Unbelievable. We don’t blame the Accrington Stanley players for surrounding the referee one bit. The League Two club scored what looked to be a perfectly good goal against AFC Wimbledon yesterday, but if you listen closely you can hear the distinctive peep of the whistle just as the ball hits the back of the net.

“I don’t give a f***!” “I don’t give a f*** either!” If you needed any more idea as to the type of fight we’re going to get when Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz face off in the UFC 196 main event this Saturday, that exchange – and really all the foul-mouthed confrontations in this latest […]

Football’s biggest event could be about to get even bigger. Newly elected Fifa president Gianni Infantino’s promise of a 40-team World Cup presumably helped him across the line in last week’s election, but now he’s in power the Swiss seems determined to follow through on his pledge. The former Uefa general secretary has given an […]

Conor McGregor is the one who knocks. The Notorious is in Los Angeles preparing for his UFC 196 welterweight fight against Nate Diaz but despite a busy schedule when he drove past one particular apartment in the city he just had to make an extra stop. McGregor was driving when he spotted a balcony adorned with Irish […]

It’s no Kingsley, but the Los Angeles Clippers are the early front-runners for Worst Mascot of 2016. The Clips unveiled Chuck the Condor last night, and while it won’t strike fear right into your soul like Partick’s ‘thing’ or the Donnie Darko-esque offering from Super Rugby’s Sunwolves, there’s something rather odd about Chuck, based on […]

The AIBA is moving forward with the radical change. Despite widespread opposition to their plans, amateur boxing’s world governing body has confirmed that professional boxers will be able to compete at this summer’s Olympic Games. AIBA president Ching-Kuo Wu has said that last month’s decision by the organisation merely needs to ratified at an extraordinary congress […]

It was the standout moment from the UFC London main event. Referee Herb Dean has given his view on the controversial non-finish to Saturday night’s UFC London bout between Michael Bisping and Anderson Silva. Bisping was the winner of a unanimous decision but Silva thought he had won the fight after delivered a crushing knee […]

Marcus Rashford’s stunning rise couldn’t have come at a better time, both for him and Manchester United. The young striker is still on his first professional deal, earning £1,500 a week, but that deal runs out at the end of next season, so United were already eager to tie the 18-year-old to a long-term deal. […]

Frankie Edgar was in no condition to take a fight against Conor McGregor this weekend. The UFC featherweight contender had been canvassing loudly to challenge McGregor for the 145lb title after the Dubliner’s stunning win over Jose Aldo in December, but was left out of the picture by McGregor’s decision to move up to lightweight to […]

Turns out Eddie Jones had little reason to be worried about the proximity of Mike Brown’s boot to Conor Murray’s head. The England full-back’s hack at the ball in a ruck left the Munster man needing stitches but the TMO and referee did not see the need to discipline Brown and the citing commissioner has […]

It is alleged that the supplement could have exacerbated the kidney condition which killed the All Black hero. A former team-mate of New Zealand legend Jonah Lomu has claimed that use of the supplement creatine could be responsible for the medical problems which resulted in Lomu’s death and his own need for a kidney transplant. Joeli Vidiri, who […]

It’s getting tight at the top of the Pro12. Munster and Leinster both struck for crucial victories in Italy, but today’s action saw Ulster squander a winning position in Cardiff to put themselves right back in the play-off qualification melting pot. After Connacht’s brilliant bonus-point victory over the Ospreys last night saw them stretch their […]

A huge call from Jurgen Klopp. The German has opted to start with a central defensive pairing of Mamadou Sakho and Lucas for today’s Capital One Cup final against Manchester City, with Kolo Toure left on the bench. Otherwise pretty much as you would expect from Liverpool, with Klopp’s preferred front three of Roberto Firmino, Philippe […]

It’s the money fight all right. Be careful what you wish for, Nate Diaz. That’s the implication within the latest official UFC 196 trailer, the first to focus on Conor McGregor’s fight against replacement opponent Nate Diaz. Diaz had been demanding what he describes as the ‘money fight’ and now that he has it, we […]

Hit ’em with some good shit… Nate Diaz has proven a match so far for Conor McGregor’s prefight mind games, and the American is pretty well the equal of the Notorious when it comes to his work on the mic. Diaz is the lucky recipient of the late call-up to fight the featherweight champion in […]
