    I'm sure somewhere in the fine detail of the contract there's scope for Celtic to argue for release from the contract. Failing that they could agitate for one by making things very difficult for Sky and forcing their hand BUT they won't. There's likely no real appetite for this at boardroom level. I suspect after a period on the sidelines for Sky a scapegoat will be found, handed his or her P45 and it will be business as usual.

    If he wasn't such a braindead cretin he would have stepped down himself after that, would have been bad enough on it's own but the fact this moron has a mental health charity and spouted this pish is indefensible.

    Am not so sure

    I read that it takes 2 weeks for Ofcom to even contemplate that an investigation is required then another 50 days for findings
    After that so the question is will we ever find out ? I hope so but doubt it.

    If SKY fail to disclose all of the facts surrounding this episode it will be interesting to see what Celtic's response will be ?

    If they don't cooperate , don't just ban interviews ban them and their cameras from the last Glasgow derby of the season . That would put the cat among the pigeons

    I suspect that would be in breach of contract and leave us open to financial penalties. Curiously tho, I imagine refusing to put forward players and staff for interviews is also a breach of the contract. Will be interesting to see if Sky pursue this. If they don't it will be a significant nod to them being guilty of wrongdoing.

    What do they give us per season . Peanuts . Tell them to shove it up their * . We have £45m in the bank . They will miss us before we miss them .
    I'm sure I read somewhere the last Glasgow derby was watched worldwide by 1. 4 million people , how much did they make out of that

    Would love us to do that and if we have any hope of making big bucks from our tv rights we need to look at something like our own subscription service. Just cant see it happening tho. I think if the board thought it was viable they would have pursued it.

    Celtic tv is only available" live " outside the UK . If we could get around that rule I would ditch sky , b.t and premier sports and give the lot to Celtic tv
    I would happily pay £ 40 per month

    Aye we are in breech of contract but let’s allow sky to call us all racists, verbally abuse our striker who spent almost a year out the game with a mental health issue!

    these * at sky have been wanking over Gerrard and the huns since he came up here!

    game we beat them 1-0 at home. We are the home team....

    1. the Gerrard graphic was bigger than BR
    2. The Gerrard graphic was place in front of BR
    3. There was a 23 minute piece on Gerrard and 7 minutes on celtic
    4. Walker, Boyd, McCann and commons are all *!
    * the contract and * sky!

    As often here, I will go against the wind and instead of trying to make a point, I'll ask you guys some questions.

    Okay, Sky * up/purposefully mistranslated the interview. Celtic made a statement regarding this to which Sky apologised. We want to pursue this further and make a third party investigation - fine, makes sense to me. But isn't it too much with banning them? This can lead to financial punishment and loosing coverage which will only do more harm in terms of finances. I understand that this is a touchy subject and there are emotions involved but don't you guys think we overreacted? For us as a club to progress is all about money, even pennies, so wouldn't it be better to play a bigger man here and just allow that investigation to happen BEFORE we ban anyone? I think this might hurt us financially over the years.

    I've got a yearly Celtic TV sub so I can watch delayed coverage of games if I've missed them. Just to watch Celtic I've got; BT sports, premier sports for the scottish cup games there, Celtic TV & took sky for 3 months Dec to Feb bcos of the amount of games we had. I can honestly say I've watched a handful of other games outside of Celtic on all those channels.

    If I could pay £40 p/m for exclusive Celtic only content I would gleefully jump at the chance.

    Is it * an overreaction!

    Sky have slandered our club and our supporters, as you said purposely - thats unequivocal, there is no dubiety therefore sky are seriously in the wrong, they know who done this and we know it was Jabba and the ex-Hun and relation of jabba that is head of content at Sky Scotland, their heads must role!

    Why do you think there is all Huns on every panel? The coverage Gerrard gets gees me the * dry boak.

    Walker - * - fumes about celtic to fit in, * should be banned for life from celtic.
    Boyd - * - fat * attacked a guy on TV about his mental health then has a go at celtic fans in the paper in his column!
    Commons - soup taking * - trying to fit in with Walker and Boyd
    McCann - jump the * *

    No its not too much banning to answer you directly!

    These * have tried to destroy our brand and the reputation of the fans, now every set of football fans have * in them that is society in general, but sky went OTT.

    Financial punishment, * me we get more from playing in the UCL qualifiers than we get from sky ffs, it would be minimal in relation to what we would earn from UEFA or our own TV channel - we wont lose anything greatly in terms of coverage as sky only have UK rights.

    Look after the pennies and the £45m in the bank will look after us!

    The reason we haven't waited on the investigation is we already know the * involved.

    Celtic have grew a massive set of balls the past few weeks with media.

    I contacted JP Taylor a few months back about the media and and he replied "without going into too much detail we know what we are doing we will act in due course"

    ANYONE BUT CELTIC YOU KNOW!

    I am sure Sky don’t give a toss that they are banned from press conferences but I am glad the the club has made a stand against them . As people have rightly pointed out we we are contractually obliged to allow them to televise games . It needs the whole of Scottish football to turn their backs on Sky and hopefully negotiate a deal with BT that gets Scottish football the coverage it deserves.

    If only we could break away from the contract and sign one with BT to show all our away games for next season...
