    Yes they can cancel the deal. They can use defamation as a reason to break from it plus could go to CAS to demand the right to do so.
    The only problem would be at away matches and Europe were they wouldnt have any say.

    Yes there is.

    refuse them access to Celtic park for flag day, title day and the 2 games against they * and they will soon change their tune.

    what they going to do sue us for lost revenue, it’s about £80k a game ffs! Pocket change * them. Keep them out of Celtic park and when it’s away games refuse to speak, the spfl has the deal not the sfa also!

    * sky

    If we don't get what we want from sky re the ofcom complaint then * them,don't cooperate with them,

    let them go to the Sfa and threaten to pull the plug on the deal,we are the only club in Scotland who can do without the pittance they

    pay us,plus we put the Sfa in the spotlight to get their act together.

    Yes 80k a game is what they are paying doesn’t mean that’s what it’s worth to them the * they will be making a fortune off advertising and charging pubs and other public places for getting a game said it b4 I hope epl break away and do their own streaming service for 1 they will make money but not as much as their * getting of sky remember it’s Scottish football fans subscriptions and other sports fans subs that are being used to subsidise that crap they leave sky they lose that * hopes so

    About time. Hopefully the likes of Boyd, McCann, etc will never have the pleasure of gracing the grounds ever again.

    The fans signed up for their product need to come together aswell imo, yes I’m one of them my deal has a few months left but when it’s up I’m off. They treat our club and game at times with utter disdain, they are interested in one thing only the * so called ‘old firm’.

    Would love this.

    If there is one thing that we know by now, is that the Celtic board do not act rashly. There would have thought things through prior to making this decision, weighing up options and have contingencies in place based on the response and reaction.

    Sky doesn't give a fiddlers for Scottish Football, let alone the fans up here, so bollocks to them.

    As has been said would 100% pay £20 a month for Celtic TV if it meant getting all the games in one place and all money goes to the club.

    £240 a year per person.
    Club makes £2.4m for every 10k subs.

    Would also suit season ticket holders that can’t always make it, maybe organise a scheme that allows you to pass on your ticket and you are allowed a discounted match stream for home games. The club can sell on your ticket and you still see the game.

    The T.V. deal would not be at risk and will stay on course due to many factors. We have agreed jointly with other clubs along with SFA. I’d assume the contracts are all finalised and in place. We would be in jeopardy of costing the rest of the teams money with our refusal and that is over half the teams main lifeline. Not that we should give a * about anyone but ourselves but for sporting conduct and decency the board won’t have that scenario. As mentioned above we definitely could and should make life pretty difficult for them. At the end of the day they came up with the money required and it’s a shame to lose a great product in BT sports. SKY have over the years been clueless, biased, unprofessional, untrustworthy, liars and no direction in regards to their product. They have in the past started programmes for Scottish games 5 minutes before K.O. and finished them before we had managers post match interview. Also see their HT analysis as unprepared and an excuse to advertise * Belhaven. * them.

    It also seems to me that the club are now feeding the English media more news lately, that’s a couple of pieces in the Guardian and even that * Ewan Murray sticking up for us over the huns statement. The sooner the press up her dies and breaks up the clique the better.

    Liking the big baws on our board this last week, sticking it to the * who trash talk us constantly.

    Being able to watch our games on our own platform is the dream, I'm dreading this new sky only deal :99:

    Only problem is not everyone just has sky sports for us so not everyone would cancel

    Sky are only interested in the money and nothing else.
    Not sure going alone is a good idea while sky are * i still like to have pundits from the opposition to hear their opinions good or bad.
    Perhaps BT is our best option and leave sky and hun to themseves .
