I like them, better than the old set, but is there any need for a map? I'm sure most people know in what area the grounds are in!

I like the graphics - very stylish, but sadly, overall it's more style than substance in my opinion and they're now giving out less info than they were before. This is my view on it all..... (sorry im being a bit negative!)

Arrow Why can't they put all the scores on the left like they used to rather than that annying ticker? They can put them in the space where that daft map is. When there isn't a report, put Ray in the box on the right. It was so much easier to read and find your team that way. Also there's no way of knowing what's a result and what's latest from the ticker - before it was colour coded.
Arrow The graphic for reports dosen't show the scorers anymore - i don't know why - there's room for them.
Arrow There's no noise from the vidiprinter anymore, which is really annoying. When you heard that noise i would always look down so i could see, now you always miss the scores coming in because there's no noise.
Arrow That set's just horrible - i know it's not new but i hate it - it just looks like a horrible mess. They should try and use the other set with the desk as much as possible just to get away from that.
Arrow And finally after getting used to the excellent pundits in the World Cup it was rather horrible having to listen to Gary Pallister and Carlton Palmer. I mean Ray asked Gary 'who do you think will impress in League 1 and 2?' Gary said 'ooh well urmm.... its difficult to say really.... urmm.. they're wide open.' Rolling Eyes In other words he hadn't got a clue!

The actual look of the graphics i really like - but while improving the way they look they now have less info. My biggest gripe is removing all the scores from the left and putting them in a ticker at the top - a big step backwards in my opinion.

Sportscene in Scotland has updated the graphics aswell. They look very similar to what they were before but the animations have been updated as well as the background which is now static.

I think they've still got the old BBC Sport graphics package however. Live games are fully updated however.

Any caps of Final Score?

Clear Graphics, very bold and I like them.

The UK Map Graphics are a great addition to it.

Why?? I want to know the scores not where Birmingham is. I mean did anyone actually think last season 'what this programme is missing is a map which tells me where Birmingham City are'. It's style over substance - it looks nice but sadly it adds no useful info. And what was useful - the scores by division on the left hand side have all gone.

A lot of the changes are done just for the sake of it. For example putting a ticker at the top, rather than the bottom just because they can. Also the 'vidiprinter' is now upside down

Well the vidiprinter's been upside down for a year now.. and there hasn't been a ticker before.

agreed. They've been using that map since World Cup 2002, where it was interesting to see where the stadiums where around Japan and Korea. Now they've spread it across their football output it's rendered pointless.

can't believe anyone chooses to watch this programme over Soccer Saturday anyway.

Generally good, but IMO, the Results and pools are just a tad too small- I had to resort to getting my glasses out. Very Happy

Agreed. I find this a tad flat in comparison with the likes of Jeff Stelling, Chris Kamara, Charlie Nicholas and so on.

Thank god the league season is fnally here!
