Tommy Robinson jailed for 18 months ...
at 13:18 28 Oct 2024

"Passing sentence, Mr Justice Johnson said the activist has not shown any remorse and has been found to be committed contempt of court on three previous occasions, adding that he “regards himself as above the law”.

“The breaches were not accidental or negligent or merely reckless,” he said. “Each breach of the injunction was a considered and planned and deliberate and direct and flagrant breach of the court’s order.”

"He continued: “Nobody is above the law. Nobody can pick and choose which injunctions they obey and those they do not.”

Olympics legend Sir Chris Hoy reveals he has two to four years to live ...
at 22:36 19 Oct 2024

"Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy has revealed doctors have given him two to four years to live after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Hoy, 48, revealed earlier this year he was undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer in 2023, explaining the treatment was ‘going really well’.

But in an interview with The Sunday Times, one of Great Britain’s greatest ever sportsmen has now revealed his condition is terminal.

‘As unnatural as it feels, this is nature. You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process,’ cycling legend Hoy said."

West Bromwich Albion U -21 1 v 2 Swansea City U -21
at 11:49 18 Oct 2024

"Coach Anthony Wright was proud of Swansea City Under-21s' battling performance following their last-gasp 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

Swansea led with 10 minutes played after Aimar Govea's cross was turned into the back of his own net by Muhamed Diomande.

And the visitors retained their lead at the break with Richard Faakye and Iestyn Jones to the fore defensively.

However, the hosts levelled through Oliver Bostock in the final quarter of the contest.

But Govea netted a dramatic last-gasp winner to claim all three points under the lights in the Premier League Cup contest.

"I'm really proud of the players' efforts. We haven't played in around three and-a-half weeks, and at times it showed with a little lack of consistency and momentum," said Wright.

"We had to defend our box extremely well at times, and I thought the boys did that brilliantly against a good category one side who kept throwing everything at us.

"West Brom played with such high intensity, and we had to step up to that at times. They play the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham week-in, week-out.

"We played some terrific football at times, their application was great. Ben Hughes got himself some good saves in goal, and it was good to see him play.

"And a last-minute winner is always a great feeling, you could see that by the way the boys celebrated together.

"They showed great desire and courage to dig deep in the final minutes, you could see some were struggling but they kept going.

"To top it off, we played at a Championship stadium, which is an experience the boys need more of, it’s always a great occasion for them."

Burnley agreement with Swansea City is looking like one to forget

"Burnley supporters could be forgiven for forgetting that striker Michael Obafemi is still one of their players after the 24-year-old completed a loan move to Plymouth Argyle last month, following on from his loan spell at Millwall last season.

The Irishman only joined the Clarets 18 months ago, and it's safe to say that his time at Turf Moor has been a miserable one so far."
