Not sure how you are all getting to listen because I haven't been able to in the past. Perhaps this is a new occurrence.

Interestingly, right at this moment, Radio 5 Live Sports Extra (a supplemental channel to Radio 5 Live) is currently playing the Middleborough vs. Sunderland match through TuneIn Radio on my iPhone, and the web site player for the same channel is giving the "blocked due to rights restrictions". Very strange. No VPN and both my computer and iPhone are currently connected through the same ISP (Shaw).
Initially, at least, it does appear that somehow the TuneIn app is able to find a stream that isn't geo and/or rights blocked.
To confuse things further, the schedule on both my iPhone and the web site say that it should be a Scottish match, but perhaps 5 Live moved the game over to the 5 Live Sports Extra so the main channel can talk about Capello.
Half time just started, so maybe someone else can check it out in 15 mins or so...
