Firesticks do not provide that, generally My FF SKY monthly sub for everything is £40. That's not unreasonable Of course, there's the times (3 months pa) Viaplay needs to be paid for, too. £11.99 pm Firesticks are fine if you're happy to put up with the inconvenience in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Rangers draw Benfica in the last 16 of the Europa league. We've got an excellent record against Portuguese sides but that's a really tough draw, especially when you consider we're the seeded team! As an aside, after the draw they explained the new European format for next season and I've not got a scooby how it's going to work!!

Doesn't buffer much at all. Got all the club channels and every ppv going along with all sorts of weird and wonderful channels from across the world. Add in every movie and TV show under the sun and for £80 a year it's a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus text me when Frankfurt equalised and I had to sit for 2 minutes knowing it was coming but not saying anything to my mates. Was excruciating!! Needless to say the phone was muted after that!

saintydave Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Need a decent result or two for them this year still, race for extra European places is mighty tight this year, in big danger of losing the 2nd champions league spot etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I read somewhere England will have 10 teams in Europe next season if the winners of all 3 competitions this year are English, every chance given they have the bookies favourite in all of them.

Fairbairn Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Good result. We didn’t offer a great deal going forward but Benfica didn’t exactly put Butland under much pressure and slightly disappointed not to get the win given they needed a penalty and an OG to score. All set for a cracker next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I know this won't be of interest to most people outside of OF fans on here but was reading about the likelihood of Scotland being overtaken buy Czech Republic and the ramifications of CL qualifying. Czech's have 3 teams left in Europe this season while we obviously only have Rangers. 2 of the 3 Czech teams will likely go out so it comes down to Viktoria Plzen vs Rangers and if VP perform better the Czech's will overtake us in the rankings. If that does happen, and Celtic win the league in 24/25 then they would need a qualifying round to reach the new format CL. However, if Rangers win the league that season they would most likely qualify due to a new rule which favours club coefficient (Rangers are currently the highest ranked team outside of the top 7 countries). So in perverse turn of events it's actually favourable for Celtic in the longer term for Rangers to stay in Europe as long as possible this season!
