Virgin Media Sport sent this message out tonight after Irish viewers on Eirsport couldn't see the Champions League. if Eirsport are as rumoured in trouble, not good news for the league.

Statement: We have suspended our supply of Virgin Media Sport and Virgin Media Sport Extra to eir Sport because, eir has failed to pay the contracted distribution licence fee.Please refer to eir's technical support line: 1890 260 260, or contact @eircare
.
Hopefully this won’t cause a reciprocal response from Eir who could now make EirSport and its LOI coverage unavailable to Virgin customers.
Eir are telling customers this morning "Virgin media has not agreed to updated terms and has taken the unreasonable step of unilaterally with holding their feed from Virgin Media sports viewers on the Eir network."
Whatever that means.

I read that as "we wanted to cut the fees, VM did not agree."
Well worth the price for the amount of games you get.
I've not watched many games though, only Dundalk's really. Bohs game was excellent, the Waterford game stopped a couple of times.
Next season I'd like a club pass to be available.
Thanks for the opinions, I've just signed up. That's my weekend sorted! 😁😁
I only noticed last night when I saw on my sky package when I was going onto Virgin Sport channel and saw it was Eir sport two. I rebooted main box and still nothing happened. I spent 15 mins queuing on phone,hung up and was onto their FB messager service which was extremely busy. In the meantime I had texted my brother in law to see what was happening and he told me. I never heard a thing! When I did get thro into sky due to GDPR they couldnt tell me exact reason but to google it!
Not good at all tbh. Who was at fault most does anyone know?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Based on their statements, it looks like eir weren't willing to pay the existing price and changed the terms due to the lack of live sport and VM told them to F off and pulled their feed.
Bad day to sign up for it!
The Dundalk game worked fine thankfully, but they really need to pick their moments for replays better! In the middle of an attack isn't really the time to be messing about with that!
Also, they need to sort out substitutions. Camera never shows subs happening and no graphics to say who's on/off. The commentator doesn't even mention who went off. Happened with every sub in the games I've watched. Minor issue, should be easily fixed.
Adrian Eames,Stephen Alkin and Des Curran are the best ones for me.
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Con Murphy is excellent
Saw about 30min of Bray's game with UCD, The old Boy(Vinnie?) Was doing a good job on commentary.
