First the BT Box, now a spilt-screen of mangers reacting to a goal on Sky...

Well, there was another example of this on Sky a few years back in the European U21 Championships, when Tyler and Smith failed to notice an England goal had been disallowed, and it took a good few minutes until they realised - although in that case the host broadcasters' graphics and the stadium scoreboard also changed. But again, you'd think they'd have noticed they hadn't kicked off.

I don't think any of that tops the moment in the FA Cup a few seasons ago when Ipswich played West Ham, I think, and the Ipswich players spent so long celebrating a disallowed goal, West Ham scored while they were doing it.
The most notable example of that sort of thing happening, of course, was when Sol Campbell "scored" in extra time in the England v Argentina France '98 match - and the England team were so busy celebrating thinking they'd won the match with a golden goal that Argentina went straight up the other end and nearly scored.Quote:
In Des Lynam's book, he talks about when he accidentally referred to a match as being on BBC2 instead of ITV2 - when he was on ITV, obviously - and after the show there was a massive post-mortem about it, Des saying "You would have thought I had defamed the Queen, replete with four letter words". But he says that nobody actually pointed it out when he said it, the director didn't say anything in his earpiece, and he said they'd done that he could have corrected himself and made a joke about it, but he remained totally oblivious to the whole thing.
I remember Darren Fletcher trailing an upcoming match early on in his BT Sport career by saying "coming up on Sky Sports..."I suppose the key thing is determining which mistakes can be written off because it's live TV and everybody makes mistakes and which are serious enough to warrant being addressed afterwards. The instance you mention with Lynam was clearly one of the former but I wouldn't readily put Hawthorne and Quinn's today in the same category. |

Sky's coverage today has been appalling, They didn't even discuss the disallowed goal at half time and had so many adverts they had no time to.

The Ipswich celebration was brilliant, it was a proper dance routine they'd clearly spent time on, and it went on for ages, in front of increasingly bemused fans. I've tried to find it on YouTube. Quote:

It was against us (the Ipswich "goal" celebration.
Remember they outplayed us with 10 men but we nicked it late on! |

I seem to recall he did that twice - remarkable when he's never worked for them. A bit like on the first Football League Tonight when George Riley referred to it as "Football On Five Live", or when Simon Mayo repeatedly reads out the Five Live text number on Radio 2, and vice versa.

Just to say, by the way, I don't think they even use the BT Box anymore. I didn't see it at all during the Liverpool match, and I think the only time I ever see it is during the pitchside interviews on the Conference coverage, where it doesn't have the "BT Box" branding either. So seemingly that's now gone for a burton as a proper thing. |

Post-match analysis will be from Graeme Souness, Thierry Henry and Gary Neville in the studio. Carragher will offer his thoughts from the gantry.

Super Sunday have joined the F1 build-up coverage going in-vision to Martin Brundle (that race coming up after Sky go off air at Stamford Bridge).
Do feel Sky have gone a bit overboard in promoting other shows/coverage today. Alongside the usual 'games coming up' during the game and the 'The Flash on Sky 1' etc. type promotion,heading into breaks there's also been tickers come up twice a half to direct to UHD services. Add in the F1 build-up stuff and it's all a bit much. Have to say too while I see what they were trying to do with the Carragher gantry analysis post-match, it does look slightly odd him sitting there in the dark with stadium staff working away in the background. That said the actual coverage by Sky has been on the whole enjoyable and the commentary did the game justice. |

Some details have already been kindly posted in advance. 100% confirmation:

I would assume both have been involved for the 2 games earlier on as well. Commentators - Rob Palmer and Terry Gibson |

It seems to me that nowadays on Sky more or less the entire half time is taken up with adverts, especially since they have started having a quick 3rd break for 1 advert just before the 2nd half starts.
they need to get every money back they overpaid for an average domestic league |

Of course, this is the best example of a team celebrating a goal they didn't realise had been disallowed ![]() ![]() ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4Z_j1hF1EQ |

Steve Bower seemed to spot the disallowed Man City goal straight away on MOTD, I was listening out for an obvious edit but seemingly it was all live. I don't think Sky made any mention of it at all after, did they? Quote:
As an Ipswich fan, I had forgotten all about this but it was against Watford and they didn't actually score directly from that. I think Watford broke away and almost scored, but didn't. It was a game that finished 1-0 and they didn't get the goal until right at the end. The disallowed goal and rather extravagant celebration happened much earlier in the game.

I've finally found an easy way to watch MOTD/MOTD2 which is good.
Steve Wilson sounded very good yesterday, obviously a good (or big) game helped but performances like that do make me wonder why he isn't number one on the Beeb. Not sure what opportunities are likely to come up but if I was a TV station director and needed a new commentator, it's Steve who I would hire. |
