First TV games of 2007

Setanta Sports have announced the first three games they will televise live in the 2007 Setanta Sports Cup.

The opening night (26th February) game between the two previous winners of the competition Drogheda United and Linfield will be first up from United Park.

The clash between Irish League sides Linfield and Glentoran the following week (5th March) will be next up.

Seven days later the game between Cork City and Shelbourne at Turner's Cross will be screened live as the last two eircom League champions go head to head.

All televised games will kick off at 8pm with further TV details to be announced in the coming days and weeks.

Is there actually going to be a league to televise this year? I thought a certain bloke from Drumcondra and his mate from Merrion Sq were conspiring to bring the who show tumbling down...

I don't believe they show but no first hand knowledge. I think they have shown as live later that week in the past...

Take out a subscription to an Irish address and get them to send you a viewing card. You can then watch Setanta Ireland wherever you are.
BTW - good promotion on at the moment , �10 per month.

You'll need a subscription to Sky in Ireland first, then sign up to Setanta.

Takes a good few weeks to sort with all the to-ing and fro-ing though - so you'd want to get the proverbial wriggle-on if you fancy doing this.

It was on Setanta Ireland, and for some reason wasn't blocked.I remember flicking through the channels the night of the Linfield - Derry match in Windsor, and being amazed that it was on.

Actually you dont Steve , I have Setanta on a "Stand Alone" basis , when I subscribed I told them that I was not a Sky customer but had a digibox and they sent me a card with just Setanta on it. It works in any digibox , I tried it out.

Sadly only on Sky, NTL only give you Celtic and Rangers TV, Setanta Golf, some American sports network and Setanta Sports 1 :confused:

Anyone know how to get this in the States? I tried looking for webcasts, but Setanta seems to block IP addresses from outside Ireland for the broadband casts.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Would love to know if there's a solution to this.

has anybody contacted setanta and asked them what are yer options?

If you know someone with Setanta and can hook it up to their PC, it can be broadcast through sopcast or TVU through the internet. AFAIK they provide the programme/upload route so you only leave it running.

Worth investigating IMO

Still not been announced officially - the new LOI press guy is a bit slow ;) - but there's plans for up to 30 live games with Friday night being "sport night" on RT� Two. More when I have it....

Yeah stoopid unbiased press Guy. Suppose we can expect press releases for every rovers goal and press passes for all your fans too

(PS My silence can be bought off with a press pass...)

No, is the answer!
Setanta Sports Ireland is exclusive to Ireland.
They do offer some matches on the Internet but they're often restricted by geographical location.

I get the matches, so Yes is the answer. Somehow.

Well the block certain programmes so then.
I guess they control the rights to the SSC so there wouldn't be any dispute.
