Cleaner but not better.
They have also remove assist makers from the top of the football pages.

But, I think more foreign matches ar getting detailed pages compared to recent years, like below.

You mean the match between Altrincham and Gateshead that is very clearly displayed on the BBC Sports Football results page as 'Cancelled'?

I think they meant the play-off match between Alfreton and Boston from the league below. It appears on the Sky Sports website, but rather unhelpfully fails to say the result of the penalty shoot-out! Full result is on Google and the likes of SofaScore below.

No I mean the match the poster below you was talking about. Not great from the BBC to be honest

Big changes incoming to the Cymru Premier in two years time - some of which may impact Sgorio coverage.

The expectation is it will expand from twelve clubs though the FAW are holding off announcing the actual structure until September.

Matchdays will move to a a Friday night in an effort not to compete with the Premier League or the EFL - though in reality, around half of all games are already played on a Friday (and of the games S4C pick up, they're usually non-linear)

There are also plans to bring in a scaled-down 'VAR Lite' system, once facilities are in place.

For what it's worth, the much-promised shake-up seems a bit light on detail and rather underwhelming to the average fan - at least at first - but I'm curious as to where that will leave Sgorio in the future.

I doubt S4C would want its Friday night schedule to be predominantly taken up by a live game most weeks and would rather opt for a later slot in the weekend - but again, the trend has been more towards non-linear matches on their part in the past few years (and often attracting minuscule viewing figures)

It's a bit of a dilemma as the overall goal is more exposure to the league and, as Rob Phillips put it in his BBC article, 'some love'. From first impressions, I suspect it might end up with less exposure.

The men's Scottish Cup final now locked in at 3pm on May 25th, with confirmation that BBC One Scotland will not show the FA Cup final.

Also on the same day, the Women's Champions League final will take place in Bilbao with a 5pm BST kick-off. Last year was a 3pm kick-off clashing with the FA Cup final and subsequently DAZN weren't able to sublet rights to a FTA outlet, but two years ago, with no clash, the final was also shown on ITV 4. Think the turnaround might be too tight for ITV 4 this year, but BBC Two a possibility - especially with Chelsea having one foot in the final.

I feel like had Chelsea and/or Arsenal made it to last year’s UWCL final someone would have sublet it even with the FA cup clash.
