They seem to think they've revolutionised football broadcasting by having 5 lines above each team

It's quite American isn't it.

They're acting like the teams are out of lives once they disappear

Just reminds me of the timeouts on the NFL

Michael Brown and Stephen Warnock doing co comms, John Hartson and Mcmanaman doing punditry, they’ve pulled out all the stops today

 

[Old Ma Crow]

Commentary on the Burnley game are so pro Liverpool it’s nauseating.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Their coverage is far better than TNT. Thought Matt Upson was good on comms in the City game. Not as irritating to listen to as a lot of co-commentators.

 

[CallyRed]

Great to see Kammy back as well

For anyone wanting to know, you can sign up for amazon prime free every month. You can rinse and repeat it every month.

- use a new email address each time
- sign up to revolut and use a virtual debit card each time to sign up. You won’t get charged. Just set account not to auto-renew.

All legal!

Missing a trick by not letting you do a 4 way split screen for the games

Yeah, until they block that address for abusing their free trials.

Can you open multiple Prime channels on differents devices with one subscription ?

Yeah prime aren't too bothered about sharing logins either

All well and good until they stop it. I really don't think most people need prime outside of 3 months of the year.

I wish, the missus and daughter get deliveries every other day!

Seems like a sign of bad husbandhood and bad fatherhood. If I were them I'd be looking for replacements in the January transfer window.

 

[RedC]

Is it true that you can't even watch the games on Irish Amazon Prime? I'm too lazy to move to the other room to check.

Loans are the only option for them, spent all the have already.

How is it that Amazon are able to get around the 3pm blackout?

 

[gormless]

How is it that Amazon are able to get around the 3pm blackout?

It’s not Saturday

 

[duffer]

How is it that Amazon are able to get around the 3pm blackout?

It's Thursday.

[ItDoesntEvenMata]

It's Thursday.

Logically though the effect should be the same. A bunch of 3pm games running at the same time as all the lower leagues should have the same negative effect on attendances whether it's a Thursday or a Saturday

 

[Chief123]

Yeah, until they block that address for abusing their free trials.

It works even without the full address.

Amazon's PL coverage concludes tonight. Shame it's not TNT/BT.

If its anything like the way amazon run their other businesses, they'll do it very well until they start to exploit people and ruin industries. Imagine if they get exclusive rights to premier league football, they'll ban half time!

 

[MrWilliams]

I think Amazon/Apple/Google will go big next time around. Thing with their business is the Sports is a gateway to sell other services and products.

As far as streaming is concerned, live sports is the future. That's what gets the streaming companies steady, consistent viewership. European football runs most of the year, so consumers will likely keep their subscription year-round. It's a cash cow revenue stream

Google have invested in node based streaming tech recently. It could overcome bandwidth issues like the Tyson & Paul fight had.
