Mark - Aberfan.
One Media legal boffin on Radio5 live this morning reckons it will probably take up to another 2/3months for the out come of this whilst the judges deiberate. But states it would be unusual for them to take a decision that doesn't reflect the guidance of the Advocate General. My publican for one will be pleased if this is ratified. I wonder if the Premier league "AKA" SKY will attempt to proceed in the current situation if some Pubs jump the gun on this one? I certainly know of one in my area that is taking footbal fron "Tring" and ESPN Scottish games from the middle East. Picure quality is fine. In total they are paying just under half of what SKY sports would be to you an I in our own homes . A hell of a saving from a publicans point of view.

Mark - Having downloaded and read the European Union Press release it appears that the judges deliberations will be about the over- turning of the conviction against the Portsmouth publican rather than the existing European Union Law ie: "European Union Law does not make it possible to prohibit the live transmission of Premier League football matches in pubs by means of foreign decoder cards" ???

P.S> The latter is the view of the Advocate General Kokott, territorial exclusivity agreements relating to the transmission of football matches are contrary to European Law.

Brian - Jordy. Do either of you know the position as regards the legal status of pubs in the Irish Republic on this one?

Brian - Wolves Steve - Seems quite convenient and quite easy for business magnates to pick and choose country citizrnship then? So what applies to the Murdoch dynasty certainly passes the rest of us by - unless of course we
hit something like the "big one" on the euro lottery and buy our way into various country citizenships!!!!
