I would still send the Stajcic reply to (FFA chairman) Chris Nikou and ask him to confirm his earlier advice not to interview him," Fairfax media quoted panelist Rod McGeoch as saying in the email. It is a powerful response and if leaked after our final report would make quite a story. Smith-Gander said in a statement on Friday that Nikou had not instructed the panel to exclude Stajcic and that the coach had requested conditions to participate that could not be accepted.

You can't always get on with everyone in your workplace. Admittedly, with many of us working from home at the moment, it is not really an issue - but generally speaking there is likely to be one or two people in the office that sometimes rub you up the wrong way. The same is true on the football pitch. Fifteen years ago to the day, football witnessed one of the most memorable on-pitch dust-ups when then Newcastle team-mates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer were sent off for fighting each other.
Kilmarnock stuck to the compact 4-4-2 that brought them so much success under Steve Clarke last term, and did well to frustrate Rangers, while increasingly growing into the game in the second half. Pre-match Kilmarnock boss Alex Dyer called for a "big night" from Brophy and his striker delivered in a typical display of relentless energy as he and his team-mates put in the type of performance that became routine against the Old Firm with Clarke in charge.
Vysshaya Liga. Team Isloch will play at home with team Vitebsk. Hosts did 3 wins in the last 4 home games. Their shape is not so bad. And they are strong at home stadium. Team Vitebsk are in the top part. They have 10 points. Their shape is not so bad. My bet is a draw in this game. Teams didn't play draw games in the last 6 h2h games .
Napoli face Liverpool in a key Champions League match on Wednesday amid reports that the players are to be fined between one quarter and one half of this month' wages by the club for refusing to stay in a training retreat earlier this month. Napoli, Serie A runners-up three times in the last four seasons, are also on a run of six matches without a win in all competitions and their challenge for the league title has petered out with barely one third of the season gone.
Manchester united humbled Watford 3-0 in the run up to this game while Club Brugge were 1-0 winners over Sporting Chaleroi in the Belgian league. The two sides drew 1-1 in the first meeting so this remains a very open encounter. Manchester United are undefeated in their last six matches, since their back to back defeats to Liverpool and Burnley.

I didn't know what to do, I got caught up in the hype. I didn't handle the situation properly, I let it get hold of me. The people around me at the time didn't know what to do either. Bad news travels fast. The media is there to do their job, they build you up and when you are ready to come back down, you will come back down like a roller coaster. I wasn't focusing on the media, I was more concerned on my career and what I was going through emotionally.
Roma, along with Inter's rivals AC Milan, announced later on Thursday they will not work with Corriere dello Sport until January. A joint statement released at the same time by Roma and AC Milan said: "We have decided to ban Corriere dello Sport from our training facilities for the rest of the year and our players will not carry out any media activities with the newspaper during this period. Both clubs are aware the actual newspaper article associated with the 'Black Friday' headline did portray an anti-racist message and for this reason we have only banned Corriere dello Sport until January.
We cannot make it subjective. With offside, the problem we have is that you are either offside or you are not. We need to remind people of principles. If the original decision cannot be overturned with 100 percent certainty – leave it as it is. The VAR screen displays an incorrect decision as Tottenham Hotspur's English midfielder Dele Alli scores his team's first goal during the English Premier League football match between Tottenham Hotspur and WatfordGetty Images He added that VAR officials were not supposed to spend a long time examining on-field decisions.
Whenever this pandemic is over it is important to remember clubs that stood with their communities, with the two Manchester clubs setting the example for the rest of the league to follow. Man Utd players to donate 30 per cent of wages to NHS Man City the first PL club to confirm they will not be furloughing any non-playing staff Clubs may see themselves as businesses but their lifeblood is their community and clubs who are furloughing staff when it is absolutely not necessary to do so need reminding of that.
Their journey to the quarter-finals was not a shared nationwide experience like the odyssey to the Euro 2016 semi-finals. From 1958, Wales' football story became one of anguish: Joe Jordan's handball in 1977, Paul Bodin's penalty miss in 1993 and the play-off loss to Russia 10 years later. History's pain bound a footballing nation together, fuel for hopes - however fanciful they may have seemed after losses to Georgia and Moldova - that they would one day emulate the class of 1958.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard: "It means a lot to me but it's about the club and the fans. The fans have come here after a number of losses and they have backed us. They know we are a young team and what we are trying to achieve. My players showed they could fight and play against a top team, because Tottenham are a good team. Today we were everything and that's why we should be celebrating. We are not over-excited, but we are pleased with the performance.
Odds are excellent for the over 2.5 goals as I mean even in the first part of the season when bottom of the league Voluntari came and played at Dinamo they really caused a lot of problems to their opponents despite losing the game with 2-1 in the end they scored once and could have scored even more as the defense of Dynamo is really not that hard to breach through. I mean Dinamo on the road against teams from the lower part of the table lost 4-2 at Hermannstadt, lost 3-2 at Chindia only drew 2-2 at Clinceni so being attacking minded by Dinamo on the road like they are expected to be here often makes them concede goals with ease.
I trust the hosts more in this encounter as I would like to point out that they have no less than 6 wins in a row at home at this moment scoring 4 goals in 3 of those wins, winning 5 of those 6 home games by even 2 goals or more for example even a 6-1 win at home with Venlo and as an example AZ which is 2nd placed struggled for a 1-0 win with same Venlo not so long ago, so they are really great at scoring goals at home at this moment.
Paper Round's view: It's been mooted for a while that Cavani would be moving to Atletico Madrid once his contract was up in the French capital. Chelsea and Manchester United became desperate to add a new striker to their ranks in January, which was reflected in the latter's strange loan deal with ex-Watford striker Odion Ighalo.
The French side have certainly had chances, averaging 4.5 shots on target per match but they've only scored three and have, defensively, been awful with 10 goals conceded in four matches. There isn't much confidence within the side and without much to play for it's hard to see how Lille can come out of the game with a positive result.
After 30 years of near misses, some dark days and even mid-table finishes, Liverpool finally ended the club's long wait to be champions of England again. Jurgen Klopp's side blew the rest away to win this season's title with seven matches remaining. Legends were born and new names added to Anfield folklore.

So what next for West Ham and Moyes?How faith in Pellegrini dwindledMoyes must win over doubtersThe reaction from West Ham's supporters to the news of Moyes' appointment was - to put it mildly - lukewarm, and hints at how he must fight to rebuild his credibility. When Moyes was heavily linked with a possible return to Everton as successor to Marco Silva - a job he came very close to getting until Carlo Ancelotti was sacked by Napoli - the reaction among supporters was toxic, causing pause for thought in the Goodison Park boardroom.
Today, in the Primera Liga will be played the match Celta de Vigo vs Villarreal. Now, in the Primera Liga ranking, Celta de Vigo is number 17 with 26 points, and Villarreal is number 9 with 38 points. In this match I do not see one favorite team, and I bet here on the more goals. In the last 5 meetings, Celta de Vigo and Villarreal has scored in the 5 games over 2, 5 goals, so here I bet on ,, over 2, 5 goals ''. It' s a good bet with a good odd for this match. Good day
La Coruna has 23 points in this first part of the season and despite being a newly promoted club they only suffered big defeats this season from the top two clubs Barcelona W and Atl. Madrid W while managing really well against most of the clubs they played against gathering a lot of points and scoring goals even in away games having an attacking style of play which made them concede plenty of goals against the top two teams, but they usually score against the others.
Tranmere fc is running a bad form this season as they have six consecutive losses so far, they have lost their last home game against Portsmouth where they scored nothing and conceded two goals, so here they are going to host Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night.

Burnley: Pope 7, Lowton 5, Tarkowski 6, Mee 5, Taylor 4, Hendrick 5, Westwood 5, Cork 5, McNeil 6, Lennon 5, Wood 5. Subs: Vydra 5. KEY MOMENTS 19' - GOAL RULED OUT! Burnley think they have the opener, as Hendrick heads home from a Burnley free-kick. The linesman quickly has his flag up for offside. It's a tight call and after a VAR check, the goal is ruled out.
They have not conceded more than a goal in a game in their last 11 away matches, keeping six clean sheets in the process. Real Madrid have three straight wins in Super Cup matches and have lost just one in the last six. They have scored two or more goals in 10 of 13 Super Cup matches. They lost to Atletico in the Super Cup in 2014’ their 1-0 fall then, was only the second time they have failed to score in the competition.
Their next opponents Levante are 13th in the table but have an impressive record at their stadium, where they beat Barcelona 3-1 earlier this season, and Zidane is expecting a difficult match. They have earned 20 points out of the 29 they have this season at home and that tells you the type of game we're going to have: it will be demanding and difficult and we will have to be well prepared if we want to put in a good performance," he said.

That it's a Barca lad who's the youngest ever scorer in this competition delights us. The Italians started the day second in Group F and needed to match Borussia Dortmund's result to advance to the knockout phase of the Champions League for the first time since 2011-12. However, Dortmund won 2-1 at home against Slavia Prague to finish second, with Inter coming third. Ansu Fati has made 12 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona, including four starts'It should've ended differently'"Watching that Ansu Fati goal is painful, as it killed us in every way," said Inter boss Antonio Conte.
It was Schmeichel's interventions that not only kept Leicester in the game but earned them the point. The Denmark international has proven himself to be a top-class keeper over the years, but if I was pushed on my all-time Danish XI his father Peter would get the nod. Now he was world class. Did you know? Schmeichel made six saves against Arsenal. In only two Premier League matches has he made more this season (nine v Manchester City in December, seven v Southampton in January).
In January, he can leave on a free. In this moment, he needs to choose which road is best for him. Jose: I'm not a villain Jose Mourinho has said he is not playing the role of “villain or enemy” when he returns to Manchester United as Tottenham head coach on Wednesday. Spurs travel to Old Trafford for a midweek Premier League clash that falls 12 months after United sacked Mourinho.
