A month or two ago in these pages I ranted about the Setanta Sports channel and organization. Whilst I stand by most of what I said about the ‘money-grabbing” nature of that organization in its formative days when I ran the “Home of Fotball” in San Francsico – The Mad Dog in the Fog, the comments I made about the O’Rourke brothers who headed the company not being fans of the game were unjustified and incorrect. Shane O’Rourke is a Liverpool fan who knows the game well and, whilst I wish him nothing but bad luck when it comes to his team, I have always had an amicable relationship with him and hope that it may continue. He is a decent man, a good businessman, his channel is improving each season, and they currently have the best coverage of football in this country – far superior to that provided by the Fox Soccer Channel.
Claret & Light Blue and not so high and mighty that an apology cannot be made when one is owed…
