Not really it just means the block on EPL matches is now applied to Ireland, the same as the UK. Ireland might as well do a brexit and join the union again what a load of pussies. Saying that the vast majority of the country follow English sides instead of their own clubs so maybe that's want they want.
The isps are all for it and since when the fuck does the EPL have jurisdiction in Ireland? And why isn't the ban Europe wide? Think the French are going to be told what to block from the English premier league so they can keep their over paid tossers in dosh.
