    I couple of years pre-Bunce there used to be a magazine show for about 90 minutes midweek. It did not have the Bunce humour or appeal, but did have more fight action.

    Sky have Boots n all for Rugby league followers, the rugby club for their union counterparts.

    Sky please bring back Ringside

    How about every channel? Even BBC News and Living! In all honesty, I think it's about time that BBC 5 is set up; a sports channel for the licence fee payer. If there can be BBC News and BBC Kids TV then at least there should be a sports channel dedicated to highlights, programs and live events.

    Ringside was a classy show so I'm well on board for this. It would be nice if Dempsy was back hosting it. I'll probably be banned for saying it but I'm no fan of Bunce and never really liked Setanta. Yeah, their coverage pissed all over Sky, but it was shambolic from the start. I can't see Sky having Bunce, nor do I hope they hire him. Sky have an excellent team at the moment and I hope it doesn't change.

    Sky do have a good team as it is

    However Bunce would fit in there somewhere

    Always get the feeling Dempsey likes to be the one in control. Could be funny if they put Bunce in to ruffle his feathers :hey

    Dempsey did a few shows with Buncey for their 'big fights' on setanta, for example the Calzaghe vs RJJ fight, and Dempsey was, in my opinion, poor. Did not gel like Bunce and Kerr do.
