Lucas Paqueta: West Ham forward criticises FA after red card against Liverpool
just now (265+ words) Lucas Paqueta joined West Ham from Lyon in 2022 West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta says his "ridiculous behaviour" that resulted in a red card in the 2-0 defeat by Liverpool was a "reflection of everything I've had to endure." A near-two-year Football Association investigation into the Brazil midfielder ended in July when he was cleared of spot-fixing charges by an independent regulatory commission. On Sunday, Paqueta was shown two yellow cards in quick succession for dissent by referee Darren England for arguing over a decision to award a foul against his team with six minutes left to play. "Perhaps this ridiculous behavior is just a reflection of everything I've had to endure and, it seems, have to continue enduring! "I'm sorry if I'm not perfect." The FA had started its investigation in August 2023 and the 27-year-old was charged in May last year…...

Thousands march against Crowborough asylum seeker plan
just now (353+ words) About 4,000 people have taken part in a demonstration against government plans to house asylum seekers at a military site in East Sussex, organisers have said. The demonstrators oppose the Home Office's now delayed plan to temporarily house up to 540 male asylum seekers at an army training camp on the outskirts of Crowborough. Earlier, participants, including families with children, waved banners and chanted, walking from the former barracks in Crowborough to the town centre. The Home Office said it was postponing the arrival of the asylum seekers but would continue to "accelerate plans" to move people to the site when it was fully operational and safe. Similar protests have taken place in the town in recent weeks, with Sunday's march having the largest turn out to date, organisers said. They said Crowborough, which has a population of about 20,000, was too small…...

just now (602+ words) Bath playmakers Ben Spencer and Finn Russell. Following a 36-29 victory over Saracens in the Gallagher Prem at the StoneX Stadium on Sunday, here are the player ratings for Bath. 15 Tom de Glanville: Some excellent moments on the counter-attack while his boot was useful on occasion. Wasn't tested too much under the high ball with Saracens targeting Henry Arundell's wing. 7 14 Joe Cokanasiga: Wasn't given a huge amount of space in the opening 50 minutes but, when he did get the ball, Cokanasiga tended to make ground. However, was more of a factor later on and made some useful contributions. 7 13 Chris Harris: A very useful signing for Bath. Not quite the player which made him indispensable to Scotland a few years ago, but he remains a centre that does everything very efficiently. 5 12 Will Butt: Very much grew into the game after Saracens started…...

just now (601+ words) Israel's prime minister has expressed dismay as the six-year trial heads back to the courts.

1+ min ago (303+ words) Stepping in on bass was Kid Not (real name Richie Buxton), who is a songwriting partner and producer for one of the tour's opener Ecca Vandal, an Australian singer-songwriter and rapper. During the performance Limp paid tribute to Rivers with a video compilation of performance highlights of Rivers, watching the video along with the audience as it happened.

This urban fantasy TTRPG lets you live out every 80s high school movie, and it's less than $5
1+ min ago (162+ words) Gab is a naturally playful and talkative writer with a particular interest in D&D, Warhammer 40k, and indie tabletop games. They adore the chance to write about these things every chance they get, be it for Wargamer, their personal blog, Dicebreaker, or ScreenRant. (They/Them) The 80s are a lucrative source of nostalgia, all neon lights and totally tubular adjectives. Naturally, the tabletop RPG space isn't immune to its charms, particularly the cyberpunk genre, which owes much of its aesthetic to 80s grime. But another side of the 80s just as memorable (and cutthroat) are the high school movies. If there's one thing you learn from these movies, it's that high schools are a vicious pit of vipers. Take all those raging hormones and add magic to the mix, and you get Lighthearted, an 80s urban fantasy TTRPG. Read the full story on Wargamer:…...
