The Football.....

[Smokin Joe]

Sadly no chance of getting a ticket.
I'll be watching it down the pub with my son.
How about you?

Watching on TV.

Not the same, but being down here in west Wales my stadium visits are a thing of the past.

Hopefully no one is paying for illegal football streams, as could be prosecuted

Generally, I don't, which is why I was careful to say that it's only certain elements of the support. Apologies if it came across that way, that was not my intention.

Not sure why you find "Old Firm" tedious? That's what I've always known Rangers and Celtic as?



It can be a weird place, though improvements have been made, probably not helped by having a paranoid lawyer as owner for so long. The standing section is class for example.

Re old firm.
Most Celtic fans stopped using it before 2012 liquidation of the original Rangers team.

Very few use it at all now.
The media hang on to it.

Two distinct clubs with different history and a different fan base.

Very different from end users though.

Do people still pay for Sky?

I don't know much about the guy apart from he was an Academy product of ours and has been out on loan to a few clubs.

Probably someone trying to find his level in the game.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

And the personal details of many of those who paid for Flawless TV are now in the hands of investigators, raising the question of what action might be taken against them.

I pay, yes

What personal details would they be likely to have? There will be no further prosecutions from this.

What personal details would they be likely to have?

Possibly similar to what Sky, BT and Virgin have on their customers

Really, I would have thought it was no more than an email address for most.

BT for example, know where I live.

Bank details, if you read the article

But it seems highly unlikely fans will face legal action.
One of the barristers who worked on the Flawless case, Ari Alibhai, said, in an online seminar, in 2021: "In practice, the idea of someone being prosecuted who isn't also concerned in the trade, so they aren't also concerned in supplying illicit television services, is minimal."
