      UK broadcast outlets reportedly agree deal with Fifa to televise this year’s Women’s World Cup

      by

      AN agreement to air this year’s Women’s World Cup on television in the UK is thought to have been reached, according to reports.  This comes just over six months after the launch of Fifa’s tender process for the sale of tournament media rights to UK broadcasters.

      It is reported the deal could see the BBC and ITV share coverage of the tournament’s games including matches involving the LionessesCredit: Prime Media
      Earlier this week The Independent reported a deal was still outstanding with sources informing the paper that offers from UK channels were “lowballing Fifa”.
      Talks were also said to still be ongoing. 
      Today the Daily Mail reports a “major breakthrough” has been reached in regard to the contest being aired on national television. 
      It is claimed an agreement is expected to be confirmed and publicised in the near future.

      And it also thought the deal could potentially see coverage shared by BBC, who along with Sky Sports broadcast Women’s Super League games, and ITV. 
      This year’s World Cup will take place a year after the Euros hosted in England with the Lionesses and their rivals pulling in record stadium crowds and television viewers. 
      Last July’s Euros final, broadcast on BBC One and won by Sarina Wiegman’s players at Wembley, was watched by a peak TV audience of 17.4 million viewers. 
      The viewing figures made it the most watched women’s football match in the history of UK television and the most-viewed TV event of last year.

      And in December the FA revealed 23.3million people watched the final on TV or online.

      It is hoped England’s success at last year’s Euros will lead to high numbers of viewers of the World Cup in July and August with the Lionesses and the Republic of Ireland among the 32 sides competing. 
      Due to the time difference between the UK and the World Cup’s hosts Australia and New Zealand, England’s matches will be taking place when many viewers will be asleep or out at work. 
      However, with tournament timing coinciding with the school holidays, coverage of matches could see younger audiences engaged with rising interest in the game amongst girls as well as women. More

      Match of the Day prankster Dan Jarvis who tricked Gary Lineker with porn noise reveals how he did it

      by

      SEX noise prankster Daniel “Jarvo” Jarvis told how he beat security by marching into a football stadium with TV crew — and even helped himself to beers in a hospitality box.He and a pal later activated a £20 phone — one of the world’s loudest — to pump moans around the live Match of the Day studio.

      The stunt had BBC host Gary Lineker in stitches and stunned millions watching Tuesday’s Wolves v Liverpool FA Cup replay.
      YouTuber Jarvo, 30, wore black jeans and coat to blend in as he and the pal followed a TV crew into Wolves’s Molineux stadium a day before kick-off, nodding at security who let them pass unchecked.
      The pair used double-sided tape to stick the gold Yepen mobile to a 7ft wall on set, and changed the ringtone to the raunchy soundtrack.
      Jarvo told The Sun: “These things are all about confidence.“We got in because we made it look like we were meant to be there, so no one bats an eyelid.

      “If you hesitate, then you’ll get asked questions. But people from Wolves thought we were with the TV, and vice versa.
      “TV crews don’t dress particularly smartly so I fitted right in. There were about four staff working in the studio. We tried not to speak to them much, just saying ‘How are you?’
      “Our plan was to strap it under a chair or the table, but they might’ve got suspicious if we started moving stuff around.
      “So we strapped it to the top of the wall and because of the colour no one could see it. We had a cheers with the beers afterwards then it was a waiting game, hoping no one had found the phone.”
      Most read in Football
      A YouTube video posted during Tuesday’s match showed Jarvo call the phone to trigger the X-rated noise.
      He added: “I was at my cousin’s and couldn’t believe it worked. It was hilarious. We’ve tried this before and it didn’t work. But this must’ve been the magic of the FA Cup.”
      Jarvo and his mate spent 90 minutes inside Molineux. They filmed a jokey interview in the mix zone and posed in the dugouts.

      Jarvo, known as Jarvo69 online, added: “Staff didn’t say anything. I was tempted to jump in the home changing room ice bath but didn’t have a towel. I also used the toilet in the away dressing room, which is terrible — it’s like a PE changing room from the ’90s. After we planted the phone, we had a beer and got out.”
      Jarvo rang the phone at 1am on Tuesday to check it had not been found. He then buzzed it around 12 times from a burner device after the BBC went live at 7.30pm.
      The noise drowned out Lineker as he cut to the commentary team.
      He could barely be heard saying: “It is toasty in this studio. I am not sure if someone is sending something on somebody’s phone.”
      Jarvo streamed his calls, cracking up with laughter while ringing his mate who was inside Molineux recording the studio reaction.
      It showed pundit Paul Ince pointing to the noise’s source, while crew searched for it to no avail.
      Jarvo, of Gravesend, Kent, said: “There is a short delay with the TV so I was worried it didn’t work, but the camera went back to Lineker at the perfect time.
      “Those situations are so funny because no one has been in it before. You could see they were panicking but Lineker is such a pro and handled it really well. Everyone seems to have loved it. I feel like we’ve cheered up the nation a bit at a bad time.”
      Jarvo tried to prank BT Sport’s coverage of Fulham v Tottenham in 2021 but was let down by that phone’s sound quality.
      The incident also sparked a police alert.

      This time he bought five phones after searching for the world’s loudest mobiles.
      Man Utd fan Jarvo said: “This Yepen worked a treat. We’ve still got a few so TV and the Premier League better watch out!”
      Police have said it was not a criminal offence.
      The BBC apologised to viewers who may have been offended but Lineker said the corporation had nothing to say sorry for.
      He shared a picture of the phone after it was discovered and said: “As sabotage goes, it was quite amusing.”
      Liverpool won 1-0 and Lineker said at half-time: “Harvey Elliott’s goal was a screamer . . . which was not the only one we’ve had tonight.”

      Yesterday talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist joked he’d never heard such a noise in his life, adding: “I’ve been doing it wrong for 40 years!”
      Jarvo added: “This prank will go down in history. I’ve always got things planned. I can’t tell you what’s next.” More

      Gary Lineker laughs off Match of the Day ‘porn noise’ scandal & enjoyed half-time analysis with sex-filled innuendo

      GARY Lineker yesterday laughed off the Match of the Day “porn noise” scandal — and said he took great pleasure filling his half-time analysis with sex-filled innuendo.The presenter said the BBC has had to look at its security measures following YouTuber Daniel “Jarvo” Jarvis’s stunt.

      The presenter said he enjoyed his half-time analysis with sex-filled innuendo – pictured The Sun’s coverage of the story
      But Gary, 62, who memorably had an on-pitch “accident” during England’s 1990 World Cup opener, joked: “If you told me yesterday morning that I’d be on the front page of The Sun, involved with a porn ­scandal, I’d have s*** myself — again!”
      Gary added: “I thought it was funny, and the YouTube prankster has shown his work.
      “It was that loud that I couldn’t really hear myself think, or what the other guys were saying, and realised people could probably hear it at home so I knew I had to both keep it together, whilst also addressing the matter.
      “In these situations, you have to keep your head.

      “Yes, it’s funny but you can’t overwhelm the show — you can’t ignore it.
      “But, and after the studio manager had located the strap-on phone, I started to have a bit of fun with it all.
      “So at half-time every question I asked about the analysis, my comments were some kind of reference to it.
      “Things like ‘Wolves huffed and puffed’ or ‘the only goal was a screamer — and not the only screamer we had’, and ‘Liverpool pressed really hard in trying to get behind them’ — all that kind of thing.
      Most read in Football
      “It was daft but it really did amuse me. And once I realised it was a prank, I knew that if I started laughing I probably wouldn’t have stopped.
      “It was the most surreal and one of the strangest things I’ve ever encountered in broadcasting.”
      Prankster Jarvo, a serial pitch invader, had broken into the studio and activated a sexy sounds ring tone on a mobile phone, which he hid on the set.
      He then called the phone during Gary’s studio segments at the Wolves v Liverpool FA Cup replay at Molineux on Tuesday.
      The BBC later issued a po-faced apology.
      But Gary questioned that decision.
      He said: “I’m not sure why the BBC apologised because it’s not our fault obviously.
      “It’s a security issue, and there is a serious side to it; if someone can do that, they can do something else with something that could be more dangerous.
      “But, in this instance, I felt that universally people were finding it really funny.

      “And actually I have to agree with them, even if it was at our expense.

      Pundits Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer struggled to hide their embarrassment as they were forced to compete with an odd noise that viewers likened to a porn film.
      It was later revealed that a notorious prankster Dan Jarvis had hidden a mobile phone on the TV set at Molineux.
      He activated the sexy sounds ring-tone simply by ringing the mobile as he watched the live pictures on BBC1.
      And the joker has now admitted that he carried out another cheeky act under security’s noses just minutes after planting the phone.

      Prankster Dan revealed that he and a pal brazenly knocked back a beer from a hospitality box before getting out of the TV set.
      He told The Sun: “All the boxes were open and we just walked in there – there was no one to stop us.
      “We both had a Corona and just chilled out.
      “In those situations, you just want to be as relaxed as possible and be yourself, so that’s what we did.
      Most read in Football
      “We did a cheers with the beers after getting out of there.  It was hilarious.
      “At that point we didn’t know we’d nailed it as there was still some time to wait.”
      The honking noises started just moments before the FA Cup third round replay was about to get underway.
      It was first played as Lineker went live to co-commentator Shearer who was waiting to speak to him in the stadium.
      Lineker started laughing and said: “I don’t know who’s making that noise.
      “I don’t know if somebody is sending a joke on someone’s phone, I don’t know if you heard it at home.”
      Being the professional that he is, Lineker continued to present the show impeccably despite the sound simply not going away.
      It kept stopping and then restarting almost immediately.
      A BBC spokesperson said: “We apologise to any viewers offended during the live coverage of the football this evening.
      “We are investigating how this happened.”
      However, former football star Lineker insisted that the BBC has “nothing to apologise for” after the controversy.
      The 62-year-old said: “The BBC have issued some sort of apology, I know not why. It’s certainly got nothing to apologise for.
      “It was quite hard to carry on the pre-match build-up and take it seriously when this was going on in the background.
      “As pranks go, it was a good one and credit to them. It was funny I thought.”
      Once the game had started, Shearer joked that it was coming from Danny Murphy’s phone with the ex-Liverpool man also in the studio.
      But Lineker took to Twitter to reveal exactly what had happened.

      The sound of the moaning lady played in the background as Match of the Day host Gary Lineker and pundits Paul Ince, Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy tried their best to give in-depth analysis.
      The prank was set up by YouTuber Jarvo, who taped a mobile phone to the desk and set the porn noise as a ringtone and called it.
      And it prompted talkSPORT presenter Woods to conduct a thorough sweep of their studio before going on the airwaves on Wednesday morning.
      She said: “I brought a SWAT team in here this morning to double-check every single chair, everyone’s device, nothing is leaking in this studio in terms of audio, or hopefully anything else!”

      McCoist said of the hilarious incident: “I thought for a minute, I wasn’t too happy because I’m watching it while I was actually at the Pink Floyd tribute concert.
      “But when I saw the highlights of it, I’m looking at Gary, and I know Danny Murphy is in the studio.
      “And I’m thinking to myself, ‘that’s unbelievable.’
      “On ITV we only get a cup of tea, they are having the time of there life there! Danny’s having the time of his life!’”

      Woods jokingly asked: “Is that where all of our taxpayers’ money goes?”
      Former Rangers and Scotland hitman McCoist replied: “I think so!
      “At ITV we only get a cup of tea and maybe a sandwich, and they are getting added perks like that, that’s incredible.”
      But McCoist drew a huge laugh from Woods and listeners by saying: “Sadly I’ve never heard that!
      “I’ve never heard those kind of sounds in my life!
      “The only time I’ve heard that is on the phone!”
      Woods explained the prank that has got many a person in trouble by saying: “So basically it was the top of the show, the guys were in the studio, it was the FA Cup third round replay, Gary Lineker was hosting it.
      “It was Wolves against Liverpool, and Danny Murphy was just in mid flow with explaining just his thoughts on football really, and you know that thing when someone pranks you, you open your phone and turn it up really loud, and then it’s a woman enjoying herself, sexually.”
      McCoist interjected, saying: “Enjoying herself? She was having the time of her life!”

      He added: “I’m going to say it, I’m going to put my cards on the table, guys have got to message us this morning, because I’ve got an admission to make, for the best part of 40 years I must been doing it wrong!
      “Because I’ve not heard that. I’ve been doing it wrong for 40 years!”
      McCoist loved the prank by Jarvo, which Lineker himself later laughed at.
      But the Scot then bizarrely asked listeners how to elicit a similar reaction in his personal life.
      He said: “I mean that is genius, they’ve thought about that.
      “Did they (BBC pundits) try and talk over it?
      “Because there was no talking over that lady. She was on a different planet.

      “I know this probably isn’t the show for it, but what brings that on?

      He proudly announced at the beginning of the video: “Here we are, we have set up a phone with a loud sex noise in the BBC studios at the Wolves v Liverpool FA Cup replay.”
      Jarvo69 watches the coverage with his phone held carefully in hand, waiting for the moment to pull off his practical joke.
      He has also now posted a short video to Twitter showing himself in the Beeb studio before coverage began.
