Sky may not be the limit with Murphy's law

Karen Murphy's victory in the European Court over showing live matches in her pub without paying Sky's charges should not be overestimated. It will have consequences, particularly in the lower reaches of the game, but it should not be seen as televised football's equivalent of the Bosman ruling. It is not.

Bosman has proved such a far-reaching, even revolutionary, judgement, that its effects are still being felt more than a decade and a half later. Belgian player Bosman could hardly have imagined the consequences when he sought to change clubs after his contract had expired.
