    What I enjoyed most is when Jim Craig sort of co-commentated on a lot of games and he was always on during the halftime break. Getting up every morning to watch the tic game and you get big Jim on. I really miss him. I guess he's totally retired now. They should have put on a special Huddle Online for him when he said goodbye.

    The whole no scoreboard I can never get my head around. A lot of * aspects to the whole operation. I suppose we should be grateful it's in color?

    Take away the color and you're watching a game from the 1950's, without the theatrical commentary.

    Ive seen the scoreboard on Channel 67 a few occasions. I'm not really sure why its not there most of the time but I dont really see why its a big deal. If you're watching the game you should know the score and if its such a big deal hit up your mobile and type in "celtic fc" and it will tell you what the score is if it is a league game, first hit. Anyways, thats a good question why its not there. Perhaps a few emails into Celtic will have it resolved?

    We usually get a scoreboard on away games, when ESPN or BBC or someone ELSE is covering the game, and the CelticTV commentators just voice over that feed.

    At home, it's always just a plain jane stream. Very few instant replays. ZERO on-screen graphics. ZERO scoreboard/time. Bottom of the barrel production quality, nothing approaching Celtic class.

    Re: checking phone or another website for time/score.. problem is, I'm usually not able to watch the games live, so I'm on a self-imposed internet/social media blackout to avoid the scores until I get to the replay on-demand! So I usually just check the time or start my iPhone stop-watch, and keep score in my head :38::56:

    I'd like to see players in the studio, or on the mic. If they're not playing, they should be available in some fashion.

    Does anyone know if I can get Celtic tv or channel 67 in Vietnam, i don't have a credit card either, is it possible to get one of my family in Glasgow to pay for it and have it installed on my laptop.
    I have never done this before but I have to see the game tonight, all to often i sit up until 2am to watch a game and none of the streams work.........

    On a side note...I would actually pay to get Davey back commentating. He was the reason I started watching Celtic games online in the first place. It was funny, it was honest and it was fun.
    As for Celtic TV, well it needs some money spent on production moreso than anything, but can't complain. They are our only eyes to the games if we can't make it to a matchday ourselves.

    They aren't the best though I'd take two real Celtic fans commentating on our games for our teams own tv channel over ex-Celts like Burley, Walker and Provan who only ever use the platform they have to slate the club and fans that made them who they are.

    I like Davie Provan, always find him insightful.

    Still, its remarkable how all the token ex-Celts in the media always find it so easy to rip into the team and the manager yet their Sevcovian counterparts are utterly shameless in their blatant bias.

    Constructive criticism is always to be welcomed though I always get the feeling that the likes of Walker and Provan go way OTT; for example, Walker calling Neil Lennon a "liar" when Neil said he wanted a spine of UK/Irish players (which he largely has) while signing the likes of Izzy, Juarez, Kayal etc. Always get the impression they're trying too hard to appear 'objective' when it comes to Celtic.

    As for Burley, well, he's just a * gobshite.

    Truth is, I would much rather have no commentators at all!

    Aye I agree with Burley and Walker.

    Provan I think is just honest, Charlie Nicholas' views I hate but he's just a fan I think. I hear views of his echoed on here daily.

    Whoa, I never said you agreed with Burley and Walker! :97: :icon_mrgreen:

    Anyone being compared to Craig Burley on here would be quite justifiably angry! :84:

    I agree that Burley and Walker are disagreeable :icon_mrgreen:

    Burleys just an uppity wee tart. Everyone knows the type :56:
