For those of you who have their telly with Virgin Media (formerly UPC.... formerly NTL..... Cablelink..... wtf.....) well anyway from next week they'll be taking eir Sports (formerly Setanta Sports blah blah blah....) off your telly so there'll be no more Irish football on your box unless RTE wake up.

eir are doing a good 18-month package for €25 for six months and then €90 for the next 12 months if u fancy switching, like I just did. You get eir Sports 1 and 2, the 4 BT Sports plus the usual standard 50-odd channels. And fibre broadband and some shite with a landline (but who uses them any more?).

So there.

I must say the eir Sports coverage has been really good. Yer man Will the commentator. Knows his stuff.
