Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he is in the midst of the worst period of his trophy-laden career. Press Association “I get it as a fantastic experience – an experience that I don’t want to repeat. I want to finish tomorrow and win some matches again. “I think it comes too late, to come after 15 years is too late, but it’s something that is helping me to be better, a great negative experience.” Mourinho insists it is not the most challenging period, but the worst in terms of results. He said: “I had a big challenge all the time. It’s the worst results. I’ve never lost so many matches. That’s a fact.” The challenge began on the opening day of Chelsea’s title defence, a 2-2 draw with Swansea on August 8, the repercussions of which continue. Mourinho criticised first-team doctor Eva Carneiro and head physio Jon Fearn for going on to the field to treat Eden Hazard. And Mourinho was cleared by the Football Association on Wednesday of making discriminatory comments towards Carneiro. FA chairman Greg Dyke has told officials that Mourinho committed “a failure of his personal judgement and public behaviour” in his criticism of Carneiro, while independent board member Heather Rabbatts launched a stinging attack on the FA for its “seriously disappointing” handling of the case. The Premier League champions have two wins from seven games this term and followed up last Saturday’s draw at Newcastle with a midweek Champions League loss at Porto. “I define (this) as the worst period of my career, with the worst results in my career,” said Mourinho, whose side host Southampton this weekend. Mourinho refused to respond on Friday, saying his comments will come in time. “For the past two months I didn’t open my mouth and I’m going to keep it like this. One day I will speak and I will choose a day,” Mourinho said. “I’m quiet about it for a long time. I read and I listen and I watch and I’m quiet. “I’m telling you, we can be here all day. My time to speak will arrive when I decide.” Mourinho is frustrated with the results, but is coping. “I like to be under pressure when I’m top of the league and the second is one point behind. I don’t like the position we are in, but I adapt,” Mourinho said. Mourinho reacted angrily to suggestions in the morning newspapers that his players were unhappy with his methods. “In here we speak openly. We criticise people without any kind of problems and no prima donnas crying,” Mourinho added. “When you make a mistake you have to speak about it. You know what I call that, in football? Coaching. “If the coach cannot coach, go to a newspaper where nobody criticises anybody. Not all newspapers I believe, but one especially.” Branislav Ivanovic has been subject to much criticism for his performances, but Mourinho refused to comment publicly on his right-back, who has avoided the fate of other established players who have been dropped. “Ivanovic likes to speak to me and likes to speak to me about his mistakes,” he said. “I’m critical with him and I speak with him about what he has to try to improve. “I have no doubts that he is my best right-back. And I have no doubts that he has to improve in some aspects.” Striker Diego Costa completes his three-match suspension against Saints, with Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao in contention to start, despite not being selected to travel to Portugal. Captain John Terry has been an unused substitute in recent weeks, bar a Capital One Cup start at Walsall, and Chelsea fans serenaded him during post-match exercises after he again did not play at Porto. “Fans can sing and I’m happy they sing and I’m happy they support John,” Mourinho added. “He’s ready every game to play, even the ones I leave him on the bench, he’s ready to play.” Thibaut Courtois is the only injury absentee – out with a knee injury until December – and Mourinho is looking for goalkeeping cover, with the signing of Marco Amelia possibly close. “We have at this moment Marco Amelia working with us,” said Mourinho of the former AC Milan goalkeeper, who is a free agent. “What we need is some cover. We need some stability until Courtois is back. Maybe he’s the guy to give us that.”

And Marta moved one clear of Klose when she scored again from 12 yards to open the scoring in Valenciennes in the 74th minute.Elena Linari’s clumsy lunge on Debinha gave referee Lucila Venegas Montes little choice but to point to the spot, and Marta duly kept her composure to send Laura Giuliani the wrong way to make history.That earned Brazil a 1-0 win that ensured they advanced to the last 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.17 – Brazil’s Marta is now the outright top scorer in senior Fifa World Cup tournaments with 17 goals, overtaking German men’s player Miroslav Klose.

The U.S. is in disarray on numerous fronts, from the coronavirus pandemic still raging six months into 2020 to recent instances of police brutality offering another stark reminder of omnipresent racial disparities in the country.While small potatoes compared to other issues, baseball is in an existential crisis as well. Normally a mode of distraction amid uncertain times, there is not currently a concrete plan for a 2020 return with owners and players locked in a bitter feud over salaries. There could be a full season lockout on the horizon, as well. Letter to Babe Ruth https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sporting_news/d1/ed/letter-to-ruth-ftr_10qeswcs2d4bi1gemm9v78qbp0.png?t=-1266883990&w=500&quality=80MORE: Why MLB should still celebrate 1998Like any young fan, Curzon had been excited to spend his summer relaxing and taking in America’s pastime.His unhappiness at baseball being taken away is apparent in his letter. (CBS News) “They cancelled Baseball!” Curzon writes in his letter to Ruth. “The sport you loved is cancelled.”Ruth actually did correspond with kids during his life. At one point, he penned a letter to a child sick with polio, telling the youngster he would one day play in the big leagues.Hopefully his ghost is similarly kind to us baseball fans. So when a 9-year-old wrote a desperate letter to Babe Ruth earlier in the pandemic asking the late slugger to save baseball, it wasn’t too dramatic of a plea. The game really does need some saving.We’re not sure whether asking someone who has been dead for more than 70 years is the best chance of achieving salvation, but at this point it’s worth a shot.”Since he’s like a guardian angel now, I wanted him to somehow make this pandemic stop,” said the letter’s author, Jake Curzon, to CBS.
Tags: England Golf, President 14 Aug 2018 Somerset’s Graham Yates to be 2020 England Golf President Somerset’s Graham Yates has accepted the nomination to become President Elect of England Golf for 2019 with a view to becoming President in 2020.Graham has been a golf volunteer for 45 years and joined the board of directors of the English Golf Union in 2007.He played a key role in its merger with the English Women’s Golf Association which created England Golf in 2012, and he continued as a director of the new organisation until 2017. For the last three years he was chairman of the board.He commented on his new role: “I am very honoured and delighted to have been given this incredible opportunity to serve the game of golf.“Golf has been a big part of my life and it has been my privilege to have had the opportunity to offer my services and to work closely with the thousands of volunteers and colleagues who support our game towards its future in all its forms.”Graham has played golf since he was a boy member at Saltford Golf Club. But his first experiences as a golf volunteer developed in Malawi.It was there that he and his new wife, Hazel, made their home after he joined Standard Chartered Bank in Malawi in 1968. He was with the bank for 25 years, mostly in countries in sub Saharan Africa, including Malawi, Cameroon and The Gambia. He also had a five year spell as administration manager for the bank’s operation in France.During all this time abroad, golf and club life were an important part of leisure activities and after first volunteering at Lilongwe Golf Club in 1973, Graham became heavily involved with club committees.Graham remembers: “Golf came in many different forms. The early days were spent in fairly basic tropical conditions playing to browns not greens, and with fairways not dissimilar, in the dry season, to many golf courses this summer in the UK.“Notwithstanding the sometimes brutal climate conditions, golf was played with enthusiasm and it was an eye opener to me at the time to realise just how widespread the game was and how varied and different the courses were. This was equally true of the participants and fellow players which ranged from caddies emerging as really good club players, to playing fairly regularly with the President, not of the club, but of the country.”After Graham took early retirement the Yates family returned to the UK and settled in Somerset. Soon Graham was again persuaded to became involved in club committees, this time at Taunton Vale Golf Club, and in 2000, he was appointed as the Honorary Secretary for the Somerset Golf Union.Other voluntary committee work followed, with spells on the former English Golf Union’s Championship Committee and the SSS and Handicapping Committee. Graham was elected the Somerset Golf Union President in 2008, and as the South West Group President in 2013.Graham is a member of Burnham and Berrow Golf club, the renowned Somerset links course, which has hosted many national and international events. The club will stage the English women’s stroke play championship in 2020, coinciding with Graham’s year as President.“Burnham and Berrow suits me very well as a genuine mix of the traditional values and etiquette of golf, a very good test of the game, but probably and more importantly as a golf club responding to the changing needs, pressures and reality of golf in the 21st century,” said Graham.
At their annual Marketing and Buying Convention, Source For Sports® and Stopconcussions.com launched their Head Zone initiative to their store owners, the sporting goods industry trade and the media. “It is amazing how our helmet manufacturers including Bauer, Reebok, CCM, Easton and Cascade, the medical community, and the athletes who are willing to share their story, have come together to address this issue,” Dale Donaldson of Mallard’s Source for Sports said.Donaldson owns and operates stores in Nelson and Castlegar.“Our young players and their families are important to us, as is this issue,” he added.The issue of concussions was addressed through several points of view from the diverse and experienced panel. Jim Thomson, self-admitted “enforcer” during his nine years in the NHL, called for an end to the violence, which begins with ruling against fighting. “I can say with certainty because I was an enforcer, that we must take the violence out of the greatest game in the world”. Former NHLer Dennis Maruk agreed, and noted that “players don’t seem to have the respect for others in the game anymore.”“It is an invisible injury,” said Dr. Michelle Keightley, Clinical Neuropsychologist. “Education is key for the management of concussions. “We need to bring awareness to the symptoms in order to diagnose and treat these injuries effectively.” Dr. Keightley stated that studies have shown that the effectiveness of mouth guards in concussion prevention are inconclusive. “A helmet that fits properly is going to be an important prevention tool”.Keith Primeau, former Philadelphia Flyers captain and founder of stopconcussions.com applauded the efforts of Source For Sports® stores across Canada.Mallard’s Source for Sports, along with fellow stores across Canada will be hosting Helmet Fitting Week September 26th to October 2nd. All hockey players are encouraged to bring their helmet to their local Source For Sports® store, no matter where they purchased it, for inspection and fitting assessment in the Head Zone.
