Dave: Not to be outdone by the Comcast coverage of the Superbowl, ITV decided to have a laugh with almost the whole of England.
Everton were hosting Liverpool Wednesday for their 4th Round FA Cup replay. After almost 3 and a half hours of football (including the draw at Anfield about 10 days ago) the two teams were still even, and seemingly headed for penalty kicks. But two minutes from time youngster Dan Gosling scored the winner to send the Toffees on and the Reds out of the cup. Too bad nobody in England saw it.
It really is amazing timing. Almost two hours of football on Wednesday and ITV manages to pick the only moments to muck things up. Again, this is about 12-and-a-half minutes into the second period of extra time (so maths: after 117:30 of 120 minutes).
There I am, wandering what is going on after 30 seconds of adverts before the commentator's voice explodes into my earphones and the picture returns: "A Masterstroke. Finish of a seasoned veteran! A special goal for Dan Gosling!".... :O
So that is what bothered me this 5th of February 2009... although really it happened last night so...
ach never mind.
Here's the video:
