That is exactly where I am coming from. I am fully behind it. I have been in nursing homes; I was away for eight years in Sri Lanka and I used the witnesses' services. It is simply priceless what they have put together. I am worried about the financial model. Where are the services going? How can more games be rolled out? How can greater choice be offered? How can games that would not otherwise be seen be shown? That is the key.

We have to keep discussing the elephant in the room - the dodgy box. As a businessman, how are the services making money? We are giving too much time to this but we have to because it is the elephant in the room. Where will the services be in the next five years? The situation has come on leaps and bounds. I was afraid, especially for League of Ireland, that bringing extra TV games in would pull people away from the pitch but it has had the opposite effect. The sport is exploding; it is brilliant.
