Canonical seems to have deleted flash player. Where can i download (from terminal or browser and install myself with sudo) for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

i uninstalled as some live sport site was not wwortking, then tried : 

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Error I got :

    Yes, the version has been updated since last time you run that command. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jun 04 '17 at 15:42
  • Thank you. worked now. Though the website i wanted doe snot work still. guess wil try ububtu 16 like my other laptop. anyway should i delete this q? – tgkprog Jun 04 '17 at 17:13
  • I'm not sure I understand why switching to a later Ubuntu version would make a difference in this respect. The 14.04 archive contains the latest version of both Firefox and Flash. Maybe you want to ask another question... But yes, it makes sense to delete this question. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jun 04 '17 at 21:19
  • I have 2 devices at home. one running Ubuntu 16 LTS (laptop more ram 4 core) and the other 14. both acer. 14 one has 2 GB Ram, a tablet... not sure what to do to make it work. will search more :_) – tgkprog Jun 04 '17 at 21:37
  • Using ubuntu 20.04 now. Flash working or not needed...:-) – tgkprog May 21 '20 at 16:43
