Hopefully they've sorted out the niggles from the last batch of matches.

Had no problems at all last time but can’t get any coverage at all right now. Anyone else having issues?

Watching the cricket most of the day.

Unfortunately there aren’t any games to get excited about today. I’ll watch the Utd game, but nothing else unless a particular match is really getting interesting.

I don't suppose any of you guys using Amazon Prime know if the game will be on Catch up? I've read that 3 minute highlights will be available straight after the match and full replays from midnight. Is this correct and has anyone had any experience with it?

It's not even really live coverage.

I was watching the Spurs v Brighton game and the sports app on my phone kept alerting me to the goals about 10 seconds before it happened on the screen.

That is the reality of streaming. There'll be a delay. Doesn't bother me as I don't have a sports app on my phone with goal alerts.

Absolutely outrageous. I'll be writing to my local MP to raise this important issue

I have chrome notifications for Bet365 goals which is the quickest you can get and the goal went in on the TV about 5/10 seconds before the notification came in.

Someone in the Amazon 'Every Game Every Goal' studio should've stayed in bed this morning. I feel like I'm imbibing cooties just from listening to the coughfest.

Works fine on my mobile/laptop, unwatchable on my ps4/smart tv app. Wonder why?

Full replays from midnight yeah I believe, I watched the United game from earlier on in the month the day after and it was nice being able to skip half time etc.

Surely by now people have been streaming sports long enough to know there will be a delay and to turn off notifications accordingly?
You’d have thought so. But then again, people will literally moan about anything.

It is FOOKIN fantastic , the option to turn of the the commentary and just listen to the stadium, is THE best way to watch a football match especially being a united fan, not having to listen to the sheer delight in the commentators voice of us struggling against third rate opposition is fantastic, and also the pleasure of watching a game without having to listen to some ABU co-commentator having an orgasm to our demise who are often ex liverpool players, is a godsend. Viva amazon prime!

I personally find it really weird watching football on TV without commentary, I’d rather have bad commentary than nothing.

The Amazon coverage has been really good though, I wonder if this is a trial for having every game available to stream every week.

Doesn't make sense for Amazon financially unless they have a separate sports/Premier League package and raise the prices considerably.

I meant in terms of the league & how they feel about doing it. Since they seem to have been dead set against it for years.

I still love it. Watched games on several devices simultaneously today. No problems at all.

Also, it was wonderful being able to switch over to the Sheffield United game when Southampton went 2-0 up.

Ah yeah, I think that seems a certainty though there weren't many takers for the package. There's still the issue of the Saturday 3pm blackout unless they change it so no games are played then.

Hope they get more games in the future.
Although I'm probably most impressed by actually watching 100% clear picture for once :lol:

We need to play all our games on Amazon. Undefeated and some of the best football going forward in both games we've played this season...

Is that it for Amazon's football games after today?
Tomorrow is and that’s it for this this season, till next.

I’ve really enjoyed their coverage and the match choice facility. Also option to turn off the commentary is a very nice feature.
