They obviously want people to buy a dodgy firestick
Well fuck TNT. I’ll stream it and stick it to the man.
Burn it all down then, sod the champions league its a distraction from our league anyway.
Commit to the Premier League and that stupid world club championship then call it a day.
Disgraceful man.
They price them out of going to games then they price them out of watching at home and they have the audacity to question why people are pirating more.
It’s never free to watch you have to pay for a tv licence.
God so so shit. And they’ve taken loads of the FA Cup of free to air this year.. And everything is on various different streaming services which mean. If you wanted to have access to all possible watchable English football you’re looking at close to £80 a month minimum.
Just pure shit, there’ll come a day when the world cup is not on free to air, and they wonder why people stream illegally
Apparently UEFA aren’t happy but their own contract only states that “best endeavours” should be made to ensure the finals are available for free. I’ve signed terms and conditions for flappy bird clones with more locked-down legals than that!
Do they really think doing this will mean people will take out TNT subscriptions in droves? People will just stream it and then never ever consider getting a subscription.
I don’t like this but it’s always when it’s BT/TNT that there’s outrage. There is/was never any outrage when Sky gatekeep like with the League Cup, there’s never a FTA alternative like with the FA Cup – albeit I believe that’s a legal requirement – and obviously they hold almost all PL games
The working man’s game well and truly stolen in the UK.
what? the champion leagure final has been on paid tv loads of times surely.
Abysmal, even since the BT acquisition rights they made it free on YouTube. Somehow I’ll find another way to watch it.. fuck TNT.
Pretty much UEFA”s fault, as they used to have a specific free to air package they were selling? I’m surprised the final isn’t covered in BBC highlights deal
You can’t even get a day pass with TNT either. What a joke.
Yet another reason on top of many to why I have a dodgy firestick.
It’s literally never been free considering you legally need a TV license for it
Yer civil offence for a firestick? Yet supposedly the police are involved in looking for these sticks and helping out these corps. Sounds suspicious to me. Enjoy the football all.
Theres a very simple way to put a stop to this nonsense, it’s been an option for years but no one seems to have cottoned on. Cancel your subscriptions and season tickets, dont watch it at all.
You aren’t being forced by some law to pay ridiculous sums of money to follow your team, you are doing it wilfully.
This is TNT having a tantrum because they’ve lost the rights to Paramount.
Must be a coincidence that footy is becoming more about the investors than fans at the same time more yanks are getting involved…
Wasn’t this the headline last year? What free to air channel showed it last year??
VPN and RTE Player it will be free to watch there and commentatory will be In English
Football supporters have just bent over for this sort of stuff in the past 20 years.
“Kids don’t watch football anymore!” Yeah the older generations watched more because so many free to air networks had full matches or at least highlights. It’s all about merchandising and broadcasting fees now.
Utterly deplorable, but utterly predictable – as soon as Sport started putting itself behind paywalls I’m surprised it took them this long to get to this one.
TNT are pissed over losing European football rights
