McCann and Walker for sure. It will be if either are in the commbox, or if they draft in Provan.
Football Commentators Thread (Part 19)
47 of 170
Anyone watching West Bromwich Albion v Delhi Dynamos on Sikh Channel (Sky 829). No commentator and the quality is VHS to say the least.
Saturday 3rd September - Channel 5
Football on 5
George Riley and Lynsey Hipgrave presented alongside Steve Morison and Ritchie Humphreys
Peterborough United v Swindon Town - Gary Weaver and Garry Birtles, with Jonathan Oakes conducting interviews (as Sky Sports)
Notts County v Grimsby Town - Paul Walker
League One and Two round-ups - Dan Mason, Dave Beckett, Sue Thearle, Jack Woodward and Jonathan Beck
Millwall forward Steve Morison talked over the action from their game at home to Bradford City, while Chesterfield's Ritchie Humphreys voiced the edit of their match at AFC Wimbledon.
With Millwall v Bradford arguably being the game of the day, I was expecting that match to feature prominently - instead it got perhaps the most casual talking over of any game on the show. I know I say it all the time, but I really don't like these pundits-speak-over-the-goals edits. Given how they had an hour timeslot, I don't see why they couldn't have given those two games an proper voiceover edit and then had the studio pundits analyse second showings of the key moments, as they did with other games. This is really my only issue with Football on 5 though, as aside from this aspect of the show I think it's a strong programme that I have no other qualms with.

A question for those watching in 4K/Ultra HD...
Are BT Sport 4K UHD and Sky Sports Ultra HD actual standalone channels or are they only accessible via menus/red button or something similar? e.g. if you are watching a match on Sky Sports 1 that is also available in UHD, does it have something in the corner of the screen saying 'available in Ultra HD' or something?
Also, is the Sky version known as Sky Ultra HD or Sky Sports Ultra HD? For example, the short-lived Sky 3D channel used to cater for all kinds of things, not just sporting events - hence why it wasn't called Sky Sports 3D.
Many thanks.

BT is it's own standalone channel.
Sky have implemented differently and the UHD feed is accessible via the Red Button or EPG menu. The channel dog states Sky Sports 1 Live in Ultra HD, it isn't branded Sky Sports UHD.
Really weird to UEFA produce the graphics for the World Cup qualifiers which is a FIFA event, feels like EURO 2016 never happened.

The World Cup is a FIFA event, but the European qualifiers are a UEFA tournament.

Ah ok thanks for clearing it up.
World Cup 2018 Qualifiers (Sky Sports 1 Red Button):
Kazakhstan v Poland - Tony Jones (as previously posted)
Not sure who is doing Denmark v Armenia (possibly Mike Sewell?), and I also cannot put the name to the voice on San Marino v Azerbaijan.

The graphics are missing the Red Card indicator, which now appears to be a standard.

I believe Tyler and Smith will be Sky's England commentators for pretty much all their campaign, I think this was announced at the first training session live on Sky Sports News HQ.
David Provan is co-commentator for tonight's Scotland game, he has been shown in-vision pre-match.

I am lost here. Simon Brotherton and ? are commentating on FS2 in the United States and I assume that is the World Feed.
Bill Leslie is the sole commentator on Malta v Scotland for Fox Soccer Plus.
