ITV aren’t a brilliant broadcaster, are they?

Firstly they subject us to Clive Tyldesley and Jim Beglin on a semi-regular basis, and now they have completed a fairly impressive hat trick, in cutting away three times during high profile football matches.

In 2009, the channel missed Dan Gosling’s extra-time winner for Everton against Liverpool in the FA Cup, and then HD viewers famously managed to miss Steven Gerrard’s goal for England against the USA at the 2010 World Cup.

Last night the trio was completed when in extra time Mark Austin from ITV news appeared on screens looking very serious in front of a picture of David Cameron.

A statement from the channel read: “A technical fault in extra-time resulted in a brief break in transmission for some viewers in the south east, for which we apologise”

Three strikes and you’re out?
