BARCELONA'S Facebook post showing off their unveiling of Philippe Coutinho was "made in the summer"... with Liverpool fans furious.Eagle-eyed Reds supporters noticed the date of the video posted by the La Liga giants read "August", instead of "January".Coutinho, 25, had been expected to sign for Barcelona last summer, but stubborn Jurgen Klopp managed to cling on to him until now.However, Liverpool ultimately caved, begrudgingly accepting Barcelona's £145million deal for their "Little Magician".After announcing the transfer, a clearly ecstatic Barca social team shared a video - showing them "following" Coutinho on Facebook and Instagram.However, when they view the Brazilian star's social media to follow, the dates on all the most recent posts clearly show the date as being August.Jim Lucas, head of social media for the FA, spotted the flaw in the video and posted on his Twitter.Lucas tweeted: "Look at the date of Coutinho’s Facebook post. @FCBarcelona made this video last … [Read more...] about Barcelona Facebook post of Philippe Coutinho unveiling ‘made in summer’… with Liverpool fans livid

Man who spent two years in jail for rape has conviction quashed after Facebook messages are revealed
A man who spent more than two years in prison after he was sentenced for rape has had his conviction quashed after a series of Facebook messages were uncovered. Danny Kay, 26, is questioning why police failed to retrieve evidence prior to his now overturned conviction, and why he had to rely on his family to clear his name. Mr Kay was jailed for four-and-a-half years in 2013 after he was found guilty of raping a woman in 2012, when he was 20, at Derby Crown Court. The 26-year-old always denied rape and said sex had been consensual. At a hearing in the Court of Appeal in London in November, Mr Kay challenged the conviction saying Facebook messages had been found which supported his version of events and showed there had been contact after sex. Three appeal judges agreed the messages, which were found by his sister-in-law Sarah Maddison, were key evidence and quashed the conviction. Speaking after he was cleared, Mr Kay has expressed anger over the police handling of their investigation … [Read more...] about Man who spent two years in jail for rape has conviction quashed after Facebook messages are revealed

A boxing fan was hit with an £85,000 demand after a drunk pal streamed Anthony Joshua’s big fight to 4,250 people on Facebook. Craig Foster, 34, shelled out £19.95 to watch the sell-out Wembley bout on Sky at home with friends. But the media giant landed him with the knockout blow after one guest picked up Craig’s iPad, ran up Facebook Live, and pointed it at his TV. Sky tracked down Craig from a watermark of his account number which flashed up on screen during April’s bout, in which AJ beat Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko in the eleventh round. They cancelled his subscription – and sent him an £85,000 demand for the loss in revenue from pay-per-view sales. Dad-of-one Craig said: “I’d paid for the boxing, it wasn’t like I was making any money. "My iPad was signed in to my Facebook account and my friend just started streaming the fight. “I didn’t think anything of it, then a few days later they cut my subscription. … [Read more...] about Boxing fan hit with £85,000 bill after drunk pal streamed Anthony Joshua fight to 4,250 people on Facebook
