Re: Football : Season 08/09
Seems a lot of peeps missed the goal, in this area we did get a short flash of an ad break a few minutes earlier, it was only on screen for a few second, then the screen went blank before the live footy came back on well before the goal.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
To me it did look like a technical hitch. It seemed like they lost the picture, went to adverts incorrectly and came back as soon as possible. I don't think anyone in ITV would have been stupid enough to schedule an ad break in the last few minutes of extra time.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
Ironically, on the analogue cable feed I was watching it on, it came back bloody quick! But what a time to go to adverts; as bad as their F1 coverage of the 2005 San Marino Grand Prix (cut to adverts 5 laps from the end, come back for the last lap, with Schumacher right on Alonso's tail for about the last 20 laps), or the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix (adverts just as Schumacher's engine blows around Degner).

Re: Football : Season 08/09
In Scotland and Ireland we had it on Setanta 2 and there was no hitch at all. Same coverage, same cameras, different commentators, no blips. You figure?

Re: Football : Season 08/09
Fantasy football demons haunting me. Lampards red card means he's bound to miss some games so who better than to replace him with than Gerrard.

Lampard isn't banned though, his red card was rescinded.

I think harmitage was playing the irony card I'm guessing he changed Lamps for Gerrard before the card was rescinded and before Gerrards hammy went.
He sounds as lucky as my missus with her FF team, she is banned from selecting United players, the kiss of death, She picked Gomes at the start of the season, recently brought in Defoe...need I say more.

Exactly it. I was also thinking I'd get an extra game out of Gerrard due to the replay.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
Can someone explain, why the game was on Setanta 2, here is Middlesex, although l watched ITV,
As it is strange the game was ion Ireland and Scotland, can someone explain, ITV SHOULD lose the rights, it should go to Channel 5, who produce some great football coverage, ITV should be taught a lesson, the most importan goal, going, and ITV miss it.

My understanding is that ITV have the right to show their choice of game in England only. That's why Setanta are free to show it in Scotland.

ASAIK the match was on Setanta 2 in Ireland, not sure about Scotland. As Ireland get the pictures from ITV and chose themselves when to have an ad break cut away to their studio etc they weren't affected by the problem.
ITV use different playout centres to send the pictures to different aerials across the country, these playout centres also insert the ads which is why you can get a different ad in London to Newcastle for local news and things. These playout centres are programmed with auto ad breaks at certain times of the day and it seems in some of them when the match went to OT someone forgot to remove the auto ad break and it kicked in.
It was a mistake pure and simple, plenty of other channels have done the same thing and missed things if we take sport off ITV then there will be very few channels left to show these things
