    its also on BBC, RTE and TV5. How come Sky don't have this one? They paid a lot of money for the rights and don't show the most attractive match in years.

    Because in the deal they made back in 2002 they did not get the rights to away competitive matches.

    Hmmm, maybe they got them when the non-exclusive deal was struck last year, I did not even bother to look on Sky for the Swiss game as I knew it was on RTE, give me RTE anyday over Sky for an Ireland game.

    I don't want to be watching the most pessimistic people in the world in Dunphy and Co. At least Sky do things like player interviews and actually put in a bit of an effort. People get slated for watching Big Brother but RTE's pre-match and aftermatch "analysis" is just as bad. On commentary, there is no way I could listen to George Hamilton for 90mins. Also, Sky usually have a few sights or whatever and let the people outside the pubs of Bathavanue have their say, etc. I like to see how we're being represented across the water.:) One more thing, the sound on the British stations is always a lot better and creates a better atmosphere.

    It'll be interesting to see who's on the BBC team though.
