Shenanigans will ensue however it pans out. But those of you who subscribe to Sky Sports at home for the football should not lose sight of the major victory scored on your behalf today - it is henceforth perfectly legal to subscribe to a foreign broadcaster and watch your favourite team playing on a service other than Sky.
