They said that last time 
The replays aren't their fault, it'll be either FIFA or the host broadcaster who supplies the pictures.

Yep seems like the director gets a bit over excited but hopefully its just teething problems and the host broadcaster sorts its self out

"Last night's glitch was inexcusable and we are awaiting the results of our technical inquiry so we can put in place stringent and immediate procedures to address this."

ITV haven't learnt from their mistakes so come on people, you know what to do

My only fear is that the next world cup will end up on sky.
Pretty sure it's one of the 'crown jewels' and therefore has to be available on free to air TV.

Was it sabotage?
Paddy Power gave odds of 8/1 to there being an interuption in an ITV live game and with ITV HD broadcasts 4 seconds after the SD picture it gave someone enough time to ensure the HD picture was, ahem, tampered with. Enough to interupt the game for a few seconds.

The picture cut out more than 4 seconds before the goal though, didn't it?

As has posted above, the World Cup is one of the 'crown jewels' and all games have to be available to terrestrial TV

Typically, a load of pissed idiots blamed the pub itself. But actually, the reaction was quite good when people realised England had scored, people seemed to place that above the fact that they'd missed it.

Monty....apparently HD runs 4-6 seconds after normal TV, that is why they thought it was sabotage for betting purposes..
To be honest, the odds on that entire broadcast just purely missing the England goal are so ASTRONOMICAL that its almost quite a plausible theory. It makes you wonder.
I was already pissed off with ITV when they switched to adverts immeadiately before kick off so when they cut in to live play my language turned blue and then to find I had missed the goal!!! 
If they have to be allowed to broadcast "crown jewels" then they should be banned from showing adverts from 15 minutes before the game untill 15 minutes after.

Unfortunately for us to watch 'free' football it has to be paid for. The companies pay top rates for those slots to enable us to watch subscription free.
