle United - James Phillips (BBC Radio Cumbria)
Maidstone United v Rochdale - Aaron Paul (BBC Radio Manchester)
Blackpool v Kidderminster Harriers - Ian Chisnall (BBC Lancashire)
Gillingham v Brackley Town - Alex Winter (BBC Radio Oxford)
Yeovil Town v Solihull Moors - Chris Spittles (BBC Radio Bristol)
Cambridge United v Dover Athletic - Mark Johnson (BBC Radio Cambridgeshire)
Northampton Town v Harrow Borough - Tim Oglethorpe (BBC Radio Northampton)
Whitehawk v Stourbridge - Steve Hermon (BBC WM)
Bradford City v Accrington Stanley - Dan Jewell (BBC Lancashire)
Crawley Town v Bristol Rovers - Ian Randall (BBC Radio Bristol)

I think I'm right with the commentators I've listed, if anyone knows any differently feel free to correct me!

That looks like a really weak Super Sunday line up, I know there was no blockbuster game but I wouldn't want to sit through those 2! Still not sure why Sky only had 2 games.

MOTD was good in Saturday, it really is a consistent show each week now despite maybe the odd duff commentary. I do think John Motson is probably due to retire now but the BBC won't "force" him out, it will be his decision no doubt.

Anyway, to other matters

Spurs vs West Ham - 19th November
Rosie & Jim present with Sooty & Sweep
Commentary from Zippy & Bungle

Pretty confident I won't be proven wrong on this one

Yet we have ex managers and pundits trying to tell us how useless the officials are and what they should do..

"They don't understand the game" etc...

Sure refs make some mistakes (often highlighted after endless replays which they don't see) but most of the time its a 50/50 decision which could go either way.

The section highlighted to me why I haven't warmed to Jake being a football presenter. A 'good' presenter would have like you said took control when the shouting began, let Howard respond and guide the conversation based on what he said. Yet he and (to be fair) the producers allowed it to become an absolute mess

Very Strange list. Having Matterface is particularly strange. I assume he has been picked for his Radio commentaries. Even then they arent that great. Steve Wilson, Steve Bower, Rob Hawthorne, Daniel Mann, Peter Drury, Jon Champion, Clive Tyldesley, and even Darren Fletcher are all better than him.

ITV actually used the three-man commentary team long ago, getting both Liam Brady and Jimmy Greaves to co-commentate on Republic of Ireland against England in November 1990.

Today's quiz... and one for Welsh folk:

1) Who is the person on the right? Think he manages or at least managed a club recently. Can't recall the name.
https://twitter.com/sgorio/status/769558515287461888]
That's Ian Hughes (ex of Aberystwyth Town) - Malcolm Allen has also referred to him as a Danny Dyer lookalike.

That'll be Waynne Phillips. he also does reports on either Wrexham or the 92nd best team in the League for Radio Cymru's 'Camp Lawn' sports show on Saturdays.
