      The Lionesses roared into the last 16 with a stunning 6-1 win over China in their final game in Group D.
      And now the nation is tuning in to BBC One to see whether they can build on that incredible victory and advance to the semi finals.
      However, an annoying time-lapse meant that the commentary on the game was actually a couple of seconds AHEAD of the action.
      And fans quickly took to Twitter to vent their fury as they urged the Beeb to get it sorted as quickly as possible.

      One asked: “Anyone else’s BBC commentary out of sync with the pictures?
      “Knew that shot had hit the bar and Mary Earps had made a save about a second before they happened.”

      Another raged: “If I have to pay a license fee the BBC could at least make sure their pictures and commentary are in sync.”
      A fellow viewer fumed: “The BBC commentary being a couple of seconds ahead of the cameras is really killing the suspense of #ENGNGA, to be honest.”

      Another viewer tweeted: “BBC commentary is in front of the game and it’s SO annoying. Basically telling me what’s going to happen before it actually does…”
      While a fellow fan demanded: “Why is the commentary out?! Sort it BBC.”
      It was a major own goal for BBC – especially after viewers had earlier declared that they could not “get enough” of Alex Scott ahead of England’s crunch showdown.
      The Lionesses’ legend appeared on screen to provide the pre-match coverage as she rocked a trendy black outfit.
      And fans quickly took to social media to hail the 38-year-old former England and Arsenal right-back on Twitter.

      Suzi, 45, claimed Faryal, 32, had initially pretended to be her husband before becoming “vile and abusive”.
      In an Instagram post, Suzi said she met Amir, 36, when she hosted a concert in Manchester in 2016, three years after he married Faryal.
      She says he began sending her with WhatsApp messages, calls and voicemails days after they met, alleging he made unwanted sexual advances.
      Amir denied the allegations, saying he does not remember Suzi and claiming she “is jumping on the bandwagon”.

      And model Faryal, mum to Amir’s three kids, today blasted the claims.
      She told The Sun: “This is all untrue. Amir has denied the accusations and doesn’t even remember this woman.
      “And what’s confusing is, why has it taken her seven years to address this?
      “She claims I said I’d ‘destroy’ her… it’s a load of rubbish.
      Most read in Boxing
      “I’ve never messaged her on Twitter – I don’t even remember ever seeing this woman’s face.”
      Suzi, who hosted the BBC Asian Network’s Official Asian Music Chart Show, made her comments after The Sun on Sunday revealed Amir had been sexting bridal model Sumaira, 25.
      We also told last month how he had cheated on Faryal with a 30-year-old brunette during a four-month affair.
      He and Faryal are now “living separately”.
      Bolton-born former world champ Amir is trying to heal the rift between them, and splashed out on a new £130,000 Mercedes G Wagon for her last week.
      He got it delivered wrapped in red ribbons and with a bouquet of red roses.
      But Faryal appeared stony-faced in a video of her getting behind the wheel of the motor in Dubai.

      Wild moment young Rangers and Lyon ‘hooligans’ meet up to brawl in a field – then get picture taken afterwards

      by

      IT’S certainly a different kind of image of football hooliganism from the one which became feared during the 1980s.But an image shared on social media appears to shows young supporters of Rangers and Lyon posing for a picture after an arranged 12 on 12 fight in a field.

      It’s claimed that members of the so-called ‘Rangers Riot Crew’ met up with their counterparts from the French side as they gathered for their side’s clash with Manchester United in Edinburgh.
      The Old Trafford side ran out victors on the day courtesy of a goal from reported Celtic target Donny van de Beek.
      Social media site Hooligans.cz shared the image, along with the words: “XX.07.2023, U25 fight, Rangers (RRC) vs Lyon, 12×12, 1,30 min.
      “Fair fight, win Lyon. Info Lyon: Big respect Rangers. On photo Rangers (RRC) and Lyon together”.

      And one Twitter user wrote in the comments. “Nothing better than the fair fight. Refreshing. Monday morning we put the mask on and we go to work 🙂 Till next time.”
      It isn’t the first time that images of this apparent Ibrox grouping have made the headlines.
      Back in March, a picture shared by several social media accounts, showed 12 people clad in blue tops and hoods posing for a picture in a woodland area.
      Their fists were raised as they stand behind a banner carrying the words ‘Rangers Riot Crew. – amid claims that it was an ‘arranged fight’ between fans of Rangers and fans of Brentford.

      The post says ‘originally meant to be 13×13 but call offs from Brentford so 2 rounds of 6×6 were done.’

      On what should have been routine dog walks, she revealed how a man repeatedly stopped her to ask to take pictures of her – as well as making requests the presenter chose not to go into.
      Emma said the repeated harassment left her feeling “uncomfortable” and urged people witnessing similar events to help those in “uncomfortable interactions.”
      On Twitter the football presenter wrote: “I’ve taken my puppy on the same walk near my house the last few days & the same man has repeatedly stopped me to tell me he wants to take photos of me (along with other stuff that I won’t mention here).
      “This makes women/girls feel uncomfortable & I would urge anyone who sees what looks like an uncomfortable interaction to not just ignore it and walk past.

      Always keep your phone nearby.
      Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.

      Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
      Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
      If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
      Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.

      A video on the Premier League’s Twitter showed the perspective of Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes as he operated from the midfield during Newcastle’s 3-3 draw with Aston Villa.
      The video showcased how Bruno is pivotal in building Newcastle’s attacks from midfield and also gave an insight into the relationship he is building with midfield partner Sandro Tonali.
      Tonali became Newcastle’s record signing earlier this month after joining for £60million from AC Milan.
      Guimaraes can be heard asking for a one-two with Tonali before being fouled to win a free kick for the Magpies.

      And fans on Twitter were quick to react with how much they loved the insight given by the body-cam footage.

      Another fan wrote: “Implement this in the PL right now!”

      One fan said: “Make ref cam a thing next season, please.”
      Another said: “Now camera and mic them up for league matches.”
      While a third wrote: “After this I’m A bit more sympathetic towards referees. Convinced we need like 2 refs on pitch to have a chance of a fair game.” More
