      Walsh – who used to be a footballer at Brentford and Barnet – went wide-eyed during a hilarious episode of the ITV show.
      Chaser Shaun Wallace and the contestant were locked in a heated battle.
      But everyone was left stunned when a bizarre football question popped up on screen.
      It read: “In football, if a direct free-kick goes straight into a team’s own goal, what is awarded to the opposing team?”

      Both the contestant and Chaser Wallace appeared confused as they pondered the answers.
      The three were “goal”. “indirect free-kick” and “corner.”
      But Walsh was adamant he knew the answer.
      After the contestant pressed their button, he declared: “You don’t have to (watch football to know).

      “If a direct free-kick goes into its team’s own goal, then it’s got to be a goal, because it’s an own goal.”
      The screen then revealed the contestant had chosen “corner.”
      Walsh said: “You’ve put a corner? Why have you done that?
      “It’s got to be a goal. A goal’s a goal.”
      However, the contestant soon saw a flashing green signal for a correct answer.
      And Walsh’s jaw hit the floor as he tried to make sense of things.
      He added: “I’m not having that!”
      The contestant replied: “Every day’s a school day!”
      Indeed, regulation 13 of the FA’s Laws of the Game states that a corner kick is the correct procedure if a team hits a direct free kick into their own goal.
      But like Walsh, fans at home were also left scratching their heads.
      One said: “Football fans, have you heard of this rule? It’s scrambling my head.”

      Another noted: “I don’t understand why that wouldn’t just be an own goal?”
      One added: “I heard about it but thought it was classing trolling, but guess not.” More

      The now 40-year-old came through the ranks at Chelsea’s academy and scored four goals in 25 top-flight matches for the Blues.
      He enjoyed loan spells at Wolves, Charlton and Aston Villa before he was snapped up by West Ham in 2006.
      And he went on to stay at Upton Park for nine seasons, during which time he also earned international recognition.
      After making his England debut in a friendly against Spain in 2009, he won six more caps for the Three Lions throughout his career.

      This 6ft 3in frontman left the East End for Scottish giants Celtic in 2015 but he struggled to make an impact at Parkhead.
      After just four Premiership appearances, he headed to America for a brief spell at USL Western Conference outfit Sacramento Republic before finishing his playing days with Persib Bandung in Indonesia.
      Since retiring, the ace entered the world of punditry and has worked for talkSPORT and BT Sports – which is now known as TNT Sports.
      The man we are talking about is, of course, Carlton Cole.

      Fans love seeing him on the big screen, especially when covering former club West Ham’s exploits in Europe, and he certainly looks a natural in front of the cameras.
      However, Cole appeared to be a little embarrassed and uncomfortable after his recent appearance on ITV’s The Chase.
      The much-loved Croydon-born star shared a clip of his attempt to beat the Chasers on X, formerly known as Twitter, this week.
      And it showed Hegerty – known as the Governess – leaving him squirming dressed in brown trousers, a white tee underneath a denim shirt in front of a laughing audience. 
      The brief footage showed the usually no-nonsense Chaser telling him: “Carlton, big fan of your football skills,” before cheekily adding: “I love your tackle.”
      That led to the embarrassed former footy star letting out a huge: “Woahhhh.”
      Then Hegerty continued: “And it seems like you’ve got some quiz chops as well.”
      Cole accompanied the clip with the caption: “Enjoyed my time on #TheChase #BeatTheChasers @itvchase @itv.
      “Also donated to @whufoundation who I work with quite closely to make the community a better place for all. It’s now available to stream on @itvxofficial.”
      “Oi oi,” responded one fan to the clip, while another declared that they “loved it”.
      Some had already tuned in to watch the full episode and were quick to praise him for his efforts – although you will have to see it yourself to see if he managed to Beat The Chasers.

      “You were fab Carlton,” said one of his followers.
      While a fellow viewer added: “Yes brother you done well and you well enjoyed it.”

      Celtic fan in Twitter spat with The Chase’s Jenny Ryan over Rangers ‘triple relegation’ question

      by

      THE CHASE’S Jenny Ryan has been caught up in a Twitter spat with Celtic fans over a question about Rangers’ ‘relegation’.
      Monday night’s show caused a storm with footie punters when presenter Bradley Walsh asked players: “Which Scottish football team was triple-relegated in 2012?”

      Contestant Ben was quickest off the mark by answering “Rangers”, which was deemed correct by Bradley.
      That sparked an uproar among supporters of other teams who believe Gers are a new club following their financial troubles eight years ago.
      And one Celtic fan took Jenny to task on Twitter over the controversial topic, with the quiz guru initially hitting back at accusations she doesn’t smile on screen.
      He then replied: “One favour, though. Tell your researches that Rangers were not ‘triple-relegated’ in 2012.

      The quiz guru was unhappy after being dragged into the age-old debate
      “The SFA articles of association state that club/company are the same. The co. Went bust, and a new club formed.”
      Jenny responded: “They’re not my researchers”, to which the fan, named Steven, added: “Ok.. THE researchers”.
      Clearly irked, she then blasted: “I don’t get to tell the researchers anything, they don’t work for me.
      “But I *do* know that all questions on the Chase are fully sourced and then verified, to ensure the accuracy of the material.”

      Chaser Jenny appears to have since deleted the tweets.
      Rangers plunged into administration in February 2012 before eventually being liquidated and were forced to start again at the foot of Scottish football as a Newco.
      The Light Blues eventually worked their way to the Premiership from the fourth tier of our professional game and are now competing for titles and Europa League football.
