An Irish company splashes out big time in an arguably over-ambitious and over-confident attempt to beat the world (read: Murdoch).
Love the tone and balance of your article.
But, can anyone hear the words “boom-bust” echoing around the backstory?
Setanta is the commercsonification (commercial personification – yes I made it up) of the last five years of the Irish economy.

It’s a great pity to see Setanta go. Now Ireland is back to the old days when the only way to watch good sport is to hope it’s either on the BBC or ITV, or to splash out on Sky
Oh hang on, they’ve only been ousted from the UK, not Ireland or the US. That’s not too bad then. Now there can be more focus on the home market rather than those monotonous dregs across the little pond
