After 117 minutes of turgid, boring football, ITV skip to a commercial break in the middle of the match and miss the only goal of the game, a fine solo effort by young Dan Gosling.
Was that deliberate? Opportunism at its worst? Were they trying to cram in a couple of adverts before the shootout began?
They might claim it was accidental (which the subsequent faults may lend credence to) but the fact that they resumed coverage immediately after the goal is mightily suspicious.
One minute I'm watching a football match, the next minute I'm watching that stupid VW advert of a middle aged man in a suit fighting himself, the next minute I'm watching Everton players celebrating. Utterly shambolic.
To compound that, the commentators gave us a half-arsed apology "if you missed the goal". What do you mean, "if"? Every single viewer in the country missed it, there's no "if".
I really hope somebody gets sacked for that. BBC, Sky, Setanta, anybody, save us.
