Not neccessarily, although it'll likely pick up a further 23 games, the other 23 could go anywhere.

Now is definetly the time for them to enter the market, although I wouldn't mind seeing 23 games on BBC/ITV.

Give me Setanta anyday over ITV, 23 more oppurtunities for David Pleat to spout shit and that Tyldsley idiot to come with cliche after cliche, no thanks!

How many subscribers will cancel Setanta now? I am seriously considering it, but have ESPN America for the MLB which is part of their package.

Not me, I love me Blue Square footy and also Gaelic footy and Hurling are ACE.

Get it free on Virgin anyway so just hope Racing UK is ok and don't have to pay for that.

Good. Hopefully Sky do too.

So there's no Football on TV.

I can dream.

hurling is the BEES KNEES - i thank f*** for setanta every morning when i wake up for introducing me to it

 

[RM-Taylor]

Now been revealed that Setanta also owe the tax man £50,000,000 and the scheduled takeover is now not happening. I doubt they'll survive the weekend.

Hopefully someone comes in and takes the rights off them for the SPL and BSP as it would be awful to see teams go into financial problems due to the massive over-spending of a company which wasn't likely to succeed due to its competition.

Greyhounds.

Get ready to put bets on Umar Gul to be the leading wicket taker in the 2020, then get told it won't happen cause he was shit in the warm ups

England and FA Cup games now very likely to be going aswell, which I suppose is rather good news
