MOTD on iPlayer is an interesting development. Though I've probably got loads on series link that I haven't even touched so prolly won't be that useful. But yeah, previously the rights would not be allowed for the Saturday games for whatever reason.

Wembley to trial cliché-detecting technology
A NEW type of predictable pundit platitude software is to be tested at England’s forthcoming game against Belgium.
If successful, the technology could drastically reduce how often people at home scream at their television whilst frantically looking for the remote control.
Developer Tom Logan said: “We’ve produced an algorithm that recognises key consonant clusters such as ‘giving the manager some difficult choices’ and ‘schoolboy error’ as well as raised pitch whenever Rooney gets the ball in the assumption he’s going to score.
“It’s worked well in trials but every time we plug it into Clive Tyldesley it keeps exploding.”
The software works by cutting off shopworn phrases within the first three syllables by emitting a loud burst of white noise.
It will not be ready in time for the 2012-2013 domestic season, meaning at least another year of the phrase ‘a point to prove’ whenever Manchester United play against City and Logan says that some broadcasters might find the system too expensive to implement.
Logan said: “And yes, I completely mean Channel 5 when I say that. I can create the technology to rid the world Jonathan Pearce but there has to be the financial willingness to do so.”
Future applications for the software include a tannoy system for pubs, which would obliterate the opinions of the man who has sat himself next to you and insists on giving his reasons why Arsenal’s current system isn’t working.
Logan said: “The ultimate challenge will be if England draw Germany in Euro 2012. And it goes to penalties. And Southgate’s in the commentary box. It’ll be like the perfect storm of horseshit.”

Bellamy one of the 3 overage players for Team GB.
Got to think Becks will be there and probably Giggs as well.
Makes a mockery of the whole thing.Quote:

Cardiff have confirmed they will now play in red rather than their traditional blue kit after the club's Malaysian owners formally unveiled a new image for the Welsh side. The switch – which also includes a new crest and takes effect immediately – comes after the club's hierarchy approved the decision at a board meeting.
The club have unveiled three new strips – a red home shirt, a blue away strip, and a third kit, which is mainly black. The new kits bear a redesigned badge, incorporating a main image of a dragon, with a small bluebird inserted underneath, and carrying the slogan "Fire and Passion".
In addition, the club have announced plans to build a new training ground, pay off their debt with the Langston company, provide the manager Malky Mackay with a substantial kitty, and explore the possibility of expanding the Cardiff City Stadium.
The move came less than a month after the club's chairman Dato Chan Tien Ghee said the proposal to change to red shirts had been dropped due to "vociferous opposition" after the plans were leaked.
In an open letter to fans, the chairman said then: "We have no desire to cause offence or for people to think we have no respect for the club or its history as it would appear has been suggested in various quarters including by local assembly members."
He continued: "In the light of the vociferous opposition by a number of the fans to the proposals being considered ... we will not proceed with the proposed change of colour and logo and the team will continue to play in blue at home for the next season with the current badge."
Today, the Cardiff chief executive, Alan Whiteley, said: "This is a major and significant financial commitment and we are grateful to our investors for their continued confidence in this football club. Concerning the commitment to developing the crest and to switch our primary colour to red, as directors – and as fans in our own right – we recognise that there is a history and commitment that goes with supporting Cardiff City and we are conscious and proud of the loyalty, bond and passion so many share for this club.
"At the same time, we also have to be prepared to be realistic and progressive. Sometimes in difficult economic times and challenging market conditions, in order to attract investment to survive and progress, brave, bold and compelling decisions and sacrifices need to be taken and made. By securing this investment we can safeguard the immediate and long-term future of this club."
But he added: "We are only too aware that the change of colour is a radical and some would say revolutionary move which will be met with unease and apprehension by a number of supporters, along with being seen as controversial by many. To those I would like to say that this was not a decision that has been taken lightly or without a great deal of thought and debate.
"There is no getting away from the fact that history and traditions are the lifeblood of any club and as such should be jealously guarded and preserved. Both the board and our investors fully understand and respect this and will do their utmost to uphold, protect and promote the values and virtues which the club stands for.
"However, the changes are believed to be vital to enable the club to progress to the next stage in its development and very much in the club's best long term interests."
