Premature ejection

[anotheoldgit]

Isn't it now time for ITV to lose the rights of televising FA cup matches?

It is Berti if you follow the news.

I misread the heading of this question as 'Premier Ejection', and thought for one wonderful moment that Gordon Brown had been booted out. Oh, well. :o)

It would seem the yanks do it differently.

ITV should lose the right to exist. They are absolute rubbish anyway, so why pick on this? Give FA Cup rights, Dexter, and Coronation Street to the BBC, then close them down.

Of course, their gaff (by no means the first) was made a lot worse by the fact that it came as a goal (the only excitement in a dire match) was scored. If they'd only missed a throw-in, people would laugh at them rather than berate them, but their football coverage is pretty woeful generally.

As for David Pleat, who is too stupid to learn how to pronounce players' names properly, he sounds like the school nerd who only pretends to like football so he won't get bullied.
