Been reported on Talk Sport that Setanta have lost their rights to their package of Premier League football doesn't look to healthy for them

Dont they owe the Premier League almost £40m from this past year? They've got themselves into a right mess with this economic downturn. Shame really because I enjoy Setanta.

1 package of the rights to Sky, the other to Five, ESPN or BBC I reckon.



-----------------------



Hopefully this will get the NRL/Origin/Footy show et al to Sky next year.

My worry with Sky taking over is that they'll go back to the old studio type coverage they had with Warren and Tollett. Whilst it was OK it wasn't a patch on the NRL coverage with Sterlo, Fatty, Gus, Wally and Joey.

Sky would definetly bring back the studio - they do this for all Live Sports Coverage. Hopefully it won't be Tulsen Tollett - who btw I'm amazed to see played for Great Britain!

Setanta btw will continue to broadcast this weekend whilst they consider their options. I would not be surprised if the channel is pulled on Monday and they take administration which would be a p*sser with the Origin Match on Wednesday.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo





Wanna watch Barrett in action.

It might just scrape past Wednesday but the channel will go soon I feel.

Hopefully i'll be able to get it somewhere online if it does fold.

especially with trent playing. would be good to see if he can still cut it at the very highest level. S.O.O surpasses international intensity, would like to see how he goes

We all know that Trent will tear them apart...........again

May not be playing now by all accounts, picked up a knock in training.
