Mickey Mouse operation Setanta Sports lost its football coverage to a genuine Mickey Mouse operation last night.

Apparently.

ESPN, who bought Setanta's Premier League football rights, is owned by Disney, as is squeaky Mickey's ears.

Prattish Setanta tried to take on brilliant BSkyB but failed, or at least it sort of failed in England Scotland and Wales, elsewhere in the world it seems to be trading as normally, the rippy off bastards.

Read this statement to their US viewers for instance. Nothing seems to be wrong anywhere other than at home here.

"Now could be a great time to sign up with BSkyB who has some great packages and more live football than anybody else," said a guy from Currys.

In other news: MPs elect Leader of the House as a joke. Democracy in most danger since 1689 says very very drunk constitutional historian.

*News International the owner of The Boobs newspapers is majority shareholder in BSkyB.

Setanta Pulls Plug

Setanta Sports stopped broadcasting to England Scotland and Wales last night after failing to make contractual payments to the SPL and Premier Leagues. However, according to their website, they seem to be continuing to broadcast these programmes as normal in all of their other territories.

Ergh! What's this? Huh?

So, if you subscribe to Setanta in Ireland or in the USA you can still get the coverage. In Australia too. What a load of old bollocks. Who writes these media contracts?

A media historian told this moanpaper: "The 1.2 million subscribers that Setanta had when it went bust was the exact same number that subscribed to ITV Digital that pulled the plug on their football coverage. I do hope this 1.2 million people are not the same ones, poor dears. Perhaps they should stop their whining, go against their principles and subscribe to BSkyB after all."

In other news: Westminster's stationary office says it has run out of black marker pens for the twenty fifth consecutive day.

Setanta Sort Of Goes Bust

Setanta Sports went bust, but only on mainland UK, today.

According to it's website it continues to broadcast normally in all of its other territories where it claims to continue to show SPL and Premier League games.

Whilst most of their British victim viewers pay monthly, some pay annual contracts and they were told they wouldn't be getting their money back. What a rip off.

Setanta is Irish: We say get all your money out of Ireland now before it's too late, including all of their banks. This is a rip off.

In other news: MPs shout at each other some more.
