Bye Bye Setanta.....

Oh what a shame.... serves them right for overcharging for rubbish games.

I used to use subscribe to Sky Premiership Plus, but at the yearly fee of about £50 if yoiu signed early in the season. But there was no way I was going to pay £12/month just for the games that they had Twisted Evil

Kiss of death was when I saw Argos selling Setanta set-top boxes for £24.99 at the weekend..... Beware all those who dabble with freeview premium services.

I used to feel left out by not having Setanta so now I dont feel too bad.


TBH they got too big too quick IMHO ...... maybe they'll go back to doing what they did best in the 80's and 90's which was bringing coverage of games like the quarter finals of the Mayo county hurling championships and so on to irish pubs across the globe from Paddy Magintys of Juno, Alaska to PJ O'Briens in Melbourne Australia and all the hovels in between:thumbsup: ......... dem were d days

Bodsy,

Setanta has been a life blood for people who follow Blue Square football..................

It doesnt affect just the big money big boys.......

I think "life blood" and "football" might be over-egging it a tad. It's only a ferkin game! As if we don't have enough petty tribalism in the UK, we have to align ourselves with football teams as an excuse to hurl abuse Rolling Eyes

Ok, too much caffeine this afternoon I think Evil or Very Mad
