League of Ireland followers had watched the travails of Setanta with some ambivalence in recent weeks. The pervading view was that Setanta Ireland was a separate (and profit making) entity and therefore would survive the struggles of the parent company.
However developments in the last twenty four hours suggest that this confidence may have been misplaced. The postponement of the draw for the 2009 Setanta Sports Cup was the first sign that all was not well.

I’m a fan of Setanta, which has provided another outlet for LOI on television. Sure, it gives Felix Healy and out and we need more moustaches like that on TV. Aside from that, the coverage of non League football in England, the IPL, the golf and many other sports is something you don’t get on Sky.
