WATCH: Laser pointer incident during England’s match against Denmark prompts UEFA investigation

Jul 8 2021

England’s historic semi-final win over Denmark on Wednesday has sent social media users across the globe into a frenzy for all the wrong reasons. While England made history by securing a spot in the Euro 2020 final, it was a green laser pointer in Kasper Schmeichel’s face that is making the headlines, with UEFA launching an investigation on the matter.

Schmeichel had a laser shone on his face the moment Harry Kane stepped up for an extra-time penalty, which Schmeichel saved but Kane managed to secure the goal on the rebound.

Is this real? A laser pointer in Schmeichel's face when he was about to save the penalty last night? Only just saw this and can't vouch for source. #ENG #englandvdenmark pic.twitter.com/O9hO5rGYr8

Jul 8 2021

After 12 long months without being able to organise standing events, operators around Malta have been striving to create a safe space where attendees can dance stress-free and the Glitch Club Series has returned to make sure of that.

The popular Glitch Festival’s younger sibling was set to host 100 individuals upon presentation of vaccine certificate and ID card, but sold out within minutes, with the second event just a day after selling once more.

Damn we all missed this so much right? The extra Opening night has also sold out in less than 5 minutes. We hate…

This phenomenal instance speaks volumes about the island’s club scene’s yearning for a return to what we once familiarised ourselves with as normality and hopefully paves the way for a new, safe clubbing scene.
