🚨 Chris Kavanagh's controversial refereeing decisions: ❌ 2022: Rodri handball vs Everton, no penalty awarded. PGMOL later apologised. ❌ 2023: Ødegaard handball vs Liverpool, no penalty awarded. Howard Webb later admitted it was an error. ⚽ 2024: Stones' late winner vs Wolves, allowed despite Bernardo Silva being offside near the goalkeeper. ❌ 2025: Van Dijk's goal vs Man City — disallowed. Independent PL panel ruled it should have stood. 🟥 2026: Gravenberch sent off vs Man City.

There is 1 ref based in Merseyside. He's never officiated Liverpool or Everton as he is not allowed. There are 3 Manc refs. Taylor, Kavanagh & Tierney. They've refereed Utd or City 209 times. After the Prem look into City they need to look into the PGMOL.

#France — A photograph taken in Gaza by Palestinian photojournalist Jehad Alshrafi has been removed from an exhibition at the Deauville Sport Images Festival, an international sports photography festival held in Deauville, Normandy, France. Alshrafi, who works for the Associated Press, took the photograph on February 14, 2026, during the Gaza Sports Club - Al Ahly match in Gaza City, played on a pitch surrounded by rubble. The photograph was due to be displayed as part of the festival’s second edition, which runs from June 6 to September 6, 2026. Festival organisers confirmed that the photograph was removed following “some requests”, but did not specify who made them. The removal came after criticism from pro-Israel circles. The photograph shows Palestinians continuing to play football amid the destruction in Gaza.

Trabzonspor keep raising the bar when it comes to weaving culture, humanity and football together. In the middle of an open game against Ferencvaros, Isaac and Salah’s daughter walks on the pitch together. There is no rush nor awkwardness. Just football making room for innocence, family and community. This is bigger than the game. This is how a football club becomes part of the fabric of its people. Ne güzel.

OpenAI just exited the video generation business entirely. App dead. API dead. No video inside ChatGPT. Disney’s $1 billion deal, signed four months ago, is dead. Read that again. This isn’t a consolidation into the super app. Altman told staff Tuesday that OpenAI is winding down all products using video models. Disney’s own statement says they respect OpenAI’s decision to “exit the video generation business.” The Sora research team is being redirected to robotics. The reason is sitting right there in the competitive data. Anthropic hit $19 billion in annualized revenue by early 2026 selling text and code. No video generation. No image generation. No consumer social app. No Disney deal. One product surface: chat, code, computer use, all in one place. OpenAI looked at where every dollar of market growth was coming from and saw the answer: coding and enterprise. So now they’re copying the model. ChatGPT, Codex, and the browser merge into one app. Instant Checkout killed today too. Every consumer experiment is getting cut. What remains is the Anthropic playbook: one app, code and chat, enterprise and developer focus. The Sora numbers explain the urgency. Total consumer revenue across iOS and Android since September: $1.4 million. Peak month was $540,000. Every video generation burned GPU compute that could have been running inference for ChatGPT or Codex instead. OpenAI’s own head of Sora announced generation limits because chips couldn’t keep up. At $14 billion in projected 2026 losses, every GPU matters. Google just inherited the AI video market by default. Nano Banana already lives inside Gemini. No standalone app to manage, no separate brand to support. Among the majors, they’re the only ones left. Runway, Kling, Minimax, Luma, and the other independents are still shipping, but none of them have Google’s distribution. Disney put $1 billion in stock warrants on a product that lasted six months. The deal was announced in December. Characters from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars were supposed to be generating fan videos on Sora by now. Instead, Disney is writing a polite press statement about “respecting OpenAI’s decision” while its legal team unwinds a deal that never produced a single licensed video. Four months from billion-dollar partnership to obituary. That’s how fast the AI product landscape reprices when the unit economics don’t work.

The child who was subjected to torture (including having cigarettes extinguished on his body and a metal rod inserted into his feet in front of his father)— In a delayed video released by the occupation, the moment of his handover to the International Committee of the Red Cross is documented in the “Yellow Line” area east of Gaza, days after he was detained along with his father. During his detention, he was subjected to severe abuses, while his father remains imprisoned by the occupation to this moment.

Israel attempted murder on Irish journalist Steve Sweeney and his colleague while they were reporting live on air in South Lebanon. Israel has killed more than 260 Palestinian journalists since Oct 7. Ireland should Boycott playing UEAFA with Israel.
