Peterborough United v Bury (Sky Sports 1)
Commentators:Gary Weaver and Garry Birtles. Reporter: David Craig Some tight scheduling by Sky today. Coverage of this game ended precisely 2 minutes after the final whistle to move onto the live rugby. I don't know what they would have done if the game had a long injury delay or something... |

Saturday 8th October - Channel 5
Football on 5: Goal Rush Lynsey Hipgrave presented alongside Nathan Jones and Adam Virgo Peterborough United v Bury - Gary Weaver and Garry Birtles, with David Craig conducting interviews (as Sky Sports) Swindon Town v Bolton Wanderers - Paul Walker League One and Two round-ups - Alex Gordon-Martin, Faye Carruthers, Matt Williams and Oliver Wilson There was a new name to the Football on 5 reporting ranks in Oliver Wilson, as he was captioned, although he's perhaps better known as Olly Wilson as he's referred to on talkSPORT where he's a regular match reporter on their football coverage, primarily based in London. He's also done the odd commentary for BT Sport on their European league football coverage. No George Riley this week, as he was at Old Trafford to commentate on the Super League Grand Final for BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra. So the international break came at a good time to that end. |

They didn't take use commentary exerts on their edit of ITV4's live game from Thursday, Italy v Spain. |

Saturday 8th October - Channel 5
Football on 5: Goal Rush Lynsey Hipgrave presented alongside Nathan Jones and Adam Virgo Since we've now had a complete round of international fixtures, here are all the home nations together in one post... Austria vs Wales - Introduced by Simon Thomas with Jack Collison and Dean Saunders, commentary by Bill Leslie and Barry Horne Ireland vs Georgia - Introduced by Pete Graves with Niall Quinn, commentary by Rob Hawthorne and Ray Houghton England vs Malta - Introduced by Mark Pougatch with Lee Dixon, Ryan Giggs and Ian Wright, commentary by Clive Tyldesley and Glenn Hoddle Scotland vs Lithuania - Introduced by David Tanner with Neil McCann and Alex McLeish, commentary by Ian Crocker and Davie Provan Northern Ireland vs San Marino - Introduced by Graham Little with Gerry Taggart, commentary by Daniel Mann and Gerry Armstrong And the weekend's domestic football... Peterborough vs Bury - Introduced by George Gavin with Peter Beagrie and Jack Collison, commentary by Gary Weaver and Garry Birtles Tranmere vs Wrexham - Introduced by Matt Smith with Kevin Davies and Dean Saunders, commentary by Steve Bower and Adam Virgo The Football League on Sky Sports - Introduced by George Gavin with Ian Holloway, Oxford vs Wimbledon commentary by Rob Palmer and David Prutton, Franchise vs Port Vale commentary by Gary Weaver and Danny Higginbotham Quite impressive that Steve Bower is happy to continue his association with the Conference and do as many matches as he can when he's available (unlike Mark Clemmit packing it in completely when the majority began to clash with his other work). Not sure if Adam Summerton is so impressed with being asked to stand down every time a bigger name is available. Like Wilf McGuinness to Bower's Matt Busby, always in the shadow of his predecessor. |

Busy day for Adam Virgo, having been at Tranmere earlier on. The sound was completely out of sync for the vast majority of this programme, it looked like there was a massive breakdown during the first ad break, leading to a load of blank screen, and when it came back the sound was out of sync for the rest of the show. I wondered if it was my box for a bit until I checked other channels. Happened on SD and HD too.

What a poor co-commentator Barry Horne is.
Talk about being bias. If that was Glenn Hoddle on about England he would get tons of stick. |
