I like the virtual pitch, for example, but could well do without having a ref in the commentary box, especially, Mark Halsey, who has been pretty dreadful. I do, however, really like the DOG location. I think it allows consistency across their programming - for instance when they're showing foreign football which comes with it's own branding stamped in the top left corner - and it allows them to show the picture in picture box which means the main view is always the main action, which I think is absolutely excellent.

They just need to add some diverse sports rights to their portfolio. At times there is a lack of anything to watch.

Just a call to CS, I asked if there were any offers on Sky Sports, got put on hold for 2 mins, and was offered half price for 3 months. This was after BT Sport arrived on VM :)

Good to know. People jumping to conclusion.

BT need to get rid of Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves, Steve McManaman. they are unbelievably crap. i find it hard to understand why Sky pundits get a hard time when these guys havent got a clue. its soo bad it makes the bias pundits on the BBC look good.

Yes MO is definitely a load of rubbish but many of Sky's pundits are no better as generally ex footballers do not make for good viewing on TV and l myself would prefer one or two of the more articulate journalist's from Fleet Street in preference to these uneducated idiots.

I'm watching tonight and Owen is having a poor game - he's been a lot better from the bits I've seen of BT's Premier League coverage.

Agree completely, they are so busy trying not to offend their playing friends, they are pitiful.:(
