Drinking water from Mississippi and coming to River Severn can be different. It wasn’t too late for the two American stars, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, to arrive in Britain and kick off their own magical script. But this time, it was their turn, in fact, just Rob, who had to learn something about English soccer. Even though he might now have thought it to be a great deal, the Wrexham AFC co-owner would have had to deal with a bigger scenario than expected.

McElhenney’s spontaneous thought of buying a soccer club turned out to be the vision of the divine. However, the process the two owners are going through seems to involve learning. Although funny, like the monastery class taken before meeting the King, Rob will fancy this incident as bizarre.

Rob was deprived of Wrexham’s match

Welcome to Wrexham season 2 is out making waves on the internet already. Deemed to have less of Reynolds this time, the show has already spiced up, showing the club’s last season’s triumphant journey. But in a recent episode, the English soccer law could have found Rob on the wrong side, trying to watch Wrexham’s match at 3 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon. The actor then learned that English rules were a bit different.

For those who may not know, watching or streaming soccer at 3 p.m. on a Saturday is an offensive verb in England and Wales. The match Rob was about to watch was a Wrexham’s away game. But the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star got away with it at the right time. The issue could have led to legal issues surrounding the law.

The blackout rule doesn’t now allow any soccer to be streamed or broadcast between 3 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. on Saturdays.

Why the blackout rule?

The blackout rule, which many people consider weird, was meant to benefit the lower-league matches. The regulation was made in the 1960s in order to discourage fans from staying back and watching matches at home on Saturday afternoons. The idea was that it could lead to a decrease in ticket revenue and financial loss eventually with them not attending matches physically. The soccer head, under the influence of the then Burnley chairman, brought about this law prohibiting any broadcasting in the stipulated time.

Rob was not particularly impressed with the situation, claiming that he did not intend to create any havoc or chaos around the world. He said “I just wanted to watch the game. I didn’t think it was a very big deal.” 

His defense was that he just wanted to watch his team’s match on the screen. But the star understood the legal standpoint and had no choice but to let go. The English drama around Rob’s life with Wrexham is nothing short of a mini-British course.
