Aug 18 2021 Share

Yesterday the MFA announced a new rule which will see local referees have the ability to halt and abandon games if racist abuse is present from either the crowd or on the pitch.

There will be a 3-step procedure every match. Step number one will be communication from the referee and match officials to the supporters by the use of the PA system. They will tell supporters to calm down and stop, but if the abuse keeps on going after the match is restarted then the referee will halt the match for a few minutes. If the abuse continues even after the halt, then the referee can abandon the game and the racism case will be referred to the Control, Disciplinary and Ethics Committee.

These rules will hopefully eradicate all type of abuse in football. Football should be a community where you are left to let free not to be abused because of your race, religion or sexuality.

More Sex Education Season 3 Teaser Photos a month before release

More Sex Education Season 3 Teaser Photos a month before release
Aug 18 2021 Share

As the third season of fan favourite series Sex Education draws nearer, more teaser photos have been released and we’re super excited! We’ve got photos of Aimee and Maeve looking super badass, a super cute photo of Adam and Eric strolling through the woods together holding hands and a photo with Otis rocking a bit of a moustache.


Fans are however asking where is Gillian Anderson, who plays Jean, Otis’ mother. She has not yet appeared in any promotional material unlike every other character, old and new. The cast will be revitalised with a new headmistress, headmaster Groff’s older brother and a new non-binary student. They will be joining the well-established cast as we find out what will happen following season 2’s heartbreaking and nerve-wracking cliff hanger. We will also be getting some development to Eric’s relationship with Adam and, once Jean is set to appear, an update on her motherhood status (to keep it spoiler free).

Yorgen Fenech stocked up on grenades, guns and poison following Galizia murder

Yorgen Fenech stocked up on grenades, guns and poison following Galizia murder
Aug 18 2021 Share

A year after journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered, Yorgen Fenech purchased an arsenal of grenades, poison, machine guns, pistols and around 800 bullets. The purchases were made on the dark web and paid for by using cryptocurrency Bitcoin, as revealed by deputy attorney general Philip Galea Farrugia as Fenech faces trial for complicity in the murder of Galizia. 

Two grenades, two Glock pistols, two machine guns, Scorpions (a type of rifle), silencers for the pistols and around 800 bullets were purchased. A separate purchase resulted in Fenech receiving an email assuring him that a 20-gram shipment of potassium cyanide has been shipped to him. The chemical releases a highly toxic gas. The purchases were made in November 2018, which happens to be the same month Times of Malta and Reuters revealed Fenech was the owner of secret offshore company 17 Black.

Watch: Former couple awkwardly draw each other at snooker British open

Aug 18 2021 Share

Mark Allen beat ex-girlfriend Reanne Evans 3-2  in their first game against each other. The pair don’t have the best of relationships and this was seen when Reanne rejected Mark’s fist bump before the game.

 

Mark and Reanne broke up back in 2008, but are still in a child maintenance dispute over their 14-year old daughter. After the win, Mark told the press “It was awful and I wouldn’t want to do it again really,” he also went on to compliment his opponent “She potted some brilliant balls under pressure. That puts you under pressure because then your safety has to be pinpoint and mine wasn’t quite there.”

Reanne Evans also didn’t want the match as she told the press “No one wanted that match but you have to respect the top players. I am absolutely gutted but I am really proud at the same time. Reanne is one of the sole female representatives in snooker. The 12-time champion is very vocal about the pay gap between men and women, as even she admitted that when she won her championship she received a prize of £450 whilst Ronnie O’Sullivan received £250,000 when he won his championship.

“She was very unfortunate not to go on and win 3-1…I just want to play snooker.
