Press pitch regularly ignored, which is funny (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ironic

'is funny' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'press pitch regularly ignored' is the wordplay.
'press' becomes 'iron' (ironing is a kind of pressing).
'regularly ignored' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternating letters of 'pitch' are 'ic'.
'iron'+'ic'='IRONIC'

'which' is the link.

(Other definitions for ironic that I've seen before include "Paradoxical, contradictory" , "W. Country port, its Channel" , "Using the opposite of the truth for humorous effect" , "Describes a statement that says the opposite of what is clearly the case" , "Paradoxical or sarcastic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
