Staff working at Sky's offices in Dublin have been given death threats & have been advised of their safety by Gardai over Daniel Kinahan's involvement in arranging the boxing match between Tyson Fury & Anthony Joshua. There are photos here on Twitter showing demeaning graffiti against Sky Ireland staff members calling them "rats" & "NOT SAFE".





The Broadcast & print media sector were reporting recently that U.S. federal authorities are currently liaising, with a request from the Irish government, with other mutliple governments & crime agencies to investigate DK's involvement of organised crime in the U.S., UK, UAE & Ireland.

I've been watching on Sky Sports Main Event which has the crowd noise. It makes a difference.

Yes - the PLP feed has standard and augmented effects.

16 matches live on telly today. Not bad for a Wednesday in June.

Soaps are meant to be depressing. Sport is meant to be uplifting escapism.

I tried that as well - just feels so faux and forced.

They've also confirmed the dates for the conclusion of this season - with matches pretty much daily between August 5th and 23rd.

This Sky Sports Watchalong on The SS Football channel is an interesting idea. I fear it will be a crap version of Fanzone
