just been on the news and is struggling for income, could effect scottish football clubs, will it effect the NRL ? only caught the last bit

lets hope they go bust nrl could end up back on sky

I agree.

Good! Blo0dy sultana...

I've heard they've been in the mire for a few months now, even desperating themselves to appealing for Daily Mirror readers to have Setanta installed for a month at the charge of £1. Seen a couple of football matches on there and the coverage is crap, so there loss won't be a particularly big one.

NRL coverage on Sky would be good! Silver linning and that

That's not nice. Just think of those that work for Setanta who will lose their jobs. I hope that Setanta somehow survive.

that's what Thatcherism has done to this country, a case of f££K you jack I'm alright, long gone has the thought for other people


bloody nightmare losing your job in this current climate

I workmate told me today that they aren't taking anymore customers

True but people only care when it happens to them, i hope the person who said this suffers the same fate.

Don't think that helps much Al!



People have loyalties and dislikes - for whatever reason. I curse other drivers on the road all the time - they're all rubbish!

- but I don't really mean the individual any harm!































Or do I????

Maybe if posters engaged their brain before posting it would help.


Your right it does not help but a little thought costs nothing.

Indeed so, indeed so!

is that glass half full, or half empty at mo

I would be most grateful if they could hold on until the end of the Origin series, but The Times is reporting that they will go bust today because they can't pay any of the sports they have promised to cover.

Would like to see someone break Sky's monopoly, but unfortunately they don't provide a good product, and it's another subscription on top of Sky, and that's the problem.

Would like to see the NRL on HD rather than the fuzzy-wuzzy telly it's on now.

Its a forum people should be able to post their opinions.

However i realise this forum is for lickers so if you dont agree with the clique on here you get shot down

He did and i disagree, thats two opinions, can you not understand that. Has for cliques and booty lickers well thats your opinion and i respect that.

Can't ever imagine Mopsey being a 'booty licker'!

what clique? why wasn't i invited?

I have no sympathy for any members of the board of this broadcaster, only the people emplyed by them. This is the sign of things to come, and brought on by the greed of football clubs, and their relevant associations.

The broadcasting rights to football are obscene to say the least, and when the only things footballers have to worry about is the colour of their new Lamborghini and the size of their diamond earings, the subscription paying public are having their pants pulled down.

I just hope that Sky do get the NRL, they at least will show more games than Setanta.

Agree, more people out of work, trying to keep pace with obscenity.
The reason I don't have Sky Sports is because 99.9999% of my subs would go to exotic car makers via soccer players.
Shame because Sky could do with having their monopoly broke.
Every damn sport this summer so far appears to be on there.

Personally would be gutted. They have slipped up of late with the NRL coverage only showing 1 game a week but that was to be sorted in the near future. Generally i cannot speak highly enough of the NRL coverage, added to this we get the Footyshow as well, something Sky never bothered with. It will also mean we will miss game II and III of Origin in this country.


A real shame in my opinion if it does go down the tubes, i was hoping they would get the Sl coverage at the next opportunity but sadly that seems it will now never happen.

they seem to have started to show more games lately and the Footy Show is really what Boots N All should be

yes, but Phil Clarke V Matty "gangbang" Johns
Stevo V Fatty Vautin
Eddie V Andrew Voss

its a no brainer there. Eddie and Clarke have the personality of insurance salesmen, Stevo OK, complete tool, but at least funny without knowing it.

Yep yep and yep, i concur.
