On the subject of tie, match fixed! (8)

I believe the answer is:

thematic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'on the subject' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'tie match fixed' is the wordplay.
'fixed' indicates an anagram.
'tie'+'match'='tiematch'
'tiematch' is an anagram of 'THEMATIC'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thematic that I've seen before include "relevant to subject" , "Related to a particular subject" , "Topical" , "Relating to a particular subject" , "Relating to a particular topic" .)
