Would any pubs have paramount+? Been forced into socialising since restrictions keep easing lol, just realised might not be able to catch it tonight.

Ideally all football content is under the one roof but given how saturated football (and in general sports) content has become it will probably be unlikely a broadcaster would hold multiple leagues under their remit.

After all everyone wants to get their ROI and with the demand from other broadcasters looking to chasing their buck its unlikely we will get to the days of Foxtel owning all football content again, with Optus Sport's if they lost the EPL they would only have the World Cup and the J-League and there would be a good chance their subscribers who severely drop so they probably pushed more harder for the rights than anyone else.

For Paramount its probably not the end of the world, given they are new to the market I can see hanging around for quite awhile and will look to add further content to their remit, they could even add other sports for better diversity too.
If anything it might be a blessing in disguise for the aleague as I imagined the attention they are getting right now would probably saturate if the EPL was there and might deflect the attention the aleague wants to get in attacking viewers whom only follow the EPL and won't care about the local scene.

In general im not surprised by the outcome after all this is the new norm for broadcasting and streaming going forward.

Why is it a disaster just curious? 

Oh, take that back, Optus just won the rights to the Premier League for another six years!
OMG, that's a disaster for Paramount and for the A-League.

Is there still a chance of the Premier League going to Paramount?  I thought Optus was going to let it go.
At this point, the non A-League stuff is just terrible.
If only die hard A-League fans are signing up, you'd think the numbers right now would be pretty low.

Probably been covered but can you cast it from your phone to the telly?  (I have built in chromecast but no app store on it.)

Nevermind. Just signed up on a monthly basis and it all works tickety boo.

Also agree about lack of other content. Woeful.

Can only hope it improves or as soon as the season finishes I'm out.

The non football offerings are laughable sadly, paramount really needed that 1-2 punch, the epl would have been perfect but not to be.

you would likely have to be a die hard A league fan to get it now, in terms of general football offerings Optus+Kayo represent the best offerings as a whole.

Ive never been but a trip to Anfield Rd is infinitely more appealing than going to Geelong Oval to watch WU. Sadly for your little "authentic football" league the overwhelming majority of soccer lovers in this country agree with me. Maybe Paramount can appeal to the AFL and NRL fans that aren't watching the Ashes this summer... that will boost your popularity... metrics boy, its all about them metrics.

At least you can go hang out at the Scouser Social Club in Liverpool and vote for their board members hey Mr. Plastic Man

Well the fact that it is another nail in the coffin for the closed shop, foreign owned Aleague makes me ecstatic. 

This should keep you plastics happy at least

Will be interesting what the direction will be then,  if paramount are going in for football and just missed out on the EPL, are they going to go for anything else or is it just Australian football. 
They've currently missed out on the EPL and Champions League since they've come in essentially so it doesn't look like they are in for everything. 

It's a pain to have multiple streaming services for football but oh well. 

last i looked they havent confirmed exactly how many devices you can have going at once but in the US it is 3. i have tried it here and can confirm that you have 2 going at the same time. 

I just saw that, damn. I have Optus already, but was really hoping it would go to P+

Looks like six more years of EPL for Optus 

Anyone know if you can have multiple devices playing Paramount+ at once?

Have a profile but want to know if others can use it.

Anybody see the new Ad on 10 for the season featuring Tara? Impressive stuff.

It's not about it not having content yet, there's no real need to yet,  but it's not set up to be user friendly for football.  ATM football is on the 15th line of programs in the app, where it should really have a tab with all the other sub categories at the top. Maybe they will utilise the "live tv" tab at the bottom. But it could be done alot better. 

Paramount haven't even started their coverage yet, it makes sense they haven't been filling up their app with content that is not yet available. Things should change soon though

It's annoy me too.

Between that and no app for any TVs besides androids (LG and Samsung are pretty damn popular) it's starting to worry me that this all seems pretty half arsed so far.

I can only assume APL are banking on the fact most a-league supporters are in younger age brackets and tech savvy

Surely they are going to update the app and create a football tab, pretty shitty having football at the bottom of the app.
Notice they've posted their first thing in the a-league part, a small weekly fixture video. 

That keepup thing is pretty good.  

It has streaming available for past Matildas & Socceroos matches, so should also have it available for the A-League.

Edit: And the other AFC qualifiers (not involving Socceroos) as well.

Do those that have signed up already know if Paramount has on demand streaming of past matches. Ie Can you come home from the match and then stream a  replay or only watch the games live?
Thanks

Have seen someone do a piece on his career before,  pretty decent and pretty big to lure him away from Europe. 

As for paramount, they better put a football tab at the top of the app because it's bloody annoying scrolling through the garbage to get to the football. 

With less than a week to go until we kick off the A-Leagues - we are excited to welcome lead commentator Robbie Thomson to the 10 Football team, after a decorated stint calling the beautiful game in Europe and interviewing some of the sports biggest stars ⚽

Gotta love 10 ... after the match last night watch the next two qualifiers mostly at the same time...

Never have we had this much to watch and support

I switched on Paramount last night just before kickoff and there was a banner that took up the whole screen “press play to watch Socceroos v Saudi Arabia.”

Now, that’s what I wanna see.
