Raheem Sterling has 300k watches and jewellery stolen from his gated home in Cobham, Surrey. This has to be a pretty professional job.

FifPro, the international players union, said it was "shocked and sickened" at the reports and called for the punishment to be revoked.

There have been widespread anti-government protests in Iran sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in custody in September having been detained for allegedly failing to follow the country's Islamic dress code.

A message posted by the official Twitter account of FifPro on Monday said:


Two former Iran national team footballers who were arrested on charges relating to the countrywide protests were released from custody last month on bail. Right-back Voria Ghafouri, who was arrested for "tarnishing the reputation of the national team and spreading propaganda against the state”, and former goalkeeper Parviz Boroumand were both detained for attending protest rallies in Tehran.

Charlie Austin is set to depart Brisbane Roar less than six months after joining the A-League club.

The former English Premier League striker is understood to have told his Roar teammates on Monday that he would be returning to the UK, possibly as early as next week.

Family reasons are understood to be behind Austin’s decision to ask to be released early from his two-year contract.

 

Is he coming back to show Lyndon how to lace up his boots?

 

I can tell you he pissed off his team mates by getting stuck into them for not showing heart and or putting in.
He was right tbh, but in saying that, he was quite opinionated.

 

Make of it as you will……. Charlie Austin

Sorry to see this as I remember him as a very entertaining player to watch;

Albion's charge up the table may be sh*t or bust for the club, some desperate accounting tells the story...

 

Interesting to see how they dodge FFP...

Two stewards are being treated in hospital after they were left with head injuries following a pitch invasion at a League One game.

Barnsley have launched an investigation after four officials were hurt during the match against Fleetwood at Oakwell on Thursday.

The incident happened in the 84th minute, shortly after Barnsley scored a late winner. Two of the stewards were taken to hospital. Two others received medical treatment at the ground.

The South Yorkshire club said it was reviewing CCTV footage.

Man sought over 'racially motivated' poo at cricketer Rafiq's home
In a statement Barnsley said: "This is completely unacceptable. Stewards are in place at Oakwell on matchdays for the safety of everyone within the stadium – including the players and officials on the pitch. "Encroachment onto the field of play is a criminal offence and those found guilty of such an offence will be punished accordingly.

"In the case of a minor encroaching onto the field of play, in such a case, the parents or guardians of the child in question will also face a ban from matches at Oakwell."

It added: "The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of foul or abusive behaviou. "We are in dialogue with all relevant authorities, and whilst currently subject to an ongoing FA Action Plan following previous incidents at Oakwell, the potential ramifications following such an incident have been well documented."

Marcus Rashford, one of the most in form players in the country, oversleeps and misses a team meeting. So Ten Hag drops him, because being late is not allowed under the workplace rules. Dropping your current best player is a big decision, but he figures the squad discipline overrides this. Rashford comes on from the bench and scores the winner. Post match he explains what has happened and why he didn’t start, accepting the decision completely. Ten Hag, who had not discussed the details with the media, says that Rashford ‘gave the right answer’. No further discussion needed.

I have a lot of respect for both men. Though I like it when Utd lose.

 

Certainly appears he knows how to handle egos...

 

Bad day if you are a Juventus fan;
