yep, I don't think i'm getting my point across very well.

We all know the bidding capabilities of the BBC and Sky. If they really wanted it then they would have got it because they would have put a serious bid in because without going into meltdown like ITV did, setanta just couldn't compete. They obviously thought that it's better to let Setanta blow their money on matches that in all honesty nobody gives a f**k about and barely anybody will watch. I think the attendance showed it all last night, 69,738!
