FA CUP - Ladbrokes man on ESPN ...

33/1 that ITV's coverage drops off air

ITV Sport's graphics are looking a lot better today

Anyone know if these are exclusive to the FA Cup Final?

The commentators have clearly got a bet going - Graham Norton getting inside Drogba, moist month and a Suarez reach around?

Anyone else see those adverts with old football clips and the old 89-style ITV Sport logo in the corner, linking to itv.com/dreams?

If you have not travelled that far outisde the UK then you will not realise that the Premier League IS called the EPL by many countries - in their newspapers, television output etc. In fact Sport1, in The Netherlands, promote Premier League games, in their listings as EPL (e.g. 15:00 EPL - Bolton Wanderers v West Bromwich Albion).


To differentiate it from other Premier Leagues, perhaps. But it is not the official name. Get over it.


Well the official name is the Barclays Premier League and it's consistent on all channels including the world feed, in the past there was inconsistency with the world feed producers broadcasting it as the Barclays English Premier League with the uk broadcasters declaring it as the Barclays Premiership, anyhow that's the past it's all consistent and properly branded now.

Sky Sports have unveiled new cricket graphics, a hideous white coloured scoreboard which is even bigger now taking up almost a quarter of the screen, it dosent even animate properly (theres a stutter in the emblems) and the transition out seems to skip a frame off the animation. Crying or Very sad

Presentation again nothing new it's the usual tiresome Sky Sports presentation with an aging team, I guess it dosent help that more then half the ground was empty.

The ECB/Sky deal is much discussed, but it's not doing the broadcasting of cricket in this country any favours with it all being done by one broadcaster as there simply isn't the incentive there really for Sky to innovate.

Does anyone know why BBC Alba doesn't use the standard BBC Sport graphic package when covering the Pro 12 Rugby?

They probably just think the ones they created work better.

Don't forget BBC Sport Scotland also use it's own graphics for football.
