Do you know whats mad about this Ireland forum, is that some people actually do care if they see the games. Some even care so much that they go and travel to the games as they are fans of the team and they like to see the games. If you don't fair enough but I thing you are on the wrong part of the forum if you don't.

Only have Setanta Ireland, not their other channels. As an Irish channel, Ireland games should be live on Setanta Ireland as a matter of principle. Instead, it's not only not live on it, it's being upstaged by England on Setanta 1, and we're shoved out to Setanta 2 instead.

It's an absolute tragedy, a disgrace, that I'm being forced to go to the pub at six o'clock on a Wednesday evening to watch football.

Would pay to see the Ireland games anyway but dont have to because we have 'the box' decoder so have all the sports channels for free.......a worthwhile investment although strictly not legal

I knew you have your location cork

**Deckydee** · 20/08/2008, 1:25 PM

Anyho, I just subscribed to Setanta. For four matches

Strange no mention of the Georgia match, I am sure they will put it up when they have chosen a venue

Anything else that Setanta is good for??

I go to all the home games and some of the away games....Irish teams seem to perform only in competitive games (except in the days of Stan)
the Serbia game for example, was truly awful! I take your point though... I'll shut up.

6, coverage starts on Setanta at 5:30

**irishultra** · 20/08/2008, 1:45 PM

I heard Setanta just have some away matches.

**tetsujin1979** · 20/08/2008, 1:53 PM

According to this - http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soc...682387823.html - they only have the rights to the Bulgaria, Cyprus and Montengro games.
Although that article is almost a year old, and the rights to the other games could have been bought since then

**irishultra** · 20/08/2008, 1:58 PM

Has it been confirmed what channel the Georgia match is on? I definetly thought it was Setanta and that the Montenegro match was RTE which probably means they bought up all the matches?
