The Sport Thread

Hope you're all comfortable on your really big sofa for BT Sport Score...

I think this set might be a little bit too big for this kind of programme.

3pm game for Ireland being presented from what seems to be the Game of the Day set. Oddly they didn't run full titles before it, just the break sting.

The Premier League's on screen graphics...

A bit of extra gloss effect aside, no changes to Soccer Saturday graphics. There is a slight error where the some of the text from the bottom-right info box appears under the vidiprinter as it animates off, though.

Final Score graphics as ugly as ever. Did think there was a small chance football might move away from yellow with BBC Sport getting less generic in recent months. Look even uglier compared to what BT have debuted this afternoon.

All that money and the PL couldn't get better on screen graphics.

It looks like they limited themselves to the colours in the highlighter tool in Word:

Does this development mark the beginning of the end for Generic Telly Chairs?

Even the studio for Matchday Live has gone backwards it looks like they are presenting from a basement rather then the previous futuristic studio, what have IMG and PLP done

I can get used to the graphics but the old ones were so much better.

Well, don't know how interesting this is but I'll post it anyway: Sky are going with the full, four letter word of 'HULL' for their scoreboard whereas the BBC are using the traditional three letter abbreviation, so it's 'HUL'.
