    Talking Football fans finally get a taste what F1 fans had to deal with from ITV

    Apparently, last night (now), ITV managed to go to an ad break just in time to miss the only goal of an FA Cup game.

    After all the times ITV managed to pick the worst possible moment to stick an ad break in F1 races, I feel a certain sense of schadenfraude coming on...

    If my memory is correct, ITV would have been covering the 2005 Suzuka GP?
    Not sure what my sig is meant to be but should be something to do with Nico beating Schuey

    This incident is particular embarassing as unlike with F1; ITV don't show adverts during football matches. So it was doubly unfortunate that not only did they show an advert by mistake, but it was at the exact moment a goal was scored.

    I'd imagine because it was extra time there had been an advert break scheduled in for then as part of the post match coverage, but someone forgot to turn off the automatic system, oops.

    I was watching the match and didn't notice it wasn't live, still saw the goal.

    Did have to laugh though, football fans can finally see what the F1 fans complain about

    Have a heart for those of us that like both sports, I had to put up with the Imola incident and last nights balls up.

    I went f***king mental when they went to an ad and then returned for us to see the Everton players celebrating a goal. ITV are an embarassment of a TV station and should be put down as soon as possible because they do absolutely nothing of any value. 120 minutes of football and they manage to miss the most important part
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    I know....I am one of those too hence my earlier comment.

    Imagine if ITV had been showing Turkey games during the Euros last year....would have missed all their goals LOL.

    You guys need to get a decent satellite account. DSTV in South Africa provides me with uninterupted coverage of every European soccer match, cricket matches, motorsport races etc etc.

    The man on the ad break button must have been a Liverpool fan!
