CelticPlayer, is it worth it? What live games do you actually get? If I were to subscribe today would I be able to watch the game tonight? Anyone know much about it? Bought Sky Sports this year as sick of terrible dodgy streaming sites. Can't justify buying TnT subsubscription solely for European football. Anyone any suggestions what my best opinion may be?
{Ed007's Note - Tonight's game is on Amazon so if you have Amazon Prime you can see it "free". But if you want to see every Celtic game you can't without going down the dodgy route - and we're not allowed to talk about that.}

Our 2nd leg next week is on Amazon Prime.
They get first pick of a Tuesday match throughout the playoffs and group matches and they have picked our game next week.
{Ed007's Note - Is that what it is, it was Grotbags that said to me, sorry about that. Cheers Buzz ?

I have had Celtic TV and now Celtic Player for years due to not being able to get to games.
The only time you get to watch a game live if you are in the UK is pre-season games.
I have it as you can get a full game replay from 10pm depending what competition it is as it could be midnight.
It's been a godsend for me over the years and worth the £50 or £60 a year as it is now.

Cheers for the reply guys much appreciated. I do have prime and tried to watch a few games last season and kept directing me to TnT subscription. Pretty annoying and down right scandalous that you need multiple subscriptions to watch games from a certain league. Didn't even realize till after I'd signed up to Sky sports that it doesn't even have rights to all the games. And @ £25pm for 2 year lock in subscription, or £35pm for cancel anytime, it's a wild discrepancy. Then I'm sure I read or heard, Sky Sports in, I'm sure some Asian country, will give you access to every single Premier League game while we only get select games.
Netflix needs to get it's arse into gear and buy the rights to the big leagues. Scottish league by definition probably doesn't fall into the "big league" category, but was well watched last season, going by data recently released. Pretty sure it was above the Belgian league for average viewers. Realistically, something like that could be a game changer for the league, money wise.
{Ed007's Note - Ed001 stays in Dubai and was amazed that we had got into trouble for discussing streaming games, he couldn't believe it was still impossible to watch any game you wanted and illegal to go and find ways to do it. I'm pretty sure the US is the same as over there too.
We need to get rid of the the '3pm blackout' rule in the UK - that would be a start at least - before looking at the best way forward.}

Had to google the 3pm blackout rule as I'd never heard of it. In the digital world we now live in, its truly outdated. Reading it was from the 60s to encourage fans to attend lower league matches. Surely more money to be made for clubs by giving them the rights to televise every game.
{Ed007's Note - The entire football broadcasting situation across the UK needs looked at, let's be honest it's always been geared towards England but since Sly came in Scotland has became nothing more than an afterthought.}
