Can't quite believe this has happened again, but I'm almost 100% sure it would have been out of control of ITV just like last time at the FA cup.
A cue to a break would have left in the schedule and not overridden.
ITV don't do the transmission, a very different company does,
Once is an accident twice is incompetant
Or would he have trapped the ball and tried to turn his man, like a goal scoring forward would have?

Howard looked pretty pissed off, maybe something to do with a Liverpool player scoring against him!

Exactly, but it won't be ITVs fault - although they will apologise and not say publically that it was the other company's fault.
I know ITVs general coverage can be a bit rubbish, but things like that really are in the hands of someone else - not a small company either.
To be fair, "ITV transmission" is by all accounts a bit of a nightmare to operate and the chances of it going wrong at the time of a goal is very slim.
Whoops.
Less likely to happen at the BBC because they don't breaks (which really complicate things) but worth mentioning that they don't do their own transmission either.
Unfortunately someone not a great wage will (by any standards) will be in a lot of trouble on Monday if it's down to human error.

They do the transmission themselves.
Technically this is a bigger cock up than last time, because there wouldn't have been a scheduled break like last time.
I'd imagine it's a computer gone a bit mental.

Nope, they are just bringing the live feed in. That was very much a local problem originating in the UK.

Milner off in less than 30 minutes? I would guess on top of the yellow card that Milner has shown to be a little less fit than they hoped, which would make him more likely to be redded off the field.

Why the f*** has Milner gone off?

No ads on Aussie coverage of the game.
And the soothing dulcetones of Martin Tyler to bring it home.
