I subscribe to an online service to avoid the 3pm blackout in the UK. Often it’s a close call whether notifications from the BBC Sport app happen before the goal happens on my TV. Also friends can text or post to group chats who are either at the game or listening on the radio. The usual television delay of a few seconds generally isn’t enough to receive an app notification or text about the goal prior to it happening on screen.
(For the avoidance of doubt this is a legitimate service available to users outside the UK, bought from a registered company that holds the rights outside the UK, that pays appropriate taxes in it’s registered territory. My view is that rules set by football associations don’t supersede my rights to purchase goods and services across the European Union)

All the same, I would be rather careful when it comes to splashing that information all over the internet forums. The fact that you pay an organisation to supply you with content that they do not have the right to provide to you is still unlawful, however you dress it up.
