Torino v Bologna BBC Alba.
Slightly bizarre to watch Serie A with Gaelic commentary and interjections from Derek Ferguson. Funnily enough the town of Alba in Piedmont is only 20 miles south of Torino.

Bizzare indeed, listening into to an indecipherable language where you have no clue what the person is on about, then it switches to Gaelic.

Coventry v Middlesbrough. Cracking atmosphere. Be nice to see Coventry get back to the big time. They're fans have been through hell in the last 25 years.

Celtic lucky to only be 0-1 down here.
Edit: They scored about two mins after I posted this.

I thought I’d give BBC Alba’s Serie A coverage, another go yesterday. I really wished I hadn’t. I felt as if I had some early on set dementia.
The first problem was the strips. Atalanta appeared to be wearing Inter tops with a former Napoli sponsor Lete on the front. Napoli were wearing white strips. I made myself a coffee, returned to the TV only to find Napoli’s captain being interviewed in English. All good, except their captain appeared to be Lee Griffith.
Thankfully someone had told Derek Ferguson to stop qualifying every sentence with “so it is” or “by the way”. 10mins in, Derek felt the need to randomly wish everyone “good day” in Italian. He actually did it seven times. Only at half time did I realise “Buongiorno” was actually a player!
The ubiquitous half time slot which consists of Gaelic presenter taking Italian journalist for coffee became hilarious with a posse of curious Italians (plus dog) in the foreground trying to figure out what f**king language is this guy is speaking. Someone needs to tell Gaelic presenter that in Italy you order “un caffe”, not espresso (unless you are a culturally vacuous tourist).
The second half coverage was, well largely frozen. Derek managed to say “just incredible” eight times.
