The early Sunday game:

Spanish La Liga - Alaves v Malaga:

World Feed - Paul Giblin




I think it was just the match only with no interviews, the Pre-Season Friendly between Juventus and Tottenham.

And, there was a local reporter inside the stadium conducting interviews for NK Domzale v West Ham, for which BT Sport used. I don't think we found out his name!

It's all about quota filling. Each team has a minimum and maximum number of appearances in each time slot. This was an opportunity to use up a Burnley game in the Sunday 4pm slot. For the neutral it was an entertaining game, and the studio guests were relevant to the teams playing.

Good old 'Arry Redknapp really is a media prostitute, he is literally everywhere, he must be the most used pundit across all the channels.

Sory for the mix up, I did say I believe however even though that is no excuse.

My fresh set of queries are as follows:

Borussia Dortmund v Manchester City - 28/07/2016 - Sky
This has David Jones down as being the presenter, with Tyler and Provan commentating on the match. If there was a presenter, would there not have been a guest as well? If so, who? Also, was there a reporter? This game was being played in China...

Bristol Rovers v Cardiff City - 11/08/2016 - Sky
Full lineup is complete apart from the reporter. Anyone know who it was?

Dunfermline Athletic v St Mirren - 24/09/2016 - BBC ALBA
Anyone know who presented this? Alex O'Henley commentated. I'm guessing just a presenter and commentator was the full extent of the lineup?


Thanks. I had actually managed to find out all of this apart from Luke Shanley, so ta very much.


Cheers again.

Bayer Leverkusen v Spurs youth- Dan O'Hagan

Phil Blacker's diary looks like this:
Tues Oct 18th at 19.45 - Sporting v Borussia Dortmund for UEFA world feed
Weds Oct 19th at 19.45 - Barcelona v Manchester City for UEFA,com Matchday Live radio commentary
Thurs Oct 20th at 20.05 - Manchester United v Fenerbahce for UEFA world feed
Sat Oct 22nd at 15.00 - Swansea City v Watford for Sky Sports Match Choice and world feed
Sun Oct 23rd at 12.35 - Guangzhou Evergrande v Yanbian Funde for Sky Sports 4

David Jones with Jamie Carragher and Ryan Giggs for Liverpool v Man Utd tonight. Commentary from Tyler and Neville.

Presentation is on-site, but they've got the touchscreen table with them (a la "The Last Word" when Andy Gray would do his MNF-style analysis after Super Sunday).

To answer my own questions, reporter at Bristol was Guy Havord (answer was within this thread as it happens) and Calum Macaulay confirmed as the presenter for the Dunfermline match.

I wonder if Neville will join them before leaving to the gantry halfway through.

It might get a bit crowded in the relatively small studio.

The article last week did say Neville would be in the studio pre and post match. Looks like MNF is finishing early again tonight which is a shame.

This did seem a rare chance to do a traditional MNF set-up - we've only really had the Chelsea v West Ham one in the who,e of 2016 though some might argue the ones with Phil Neville and Souness also followed this.

Unsurprisingly, Darren Fletcher will commentate on both matches between Man City and Barcelona http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/R...ampions-League

Steve McManaman is the co-commentator.

So, according to the Data Hub, for clarification:

David Jones presenting from Anfield, joined in the studio by Jamie Carragher, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, with Geoff Shreeves reporting.

Commentators - Martin Tyler and Gary Neville

"Red Monday" — what nonsense.

Red Monday.. Same blue graphics and studio.

Really like that they have brought the Skypad with them though.

Also BT Sport is hosting the draw for the FA Cup first round with Hipgrave, Ince & James. Is that the first time under this contract that BT Sport has hosted a draw?

Eilidh Barbour presenting from the studio, joined by Kevin Kilbane, Jason Ainsley (Spennymoor Town manager) and Andrew Morris (Westfields chief-executive)

Draw Presenter - Lynsey Hipgrave (from BT Sport Studios)
Draw Guests - Paul Ince (H) and David James (A)

If anyone has the BT Sport 1 details, feel free to add them

I believed BT used the draw team throughout.

Italian Serie A - Palermo v Torino:

BT Sport 1 - Jon Champion and Stewart Robson



Spanish La Liga - Eibar v Osasuna:

Sky Sports 2 - Kevin Keatings and Garry Birtles

Liverpool v Manchester United - world feed - Peter Drury and Jim Beglin

Sky could not of wished for a worse game than that of tonight, poor game and i have to say Tyler and Neville were well below par as well.

Tyler doing his usual trying to joke with Neville and at times completly talking about anything and everything apart from the game itself.

Neville is good on decent games but not tonight, game to forget for all concerned.

Anyone else quietly amused that Sky's embarrassingly OTT hype was followed by a game as poor as that?

Could you possibly draw a conclusion as to what would be said if this had been on BT with all the hype early on?

Greatly amused to be honest - especially them then almost trying to defend the hype afterwards.

Sky's overhype of certain games has really started to grate on me recently - especially with the 'Red Monday' branding for this game (though Jose v Pep earlier this season was little better).It's only October for goodness sake.

I mean Sky have done nicknames like 'Grand Slam Sunday' before but at least that's always seemed a bit tongue in cheek.

Tonight wasn't Sky's finest hour to be honest. The match didn't help but the coverage wasn't great.
The commentary seemed to ramble a lot, I've not been impressed by Giggs whenever I've seen him and the Jones line at the end about a 'Mourinho Masterclass' was awful and almost felt as if it were to justify the OTT hype beforehand.

Have to say too recently MNF really isn't much of a 'review of the weekend's action' when I've seen it these days.

One for us Scots! Sky have ditched the 30 minute 'world feed' SPFL highlights show it seems and replaced it with a 15 minute of their own. I don't know if that is just from this week or a few weeks ago. Sky did show the SPFL produced one last time I seen it earlier in the season.

The Sky SPFL roundup Introduced by Rory Hamilton with a voiceover. He also did a dubbed commentary over the Celtic-Motherwell & Inverness-Rangers games. He and Charles Paterson narrated the other four games.

The SPFL produced show is still on BT Sport. I have to say it has been given a '90s' graphics style look and a 'refresh' this season and it is dreadful. New voiceover on it too and basically no commentary edits bar any live UK TV games. Dunno if Sky have patched it for it being underpar this year. The Sky effort is pretty slick, maybe wish it was a bit longer though.
