Sportscene Results (Saturday)
(1600-1715 BBC Two Scotland) David Currie hosted with Gemma Fay, Tom English and Craig Paterson Dundee v (the) Rangers (1215BST) - Rob Maclean (FT only) Aberdeen v Heart of Midlothian - Scott Davie Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Ross County - Martin Dowden Motherwell v St Johnstone - John Barnes Hamilton Academical v Kilmarnock - Alasdair Lamont Dumbarton v Dundee United - Kenny Crawford Hibernian v Dunfermline Athletic - Brian McLaughlin Morton v Falkirk - Andy Burke Again, at full times, not all games in the SPL showed pictures when getting a report. I did like David cutting Tom off 'in his prime' as a goal had been scored. Final Score from Northern Ireland (Saturday) (1700-1710 BBC Two NI) Mark Sidebottom hosted Crusaders v Linfield - Thomas Kane (commentary) Glenavon v Cliftonville - Jackie Fullerton (commentary) As I didn't record this last week, today was the first chance I got to see it for this season. The NI opt-out also has the new logo and titles (but same music), and along with showing the goals a statistical caption will also appear in the bottom left (although only for the home team I noticed). I've no idea why this only lasted 10 minutes, whilst the others finished at quarter past. Mark did say 'due to time constraints we're only able to show you those two games, the rest will be on the BBC Sport NI website this eveninig' After those two games they mentioned some boxers in the Olympics, then abruptly finished. For those five minutes until it could link up again with Network BBC2 they showed some filler programming. |

Neville has left the presentation team at the Emirates (presumably to commentary). |

Interesting that Sat night EFL is being presented from Sky studios – when did that last happen on a regular basis?
Quote:
That hour's build up seems far to long for me, ok the start of the season etc but as time goes on i think they will struggle, half hour for me would be just about perfect or perhaps a little longer on the much bigger games of the season.
i really think the same will also be said for Friday night games and Sunday's but i can understands Monday night's as clearly they will have the weekends action to talk about. Quote:
Indeed they did - didn't have one before the 2nd half last season.
A 'sponsored by TagHauer' DOG appears next to the scoreboard every 15 minuteswhuch it didn't have last season. Otherwise as you were. Quote:
Disappointed that Sky have kept the same titles and graphics etc. Definitely the worst titles they've had for years and was hoping we'd see a change in the music at least. BT's new graphics really are excellent. Simple but they look very good.

BBC Final Score
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Reading - Seth Bennett I've no idea if there was a reporter at the 1730 PL game as I was switching around on the olympic channels but when I came back to Final Score they had the teams lined up in the 'current score' corner like you'd see after a preview has happened. Quote:
I can't help but feel that they have made a bit of a meal of promoting the new goals offering on mobile, however (and the app isn't particularly well designed) - it has the potential to be a very valuable and useful service if packaged in a compelling manner.
Quote:
Paul Walker on Wigan v Blackburn for the football league highlights on Channel 5 tonight. Gary Megson and Alan Curbishley will be pundits.
Quote:
I'm old enough to remember the negativity surrounding the scoreboard when it was first added by Sky. Viewers, used to a clear screen on live football coverage, reacted strongly against it.
It also took a few years for other channels to follow suit. Quote:
BBC will be slightly disappointed you'd imagine with the MOTD rating - 3.1 million (slightly lower than normal I think). It was beaten by the Live Olympics over on BBC2 - 3.6 million - so not even the most watched channel at the time.
Judging by the hype MOTD (or more specifically Lineker's pants) was getting from the Beeb I assume they expected a bumper rating. Quote:

Incidentally I was a bit surprised, and I wonder if others were, that we don't have a new font for the names and numbers on players' shirts, given it matches the old logo. Don't mind, I like the font.
Given that this was knocking round online (after it appeared in a video produced by the people responsible for the Premier League rebranding), everybody should be delighted that the fonts haven't changed this season. They are doing for next though apparently. |

Are Sky going to go with a three-man commentary box?
Jamie C is at the Emirates as is Gary Neville, but Jamie has only been used for a short bit prior to the Man Utd game. |

Very much enjoying having Gary Neville back in commentary- his criticism of Moreno is rather entertaining as a neutral to watch.
Unusual team from Sky today-all of their pundits being used. I imagine Carragher is at the Emirates to watch the commentary from Tyler and Neville and learn a bit before his attempt next week. It seems like they've decided to try and maximise him with the occasional thoughts from the gantry and the stupid screen analysis with Geoff Shreeves. I hope that doesn't become a permanent feature- the tiny screen just looked silly and there was little that they could do on it. Shreeves just looked awkward as well. Henry joining them makes sense, although don't know why Sky have created themselves the extra expense by using so many pundits today. I wonder if any of them in the studio will make way for Neville when the game ends. Jones doing well on his SS debut (although MNF is probably his biggest test). I was also very impressed with Simon Thomas yesterday, I rate him highly. |

Earlier today, Patrick Davidson was using a Premier League branded microphone to interview Jose Mourinho whereas Geoff Shreeves is using a Sky Sports one to interview Jurgen Klopp.

I would be pretty pleased if today served as the template for Super Sunday over the course of the season - it had a real 'big game' feel to it and I thought the extra analysis pieces with Carragher worked well.
Credit to David Jones as well, he has been excellent. |

I think crossing to Carragher infrequently during commentary worked well. It was certainly preferable to BT's three-man effort.
