So the curse of ITV’s sports coverage strikes again. Not content with fucking up the F1 coverage for the best season the UK has had in a while, they have decided to let their (presumably) ‘quota-fillers’ loose on the football coverage. This is what happened if you missed it:
Thankfully, the Everton FC website will let you watch the goal, without having the urge to play golf with dickheads dressed as tampons.
Apparently, according to Michael Grade, it was a problem with the automatic advert thingy. But who cares? You fucked up. Stop making excuses. It’s just another reason why adverts are ruining TV. Why would there even BE an automatic advert-shower machine? Its asking for trouble isn’t it? In their endless pursuit to cram as many adverts as they can into sports coverage (2 in the half time break is just plain wrong) they have ruined the TV viewing pleasure of the entirety of Liverpool (and Dublin if you’re a Liverpool fan). The BBC is not without its faults, but its sports coverage is second to none, and I don’t think even Setanta would have made such a momentous fuck-up.
And, incidentally, anyone else think that “E-on sponsors the FA Cup – bringing family’s together” is a load of old tosh? Particularly that one where the bloke gets tackled and the women run over and tend to him. Not only is it outrageously stereotypical to women, if any bloke goes over like that on a football field, he deserves a booking for diving, and a damn good shoeing in the showers afterwards for being a wet blanket.
Anyway, I digress. Shame on ITV. Here’s hoping you are stripped of all football coverage in the future, if only to get that reprobate Townsend off our screens. Cunt.
