Seen bits of Setanta over the weekend & didn't check listings but seemed like they showing a lot of international games Eurosport.

Not a complaint really but just observation as was terrible deciding by NTL to dump Eurosport anyway.

Yeah, the reason being that noone was watching it, so they replaced it with that ratings winner MSNBC. It's not even on NTL digital!

Was good for coverage of the underage tournaments.

I love eurosport. Thankfully we still have it here. Eurogoals - my fav programme on TV.

Eurosport is a genuinely good channel. Yes, they did show the Madeira tourno which included a few eL players in fairness, and they do tend to get hold of some strange games like friendlies between saudi teams, etc.

Eurogoals is a class show, gotta agree with eoinh, love watching it. Saw Nantes on a small while back actually, haven't watched it yet this week.

Whats the story with NTL dumping it?
