No, the international version of Football Focus ended at the end of the 2016/17 season and the version of Final Score at the end of the 2014/15 season.

BBC Sport seemingly having problems with push notifications for Formula 1, as results for practice, qualifying and race sessions from the very early races in this season just got sent out for no reason, despite already previously having been pushed at the time. At least i know how a race ended that i already watched xD

EDIT: seems to just be going through every race from start of season to present, in bursts. Not sure if this is impacting any other sport, but kinda funny ig….

It's dam annoying lol. Have you got F1 as a favourite sport like me, or is that irrelevant?

Yeah, i’ve mine set as a favourite/my sport, but it only happened on F1. Didn’t seem to spam me with push notifications for either Snooker or Tennis, which i have similarly marked as favourite, so not sure if it was just an F1 thing or not lol.

After all these years, the ITV 2006 graphics are finally dead as ITV's snooker coverage has new graphics today. Not sure why blue and black are the dominant colours rather than the greens used on the generic football graphics and the ITV Sport logo, but overall looks quite nice. I think this is the recently intorduced font used on the ITV website, programme trailers etc.?

With Jill Douglas based in France during the Rugby World Cup, Rishi Persad is leading the coverage this week from Cheltenham. The ITV snooker coverage is generally excellent, but one gripe I do have is the lack of multi-table coverage that is standard with the BBC and Eurosport (there's four tables playing this afternoon). You'd hope with the advent of ITVX this would become a possibility, but as of yet it does not look it will happen.

PS Nice touch that the trophy is the Clive Everton Trophy after his lengthy commentary tenure with the BBC and latterly ITV, and his work as editor of the Snooker Scene magazine, that he stepped down from last September.

ITV sport graphics seem to be all over the place it's in desperate need of a unified approach.

Especially when it comes to using capitals throughout (darts), minuscules throughout, or a compromise thereof.
