Still bemused about the logo business... sorry it annoys people but I really don't notice it. Odd.

I have to agree Doug I really do not notice it when I am watching BT sport.

I've just finished my first full Premier League match on bt sport. I still like the logo placement. I have, however, spent many years wondering what the point of Mark Halsey is. I've still no idea!

I've no problem with the concept, just cannot understand the point of somebody who isn't prepared to even consider the possibility that the ref has made a mistake. In the studio were Warnock and McManaman (both former wingers, fwiw), who believed that the ref had made a mistake. The replays showed that the ref had made a mistake. There was even video footage of the official closest to the incident saying that he was unable to call it. And yet Halsey was so reluctant to come out against Moss that even Warnock was lost for words. By all means have a ref in the commentary box - I like the fact that bt are trying to innovate - but using somebody who has zero credibility (check my posts - I was saying the same during Fulham v. Arsenal, this isn't just because of today) just defeats the object. Which is a shame.

An update on Premier Sports.

In response to a tweet asking if they were about to appear on VM in the near future:

@south_stander @virginmedia funny you ask. They rejected us again 2 weeks ago and I think that is us done with negotiations.

@south_stander @virginmedia we wanted We wanted 0.3% of what they just paid BT!

and later

@south_stander @virginmedia it has to be SKY or the Premier Player I am afraid. Virgin are not for turning.

I think that just about puts that to bed.

My math isn't that great how much of 70mill is 0.3%?

Ok just googled, £210000 if the 70 mill was accurate.

Surely the NHL coverage is worth that alone?

BT Sport's arrival has just about finished any chance of Premier Sport on VM imo....

I agree Harry , with the launch of Sky Sports Ashes I wonder whether we could see similar events having a dedicated named channel with subscription options for those only interested in that particular event rather than the current situation of taking a full Sky Sports sub.

I see that the BT Sport DOG has changed, now lost its colour.
