Why? Don't they know when the kick off is? Every flipping time the first min or so is lost so tardy are they. Love to know if its policy and if so on who's orders.

They squeeze in an ad break before going to the match.

The presenter, who just so happens to be the station's sports editor, would be the person responsible I'd imagine.

Is it not because they are using the Radio 5 feed and have no control over it?

They tend to use a feed from "Permiership Radio" more often and Radio 5 Live are usually on-air for the kick off of the match.

If the game kicks off at 5 then it'd probably have the most listeners at 5 so it makes commercial sense to stick an advert in at that time.

I believe that they have little control over the timing from Premiership Radio though, but I wouldn't let that fly as an excuse.

It does come across as a bit unprofessional IMO.
