RTÉ Player showed Cool Runnings during the match yesterday, and people were raging

“You dead, man?” “Yeah, man. RTÉ Player’s killing me.”

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, SOME Irish football fans tuned into RTÉ Player to watch the highly anticipated fixture between Ireland and Sweden… only to be greeted with this:

Just as the match build-up was getting underway, RTÉ Player started broadcasting clips from the 1993 comedy Cool Runnings at random intervals.

No, really.

Whoops!

@RTEplayer just to warn you, and I'm not making this up, your build up to the big match keeps getting interrupted by Cool Runnings!

Sorry, is it just me or is everybody's feed of @RTE2 on @RTEplayer constantly getting interrupted by Cool Runnings???!

This is not the time for a film about plucky Jamaican underdogs, RTÉ!

@RTEplayer Cool runnings is a great movie and all, but is there any chance you could stick back on the match? 👍 #IRL #EURO2016

Seriously.

The glitch appears to have stemmed from the fact that Cool Runnings was being broadcast on RTÉ Player International at the same time the match was airing. (RTÉ’s rights for all matches are restricted to the Republic of Ireland only.)

Note to RTÉ Player: try not to broadcast The Mighty Ducks during Ireland v. Belgium, yeah?
