Yes is a bit annoying no PP, didn't mind the extra cost for not having to get up early and go to the pub, much preferred staying in bed watching (If I was not going to the games that is, then I can sleep on the bus).
Now it looks like I will have to sub to sky and then to setanta too, setanta is alot more expensive than just the £50 a season but probably still cheaper than watching in a pub over the course of a season

All saturday games on setanta, including the 3pm games, plus Monday night football. Sky are left with the sunday slots, but think about it with european commitments and cup competitions to juggle later in the season coupled with UK police advice for early kick offs there wont be that many BIG games on a sunday Im guessing

not sure about that, don't sky get first choice? then they put them early if required?
So as far as I can see nearly all the big games will be on Sundays same as any other year.
edit: SKy do have all 38 top picks:TV deal wrote:Irish sports broadcaster Setanta Sports actually won two of the packages, more than expected, but the four most attractive packages of broadcasts are retained by Sky who get 92 live matches a year, including all 38 first picks and the flagship 4 p.m. on Sunday package. Fans who want to take their pick from every match of the season will have to subscribe to two broadcasters rather than one. However, many fans may decide not to subscribe to Setanta given that it will be broadcasting matches on the Monday 8 p.m. and Saturday 5.15 p.m. slots. The Saturday slot coincides with many fans returning from an afternoon game. The Monday night slot has been hampered by the expansion of European football.0 -

That quote you have there refers to SKY's UK rights not Irelandcopacetic wrote:not sure about that, don't sky get first choice? then they put them early if required?

Liverpool v Man U would be considered as a top pick but if both teams were playing on europe on a Tuesday night then you could safely assume they wont be playing on a sunday regardless of what SKY want. Again if Liverpool were playing Everton or Utd were playing City you could again almost guarantee they will be lunchtime kick offs on a Saturday cos the PO-LICE wont tolerate anything less because of these games are classed as category A and they want punters arriving as sober as possible
Utd v City is he first derby AFAIK so keep an eye on that and see what day thats on 0 -

the rights aren't sold seperately for Ireland are they? or do you know something I don't?
The rights give the top picks to sky and they have various time slots. You can be pretty sure they are going to move games week to week rather than give up the best games.0 -

cheers for that.
looks like it's pretty much the exact same packages though so what I was saying above was true apart from Setanta having some extra 3pm saturday games from the lower down match picks?0 -
