Title: Rotherham game not available for overseas subscribers

Why? Also why wasn't the Accrington game on. Not even the full match replay.

Suspect Rotherham as live on sky rather than streamed.

Are you sure about this? As far as the Rotherham game, I know it says unavailable on the Rovers+ page but it also says that for the Everton game in the Vertu cup game. According to the subscription detais both League games AND the Vertu cup games should be live. I would wait to see if this is still the case in the next day or so.
The Accrington game was never advertised as live for overseas sunscribers.

I can confirm that the Rotherham game WILL be available to stream for supporters outside the UK and Republic of Ireland. All matches in the league and the Vertu Trophy are available. Matches in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup are not, due to broadcast agreements.

The reason the Rotherham game is currently showing as 'not available' is because the settings have not been switched back following the Carabao Cup game in midweek. Full disclosure - I've been off this week,  I'm the one who sorts it and I'm not anywhere with a decent internet access until I get home on Friday night when it'll be rectified.

There was a Middlesbrough full match replay and I thoroughly enjoyed it! So why isn't there one for the Accrington game? Is it something to do with your holiday Liam?

Is there no one that you could delegate the task to in your absence?

Give the guy a break jeez, its not the end of the world that there isn't one up yet. More important things in life...

At least Liam has the decency and honesty to come on the forum and highlight what the issue is and we are all entitled to holidays!
