    Doesn't seem to work now. According to a recent review, it's stopped working since it was added to the Chrome Web Store. So, what else does it actually do?

    Lads, Hola Unblocker (for Firefox and Chrome) is generally the most user-friendly plug-in for circumventing geoblocking.
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    Gave it a try but doesn't seem to work for RTÉ Player either, unfortunately.

    It still works for me for BBC, ITV, Hulu, etc. Can't test it on RTE Player though so apologies for suggesting it for that.

    I find Media Hint works with RTE and BBC, you don't have to apologise, you can tell Danny to eff off

    But my usage is conditional, I'm using Macos and I can only get it to work on Chrome.
    And it didn't work to begin with, I needed to restart.
    Firefox is weak on Macos to begin with and just goes into an infinite loop when trying to use the proxy extension, but that maybe just my experience.

    Bill quotes made-up stats from Daniel Harris' tongue-in-cheek transfer gossip column as fact last night:

    Harris wrote in his tongue-in-cheek transfer gossip column that ‘The former Manchester United manager David Moyes spent 10 months watching 39,432 players a total of 5,097,301 times, only to sign Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata.’

    Now this is obviously a joke – a throwaway remark. Unfortunately not everyone realised this…

    George also struggled with the maths in the commentary. When Man Utd were leading 3-0 (3-2 on aggregate), George said a number of times, 'if Olympiakos score one, then United have to score 2'.

    Yeah, I think he takes the common expression "the away goal is worth double" too literally.

    My biggest away goal pet hate though - When the away team win the first leg 1-0 and they say it was vital to score an "away goal", even though that away goal can't possibly count as anything other than a regular goal.

    Heard someone down the pub during the Greek leg of the Olympiakos-United game saying that if United pulled one back (to 2-1 down), the tie would be level as away goals count double.

    That phrase just needs to be eradicated from football, tbh.

    He's a struggler. I walked past a sandwich eatery in Spinningfields this afternoon on the way to work and happened to spot George, of all people, through the window struggling to gobble up a freshly-stuffed baguette for lunch.

    He'd be struggling anyway if all the high stools were occupied.

    The senior analyst for the PSG vs Chelsea game last night said "Eamon tells me that PSG are running away with the French league". Surely this is something the senior analyst should be aware of himself without relying on someone else to tell him. My wife's nephew, who was watching the game with me, thought it was an unbelievable comment from a so-called expert about to give us the low down on PSG so it wasn't just me.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
