The Premiership on Friday nights

[Troy.McClure]

I think that Arsenal are playing Newcastle this Friday on Sky Sports 1. I thought that as part of the agreement with the FAI for letting the Premiership be screened on Irish tv, Sky would give money to the FAI to allow flood lights be put up in each ground so matches could be played on Friday nights and that English matches would never be played at the same time. If this becomes a regular time slot for Rupert's sports channel this might have a bad effect on the eL, although the next Friday night game in England isnt until the eL season is finished. Still though, its not nice to see it creaping in. Anyone else know more about this?

I thought the FAI were going to investigate where they stood with Uefa on this. I think they said they'd block it as opposed to getting a few schillings for allowing it.
