A further foreign invasion of the Premier League has seen Al Jazeera’s live coverage of games intended for the Middle East being fed into numerous UK pubs and clubs this season.
The rogue broadcasts, put down to lax encryption processes used by the Arab network, are especially galling for the Premier League’s major UK rights holders Sky, who paid £2.28billion for their current three-year packages.
Al Jazeera’s English-language games are presented by Richard Keys and Andy Gray, the partnership that established and maintained Sky football’s pre-eminence before their acrimonious departure in 2011 following sexist comments about assistant referee Sian Massey.
