London - (Offside Mess): Last weekend's 69 second hard porn interruption of US Super Bowl XLIII was nothing as compared to the UK's very own televised football glitch last night.
Two minutes before the end of extra time in the live FA Cup fourth round replay clash between Liverpool and Everton ITV bosses decided to sweeten the climax for their five million viewers with a tacky Tic-Tac ad in place of Everton player Dan Gosling's left-footed shocker.
"We got screwed!" one irate footie fan screamed down the phone to the Broadcasting Standards Council.
"Feckin' balls-up!" is how another fan described it as mortified ITV execs went scurrying to their lawyers following a national outcry against the mint-flavored sweet company whose coitus-interruptus ad brought such shame to English soccer.
"Feckin' fooball, who needs it?" was the general consensus among ITV's other, mostly female, viewers.
