Mar 5 2025 Share

The Malta Basketball Association announced disciplinary proceedings against Paul Ferrante, coach of Starlites, after he was caught on camera tripping Hibernians player Derek Brown.

This Tok place during the cup final, with the MBA saying that disciplinary proceedings against the coach ‘over alleged misconduct during Sunday’s match’ are underway.

‘The MBA also acknowledges the receipt of a report from Hibernians BC about the on-court incident whereby the alleged offence took place during the afore-mentioned game.’

‘The Malta Basketball Association has also taken cognisance of the comments and posts made by Hibernians BC player Derek Brown on his personal social media account/s. The Association’s Disciplinary Commissioner has also opened disciplinary proceedings against Mr Brown over violations of the MBA’s Disciplinary Code.’

This came after Brown posted the video, saying that ‘as I’m continuing my professional career here in Malta I was attacked by the other team’s coach. He hurt me by tripping me during a cup final. The @maltabasketball has done nothing about this as I was threatened with suspension if I don’t take down these videos.’

Peppi Azzopardi Suggests Changing ‘KANT’ To ‘AUNT’

Peppi Azzopardi Suggests Changing 'KANT' To 'AUNT'
Mar 5 2025 Share

Taking to social media, Xarabank host Peppi Azzopardi suggested, following the ban by the Eurovision Broadcasting Union on the word ‘KANT’, that the word be changed to ‘AUNT’.

“Change it to ‘Serving aunt’ – it sounds the same and they can’t stop you”, wrote Peppi.

Meanwhile, politician Arnold Cassola suggested that we invoke a philosophical giant but instead change the word ‘serving’.

“Instead of ‘serving’ substitute with Manwel. Manwel Kant. I want to see if the EBU has the courage to censor Europe’s foremost philosopher.”

Meanwhile, on Miriana’s post on Instagram, linguist and TikToker Kurt Rumbajsa suggested that Miriana say nothing during that moment and simply point the microphone to the audience.

What do you think should be done? Give us our suggestions below!
