Accrington’s Sam Finley gets eight-game ban for calling opponent ‘pikey’

The Accrington Stanley midfielder Sam Finley has been handed an eight-match ban for calling the Republic of Ireland international Paul McShane a “pikey”.

Finley was charged with an aggravated breach of the Football Association’s rules after a League One game against McShane’s Rochdale in January. An independent regulatory commission has found the comment was a slur based on the Wicklow-born defender’s nationality and as well as the suspension fined Finley £850 and ordered him to attend an FA education course.

Liverpool among clubs to wish support to hospitalised John Toshack

Liverpool, Swansea and Cardiff have wished their former striker John Toshack well after reports that he has been in intensive care in a Barcelona hospital.

According to the Spanish newspaper El Diario Vasco, the 72-year-old was taken to hospital last Monday with severe pneumonia after contracting coronavirus and since Saturday has been on a ventilator. Toshack played for Cardiff before his hugely successful spell in the 1970s with Liverpool, and was then player-manager of Swansea.

Kai Havertz’s struggles to fit in sum up Arsenal’s unsettled start to season

The ball sat up for Kai Havertz at the edge of the box. Very briefly, the possibility loomed that he might be about to arrive. This was the perfect moment for him to cast off all the doubts. Smash this into the top corner, win the north London derby with a brilliant late winner, and in an instant his journey in fans’ affections from puzzlement to embrace would have been completed.

It was not an easy chance, far from it, but so much the better: nobody becomes a hero with a tap-in. But the ball bounced fractionally higher than he’d anticipated, he made contact with the outside of his boot and the shot flew harmlessly high and wide. Havertz chewed the collar of his shirt: he knew what that moment represented.

The NFL’s biggest revenge games of 2022

The 2022 NFL season is just over two weeks away from kicking off, and this year will see a host of big game rematches from last year.

Week 1: Baker Mayfield vs. Cleveland Browns source: Getty Images Once the Mayfield trade from Cleveland to Carolina was official, it was a foregone conclusion for most that he’d be the starter for game one of the season against the team that sent him packing. Now that Baker’s “officially” been named QB1 by Matt Rhule, we can look ahead to this matchup. This game will be the highlight of Baker’s first season with the Panthers, as he’s always played…
