Make no mistake, the sports minister Tracey Crouch’s decision to review the ban on standing at football matches signals a major shift from a policy which governments have maintained uncompromisingly in the top two divisions for 24 years. It is also clear that the “direction of travel”, as people have a habit of saying in government policy circles, is towards relaxing that ban and beginning to allow standing again. It is difficult to believe Crouch is preparing to open up such a sensitive and emotive process, which will involve the clubs, leagues, safety authorities, bereaved Hillsborough families and supporters’ groups, only to reaffirm the ban absolutely. 
The emotional freight of the current law, and the central Forrest Lamp">http://www.officialchargerslockerroom.com/elite-forrest-lamp-jersey">Forrest Lamp Jersey reason for governments refusing to consider reversing it, is of course terribly clear. Lord Justice Taylor recommended a ban on standing in all four divisions by 1994 – amended in 1992 to apply to only the http://www.49ersofficialauthenticonline.com/91-arik-armstead-super-bowl-jersey.html top two – in his second and final report in January 1990, after 95 people were killed in the horrific crush on the Leppings Lane standing terrace at Hillsborough the previous April. Tony Bland, 18 when he went to support Liverpool at that FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, became the 96th person to die when his life support machine was Dee Gordon Jersey switched off in 1993, after four agonising years for his devoted parents and sister. 
Taylor, contemplating the state of the Leppings Lane end and conditions at grounds elsewhere, decided that for reasons of safety and crowd control, seating should be compulsory, along with a complete regulatory overhaul of stadium standards. While pressure has steadily increased from supporters and some clubs for standing to be permitted again, the Hillsborough Family Support Group has held a recent vote on the issue, finding an overwhelming majority of families voted for the ban to stay. They believe the all-seat stadiums have contributed to a level of safety which has been one positive legacy from their catastrophic ordeal. Throughout the dreadful years in which they campaigned against the miscarriage of justice in the legal proceedings following the disaster, at least they knew that football stadium safety had been greatly http://www.officialauthenticstexans.com/YOUTH+CHRISTIAN+COVINGTON+JERSEYimproved. For years governments would not consider reviewing the ban because they http://www.officialmlbstoreco.com/MLB_JERSEYS_KANSAS_CITY_ROYALS-c-1_153.html could not contemplate disagreeing with the bereaved families on the issue – Willie Stargell Jersey even while successive ministers were refusing to review the 1991 inquest which took 21 years for the families finally to overturn. Governments also believed there was “nothing in it” for them, that allowing standing would be seen as taking top-flight English football back to the bad old image of 1980s disasters and hooliganism, from its current platform as a cleaned-up success story and valued British export. Yet fans’ groups led by the Football Supporters’ Federation have campaigned for years for the ban to be revisited, arguing that standing itself was not a cause of the disaster but the particular conditions at Hillsborough. The modern preferred mode of standing accommodation is now “rail seating”, which has rows of rails with flip-down seats closely spaced to guard against overcrowding and crushing. The campaign Michael Wacha Jersey has grown in strength particularly since Celtic successfully installed rail seating into an area of Parkhead in 2016. The central underlying reason why this campaign has gathered support and credibility is quite simple: supporters have never accustomed themselves to Taylor’s recommendation. They have continued to stand, at just about every top-flight match, during all the years since he reported. Yet it is only two months since Crouch rejected that case quite dismissively, characterising standing’s advocates as just a “vocal minority” and saying “the clubs aren’t convinced either”. The minister called then for tougher enforcement of “regulations to deal with persistent standing”, which was difficult to picture, given the thousands of people standing in seating areas at Premier League games. Now, though, she is to conduct a review. The immediate prompt is that Crouch must state her view in a parliamentary debate on 25 June, forced by a petition begun after her April remarks, which asks the government to: “Allow Premier League and Championship football clubs to introduce safe standing.” At the time of writing 120,000 people have signed the petition. wholesale jerseys from china cheap nfl jerseys cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys from china wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys china

Napoleon met disaster in Russia after sending almost half a million soldiers on an invasion that began in the summer of 1812 and ended in humiliation. Didier Deschamps, with only 23 men in his Grande Armée, will be hoping for a better outcome in the coming weeks. For a start the inhabitants of Moscow are unlikely to have burnt the place to the ground by the time his squad pitch camp next week in a Hilton hotel 50km west of the city walls. 
France are ranked fourth in the World Cup betting behind Brazil, Germany and Spain. Twenty years after their only success in the competition they may even be justified in examining their impressive resources and believing that the time for a repeat has finally come. Last week L’Équipe reprinted the edition published on Monday, 13 July, 1998, the morning after France discovered that it was, after all, a football nation. “Pour l’éternité” rang the sonorous headline, and the team who beat Brazil by three unanswered goals in Saint-Denis did indeed join the immortals – even Stéphane Guivarc’h, the centre-forward whose selection for the final provided a definition of the phrase faute de mieux”, meaning “for the lack of anything better”. In effect France won the tournament without a functioning forward line. Their three goals in the final were scored by two midfielders, Zinedine Zidane and Emmanuel Petit. Earlier their continued presence had been secured only by http://www.cowboysfootballofficialprostore.com/YOUTH+MALIEK+COLLINS+JERSEYa central defender, Laurent Blanc, scoring the only goal in an excruciating performance against Paraguay in the round of 16, and a full-back, Lilian Thuram, whose double defeated Croatia in the semi-final. Four years later in South Korea their main forwards, Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet and Djibril Cissé, could manage not a single goal between them, despite being the leading scorers in England, Italy and France respectively. It had not always been so. Picking his all-time greatest France XI on Erik Johnson Youth jersey this website at the weekend Marcel Desailly felt able to omit both Just Fontaine, still the top scorer for a single competition with 13 goals in six matches during the 1958 World Cup finals, and his great partner Raymond Kopa, the winner of the Ballon d’Or that same year. And how different, too, things look today, even in a side which Christophe Dugarry, a veteran of 1998 turned radio pundit, claims to be lacking in “character, mental strength and determination”. In their last 13 matches Deschamps’ men have scored 30 goals, displaying an attacking potency at least equal to that of any other Russia-bound nation. A possible front trio of PSG’s Kylian Mbappé, Atlético Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann and Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembélé offers speed of thought and foot, with a 19-year-old and a 21-year-old flanking a man who, at 27, has the experience of 53 caps and three successful seasons satisfying Diego Simeone’s demands. And Olivier Giroud, if he does not start, can leave the bench to add physical presence. In midfield http://www.officialbullsonlinestore.com/Authentic-Dennis-Rodman-Jersey they look equally well equipped with Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi in front of N’Golo Kanté. The young Corentin Tolisso of Bayern Munich is ready to play a part should Pogba, for example, disappoint, although Deschamps described the Manchester United player as “indispensable” following a mediocre performance in the 3-1 win over Italy in Nice on Friday night. In an official pre-tournament photograph of the squad posing informally in their stylish navy blue suits, Kanté is invisible, hidden behind the prominent figure of Pogba. That is Authentic Janne Kuokkanen Jersey how he likes it, but his presence gives the team a player who not only snuffs out imminent danger with the minimum of drama but launches instant counterattacks with crisp passes of perfect weight and angle. Kanté will be the dynamic soul of Deschamps’ France, his alertness and mobility vital factors in compensating for any flaws Authentic Paul Martin Jersey in defence. Against Italy the head coach deployed two fast and attack-minded 22-year-old full-backs, Benjamin Pavard of Stuttgart and Lucas Hernández of Atlético, to promising effect. But Samuel Umtiti had an unhappy night against the resurgent Mario Balotelli and Raphaël Varane is likely to return alongside Adil Rami in central defence in front of the captain, Hugo Lloris, who is on schedule to win his 100th cap in the group stage. wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys from china cheap nfl jerseys

Nobody can say for sure how England will perform at the World Cup but two weeks before it all gets going against Tunisia in http://www.authenticnikeseahawkshop.com/tre-madden-jersey-for-sale-c-68.html Volgograd there is a growing sense that this will, at the very least, be one of the most clear-minded parties the country has sent to a major tournament. The squad has been picked, the captain named, a system settled on and even the fuss around a player’s tattoo and tardiness managed with minimum fuss. 
There is, though, one element of England’s preparations for Russia that remains uncertain: who will be the team’s principal goalkeeper? Gareth Southgate has yet to confirm his choice and has not said whether or not he will do so before the squad departs for the England base in Repino a week on Tuesday. Jordan Pickford is expected to get the nod having played the entirety of the 2-1 victory over Nigeria on Saturday and with Southgate having afterwards described the selection as “a bit of a statement”. Pickford certainly did his chances no harm with a decent display at Wembley and, based on past experience, the 24-year-old feels relatively sure he will be told sooner rather than later if he is to become England’s youngest tournament goalkeeper. “I’ve worked with the manager before at under-21 level, so maybe he will http://www.officialsaintsfootballshop.com/YOUTH+ALEX+ANZALONE+JERSEYtell us in advance, but when that will be I don’t know,” he said. “Nothing’s been confirmed. I’ve just got to keep putting in performances and keep working hard in training. Getting the nod [against Nigeria] was brilliant – there’s another cap ticked off and another solid performance.” Pickford has made three appearances for England and, as he said himself, performed well each time. He was outstanding in the goalless draw with Germany last November while, a few shaky moments aside, also impressed Authentic Chris Godwin Jersey in the 1-0 win in the Netherlands in March. At the weekend, meanwhile, he was relatively untested but dealt with what Nigeria threw at him – in the second half especially – encouragingly enough and was blameless for the goal Alex Iwobi secured for the visitors on 48 minutes. All in all Pickford looks like the man Southgate will, and should, select against Tunisia on 18 June – especially given the manager’s other choices are Jack Butland and Nick Pope, two fine goalkeepers but neither a major challenge to the man from Everton in regard to talent. What also makes Pickford the standout choice is the confidence he has Authentic Nick Holden Jerseyin his own capabilities. It borders on arrogance – a trait which all great keepers possess to varying degrees. “In football you get only one shot and I’ve always taken it,” Pickford said. “I don’t Authentic Cam Robinson Jersey show any pressure on the pitch, I show I can play out from the back and I don’t feel nervous. “There’s so many good goalkeepers in England and you’ve got to be at your very best [to be selected]. “We’ve got likes of Popey, me, Butland, [Ben] Foster and [Alex] McCarthy, so there’s a lot of competition. But I can only focus on myself and as a goalkeeper you’ve got to have mental toughness – that’s something I’m good at.” Pickford certainly displayed that during what proved to be a tumultuous debut season at Everton. Amid the managerial upheaval and poor results, the boy from Washington, Tyne and Wear, kept his head and, in the process, 10 clean sheets. He was rightly named Everton’s player of the season and is now looking forward to making his name on the biggest stage possible. It certainly helps Pickford’s cause that Everton’s goalkeeping coach last season, Martyn Margetson, fulfils the same role with England. The player is quick to point out, however, that the relationship is not only beneficial to his chances but also to his development, which must be a positive for the national team as a whole. http://biciklo.me/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=59873

During Brendan Rodgers’ final, full season in charge of Liverpool, a rumour did the rounds suggesting he had started listening to podcasts made by the club’s supporters. Results were going badly and as criticism http://www.officialwarriorsteamshop.com/Authentic-Damian-Jones-Jersey of the manager and his players rose, Rodgers, it was said, became increasingly keen to know what those who watched the team week in, week out were thinking and so turned to the likes of Anfield Index and The Anfield Wrap to find out. 
The rumour was never confirmed or denied but it is telling that it could Malik Jackson Youth jersey be true – partly because Rodgers comes across as the type of man who would want to know what others think about him and partly because it reflects the growing strength and influence of football podcasts. 
Once the domain of a small number of amateur broadcasters, podcasts are now, to borrow Chorley FM’s catchphrase, “coming Chris Jones Jersey in your ears” from a range of sources. Fans, former players, journalists and pundits are all getting in on the act and for an increasing number of people, ‘pods’ have become the destination for football discourse, which in turn has allowed some of those involved to turn what started out as a hobby into a full-time profession. In part this reflects the boom of podcasts in general, fuelled by an improvement in the quality of available recording equipment as well as the ease with which people can, for free, download and listen to shows ranging from true-crime stories (Casefile) to the diary entry of a teenage girl growing up in a historic market town (Berkhamsted Revisited). “The majority of our listeners come through iTunes and our listening figures continue to grow year on year,” says Jon Teague, executive producer of The Football Ramble, which started in 2007 and has gone on to Brandon Tanev Jersey become a well-established, twice-weekly show. “That growth is encouraging as the market is now incredibly saturated.” “There wasn’t a scene to speak of in 2007; most people didn’t even know what a podcast was back then. And we had no specific purpose for starting the Ramble – we liked talking about football and having a laugh and thought it would be fun to combine the two.” It is that sense of fun, emanating from the Ramble’s http://www.officialcelticsproshop.com/Gordon_Hayward_Jerseyon-air team of Marcus Speller, Luke Moore, Jim Campbell and Pete Donaldson, which explains why it has thrived having been part of the initial wave of football podcasts that included the Guardian’s award-winning Football Weekly. Both proved football fans like listening to other football fans talk about football and thus inspired the creation of similar shows. http://www.authentichurricanestore.com/-29-bryan-bickell-jersey_c-454.html Yet, as Teague has observed, there have been as many failures as successes. “While the barriers to recording and releasing a podcast are pretty much non-existent, the barriers to producing listenable content and getting it discovered by an audience are significant,” he says. “If you’re looking to compete in a crowded marketplace, you need to make sure your offering is a compelling enough pitch. It’s not enough these days to sit a few heads in a room and have them talk football.” The broad-ranging, talking-heads format remains popular, as seen by the popularity of podcasts such as Second Captains, but Teague is right in suggesting that with increased competition comes Authentic Michael Schofield Jersey a greater need for ‘podders’ to nail down a niche. Hence the success of club-specific pods, such as AI and TAW, as well as those that tackle specific subjects, such as The No 1 Podcast, which focuses exclusively on goalkeeping.

The main event will kick off in a couple of weeks but for Nigeria Saturday’s meeting with England is more than a warm-up. For some Super Eagles, at least, the heat is really on. Unlike Gareth Southgate, Nigeria’s manager, Gernot Rohr, Tyson Ross Jersey has not settled on the squad that he will take to the World Cup, preferring initially to name a 30-man panel before ditching surplus players in instalments as if trying to lend his selection process some of the suspense and agony of a reality TV show. 
Four players were evicted after Monday’s 1-1 draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo, while a fifth, the Gent winger Moses Simon, was ruled out by a hip injury, although Rohr is giving him as much time as possible to recover. The manager will announce the last cuts to his squad after the England match. There could hardly be a bigger incentive to perform well at Wembley. Rohr is probably not doing this for dramatic effect. Rather his hesitation reflects uncertainty over a couple of roles, particularly at full-back, where the manager has admitted doubts linger. Ola Aina, the 21-year-old Chelsea player who spent last season on loan at Hull, may have marked his own card by making the clumsy tackle that enabled Congo to equalise from a penalty but, on the other hand, his ability to play on either flank may earn him inclusion ahead of either Elderson Echiejile or Brian Idowu, who can function only on the left. Aside from places on the plane, there may still be spots up for grabs in the http://www.titansauthenticofficialstore.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_WESLEY_WOODYARD_JERSEY.htmlstarting lineup for Nigeria’s first World Cup match, against Croatia on 16 June. Most obviously, and like England, the goalkeeping question seems unresolved. Rohr’s options following Carl Ikeme’s leukaemia diagnosis and the retirement of Vincent Enyeama are not especially compelling. It will http://www.redskinsfootballproshoponline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_EARNEST_BYNER_JERSEY.htmlbe fascinating to see who starts in goal at Wembley. For recent friendlies the manager has put his trust in Francis Uzoho, who is undoubtedly talented but still raw, as should be expected from a 19-year-old whose main club action has been with Deportivo La Coruña’s second team. The other options – Enyimba’s Ikechukwu and Daniel Akpeyi of Chippa United – are more experienced but have previously shown they are not above rashness. Those Brooks Orpik Jerseyworries aside, Rohr knows most of the side he will count on in Russia and has good cause to be confident of progressing out of a formidable group that also features Argentina and Iceland, thereby fulfilling the ambition he expressed at his first press conference after being appointment Nigeria manager in August 2016. Nigeria made light work of a tough qualifying group, sweeping above Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia with a style that suddenly had Rohr feeling the need to dampen expectations. “Unfortunately, ambitions are a little excessive here, as Nigeria must reach the semi-finals, at least,” he said shortly after securing qualification. Nigeria swelled expectations further by beating Argentina 4-2 in a friendly in November, although a recent defeat by Serbia offset that a tad. Nonetheless, the victory over Argentina, whom Nigeria will face in their last group game, was an encouraging demonstration of the qualities displayed during qualification. This is a strong, dynamic, united and skilful side featuring a potent mix of youth and experience. The Super Eagles will test England. Premier League fans who do not keep tabs on Nigeria will find them intriguing visitors. Not only will this be a chance to Nolan Arenado Authentic Jerseycheck out Leon Balogun, the centre-back who will play for Brighton next season after signing in May from Mainz and who, under Rohr, has developed such a strong central defensive partnership with William Troost-Ekong that Nigeria fans refer to the pair as the Oyinbo Wall.

Four players were evicted after Monday’s 1-1 draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo, while a fifth, the Gent winger Moses Simon, was ruled out by a hip injury, although Rohr is giving him as much time as possible to recover. The manager will announce the last cuts to his squad after the England match. There could hardly be a bigger incentive to perform well at Wembley. Rohr is probably not doing this for dramatic effect. Rather his hesitation reflects uncertainty over a couple of roles, particularly at full-back, where the manager has admitted doubts linger.

Roman Abramovich has put a £1bn scheme to redevelop Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium on hold in response to suffering delays in the renewal of his visa to enter the United Kingdom. 
The club confirmed that Edrice Adebayo Womens Jerseyplans to transform their home of 113 years into a 60,000-seat arena had been mothballed. A 49-word statement published on their website on Thursday pointed to the “current unfavourable investment climate” as a key factor in their reasoning, yet the Home Office’s delay in renewing Abramovich’s visa, which had expired, is understood to have prompted the owner’s decision to shelve the scheme. Abramovich is apparently reluctant to invest heavily in a major project in the capital of a country where he has been denied a visa. The oligarch, who has been a regular visitor to Britain since buying Chelsea in 2003 but does not hold an employment position at the club, was unable to attend his team’s victory in the FA Cup final at Wembley this month with the process unresolved, and has since secured Israeli citizenship. An Israeli government spokesperson confirmed this week that the 51-year-old was to move to Tel Aviv. Although he would be able to http://www.patriotsfootballofficialonline.com/Julian-Edelman-Jersey visit the UK visa-free for up to six months at a time on his Israeli passport, Downing Street has confirmed he would not be permitted to work in this country. The Jerusalem Post reported on Thursday that the billionaire had withdrawn his request for a British investor visa, quoting a source close to Abramovich as saying: “He understands and respects that the UK are reviewing their processes and has therefore chosen to withdraw until a new process is in place.” Once a new policy was in place, the source added, Abramovich would “want to clarify any misunderstanding and speculations. He has spent many years in the UK and is a legitimate businessman, nothing has changed.” The issue has flared at a time of heightened tensions between Britain and Russia since the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury in March. Britain has blamed that act on Russia, though the Kremlin denies involvement. Abramovich’s previous tier one visa, which allows anyone who invests more than £2m in the British economy to stay for 40 months, had been granted before tighter regulations were introduced in April 2015. The government has since launched a further crackdown on wealthy investors coming to the UK and, it is believed, would have required some financial disclosures if Abramovich’s UK visa were to be renewed. Chelsea, who finished Gabriel Carlsson Womens Jersey outside the lucrative Champions League qualification places last season, insist Abramovich remains as committed to the club as ever, and will continue to invest funds for transfers. However, the desire to redevelop Stamford Bridge had been motivated primarily by the prospect of increased match-day revenues, which would allow the Premier League side to be more competitive in the transfer market while complying with Uefa’s Financial Fair Play regulations. The ground’s 41,631 capacity leaves them in http://www.bearsofficialnflproshop.com/Authentic-John-Timu-Jersey the smallest stadium of the current top six given Tottenham Hotspur will return to a redeveloped White Hart Lane next season. In that regard, the decision to put plans on hold would appear to damage the club’s long-term ability to compete financially with the Premier League’s elite. Chelsea had previously explored purchasing the Battersea Power station site and land around Earl’s Court, before opting to transform Stamford Bridge into what the architects, Herzog and de Meuron, described as a “cathedral of football”. Planning approval was received from Hammersmith and Fulham council last year, with the mayor of London Sadiq Khan also giving the green light, and Chelsea had hoped to move to Wembley for up to four years while work was carried out. Costs for the ambitious scheme had Devin Hester Womens Jersey escalated wildly, doubling to around £1bn largely because of the time allocated to the build and its complexity. Chelsea had started the process of sounding out banks and blue-chip companies over commercial deals and to seek a potential naming-rights partner, though they would have leant heavily upon Abramovich to the project. wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseyswholesale jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys

Everton have appointed Marco Silva as their manager with the 40-year-old’s commitment to “attractive, attacking football” convincing the club he is the right man to replace Sam Allardyce. 
Silva signed a three-year contract with the Goodison Park club on Thursday having been the first choice of Farhad Moshiri, Everton’s major shareholder, to succeed Allardyce since his sacking just over a fortnight ago. Moshiri had wanted the Portuguese to succeed Ronald Koeman in October but Watford rejected Everton’s advances and potential compensation of more than £10m. Watford then sacked Silva in January, blaming an “unwarranted approach” from Lou Brock Jersey another club for a loss of focus and Juan Samuel Jersey downturn in results. The former Estoril, Sporting Lisbon, Olympiakos, Hull and Watford manager is Moshiri’s third permanent appointment in just over two years. He has spent around £30m in payoffs to managers and compensation to clubs during that period. Silva is joined at Everton by the assistant manager João Pedro, the goalkeeping coach Hugo Olivera, the technical scout Antonis Lemonakis and the fitness coach Pedro Conceição. Duncan Ferguson will remain part of the coaching team. “Everton is a really ambitious club and that is what I want,” Silva said. “What we are seeing now are good changes at the club. The club is changing its approach. But one thing we cannot change John Jaso Jersey and nobody wants to change is the huge history and ambition of the club. “Everybody knows Everton’s history. When you are a club like Everton, you only have one Earl Thomas">http://www.officialseahawkslockerroom.com/elite-earl-thomas-jersey">Earl Thomas solution - to aim to win. In football it http://www.seahawksfootballauthentic.com/RASHAAD-PENNY-JERSEY-CHEAP.html is http://www.officialauthenticslions.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_ERIC_EBRON_JERSEY.htmlimpossible to win every match but we must do everything to show in every game that we have ambition. That is what I want and I’m sure we will show that every single week.” Forty-year-old Silva, who has won 13 Premier League matches during brief spells with Watford and Hull, will work closely with Everton’s new director of football, Marcel Brands, who met the new manager before his appointment being finalised. Brands, marking a departure with the Allardyce era, said Silva’s style of play fitted in with Everton’s long-term footballing plans. “Marco is a young coach but also an experienced coach and he’s worked already at the top, while also gaining experience of the Premier League which is also an important factor,” he said. “One of the most important things is that he’s a guy who wants to play attractive, attacking football and also wants to work in the structure we have at Everton. He’s a guy who has proved already he wants to work with young players, make them better and he has performed very well with the teams he’s worked with. He will be a very good manager for Everton. “His vision in football, the way he is thinking about football is what we want. He wants to structure a team and he has proved that already with a few clubs with good results, so I believe strongly in him. He is an open guy who wants to work together with good staff and in an environment at Finch Farm which is conducive to building something strong.” Everton were among the biggest spending clubs in Europe last year but the return on their investment was abysmal with Koeman, the caretaker manager David Unsworth and finally Allardyce all struggling with a squad in need of further surgery. Silva added: “We have a lot of work to do in this next month and it is important to prepare everything in the right way. But there will be even more important work to do from the start of pre-season into the first Premier League match of next season. http://100trucspour.forumcrea.com/viewtopic.php?pid=29899#p29899

Ken Bates, the Chelsea chairman when a number of youth-team footballers claim they were racially abused by their own coaches, has been accused of making “truly shameful” comments after criticising the alleged victims for wanting to keep their identities secret and questioning why they did not report it when they were children. 
Bates suggested the reason for “all these ancient coming-outs so many years later” was because “the sniff of money is in the air” and said those in question should have found other clubs if the racism they allegedly encountered at Stamford Bridge, from the age of 11 onwards, was so upsetting. 
Speaking publicly for the first time about the escalating scandal at his former club, Bates said Chelsea used to have some of the more racist fans in England, with the National Front using Stamford Bridge as their “unofficial headquarters”, and said he had taken the first measures to change the culture on the terraces. He did not offer any indication as to whether he believed the allegations surrounding Gwyn Williams and Graham Rix, two of his former employees. “Obviously I’m keeping an open mind about it,” he said. Instead, Bates directed his criticisms towards the players with “their faces shielded, sitting with their backs to the camera”, and said that “what bothers me a bit” was the people in question choosing to remain anonymous. “I thought: ‘How are we going to make any progress? These people have to reveal their identities … and, without being unkind, what did they do about it at the time? If I’d been racially abused I would have told my dad and expected him to support me. Or I could have left the club and joined another one. It’s all very well to say, ‘Oh well, I didn’t want to say anything or do anything because it might have harmed my career’, but if you’ve got the ability there were plenty of other clubs snapping up young black kids. “The sniff of money is in the air and I think in view of all the terrible miscarriages of justice over allegations of varied abuse – sexual, racial, etcetera – it’s time people should take a tough line. OK, name the people. Name the times. What was actually said? http://www.authentichurricanestore.com/eddie-lack-jersey_c-443.html What was your response? This is trial by smear and it’s not good enough. The Guardian revealed in January that three former youth-team footballers from the 1990s had launched legal claims against Chelsea after allegations of explicit racism by their coaches, including one instance when Rix was said to have thrown a cup of hot coffee in the face of a young Womens Mike Reilly Jersey black player. Rix, who is also accused of other physical attacks, denies all the allegations. One Authentic Alex Killorn Jerseyplayer’s evidence to the Football Association’s safeguarding department described it as a “feral environment” where black players in the youth team were treated “like a race of fucking dogs”. Explaining why he felt unable to report Williams at the http://www.officiallightningproshop.com/Erik_Condra_Jerseytime, he said: “I knew it was unacceptable but I was a minor.

That guy was the governor. No matter what role he had, that man had power.” Since then, a number of other complainants have begun their own legal actions about the culture of “continued racist bullying and abuse” that allegedly existed when Williams was involved with the youth team. Two white players, Grant Lunn and Gary Baker, from Chelsea’s youth set‑up in the early 1980s have come forward to back their former team-mates and the club have brought in Barnardo’s to oversee an independent inquiry. Williams and Rix, who share the same solicitor, released a statement in January to deny all the allegations. They have declined a number of requests to speak about the matter. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys china wholesale jerseyswholesale nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys

There might be quite a few people who are surprised to learn the identity of the player in Gareth Southgate’s squad who will be going to Russia for the World Cup as the leading scorer within the England setup. But here’s a clue: it is not Harry Kane. Or not yet, anyway. 
Perhaps this might also be an appropriate moment to point out that Danny Welbeck – one of the players who regularly seems to get the pitchfork treatment on social media – has managed more goals in England’s colours than Jamie Vardy, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford put together. Fifteen, in total, from 37 appearances, though on only 10 occasions has he has played the full 90 minutes. Kane is next in line, with 12 goals from 23 caps (13 full appearances). Nobody else is in double figures and it is worth bearing in mind that four different England managers – Southgate, Roy Hodgson, Fabio Capello and Stuart Pearce on caretaker duty – have selected Welbeck in his seven years as an international footballer. When he is fit, he tends to get the call. Unfortunately for Welbeck, that has not been as often as he would have liked since he signed for Arsenal from Manchester United in 2014. First it was the cartilage in his left knee that required major surgery. Then it was a similar problem in his right knee and another long, demoralising layoff. Welbeck missed Euro 2016 because of the second operation and it does not need long in his company to realise these have been the hardest times of his career. “It’s not been easy to deal with,” he says. “It’s difficult. It’s a lonely period. You are not out on the pitch helping your team-mates and doing what you love doing. I had so much time on my hands. Straight after surgery I couldn’t put any weight on my leg for two months. I went through a period of not even leaving my house. Then, after six weeks, when I went back to training, I was literally going just there and straight back home, reading books and stuff like that. But you can learn about yourself and improve mentally. I read more books than when I was in school. Sports mentality books and autobiographies.” Undisputed Truth, the autobiography of Mike Tyson, was a favourite – “He’s a fighter, he’s Johnny Bench Authentic Jersey a mad man … I’m not just a fighter, I like to give love as well.

Perhaps this might also be an appropriate moment to point out that Danny Welbeck – one of the players who regularly seems to get the pitchfork treatment on social media – has managed more goals in England’s colours than Jamie Vardy, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford put together. Fifteen, in total, from 37 appearances, though on only 10 occasions has he has played the full 90 minutes. Kane is next in line, with 12 goals from 23 caps (13 full appearances). Nobody else is in double figures and it is worth bearing in mind that four different England managers – Southgate, Roy Hodgson, Fabio Capello and Stuart Pearce on caretaker duty – have selected Welbeck in his seven years as an international footballer. When he is fit, he tends to get the call. Unfortunately for Welbeck, that has not been as often as he would have liked since he signed for Arsenal from Manchester United in 2014. First it was the cartilage in his left knee that required major surgery. Then it was a similar problem in his right knee and another long, demoralising layoff. Welbeck missed Euro 2016 because of the second operation and it does not need long in his company to realise these have been the hardest times of his career. “It’s not been easy to deal with,” he says. “It’s difficult. It’s a lonely period. You are not out on the pitch helping your team-mates and doing what you love doing. I had so much time on my hands. Straight after surgery I couldn’t put any weight on my leg for two months. I went through a period of not even leaving my house. Then, after six weeks, when I went back to training, I was literally going just there and straight back home, reading books and stuff like that. But you can learn about yourself and improve mentally. I read more books than when I was in school. Sports mentality books and autobiographies.” Undisputed Truth, the autobiography of Mike Tyson, was a favourite – “He’s a fighter, he’s Johnny Bench Authentic Jersey a mad man … I’m not just a fighter, I like to give love as well. I’m a lover too. But I liked that one.” The book he really benefited from, however, was Relentless – From Good to Great to Unstoppable, detailing Tim Grover’s work with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and some of basketball’s other stars. “I really enjoyed that one.

This article is part of the Pierre Turgeon Authentic JerseyGuardian’s 2018 World Cup Experts’ Network, a cooperation between some of the best media organisations from the 32 countries who have qualified for Russia. theguardian.com is running previews from two countries each day in the run-up to the tournament kicking off on 14 June. 
Anyone who has been watching Uruguay over the past 10 years is familiar with Óscar Tabárez’s style: his teams are built from the back to make it as difficult as possible for opponents to http://www.chicagobears.us.com/WOMENS-CODY-WHITEHAIR-JERSEY.html score. Then it is all about giving the ball to the team’s world-class forwards, Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani. His Uruguay sides have always been strong in central defence, with Brent Urban Jersey full-backs who attack only when absolutely necessary. Then there is a midfield that traditionally has been much more combative than creative, with an emphasis on moving the ball forward as quickly as possible. It has been vertical football with one aim – to hit opponents on the break. Until now Uruguay have not needed to be much more than firm in defence and dangerous in attack – but then something happened. The team, together for so long, needed renewing, especially in midfield. And this changing of the guard has happened much more quickly than anyone thought possible. With the new players, a new style arrived. The emergence of players such as Federico Valverde (Deportivo La Coruña on loan from Real Madrid), Rodrigo Bentancur (Juventus), Nahitan Nández (Boca Juniors) and Matías Vecino (Internazionale) forced Tabárez to change his approach. In the end, with these dynamic and talented players, the transformation of Uruguay’s gameplan was almost inevitable. For a long time Tabárez had said that Uruguay did not have the players to adopt a “European” style, ie physical as well as creative. Now he has them and, in the last World Cup qualifiers and subsequent friendlies, he has used a different approach. The defence remains the same, with Diego Godín and José María Giménez being that rare combination at a World Cup – a pair who play together week in, week out (for Atlético Madrid). To the left, the hope is that Martín Cáceres (Verona) will arrive in good shape after two injury-hit seasons, and on the right there will be a battle between the experienced Maximiliano Pereira (Porto) and the young Guillermo Varela (Peñarol) to be in the XI. It http://www.saintsofficialonlineshop.com/SUPER-BOWL-HAUOLI-KIKAHA-JERSEY is in midfield where the real change has happened: Vecino is a guaranteed starter after a superb season with Inter but then there is a question of whether Betancur or Valverde will accompany him – both prefer to go forward and create rather than carry out defensive duties but they have developed from playing in Italy and Spain respectively. To the right, Nández is expected to start while on the left Cristian Rodríguez is the preferred candidate, although he lacks the endurance of his earlier years. In Jihad Ward Authentic Jersey attack, well, there is not much to add to the names of Cavani and Suárez. Remember, though, that structural changes take time to become a habit. The basic concept of 4-4-2 with pressure all over the pitch has not altered but the central midfielders now treat the ball better and the service to Suárez and Cavani is much improved. We also know that the World Cup is not a place to experiment. It is possible that, in the event of a poor result in the opener against Egypt, Tabárez will return to his more defensive approach. It would not be the first time: in the first international tournament of his second spell as Uruguay coach (the 2007 Copa América in Peru) he suddenly abandoned his initial approach of using three forwards.http://brooklynne.net/profiles/blogs/another-on-the-jersey
