Goals on Sunday was Rob McCarffey and Kammi (who has been the co-host through all the presenter changes). Then Rob left and replaced by Claire Tomlinson. After the 'c' word incident, she was replaced by temporarly by Paul Boardman, who has seemingly vanished into the Osterley triangle of once regular Sky presenters who just 'dissappear'.
Last season it was Ian Payne before he left, with a few weeks of the season left and I think Dave Jones hosted until bad light and no matches of the season left forced the end of the run.
Anyone watching The Milk Cup on the Red Button. It's like something from the 80s when it comes to graphics and picture quality. It is also weird seeing people standing rather then all-seater grounds that you normally see on TV.

That was probably when the show was at it's best. McCaffrey done a runner to present Premier League coverage in Dubai and sadly the replacements just haven't had the same chemistry with Kamara.
Hopefully Shepard's appointment could be the start of something.
Sky have moved their Football League games to Sky Sports 3. Granted, it's not the highest-profile league, but could this be something to do with Sky Sports 1 and 2 going on BT Vision and Top Up TV?
Wonder who the fifth "interested party" may have been - presumably ITV, BBC, Sky and ESPN would be four of them. Could the fifth be C4, who've suddenly found another £50m for their programming budget today.

Perhaps Mr Desmond opened his cheque book ?
I take it that the RWC is not on the protected free to air list then ?
I wonder who ITV will get to present this time around, not sure it's something for Adrian Chiles ? Perhaps they'll invite Steve Rider back ?
Well he all but has hidden away on ITV4. If he stays with ITV in a lesser role I'd imagine he'd be considered, but although Jim Rosenthal seems somewhat back in favour now, I suspect it would be Craig Doyle and Martin Bayfield as the main team. Wonder if they'll borrow the commentators from Sky again.
It's a shame though that this weekend they are only devoting up to 3.5 hours of coverage on each of the first three days, and 3 hours for the final round. Particularly on Sunday, when in the two hours leading up to the start of the coverage, BBC Two are offering repeats of Monk, Flog It and Escape to the Country. There isn't even any extra coverage on the Red Button.
It would be understandable if there were other major commitments in the schedule, but there aren't. 13 hours of coverage for a major golf championship seems a little slim.
Of course, the exposure that the BBC creates can only be a good thing for women's golf, and the more rights the BBC holds on to the better. However, one can't help feel that if Sky picked up the rights they'd be offering much more extensive coverage.
