@willuminare praxis is watching the football and not paying your tv license and also watching it via a stream of BBC1 on IPTV (which negates the awful iplayer delay)

Looks like BBC iPlayer has collapsed with the huge volume of people trying to watch the football. It's as if they never expected a huge number of people to be watching on iPlayer at work. Typical BBC being sloppy as ****.
