BBC chiefs sparked a Twitter storm last night after it missed Theresa May's keynote Brexit speech because an FA cup replay went into extra time.
The corportations flagship channel continued showing the Southampton and Derby third round clash as the PM's statement at 10pm was moved onto BBC Two.
It sparked a wave of criticism from viewers who had tuned into to watch the address, but equally others said they were pleased TV bosses decided to stay with the football.
'Great idea get Brexit sorted while Lineker is distracted,' quipped Jack Murray, while others went for the more predictable, 'At least we'll know the game will get us a result'.

The nail-biter meant live coverage of the Prime Minister's statement was shifted from the corporation's flagship channel onto BBC2, providing plenty of opportunities for gags from Twitter users
The Prime Minister used the address from outside Number 10 to urge MPs to put aside their self-interest to find a way forward on Brexit and hit out at Jeremy Corbyn for refusing to meet her.
It appeared few Twitter users lamented its absence from BBC1 though, with one user writing: 'How fitting that Theresa May's inevitably predictable speech about nothing much in particular or anything particularly new has been bumped off by the football.'
Connor Staitey wrote: 'Listen to Theresa May speech or watch 2nd half of extra time in a good tie ....... tough one I think I’ll watch the football @BBCSport.'
Others cited the incident as an example of good old-fashioned British eccentricity.
One said: 'For those outside the UK: Theresa May is about to give a speech. It was planned to be aired on BBC One, but it's had to be moved to BBC Two because a football match went into extra time.'
Many people on Twitter cited the incident as an example of good old-fashioned British eccentricity
Scott Bryan wrote: 'Theresa May is doing the speech at 10pm hoping it will be on News at Ten but it will be on BBC Two due to football BREXIT NEVER CEASES TO SURPRISE.'
And Jay Denney added: 'Eccentricity and idiosyncrasy are core parts of our national skill set.'
Southampton v Derby ended in a 2-2 draw before Derby won on penalties.
Jonathan Wren thought there was a lesson in that, joking: 'Perhaps Brexit could be resolved by a Leave/Remain penalty shoot out?'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
