It seems there are not to be any highlights to watch on the Rovers web site. I know iFollow is basically for EFL games, but I think in the past we saw cup highlights. There seems to be some on the Beeb web site, but they are blocked out for those of us living in the colonies - just as iFollow is for you living in the Mother Country.
Micky: one of the joys of modern media is that everyone competes to cover football and everything else for that matter. It is supposed to make for a healthier market, but the consumer is the one who has to shell out.
When Sky first came on the scene BBC lost a lot of its sport - in fact now it hardly has any left - but Sky was better in many ways because it was more or less comprehensive and went deeper, especially for golf and cricket. More recently though BT have come along and grabbed all the European Cup games and share with the BBC the FA Cup and cover some of the top tennis.
My Sky subs haven't gone down and now there is no European Championship football on show unless I pay another £25 or so per month to BT Sport.
This may well be "competition", but to me it seems to have created a very profitable business for BT Sport alongside Sky whose subs have risen despite less coverage.
So the TV companies and PL football clubs grow even richer and the consumer is the one that pays for it.
The BBC has no chance as politicians of the governing party do everything they can to diminish its position in broadcasting, most of all by trying to limit its access to state funds. Unfortunately this has led to a deterioration in the quality of its output as it struggles to "compete" with the mass of low grade entertainment provided by the hundreds of channels now available.
And Amazon etc are all ready to pounce now too ready to "give the consumer even more choice as to how he/she gets entertainment". Aren't we lucky?
Micky,Donaldo, if you can, get a VPN app for your computer. Then even if you are abroad it adapts your computer to think it's in the UK! It's free and not illegal . Also You can also buy a wifi mobile hotspot adapter and an international data Card from a UK mobile company to connect your machine to UK servers
Nookiebear,
Thanks for the info. However I found there were many VPN sites. Do you recommend a particular one for a Mac? ExpressVPN claims it works with all systems.
