I think you will find it was ITV who did the ice skating - for the purposes of complete accuracy of course.

Which NSC poster has the username " radish" ?
I agree a very poor show. I will be recording this in the future and edit out the garb which will reduce the show to approx 30 mins.
For those who enjoyed it, it's repeated on Spike after the premiership highlights.

This is what I think they were aiming for, a Soccer AM themed show, but what they ended up with was more like Eurotrash!

Recorded it this morning and just watched the first 40 mins, had to turn it off absolutely appalling show. Stop start, one league to another then back again half the time I didn't know what league was being shown. Virgo was poor and what is the point of the audience? Won't be watching again.

It was on par with the time channel 5 were given an England game and decided to present it in front of a packed room full of former players being dined. Pat Nevin could not be heard over the sounds of clinking plates and glasses (not sure that is a such a bad thing)
Usual shambles for channel 5 who will never understand that less is more when it comes to football shows

It's very very very easy to criticise a new programme when things need to be ironed out
However, that was bloody awful.
The format is confusing, complicated and just needless. I just completely lost track of what league I was watching and then some games they didnt really show a highlights package but just talked over a clip of the goal(s) from the game.
And then an awkward looking audience standing round just undid the work of the presenters who I felt did the best they could in such a horrible format.
The bbcs version was fantastic and I never understood ANYONE who thought it was a poor program. They did a great job.

The thing is it need not be an expensive show.
1. Get host to do links from stadium of main game.
2. Show main game.
3. Show all the rest of the goals with V/O
4. End.

No structure
Virgo awful. He said "as you say" about a million times and in about every sentence
Studio audience as pointless and crap as predicted
Wonderful moment when they tried some audience interaction and realised no one could hear it as the audience member had no mike

Is correct
Watched it today, not great but nowhere near as bad as expected, having read this thread. George Reilly was a 5 Live sports reporter, so more used to radio than TV. The dodgy running order is solely for the benefit of the advertisers and to get people to watch the "Health Lottery" results.
Riley is one of (now quite a few) pisspoor presenters on the (now) woeful 5live, as thick as mince, only interested in Rugby League (and in fairness to him a good commentator on that sport, clued up.)
But football, he's not really interested or knowledgeable.
Classic moment in March 2012 the morning after the extraordinary 3-7 scoreline betwixt Leeds & Forest, he was asked what was that all about? A pro like Colin Murray would have been all night on the threads reading about the game and would have been down the throat of that question...
...the best Riley could muster was "...I dunno. I wasn't there." Priceless.
Dire programme despite the switched-on Cates. Won't be watching again, Sky highlights for me.

One shot of about 10 blokes staring blankly into the camera whilst someone waffled some poo reminded me of a school play or something. Dire.

Get the fans out of the studio.
People might appreciate Rosenior and Claridge more now.

I was watching him too. Also was gurning and grinning a bit. Had either been on the marching powder or was not the full ticket .

Where do we go from here?
This thread does the show a real disservice. It wasn't that bad, and better than the BBC offering. The non-linear approach, with features thrown in, made it much more interesting than the tired BBC offering. They didn't help themselves by involving Virgo and that orient manager much too heavily, both of whom were awful. Presumably they can cut down on that in future.
They don't have claridge, which is great. And Kelly is AMAZING. All in all, not a bad effort.
