Whatever your opinions on the England team, the games should not be on PPV (Setanta FFS!). There are some things that should always be free to view such as the cup final, Wimbledon, the Ashes and England footy games fall into this category too. It's nt like they're short of money FFS!!!

The country in general is fairly pissed of or even non plussed about England FC, this can only make it worse.

Even if it's for nowt though, it's an embarrassment innit?? We haven't had a good game since we beat Germany 5-1.

Its not Pay Per View though,its part of the Setanta sports package.
I do agree Mr I that England should be on terrestrial T.V. but putting them on Setanta is no worse than putting them on Sky.
As far as Im concerned they can put them on anything they like,I still wouldnt be watching,I cant remember the last time I watched a full England game

If I remember rightly there were 5 events that were 'protected',F.A. cup final,Wimbledon Tennis final,Grand national,Rugby 5 nations(or is it 6 now ?) & the Boat Race.

6 Nations went to Sky ages ago. We've had no-one in the tennis finals since the seventies, the boat race is frankly tedious, the Grand National is about 12 minutes, and the Cup Final is a Manchester United v Chelsea boreathon.

Hey but pay your licence otherwise we'll boil your kids.... :roll:

It's not free in the pub either, they expect you to buy drinks and stuff while you're in there. :roll:

Last week I would have agreed with you, but now I think you're just a moaning old git. :shock:

By the way, I subscribed to Setanta last Saturday. :laugh:
