Imagine if BBC got the Premier League games that would­ be awesome as we dont have to get sky sports anymore­ except most derbies are on sky.
I hope they do because­ ITV camera work is shocking.

Hopefully all the rights mentioned in the article will­ be sold. Hopefully the SPL, Blue Square football and­ the England/FA Cup/Comm Shield will be bought by Sky.

Great , I have Setanta in Aus through Foxtel , and I­ pay 14 dollars a week becasue I am interested in Ligue­ 1 and Bundesliga . I wonder what will happen to them in­ Aus.

This is all about the greed issue, 100 million to show­ some football games, Why is it all about getting our­ money?
Footballers are very greedy, compared to the­ players that were playing 20 years ago, they were doing­ the same job, as were the players 60 years ago and they­ were paid not much more than anyone else who had a­ job.
Football used to be a game, now it is only about­ money, Liverpool pay 17 million for an average to good­ player, its complete madness, but it won't stop­ untill people stop putting up with it, stop buying­ shirts, season tickets and paying sky when most of the­ games are shown on the bbc, not the whole game, but the­ best bits, the boring stuff taken out, it was not too­ long ago that the bcc and itv could afford to show live­ England games, along with FA cup games and the top­ division games, but now it has been taken over by sky,­ no other channel gets any games unless sky does not­ want them.

why dont they realise that sky is too big if espn try a­ diet of grid iron basebll etc interspersed with a­ dribble of english games sat nigghts it wont make money­ either.

anybody who pays for any of these channels (sky,­ setanta) are fools as you can find all sporting events­ for free on line. Still it's sad that people are­ loosing there jobs.

there was never a problem with i t v and at least i t v­ is free setanta was just another ripof company i never­ had setanta and now i never will

I guess the special one and "the boy" will be­ off to the dole office now

i had nothing but problems when i used setanta...but­ those were problems caused by the firm not the many­ kind and friendly call centre staff who did their best­ whilst their hands were tied by the procedures etc put­ in place by management.
it is those kind staff who are­ going o be without work that ultimatley pay the price­ for a badly ran business.
good luck to those people in­ finding alternate employment....

atleast wth sky when­ watchin live early mornin boxing from the states they­ dont cut off halfway thru the fight making you continue­ watching on a different channel number.......what was­ that all about lol
good ridance to the firm i say

mike. Although I was not a fan of Setanta as I felt I­ already paid enough to Sky without having to pay more­ for a substandard package I think you have missed a­ vital point....The people who care are the 200 Setanta­ employees now OUT OF WORK because of this....If you are­ lucky enough to still hold a job I would suggest you­ think twice before posting comments like that.

ill buy them
