    Forgive me if this has been explained before. I understand that away matches will no longer be on iFollow so 10 Euros and a vpn won’t let me view them. As Sky now has the rights does that mean local pubs will be showing them? Any suggestions or do I have to pay for a day’s now TV?

    I understood that all matches are on iFollow if you’re viewing from overseas, so why wouldn’t a VPN let you view them?
    Happy for someone to correct me if I’ve got that wrong.

    This is presumed to be the case but as yet there's no way to log in and pay anywhere that I have seen

    City’s web site says if a VPN is detected then you’ll be cut off and no refund given

    That’s pretty much a non starter . My Norton security runs via a VPN , so are we to ditch our online security settings Or am I missing something ?

    Well without a VPN it’ll detect you as being in the UK so won’t be able to view.
    A VPN obviously gets around the location but if they now have methods to detect it then sadly it’s game over for some.
    Have to go retro and listen to radio commentary only

    The BBC also has a van that comes round and can detect whether you're watching live TV without a licence.

    Not sure how they’d cut you off unless they block login to the iFollow account as if they blocked the IP you’d simply disconnect and join from a different location.

    And don’t forget the dye in the swimming pool that detects if you’re having a piss in it.

    I've only ever heard of it once, but I've never, ever seen it.

    This topic will keep the mods on their toes, though. Expecting it to be moved to "Pee Detection in Pools" discussion!

    What we need is an additive in the grass at VP so when someone shite plays football on it then it turns purple ...........

    On second thoughts, maybe not!

    That's always been the case... depends on how decent the vpn is on whether it will get picked up or not

    It’s a bit strange, as a bone fide iFollow viewer outside of the UK, I haven’t had any renewal emails or even information about what is happening with iFollow. I did hear some rumours that it may not be operating due to the Sky Deal.
