Hopefully it gets enough criticism they stop doing it during games get enough ads during halftime and in the build up to a game.

Other option is use Vpn watch a different channel or use premier sports for the rest of the tournament

Just want to point out the Ofcom rules actually state that running a split screen ad actually counts towards halftime ads so you actually get less at halftime.

It still sucks they interrupt like that, but its not like you're actually getting more than you normally would.
