ITV1 football coverage

Given it a 'revamp'. Absolute rubbish. Totally massive club logos, annoying 'swish' noise when graphics animate, unnecessary phrases '(Champions Tuesday'- what is the point?) and also the pundits are giving their analysis on the touchline instead of the studio.

This is only after 10 mins, lets hope there's no more surprises when the match starts.

Well the score graphic has had a revamp. The box in the top left has become a bar. And that 'swish' noise is still there. Will drive me insane that.

You are a bit boring then aint you, like everything plain and unanimated do you? Sounds more exciting to watch.

Yes it's dreadful isn't it? I thought they were labelling it 'Champions Tuesday' for the benefit of the promos only.

The animations look similar to the ones seen on the boxing the other night though.

what a fantastic contribution

I have no problem with the animation, but the massive logos and the 'swhoosh' are very annoying.

That happens on Sly too yet no one complains there.

Scottish TV are exactly the same as usual, covering the Rangers game with the nightmare combination of Archie Macpherson and Andy Walker. Archie must be about 100 years old now, and always seems to be half an hour behind the game.

So it could be worse.

Why are they doing the analysis pitchside? Whats the point of the presenter and studio?

This is awful we don't even get to see sexy Gaby

Classic moment of tempting fate on Scottish:

Rangers 1-0 up. Corner for Porto. Cue Archie: "Rangers must try to keep this goal advantage for as long as possible in this second half." You can probably guess what happened direct from the corner...

All we need is Andy to say "There's only one team going to win this game now".

Having pundits on the touchline is similar to what i've seen German broadcasters do, including the glass screen.

ITV have attempted to make their own CL graphics match similar to UEFA official graphics, but have firstly used the wrong shade of blue so it instead has a greenish tint. The introduction of Ultramotion is welcome, but it's of little use in football due to the way it works.

The Ten out of Ten scorecard should be left to the newspapers.

And finally, the onscreen scorebox is far too big, stretching almost halfway across the screen. Sky's version is incredibly neat and tidy in comparison. And do we need the ITV logo on the scorebox and the ITV2 dog?
