Fans have their say on who they want as new Rochdale manager following Jim McNulty’s departure, becoming the head coach at Stockport. The 41 year old has signed a three-year deal, replacing Dave Challinor at Edgeley Park, leaving Dale, who he guided to League Two through the National League playoffs.

Oleksandr Usyk has been confronted by allegations that he is running scared, preferring to enter a rematch with Rico Verhoeven than face his mandatory challenger. The 39-year-old came through a tougher-than-expected encounter with Verhoeven last month, when many expected him to dismantle the former kickboxer in double-quick fashion. As it happened, though, a subpar performance from Usyk saw their heavyweight contest progress into round 11, at which point the Ukrainian was trailing on one of the judges’ scorecards. The southpaw then managed to capitalise on a fatigued Verhoeven, who was floored by a right uppercut before being stopped on his…

With overtaking,…
Tom Latham – 3Three runs in the match but it is the manner of his dismissal in the second innings that stands out. The loosest of loose drives to gift England a wicket on a pitch where bowlers really did not need any favours.Devon Conway – 4Umpire’s call went against him as Robinson got on a roll first time round but battled hard to make 41 in the second to give the Black Caps a flicker of hope.

The Football Association offers guidance to the grassroots game, which places an emphasis on planning.It says that it is “the responsibility of the match official to determine whether a fixture should be postponed, cancelled or abandoned”.Officials and competition organisers ensure conditions are safe for a game to begin, or continue. When it comes to a game in the Premier League or the English Football League, the referee will make the call.It is unusual for an electrical storm to cause a game to be paused or postponed in England – largely because it is a winter sport and few games take…

Magennis said it was important to help the likes of the teenager trio who are not playing senior football for their clubs, and are making the step up on the international stage.”It’s a different type of game for them but it’s just sort of just communicating with them and helping them bed in as quickly as possible because there’s no doubt they’re an unbelievable talent.”If all goes well, God-willing, they can be a generational talent for Northern Ireland.”It goes beyond the attackers, too.Against Guinea, Northern Ireland named their youngest starting team since the end of World War Two with an…
