Would anyone be interested in doing a IKTS for this seasons champions league? Won't start until the group stages obviously and there are no sites that I know of that do it so i'll be running it myself using the same scoring system etc as the Premier League one

Nothing extravagant just a £1,000 buy in and only SYNDICATE members allowed because all of us can afford it the way it's going.

and lol @ ajax having to start at the 3rd qualifying round after last season, shocking really

Yea I'm in

In for IKTS when it's up.

HEJ PAVKOV!

This guy for Red Star is a legend. Bagged a brace against Liverpool in my first ever live Champions League game, scored again today and from what I understand is kind of a scrub player who just pops off and scores in the Champions League.

Love this sport and I disturbingly enjoy even these rounds. Was pleasantly to find the Red Star game streaming on youtube. Have a lot of these games been on YouTube?

FYI Basel-PSV can be watched at https://www.twitch.tv/sports

They also show Rangers on Thursday, plus matches in the coming weeks.

Apparently geoblocked in many countries: Today we are blocked in CH, NL, SK, CZ, US, IL, HR, RS, BA, ME, SI, KV, MO, BG.

LFG CELTIC

ZVEZDA!

Any of today or tomorrow's qualifiers on youtube or streamed anywhere?

Funny, as I just looked it up.

https://www.twitch.tv/sports will have a commentary-free stream of Zagreb - Ferencvaros (geoblocked in the Balkan + US though)

Not sure if there are any Youtube/Facebook/whatever streams otherwise.

Geoblocked WOAT!

Mostly interested in finding a PAOK v. Ajax, Cluj v. Celtic and/or Red Star/Copenhagen stream but not a 3rd world ad-infested one. Those days are over

PAOK vs. Ajax apparently will be live on BleacherReport, which in turn is geo-blocked outside the US

I get why geo blocking is a thing, but blocking for countries where the game isn't even on TV anywhere is the dumbest ****ing ****.

Sky can't be arsed to show it and on DAZN you have the opportunity to see the White Sox play the ****ing Tigers. I'd rather throw myself off the nearest tower block.

While we're on the subject, I've moved out and was forced to take another cable subscription by the tenant. said cable subscription has no rights to PL so TV no longer an option.

I don't want to go back to when I was young and poor and was fighting my way through streaming, what is the latest best way to watch PL on the computer/ps4?

PAOK-Ajax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVpRpaPO68k

I'm still not used to the fact that Basel is kinda **** these days.

Q3 first leg results:

All 2nd leg matches will be played next Tuesday.
