Because the advertising was supposed to be delayed until after the extra time. The automated system kicked in when it shouldn't have . . .

The FA / Liverpool / Everton should apologise for serving up the previous 118 minutes of complete pish 
.
The ITV automated system was obviously trying to wake everybody up !

FPMSL Totally true to life and one of the reasons I cant stand the game.
Although I do sympathise, as ITV did something similar in F1 a couple of years back
. So glad F1 is back on the BBC this year.

I feel its the FA that should apologise to the viewers for just accepting ITV's highest bid rather than those from more professional broadcasters. Everything is mediocre about ITV's football, from the presenters to the pundits to the producers.
The FA might realise that the highest bid may not produce the most revenue if the media coverage isn't up to scratch - no wonder ITV are apologising!

Mr Gray said: "Such a comment is really a reflection on Jeremy Clarkson and speaks for itself.
"Most people here are proud that the prime minister is a Scot and believe him to be the right person to get the UK through this global economic crisis."

Surely they apologised for their incompetence in allowing that ad to go out at the wrong time. In doing so they spoiled that goal for all those viewers. It was the least they could do under the circumstances.

When its a second leg cup game there's potential extra time and penalties, yes, more than one interval. They don't go to ad breaks in the middle of a half, which is what happened here, 2 minutes from time.

I read that they cut to a break due to 'technical problems'. I don't buy that though - they mentioned 'transmitters'...
Also its odd, as most live OB trucks have an EVS or MAV machine - its a bit like SKY+ as you can 'pause' live action. It's what you use to 'do' a break in live shows...
Very odd state of affairs really and TOTALLY unforgivable.
