The draw for the sixth round of the JJB Irish Cup was thrown into confusion after one of the numbers was called out twice during the live TV broadcast.
The problem arose when the Irish FA's senior clubs chairman Robert Cupples mistakenly called out the number 10 after drawing ball six from the cup.
Ten was the number allocated to Warrenpoint or Cliftonville.
Moments later the real number 10 was drawn and supervising IFA official Andy Johnston knew a blunder had been made.
The live TV pictures made it easy to see where the error had been made and the make up of the eight ties was clarified.

No, thank you. I honestly never thought of it like that until I read your elegant articulation of the point. Cheers!

Kuled always does that, he just posts '' or 'ok' into threads that don't interest him.

True. Or the Yellow Bandit, which meshes quite nicely with one of his other nicknames: the Ass Bandit.

Actually it happened on BBC Norn Iron. So confusing that calling the Northern Ireland league the Irish league.

It's a rare breed of lawyer-cunt that was originally indigenous to Michigan but migrated to the Middle East after the collapse of the American rust belt saw the species' job sources almost entirely depleted.

How does a six look anything like a 10?
