Spot the own goal...

The Football Association (FA) has demanded "a full explanation" into how viewers missed a crucial FA Cup goal due to a technical hitch.

Everton's winner against Liverpool in extra time happened as ITV1's coverage abruptly went to advert breaks for Tic Tac mints and Volkswagen cars.

ITV boss Michael Grade has said the glitch, which has prompted 1,000 complaints, was "inexcusable".

ITV's coverage of this competition has been cack-handed (to say the least).
At least on the other side of the pond, they can do a cock-up with style...

US sports fans in Arizona got a surprise when their TV coverage of American football's Super Bowl XLIII was interrupted by 30 seconds of porn.

Tucson-based KVOA-TV said it was "dismayed and disappointed" after some cable viewers had their match coverage disrupted towards the end of the game by a 30-second excerpt from Club Jenna, an adult cable TV channel.

PS: in case you're wondering the identity of the "cheerleader", it's none other than adult actress Brandy Talore, who celebrated her 27th birthday this week (Brandy was born on February 2, 1982 in Toledo, Ohio).
