      Kammy — famed for his catchphrase of “Unbelievable Jeff” when giving match updates to Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling — told how he was on a busy Heathrow to King’s Cross service when he offered a “mature lady” the chance to sit down in his place.
      Chris, 66, said she replied: “Why would I need to?”
      He added on X/Twitter: “I gave her a look of disdain.
      “On reflection, I didn’t offer my seat to any blokes of a mature age.

      “So my apologies. Chivalry is dead.”
      The broadcaster added: “I have chewed on this since Tuesday night and realise I am still a dinosaur.
      “I’m sorry and accept that I was in the wrong and hopefully won’t do it again.”
      Some on the social media platform backed the star, saying: “As a mature woman, I commend your good manners.”

      But others insisted he was being old-fashioned, and sexist, and one said: “I don’t want men to offer me a seat, thanks.”
      Unsurprisingly, popular Chris was backed by male fans, with one saying writing: “Manners maketh the man.”
      Another fan added: “She is the one at fault.
      “There aren’t many of us left.”
      Last year, Chris received an MBE for services to charity and anti-racism.
      He has previously told how he was diagnosed with speech disorder, apraxia.
      The condition affects pathways from the brain, making it difficult for someone to say what they want correctly or consistently.
      Chris had experimental treatment in Mexico which he says has helped. More

      Geraldine, also mum to Roma, two, wrote alongside one of the snaps showing the proud parents and their children: “Now we are Roma and Charlotte.”
      Roma celebrated her second birthday last November, while Luis’s dad was still being held by kidnappers in their native Colombia.
      Geraldine also posted a message from a relative on social media which said: “Welcome my beautiful Charlotte. God bless you. And congratulations mummy and daddy.”
      The Liverpool winger also published a touching photo of him in a hospital head cap cuddling up to his youngest daughter on one side while his wife kissed her on the cheek.

      And in a joint message on social media, the couple wrote alongside one of the photos of the latest addition to their family: “It’s a long-awaited and desired girl, who came into our lives with incredible magic.
      “On our seventh anniversary, April 25, we decided it was time to see our family grow.
      “Just a month later, also on the 25th, this time in May, we received the news that we did not expect to hear so soon, our baby was already with us.
      “And today, January 25, on a day that we already considered special, our little girl arrived. God has blessed us with our daughter.

      “Charlotte has arrived to fill us with laughter, love and unforgettable moments. Now the 25th of each month belongs to her. Welcome our magical princess.”
      The footballer’s father Luis Manuel Díaz Jimenez, 58, feared he wouldn’t make it out alive as he endured a terrifying 12-day ordeal after being kidnapped by ELN guerrillas in Colombia.
      He was freed in a handover involving a Colombian priest close to the Venezuelan border on November 9 last year.
      His son continued playing through the harrowing episode, scoring a late goal after coming on as a substitute in Liverpool’s November 5 win over Luton.
      He then returned to Colombia to be reunited with his dad in emotional scenes following his release.
      He went on to score two goals for his country in a historic victory over Brazil in a match his father watched from the stands.
      The ELN, branded a terrorist organisation by the US government and the EU, admitted responsibility for the kidnapping before Luis Manuel’s release.
      Four alleged members of a gang called Los Primos, said to have carried out the kidnap and handed Mr Diaz over to a regional ELN unit called the Northern War Front, were subsequently arrested and are believed to be still in prison awaiting trial.

      Bizarre moment bitter referee sends off footie star for ‘disrespectful’ act at end of match

      by

      A REFEREE issued the most bizarre red card after a highly unusual incident that saw him getting trolled in Turkey.Ilker Yasin Avcı blew his whistle for last time on Sunday following the Turkish second-division match between Genclerbirligi and Sakaryaspor.
      A referee pulled out the strangest red card in Turkey
      Sakaryaspor ace Murat Cem Akpınar trolled referee Ilker Yasin Avcı
      Akpinar went for a handshake but pulled his hand away and Avci sent him off
      That was when Sakarayaspor ace Murat Cem Akpınar, who plays on loan from Trabzonspor, approached the ref and extended his arm to seemingly shake his hand.
      And just when the official was ready to return the favour – in what he thought was an act of sportsmanship – Akpinar pulled his hand away.
      That enraged Avci who immediately reached into his pocket and whipped out a yellow card.
      That was the midfielder’s second booking of the night and it ultimately led to a red card.

      Fans were divided on social media as some thought the Turkish ace deserved to be sent off as he was “disrespectful” but others argued the referee was just being a little too bitter.
      One fan tweeted: “IS THERE REALLY SUCH A RULE?”
      Another commented: “He deserved it.”
      A third wondered: “What happened?”

      This fan said: “Since when is that a red card?”
      And that one wrote: “I was going to ask if there is such an application, but the football player was disrespectful.”
      Genclerbirligi won 3-1 at home and Sakaryaspor were left unhappy with Avci’s officiating.
      The visitors’ chief Semih Ciftci and technical manager Turgay Karslı criticised the official and the linesman after the game.
      Fans were left divided on social media as to whether the ref was right
      Ciftci said: “The referees were very malicious. There was a penalty in the second half. We say, ‘Let them show the position on VAR’.
      “The referee said, ‘No! Don’t talk or I’ll give you a yellow card’. Also, the linesmen threatened us and did not let us talk. They give a yellow card to anyone who objects.
      “They are threatening speeches on the field. We cannot express ourselves.
      “In the position for the second goal, the opponent player takes [Rajko] Rotman down to the ground as if wrestling. How can they not see this? It’s incredible, we can’t understand it.

      “We could not understand these decisions of the referees. How do these happen, and on what basis are these decisions made? Let these be explained and let them tell us.
      “Let’s say ‘thank you’ and be content with our rights. But we will not remain silent this way.” More

      “I keep my silence, it’s better, that’s how I am. Everyone knows me, I respect everyone, I don’t need to shoot anyone but God’s justice is there.”
      Regragui, who led Morocco to a historic fourth-place finish at the 2022 World Cup and made them the first ever African side to reach the semi-finals, offered his version of events.
      The former Toulouse player told L’Equipe: “I said to [Congo manager Sebastien] Desabre: ‘Bring him back to me, he’s going crazy, he’s talking nonsense’. I didn’t like it because it insinuates a lot of things.

      “And that’s what happened… Before I went to shake his hand, he took me and my assistant to task on the sidelines before the end of the game, he spoke badly to us. And Desabre knows it.”

      But he took aim at his Ballon d’Or and Best Awards snubs by saying: “I think that, in a way, these awards are losing credibility. We have to analyse the entire season.

      Cruiserweight monster LEAVES Tyson Fury training camp after just five rounds of sparring and fans think they know why

      by

      RUMOURS that a monster cruiserweight was sent home from Tyson Fury’s training camp after just five rounds of sparring have been quickly denied.The 35-year-old Gypsy King will attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in over 25 years next month when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh.

      The Brit has provided his supporters with their first glimpse at his secret Saudi training camp for the biggest fight of his career.
      Usually outspoken Fury had essentially gone radio silent ahead of the showdown and has not been regularly taking to social media like usual.
      But he did provide some insight into what he’s been doing as he shared a clip of himself and his team getting a training session in at the gym.
      Now some more news from his camp has emerged after it was revealed that unbeaten 24-0 Aussie cruiserweight star Jai Opetaia had been drafted in for sparring.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      But after just five rounds of working with the 6ft 9in Fury, he had left and returned Down Under – sparking some wild claims from boxing fans.
      Fox Sports Australia’s Ben Damon started the rumours when he revealed that the two had sparred.
      He wrote on X: “Jai Opetaia did five rounds of sparring with Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia but with a lack of orthodox sparring in Fury’s camp Opetaia has now returned to Australia to continue his own preparations for the planned Mairis Briedis rematch at #FuryUsyk.”
      That instantly led to widespread speculation on social media as fans believed they knew the reason why the 28-year-old had left the Gypsy King’s camp.

      “Haha he defo sparked out Fury,” claimed one.
      Another said: “Jai rolled in with the thunder from down under and got sent home.”
      “Dropped in Sparring? Sparred only 5 rounds? Yeah jai cracked him,” claimed a third.
      While another wrote: “Hahahaha what’s he done to Fury?”
      However, one fan asked Damon directly, saying: “Did you hear anything about Jai dropping Fury in their sparring?”
      To which Damon replied: “Yep I heard it didn’t happen.”
      Opetaia will face Briedis in his next fight on the undercard of Fury versus Usyk next month.
      The 6ft 2in star holds the Ring magazine and lineal cruiserweight titles but vacated his IBF one after a disagreement with them last month.
      After seeing the rumours spread like wildfire online, his co-promoters quickly responded to the claims that he had dropped Fury.
      A statement from Tasman Fighters said: “Jai Opetaia has recently returned from Saudi Arabia where he sparred and trained with Tyson Fury.
      “They were fantastic, competitive rounds and an incredible experience for Jai.”
      It continued: “However any talk of either boxer being dropped is not true.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      “Jai is now back in Australia finalising his preparation to defend his world title and cannot wait to do so in Saudi Arabia.” 
      SunSport understands that nobody in Fury’s camp matches either the orthodox stance or the 6ft 1in size of Briedis, hence Opetaia heading home to spar with someone of a similar ilk.
