We've now got a variety of handball rules, which is madness. Is new handball rule spot-on or misguided?Moyes says there is a movement to change the handball rule and believes the International Football Association Board (IFAB) should be looking at the law. At the moment there is a big campaign to try and change this ruling," he said. You could say they are trying to change the offside rule as well.
Braga may not have the same lustre, but they quickly proved they can play as they sought to extending their unbeaten run in Europe to 14 matches. On a soggy, threadbare surface, Rangers were bogged down and played off the park for much of the first hour by the quick-passing visitors. Braga clearly hadn't come to sit back. Deploying a risky high defensive line, they attacked with incisive intent and when the opener arrived just 11 minutes in, it was already overdue.
What a block! Messi looked destined to net an equaliser for Barcelona after being set up by Alba, but Gabriel comes out of nowhere to make the sliding block and keep his team ahead! That was crucial! 77’ GOAL! Valencia 2-0 Barcelona: That could well be game over! Valencia have doubled their lead and Gomez has found the back of the net! This is his goal for sure! That was far too easy.
It seems to have been forgotten so quickly that not only is Lampard trying to learn on the job at one of the biggest clubs in the world, he’s doing so without one of the best players in Chelsea’s history. Over the past season or two so much of the good Chelsea did came through Eden Hazard and it cannot be overestimated how important he was to this team.
Given that this is a cup tie, anything could happen- but on paper, the visitors are the favourites to make it through to the next round. The hosts' long absence away from their stadium means that they could be more motivated and punch above their weight, especially as they've only lost 1 of their last 23 games at Prestonfield. However, Falkirk is a much bigger and better side that currently sits 4th in League One, and their recent managerial change could also fuel the players, who are out to impress. The Bairns have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 9 away games and have only failed to score once, scoring an average of a goal a game whilst also conceding just 0.75 goals. We're going to back the visitors to win to nil here and with a final score of 1-0.
Wolves 1994-95 & 2001-02In 1994, after a decade outside the top flight, Wolves spent big in their quest to go up and tasked former England manager Graham Taylor with achieving what he described as "the holy grail" of promotion from Division One. When you get a manager of his calibre saying things like that, you know they mean to do it," Wolves all-time leading scorer Steve Bull told BBC Sport. Graham was unbelievable.
The Venice Carnival has been called off, while the La Scala theatre has been shut down. The Milan stock exchange is falling. But this is having consequences for Italian football and sport in general. Coronavirus: What you need to know Last weekend, four Serie A games in Milan, Bergamo, Verona and Turin were suspended and on Saturday, Serie B side Cremonese drove 300 miles to Ascoli, only to be sent home upon arrival.
Leicester City boss Rodgers is winless in all 15 of his meetings with Chelsea as a manager (drawn eight, lost seven), the most times he has faced a single opponent without winning in his managerial career. This was the first time that Leicester had conceded a goal in this season's FA Cup, making them the last of the 123 sides to participate in the competition proper in 2019-20 to concede a goal. Chelsea have won five consecutive matches across all competitions, their best such winning run since they won seven in succession between September and October 2019.
Last season this fixture ended up with 4 goals being scored as the hosts won the game with 3-1 in the end and Arka is scoring on the road although mostly just one goal their defense is not that strong though and Jagiellonia does not mind to score more goals than needed to win a game they won 3-0 away at Arka in the start of this season also in the league and are well capable of scoring 3 goals here once more so I will not only back the over 2.5 goals bet but also the over 3.5 goals bet here.
I don't think there is any reason for him not to be in the right frame of mind," Mourinho told Sky Sports. He played two fantastic matches. He played in a back three against Wolves and a back four against Norwich. He showed me things I couldn't probably imagine if I had taken over in July. I know already what he can do in these positions, so this is crucial information for me.

Posted at 67' Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the way his side lost their Premier League game at Brighton is "unacceptable". The Gunners were the better side for much of the game but threw away a one-goal lead, given to them Nicolas Pepe with just over 20 minutes remaining.
When he came on again yesterday, there were people trying to provoke him and he just rolled on with it - he was brilliant," Gerrard said. Rangers' manager praised the Colombian's impact in the 1-0 win at Ibrox as the Glasgow side overcame a resolute Kilmarnock defence. I thought Alfredo's all-round performance was really good - he created a lot of the chances for himself out of nothing," Gerrard said.
Celtic took a significant step towards a ninth title in a row after thumping Hearts to move 10 points clear in the Scottish Premiership. Neil Lennon's side stretched their winning run since the winter break to eight - and 17 in 18 league games - while Rangers lost at Kilmarnock. Olivier Ntcham opened the scoring, and that lead was doubled seconds after the break by Christopher Jullien's header. Goals by Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie and Jozo Simunovic added further gloss.
The hosts went ahead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Frankfurt's Daichi Kamada scored twice after the break, to extend Arsenal's winless run in all competitions to seven games, for the first time since 1992. Fans at a half-empty Emirates Stadium made their displeasure known by booing the under-fire Emery and some held up cards calling for the Spaniard to be sacked.
Sangju x Gangwon, the host is stronger and will not lose this one, the draw is quite possible so a safe AH1 +0.5 is a safe value bet at 1,77, the price is well over the fair price, real price should be at 1,48.
We are confident that football can restart in the months to come – with conditions that will be dictated by public authorities - and believe that any decision of abandoning domestic competitions is, at this stage, premature and not justified. It appeared to suggest that, where competitions did not end on the field, the clubs involved might not qualify for European competition next season.
That's the scenario facing Tom Beadling, one of 17 players who will be released by second-tier Dunfermline Athletic at the end of May. Citing the "precarious situation" he now finds himself in, Beadling said: "There are bills that need to be paid and boys will be looking for jobs, and quickly. Some players, as well as PFA Scotland, have advocated extending the deals of those out of contract by taking advantage of the government furlough scheme.

You play a team sport because you enjoy being around other people, some at the club are people I consider friends for life, and when you're taken away from that environment, you're not a player anymore. You have to take a step away and detach yourself and that's difficult. Doing work on my own in the gym with my physio while my teammates were prepping for a gameday was very tough.

Gap between big and smallCatlin believes the debate in League One stems from the differences in size between clubs in the third tier. At one end, there are clubs like Sunderland and Portsmouth, who are former Premier League sides, while others such as Tranmere and AFC Wimbledon have played in non-league football in the past decade. I liken it to an elastic band, where the Championship is on one side and League Two's on the other," said Catlin.

Reading fought back from 2-0 down in 90 minutes - and then hauled themselves level again in extra time - to overcome Cardiff City on penalties in an exhausting FA Cup fourth-round replay. This was the teams' third meeting in 10 days - following 1-1 draws in the cup and Championship - and Josh Murphy put Cardiff in front with a fine low strike.

Brexit is not thought to have affected this year's transfer window - but it could change England's transfer system in the future. Sports lawyer Daniel Geey, author of 'Done Deal', told BBC Sport: "One of the most signification elements is about what the work permit restrictions are going to be. At present, this applies to non-European footballers coming into the UK and will presumably apply to non-UK workers after Brexit.

The attitude towards the club in the county council changed,” he said. Because we were successful they felt the club was in a position to stand on its own feet. But that wasn’t the case.

Newcastle showed a little more imagination after the interval but rarely looked like getting back into the game and it was an unhappy return to Villa Park for their coach Steve Bruce, who was sacked by the Birmingham side 13 months ago. The win snapped a three-game losing streak in the league for Villa and took them up two places to 15th on 14 points from 13 games, four clear of the relegation zone.
