Sitting Down With The Football... Or Perhaps Not

Can anybody explain how the British public have more choice now we have to pay another subscription to watch the England match on TV tonight? Sky Sports are showing a match involving Northern Ireland, while Setanta Sports (an Irish satellite channel) is showing the England match.

Wasn’t it just easier when all England matches were on the BBC?

Quite. Setanta partially relies, I fear, on anti-Murdoch sentiment. But if they don't break them this year there won't be much left in the kitty. Competition is logically a good thing but, for the short term, the credit-crunched British football fan is headed to the poorhouse.

I think it's probably for the best Dick, given England's performance.
