Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis Picture: PAContrary to all available evidence he attempted to portray a referee who had barely awarded a single marginal decision to City, and who had somehow conjured up six minutes of added time, as a homer who had contributed to his team’s defeat by not awarding a penalty when Britt Assombalonga crumpled theatrically at the slightest of touches from Christoph Zimmermann.Back in the real world, of course, Middlesbrough had been effectively neutralised as an attacking force by Daniel Farke’s surprising but effective team selection, and after starting brightly had been pushed further … [Read more...] about Robin Sainty: Old heads playing their part in Norwich City’s season

MARAWI CITY - A brawl and reports of vote-buying marred the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections here on Saturday, as the polls finally pushed through after a postponement in May. In a polling center in Barangay Lumbac Madaya, police had to fire warning shots to break up a fight among supporters of competing candidates.
