The Football Supporters’ Association has for some time backed changing the law.Like the prime minister, it considers it to be unfair on football fans.”I think it is outdated,” FSA chairman Tom Greatrex told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.”If you go to watch football in Germany or in other places around the world, then it’s perfectly acceptable.”It is civilised and appropriate. There’s no reason why that shouldn’t be the case for football fans, as it is for fans of rugby league, watching Oasis, or anything else that happens often in the same stadiums in the same seats.”The FSA’s position is…

De Zerbi is a very passionate, straight-talking and ambitious manager who demands total commitment and backing from his board.He has definitely had that at Spurs, which has left people wondering why he has made such a slow start.But, before the season started, I thought his biggest challenge with so many different types of players arriving would be to put players together that fit as a team, not as a group of individuals.I’ve been in that situation myself, for example in my early days at Stoke, when I signed Gerry Taggart and Michael Duberry to play together, two centre-halves who were…

Tiffany Stratton floated the idea of becoming a two-time Money in the Bank winner, but Carmella was quick to remind her that WWE has already been there before. The former WWE star jumped into the conversation after footage of Stratton questioning whether anyone had ever pulled it off started making the rounds on social media. In the clip, Stratton wondered aloud what it would look like if she captured the briefcase for a second time. “What if I was a 2 time Money In The Bank winner?” That apparently caught Carmella’s attention, because she reposted the clip with a response…
Andy Burnham has branded a ban on fans being allowed to drink alcohol in the stands during men’s football matches as “discrimination”.The prime minister told reporters that “I don’t think it’s fair for football fans to be singled out”, as he suggested a change could be trialled.Laws are in place which prevent drinking in view of the pitch at stadiums for clubs in the top five tiers of men’s football in England.
